M4x18 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Finally I was granted permission to buy and build a set. I have some limitations as I don't have a large space where to put this set once it's built. Also I must not exceed 150 Quote
comicblast Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Horizon Express. At the Lego Store, it looks really cool and it's a train. No explanation needed for that! Sopwith is also a good idea, but I have to say, I thought it looked a little too "blocky" when I saw it. Quote

Alcarin Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 It depends what you liek really... If you like LOTR buy Helm's Deep If you like City buy Express If you like Star Wars I would buy Millenium Falcon If you like Modulars buy emmmm not sure whatever is cheapest and looks good in your eyes. If you like anything else i cannot help you Quote
legopocalypse Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Just adding a few more..... If you like Castle/Kingdom theme I would go with the Joust set. If you like the Winter theme I would go with the Winter Village Cottage Quote
Huskers1236 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 I would see if you can scrape up enough for a Tower Bridge, if this is purely for building and display. Quote

dakotahorn Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 How about the B-Wing. I'm sure you can find a deal on them. I don't know why some people don't like them... they are gorgeous. Quote
M4x18 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 I would see if you can scrape up enough for a Tower Bridge, if this is purely for building and display. I'd get this one but I think it's pretty large and won't fit in the space I have set aside for this build. Quote
M4x18 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 The Joust set could be among the candidates too. I like LOTR/Hobbit but don't see myself building one of these sets now. The VW Camper could also figure in, it's MSRP is 99 Quote
akohns Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 The joust set is awesome but it's not the most fun build. I'd vote for the tower bridge. Quote

Diabolos80 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 The VW camper is probably my favorite build of all time. It's got a great color scheme, some really fun details, lots of micro builds, and it's a decent challenge. Plus, you can play with it when you're done. Vroooom! Quote
M4x18 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 +1! Max are you in the USA? Nope! I am in Spain! Quote

What I don't like about some aets are the stickers. Awful. Just as much as stepping on a 4x2 brick in the middle of the night. 42000 is in the mix too but again, dreaded stickers. Quote
CNH1974 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Sopwith Camel is often on special at Amazon.es, I got one for Quote
Grolim Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 R2-D2 for sure if you can stretch the budget. The Camel or a modular are also good choices. Quote
M4x18 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 Tomorrow I'll go to the toy shop. I still have something like 18 hours before going there to take suggestions. Bring them on! Quote
TheOrcKing Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Let's see, you don't like stickers (neither do I), have about 150 Quote
CNH1974 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 I see they still jack he prices up then. I remember moaning about that when I was a kid, it's why I was under the (mistaken) impression that everything was cheap I the UK. Back on topic, how about something like 7938 passenger train, a good build and rumored to go EOL soon. Quote
