I'll looks to buy it when I'm in those EU countries with 'fairer' pricing also Italy gets a "special" treatment... 239,99 euros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Briggs Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 This is the kind of set one wants to buy on release day. How I wish AoH would be in the same league as this "UCS" Big Ben. 6 hours ago, Simon74 said: also Italy gets a "special" treatment... 239,99 euros.

187Flosse Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hey guys, it's nice to see, that most of you or nearly all of you are so excited about this new land mark set, but is there anybody out there who is also a little bit disappointed like me about this Set? For sure, the size/price ratio is awesome, it matches the TB perfectly like I have hoped some weeks ago, but to me the set looks more like a "too big 'creatORed' " Architecture Set then a real creator Expert land Mark building. In my (first) view only the clock brick is a really nice New gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've been cool if it were a typical "3 in 1" Creator set. Just imagine being able to transform Big Ben into Tower Bridge into Buckingham Palace using mostly the same bricks and pieces.

feed Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Incidentally, the new £5 will have/has the Elizabeth Tower and Houses of Parliament on. Okay, so not so many people are going to make the connection between a fiver and a Lego set, but still oddly coincidental. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrickdad Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Seeing the TB in the back of the instructions would indicate that TLG plan on selling these two side by side? This could well be the strongest indication yet that SOH is not long for this world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that AoH is basically advertising the retired AT-AT in the instruction manual. We've had similar cases in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pomodoro Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know why they include a bunch of extra tools in the set? Edited June 9, 2016 by Pomodoro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The clock hands are made from wrenches or screw drivers or something. 4 sets of clock faces, 4 sets of tools (tools come on a sprue as a single part) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll never understand TLG's logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clock hands uses one of the tools. the tools come in a pre-pack bag like the flowers and coins. So if we get one we get all that are part of the mold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the main selling points of the set. Just like the "also includes a cat" tag line for 76052 Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
