10253 - Big Ben

[Ed Mack]

If that's the Big Ben, then I am very disappointed.

[mattyman]

I would hope an official version will be a bit bigger

Rumors are that it will be a $200 set. Don't remember the source tho because read it weeks ago, so take it with a grain of salt.

But the structure we see in the video would fit that price range. Maybe after the slow seller SOH they are aiming at a different price range? I would not be surprised honestly.

I'm pretty certain this is a MOC but this scale or bigger is what I want to see.

Big Ben Google

I hope it is bigger than that. I want it to be suitable to go with the tower bridge, and will not be purchasing it if it looks like the one in the video.

Rumors at the forum eurobricks.com speculate about a price of around 300 $ , the listing of 10253 at the brickshop.nl website says that the exact price is not known at the Moment.

I hope the Set will fit to the TB with nearly the Same amount of pieces or more and a price per brick which is very much less than 0,10 €, something like 0,05 € per brick would be very nice. That would be 220-250 € if the Set will have around 4500 pieces. We will see.

SOH has less, but larger bricks. Weighs 25% more than TB with 25% less pieces.

Anyway, why would LEGO make a $300 set out of this?

And all this time I thought they were making a set out of this...

I mean that a set made about Elizabeth Tower would be nice, but one about a freaking bell? No logic.

I can't wait to learn more about this new Big Ben set 10253,  

I hope some more details will leak out soon, its been 5 months since the first news of this and nothing more yet

If it's really September, it's still gonna be a bit. Probably another month or so, at least...

Lets hope it not that long!

Nice to finally get another creator expert landmark.

Do you guys think this set will replace TB or SOH?  TB has been available for a looooong time.

At Baselworld (watch show in Schwitzerland) a brick model of Big Ben was on display. Probably just a MOC, and a very well made one at that, but a strange coincidence nonetheless. It appears in the video below from around 6:00 and on and off for about twenty seconds.

Approved this post. I gotta attend Baselworld one of these days. Yes, it's a Lego MOC

[rcdb1984]

looks pretty nice, a little simple. I was hoping the rest or part of the connecting buildling was going to be included. I'll be getting it though

That's most likely a MOC.

The scale would be really off then. Elizabeth Tower is only a smallish part of the whole complex.

[Fenix_2k1]

Yeah.  I think to do the whole Palace of Westminster you'd be looking at a smaller scale Architecture set. Personally I think that's where things will start heading for famous buildings after this next creator release.  

A large piece count flagship architecture set like the new Capitol Hill that is impressive but at a size that is probably still not too intrusive for display, is probably more attractive for fans of Buildings than the huge creator sets and at least they also fall into a theme then rather than being stand alones every few years.

As much as I love the looks of that, I think at that size, if I told the wife I intended to display it somewhere in the house my marriage could be over !!

That Big Ben from few posts back is chinese knock-off Wange.https://www.google.cz/search?q=wange+big+ben&client=tablet-android-nvidia&biw=960&bih=600&prmd=imsvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjpvavLj6LMAhUhM5oKHQWMDAQQ_AUIBigB

Just2Good say that this Big Ben is 60 cm tall and 19 cm wide.Overall set looks like that version from legoland.
