Vader888 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Hard to see what the dimensions are for this set. I wonder how tall it will be. Very nice looking set, and a must have! Quote

jonathan1 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I was hoping for a more detailed set, to match tower bridge. The clock surround looks like just a square box, not integrated with the clock. and is that mini mini figures standing in the windows of the houses of parliament? Quote
Migration Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 It will be interesting to see the designer video on this. Just based on the pics, I like it, not a home run, but easily a stand up triple. This set is a MOCers dream, I saw at least 38 visible tan micro figs and a ton of other great architectural pieces. 5 Quote

Expand They are microfigs, but they are meant to represent architectural detailing, not people standing in the windows. Pretty cool use of the LEGO element if you ask me. 1 Quote
Ed Mack Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Wonderful set. Top notch. I cannot understand how anyone is disappointed with this set. Investment wise...Below average...It will be around a long time and owned by a lot of people. 7 Quote
lego rules Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I love it. Day one purchase for me! It is hard to tell but I think the clock is a printed piece. It will be likely be a very boring build, similar to Tower Bridge, but the end result always makes me smile. 1 Quote

Quacs Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Can anyone see what the overall dims of the set are? I'm on a mobile, but not sure whether my its my phone or just the pic res that's blurring these out. Quote

All we have so far is this.. 1 Quote
tractorboy Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Very cool set I think. It's great that Lego are doing sets like this. My only gripe would be the microfigs. Once you notice what they are, it's hard to 'unsee' them as microfigs. Maybe they'll look more natural in reality rather than the box pics. It's a minor quibble though. Hard to see how they could have done this set better really. 1 Quote
feed Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I really don’t like the microfigs, I’d need to see it in the flesh, but the figs are probably going to kill it for me. Quote
Fenix_2k1 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Anyone who has built a few of the architecture sets is used to these microfigs by now. They don't diminish from the look once you get used to them. 2 Quote
texasade Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Day one for me, looks fantastic. Can't wait, I think buying 2 and making a larger houses of Parliament might be a cool option as well. Quote
oneknightr Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Oh man oh man. TLG hit it out of the park with this one! They definitely redeemed themselves from the AoH garbage. The only downside I see is that TB is probably going to stay in production a lot longer. TB will be the new DS. 1 Quote
TheGallows Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I like it, the box design is awesome, sometimes it can make or break a set. Quote
Nsheppard9101 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Being from England it's a must have! Will be the first (outside SW or Marvel set) for me. Quote
gregpj Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks @Fenix_2k1 .. I was trying to post a picture of the sculptures between the windows and for some reason it kept failing. I think the microfigs are awesome. 1 Quote
Sharkfin182 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Retail price supposedly confirmed at $249 actually. http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/10253_Big_Ben 4 Quote
fossilrock Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I don't know how anyone can bash this one. It's a gem, in my book. 1 Quote
