marcandre Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Lame if true. Many other landmarks are worthy before past ones start being recycled. Or maybe Lego is just dead set on destroying any shred of collectability the classic sets have left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John82 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Wow Lego are really going to do this, have they ran out of landmark ideas already? I guess they want to put an end to any theme being collectable. Tower of Orthanc may become the rarest large Lego set in another 10 years time ?

Tower of Orthanc may become the rarest large Lego set in another 10 years time It's not only Landmark, they appear to have run out of most ideas! We knew that the era of remakes would be upon us soon so it's no surprise. Could it be a totally new Taj Mahal or a lazy re-box like the Technic Race Truck?

Fenix_2k1 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 There's only been 5 creator landmarks hasn't there? They can't have run out of ideas already. I could understand an architecture version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand an architecture version. I'd love to see these represented in LEGO: Rome Colloseum Neuschwanstein Castle (would have to be at least 10,000 pieces) Sydney Harbour Bridge (SOH buyers would want one) Golden Gate Bridge Venice Rialto Bridge Athens Acropolis Moscow St. Basil's Cathedral (maybe not due to religious significance) I came up with those in a couple of minutes, imagine what LEGO's designers could come up with if they took their heads out of their arses!
