stephen_rockefeller Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 My only concern is that the Opera House is listed as an "Architecture" model in this article which tend to be MUCH smaller than Tower Bridge or Taj Mahal Large Scale Models. For reference, Robie House, Architecture's largest model, is $200/2,276 pieces, but less than 1.5 ft long. The strange thing is that its given number (10234) would lead me to believe it belongs in the Large Scale Model Line with Tower Bridge (10214) rather than the Architecture Theme (all 210XX numbers).Don't worry the LEGO knows they messed up putting out that tiny POS architecture set of the SOH so this is their way of making it right. It will be spectacular I'm sure! Quote
arobert125 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I think this set will do very well with the MOC community..... Quote
TheOrcKing Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 We already have a Sydney Opera House from the Architecture line. This is going to be the real thing, especially with the Exclusive numbering tag. I really hope that the picture we have of the Ewok Village is someone's moc, because that won't cut it for a $250 playset, it's not even close. That image is a MOC and just meant to give us an idea of what the set could look like. I agree in it is nowhere near the $250 or even $200 mark by a stretch, and my fingers are crossed they will give the Sydney Opera House the rendition it deserves. Quote
TheDarkness Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 With such large price points, I'm really looking to some quality sets from the Opera House and Ewok village! Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Apparently there is a chance the set will be announced tomorrow. Not sure how reliable this is: http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-star-wars-ewok-village-10236-to-be-officially-announced-tomorrow/ Quote
blueremains Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Is this the beginning of the end for the Live Star?? And while we're at it- the Tower Bridge?? Quote
Ed Mack Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Oh man, that looks like crap! Yes, that is no $250 set. More like $50. 1 Quote
Maverick2k1 Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I didn't catch this in the thread but is there a tentative date for these coming out? Quote
Darth Lego Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I didn't catch this in the thread but is there a tentative date for these coming out? If the announcement is really tomorrow for the Ewok Village then I wouldn't be surprised if this set was released this coming new year. (January 2014.) It might come out later during the Summer of 2014 too. That is just a guess and nobody is 100% certain yet. Quote
Anakinisvader Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I can't look at C-3po in that chair without singing: Gold guy, Gold guy (family guy parody) 1 Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 It has been revealed! http://www.fbtb.net/2013/06/01/10236-ewok-village-revealed/ 1 Quote
agp548 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I like it. It looks pretty good and comes with a lot of minifigures. Quote
Grolim Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Better than I was expecting. Good play set and plenty of minifigs. Will be interesting to see if it does indeed replace the DS. Quote
StarCityBrickCompany Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 It has been revealed!http://www.fbtb.net/2013/06/01/10236-ewok-village-revealed/ This one looks great - I hope that LEGO continues to make these higher detailed sets. Plus, maybe the DS will be going EOL. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 This has to mean any second now Red 5 Is gonna come along and shoot those torpedos through the exhaust port of the 10188!!!!! Quote
tawsauce Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I wonder if this might help the ewok attack Lego that retired earlier this year. People may want some more ewoks to add to that village. :) Quote
sadowsk1 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Very nice, looks like a huge play platform. I wish there were more unique minifigures, but what can you do? It's not like I could build something like this. Quote
jaisonline Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 My boy and I just watched the video. He wants one ASAP. It greatly reminds him of his Kenner Ewok Village. Personally, I think it complements the Death Star and Ewok bunker sets. Looks cool but it is still Ewoks. It def does not replace the Death Star in size and element count. Something like Cloud City or Hoth would have done that. However, I can now see the Death Star being replaced by this since (aka retired) like my son, other kids will be GA GA over this set and parents will like the price point compared to the Death Star. It is def time to by the Death Star as soon as the next Amazon decent sale occurs. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I agree. People who have been waiting for the DS to be closer to retirement to buy should be on the lookout and get a couple once it drops in price in the coming months. Quote
Veegs Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Looks better than I was expecting, but not as good as I dreamed it would be. I'll still be a buyer. 1 Quote
Maverick2k1 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Finally a picture! I think it's pretty good looking. Quote
