The attention to detail in this set is incredible. I was showing my wife pics and she kept saying “it needs ” and then we’d see that in the set. Amazing amount of detail. Same reaction here. So many little details from the movies (1 and 2) captured in the set. I love how the front of the house and partial roof opens up. Such a great idea. Marv's alternative head print with the iron imprint got me rolling! I haven't bought a set on day 1 in a long time, but with shipping delays this season and this set being so awesome, I may have to pull the trigger. 2 Quote
Shortbus311 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Boo hoo. I can't film in the Lego store....but on the other hand I received a prerelease set for free.I don't understand the point behind your post... Are you saying that people shouldn't be allowed to complain about things that negatively affect their business? Because we have 3-4 threads here specifically for that. And because they enjoy a benefit from their particular business that they shouldn't be allowed to complain about anything else? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Quote

Shortbus311 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 $250 price tag on this almost 4k piece set seems like a great deal. I normally don't invest in sets at or above this price point, but this thing seems like a sure fire winner to me.Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk 3 Quote

Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Just pointing out the dichotomy of her situation. Sure she can complain that Lego limits her filming in the store, but they only have that power over her because they send her prerelease sets for review. I could go film in any Lego store and the most they could do to me is throw me out. Got to take the good with the bad. Quote

Got to take the good with the bad.But don't you think that after filming in their store and getting thrown out for it a few times that they would eventually completely bar you from entering? So, I would say regardless of her status in the LAN that getting thrown out of the store or eventually barring her from entering that it would negatively affect her business. Yes, now she would have the added consequence of being removed from LAN, but any of those consequences would be a minus. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 22, 2021 Author Posted October 22, 2021 The Home Alone franchise could be completely removed from the set and this still is a damn nice house. It seems to be 40 studs wide (42 including the overhang from the roof) so making it fit within a modular street could take some effort if you want to shrink down to a single 32 baseplate or the other way with stretching out across two of said baseplates. I believe there was a 48 sized baseplate available for some time but that was a while back. Anyway, not only do we have an official minifigure of Macaulay Culkin but also Joe Pesci and Catherine O'Hara. Well of their likenesses in any case. Quote

I couldn't find anything. Even stretching the search to include sets based on Avengers: End Game or Captain America: Civil War, nothing of our Aunt Tomei. One of my favorite films, My Cousin Vinny, by the way. 1 Quote
Pseudoty Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 4K pieces for a $250 fully enclosed brick built house is a great deal regardless of Home Alone. The closest comparison in recent times would be GBHQ 700 more pieces but also $100 more. Quote

They should have made this a 2 in 1 with that option. Quote

Considering Every major Christmas set is sold out right now I'm sure this is on a lot of peoples radar. I would be surprised if it's still available at the end of the day tomorrow. 1 Quote
