brickolodon Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The boat has come in or been stuck in the Lego warehouse so to speak. I hear they are using Joker Steamrollers to break the ship loose. True but limit of 5 per every steamroller.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would buy the architecture version of that , the UCS version will take up too much spaceAnd too repetitive. The idea is intriguing in theory I suppose but the Great Wall of China is simply that; a big wall. That sort of build sounds interesting as watching wallpaper dry. Honestly the Egyptian Pyramids, Mayan Temples, or Incan city of Machu Picchu would make for a more diverse building experience. Besides if I'm going to build a wall, it will be Pink Floyd's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides if I'm going to build a wall, it will be Pink Floyd's. Technically it is not a straight wall. For the most part it is curvy and goes up and down the hill, with guard posts sprinkled here and there. So there is a challenge in representing something like this in LEGO: For the record, I also want the Colossus of Rhodes or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) The hanging gardens of Babylon will be even more difficult. Cause no one knows exactly what they looked like. Neither does the Colossus of Rhodes, which was one of the reasons why I wanted them .. and the other reason, I spent so much time (too much) playing Civilization 1-5 games Edited February 27, 2015 by Darth_Raichu 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 There I changed it a bit, you 9471 / 9474 hater 9471 and 9474? That is the Orc Forge which I have two of already built and Helm's Deep also built. Moving along, I have the regular 9493 X-Wing and two 9492 TIE Fighters that I am looking forward to putting together. All I need is Vader's TIE and I can recreate the trench run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED-209 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 IMO the Great Wall wouldn't work because the set would only be a section of the wall, and Angkor Wat would have to be a big set in order to have any real detail. Just my dumb idea, but maybe they could release a an Architecture Civilizations series with the above +the Sphinx, Stone Henge etc... By the way, does anyone have any rumours of Architecture EOLs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
