Popular Post Yinchuan Posted January 22, 2016 Popular Post Posted January 22, 2016 Lego 21010 Robie House. What an amazing and challenging build! I really like the fact that the instruction pages really make you work to build it correctly. You are scrutinizing placement based on the studs around it. Tons and tons of tiny red pieces and can be somewhat repetitive, but that is because the design emulates the brickwork beautifully. Catch this thing in the right light and just soak in the great details. The book is also awesome covering the history and sections of build. A great experience. This set does not really fit my normal display models, so if anybody is interested in owning a Robie, shoot me a PM and we'll chat. 11 Quote

So, from an investor perspective, given price, build experience, displayability, shelf space, box size, storage space etc etc...would you consider this to be a "must have" set for future resale? My initial thought is that this is a massive, overpriced kids play toy, but I have never seen a finished model in person so I can't say whether adults or comic book fanboys would be interested at such a high price. I'll take your response off the air. Here it is next to a Tumbler for scale...this thing is huge! I personally have one more sitting in inventory right now, and I feel pretty confident that this one will see some growth after retirement. Just not sure how much. It's definitely a great/challenging build. As @areyounormal mentioned, the interior could have had a bit more, but I'm perfectly happy with the exterior and that's what's being displayed anyways. High MRP can be a turn off for a lot of buyers, but that also means this set won't be hoarded as much. We'll see how it goes. 2 Quote

JeffProbst Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Received a Wall-E with a massive box dent earlier in the week so I decided to build it today. Satisfying build and the final result is great. Not a set that I want to be left without when the time comes. Quote

mfortunek Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Totally awesome. Quadruple like. I haven't thought about this game in 15 years… I love it! Quote
Alpinemaps Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 My 8 year daughter got for her birthday, and built, 41140 Daisy's Beauty Salon and 41142 Palace Pets Royal Castle. Both are pretty cute. She's still into Palace Pets, so it was a good pick from the friend that gave it to her. The build wasn't overly challenging. The usual bright colors that these lines seems to have. But, as an 8 year old girl, she loves it. 2 Quote

Brian Briggs Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Today I built my first architecture set ever: Imperial Hotel. The amount of pieces (almost 1200) in unnumbered bags was overwhelming at first, especially given that I only encountered sets with numbered bags since my return to Lego. The build itself was nice despite being fiddly at times. It's this high amount of small pieces though that allows for amazing detail for a model of this scale. The manual with additional information was informative, too. All in all a highly recommended set I wouldn't want to miss in my collection. 5 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 My almost 4 year old son was dying to build something so we grabbed 30278 Poe's XWing polybag. I really liked it! So did he. I was pretty impressed that he built it pretty much with minimal help from me. 5 Quote

Popular Post Pseudoty Posted January 28, 2016 Popular Post Posted January 28, 2016 This was a surreal experience a lot of enjoyment not so much from the build but from finally getting to build the CC. I need a frog and some hair. Up next GG. 12 Quote
