Alpinemaps Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Someone over on Eurobricks pointed to the site Pricevortex, which is showing a new Creator set for 2016 - 10253 Big Ben. No other details given. Let the speculation begin. I, for one, think a landmark sized Big Ben would look pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Assuming this is not just a huge bell, I hope it includes more Westminster palace, not just the tower like the Architecture set. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacsniper Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Time to load up on SOH over the next few weeks if this Big Ben is in the same scale. 17 minutes ago, Kevink24 said: Oh, please have a space for a battery pack at the base and a functioning time clock...

Crustybeaver Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 If true it raises two questions: Will an existing landmark make way for it and if so which one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, it could fit nicely with modulars/minifigures if it is just the clock tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Tower Bridge got the cube expert logo box refresh and SOH did not, I am putting my chips on SOH will make way. Plus, I doubt SOH is a hot seller at this moment.

legopocalypse Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) The sculptures/landmarks are some of my favorites to build and display. I wish they would release these yearly, instead of every 2-3+ years. There's only what, 5 large sets like this so far: Statue of Liberty-2000, Eiffel Tower- 2007, Taj Mahal- 2008, Tower Bridge-2010, & Sydney Opera House-2013, with Big Ben-2016, being the possible 6th set.

This should work, considering that decorative clocks do cost quite a bit of money too. You can also incorporate the ideas birds into the clock and make it into a cuckoo bird clock, double the appeal to women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymorgue Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 This is exciting news for me. I myself love these big landmark sets. I hope though, that it's a huge set, not just because I like big piece sets, but because I think in order to do this set justice it needs to be highly detailed. So if it's just a clock, I hope we are looking at like a nice 2-3 foot tall clock that is undeniably Big Ben if they only focus on the clock. If they add on the rest of the building, hopefully it can be scaled enough to still be able to instantly recognize it. I'll stay optimistic that's for sure on this. They've done extremely well on all the other landmark sets, so I doubt this will screw this one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 It looks like Big Ben has an official page on Brickset (don't know if this is common knowledge) http://brickset.com/sets/10253-1/Big-Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyman Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Just doing some random googling and spotted the below - some of Jamie's fairground rides before he was employed by Lego; recognise anything? Can you spot the big (little) Ben! Looks like some some more fairground rides also coming along at some point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZmt2INoDRI&feature=youtu.be 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
