Pseudoty Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 $113.40. Let us know how the box condition is please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knarrff Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The 30% technically shouldn't work on the Robie House. If they notice, your best bet is the next 20% off in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silburned Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 As Pseudoty said. $113.40 was the final. New newbie mistake of combining the percentages rather than one after the other. The 30% did work. Cashier didn't even bat an eye. I looked and there is nothing on there about Lego, just applies to anything in "Toys". The box was pretty banged up. I went to a further out store and this was the last one. Seal code is 31M1. Here are shots. > > > 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I recall a couple members finding some to plenty of these Architecture sets at their Target (typically around the puzzles if I am correct). Well, it seems now my Target are carrying a few of the old ones around within their great wall of board games. I saw the White House, Empire State Building, Seattle Sonic Needle, Big Ben, and a spot for the Willis Tower (sold out). I didn't buy any but still it was neat seeing those little builds in their fancy boxes sitting there on the shelf of my Target which I really never thought would come to pass honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Targets in my area still don't carry any of the Architecture sets. The only time I saw an Architecture set was the 21011 Brandenburg Gate in the Lego aisle. It was most likely a return from an online order. Other than that, no Architecture sets for me in-store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabioso79 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I myself was not a fan of the serie. Though, I have to admit I had great returns on the 21016s that i' ve sold in the past year. Set was not available everywhere (tru exclusive in Italy) but we also have to admit it is not an iconic landmark to general public. For this reason i'm confident on good returns from some iconic landmark IF you get them at a good price (empire state building as an example) Sent from my Nexus 4 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscheaf Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 My Target is horrible for Legos. They only have the newest sets and they are always full price. They don't have architecture. I saw a Dolphin Cruiser for like $4 off. I kind of just never consider Target anymore for Lego investing since I am not into paying full MSRP or more for items that can be found all over for way way way cheaper. I do like going through their polybags at checkout though. When I go to Target for other things, 75% of the time I don't even bother checking the Legos. Why waste my time? I know exactly what it is going to be. Full price Star Wars, Chima and Super Heros sets that I care nothing about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashmoney-0 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Nice set...2000+ pieces, the largest of the Architecture series I believe. Large sets always do well when they are discontinued. The Architecture sets are very unique and classy and will appreciate nicely after they are discontinued IMO. To me, the are kind of a 'niche' theme, but they are attractive to the older Lego fans and they are the ones with the money. Wold this be your recommended set choice within the architecture theme? Or what would be your top 3 picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashmoney-0 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The Parthenon or Acropolis would be awesome in Lego form. Yes honestly the Parthenon would be such a fun build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locutus001 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 There are just too many great buildings (which might be why this theme may have a long life ^.^) I'd like to see for example: -The German Reichstag (Berlin) -Ch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojoyojimbi Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Does anyone know why is it that these sets are consistently sold cheaper than anywhere else on Amazon Italy all year round?

Zihuat Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Having only recently emerged from the Dark Ages, I can't speak from experience, but I do like the Architecture sets both for their uniqueness and stylish presentation. It's something you could give to a non-Lego fan (adult or teen), w/o raising any eyebrows. These are not "toys" but anyone who builds one will find themselves having fun in spite of themselves. The ol' inner child exists in all of us (even me at 64, ha ha). These sets cut through the barriers we've erected and allow us to find him/her. They're also great for bridging generations--found myself comparing build notes with an 11-yr old grand niece this Christmas. She loved the U.****** Building, btw :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legodelorean Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi, everyone. Is there a standard time that these sets are usually out for? From what I have read and sets that I have looked up, it doesn't look like it. It seems like some sets are out for a year or two and then some other sets are around for 5+ years. I looked through the 8 pages for this topic and I didn't see any questions like the one I'm asking, so I do apologize if it has been answered. I must have overlooked it. I never really looked into the Architecture line, but every since I bought Trevi Fountain and Brandenburg Gate at a discount I am looking at the line more closely. The sets look great. Some of the sets have a high price per piece. I like the Space Needle but the PPP is outrageous. I do have a feeling once it's gone it still may be profitable. Am I wrong?

fossilrock Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I was a little shocked to browse through Amazon lately. I was hoping to take advantage of some prime deals, if they happen, but from what I see, a lot of sets have gone OOS recently. Big Ben, White House, Villa Savoye, & Imperial Hotel are now in the hands of the secondary market. It will be interesting to see if any of those sets get restocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich05 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Does anybody think the architecture sets are a good investment. I just managed to pick up the Effiel Tiwer Lincoln Memorial and Trevine Fountain for just over £56 on Amazon. Normal price on lego shop is £95 for the 3.I can't see them going to crazy myself but nearly a £40 saving was to tempting to let turn down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returns on small sets like Lincoln and Eiffel won't be much to write home about. Trevi is a money doubler at that price, but you'll need patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
