inversion Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Told ya it would return! Do you have a link to the facebook page, I can't find it (probably some localisation thing, I'm in Europe looking for a US facebook page) https://www.facebook.com/LEGOArchitectureGlobal?fref=ts Quote

Darth_Raichu Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Am I the only one thinking OCD fans will pay a lot of for the original flawed edition ? Quote
Dr. Brick Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 What do you think about this set? Is it still worth buying it at $175, free shipping? Or do we think Lego will produce more? Does anyone still have a backorder for this set? Thanks for your feedback Quote
TheDarkness Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I'm excited! Not only does this mean an opportunity for many more people to buy this excellent set, broader distribution means more opportunities for others to try a LEGO Architecture Studio 30-day Challenge like the one I did in the fall. :-) Great for international fans... not so great for investment though.

comicblast Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I think that the Architecture Studio will come back in stock, so I wouldn't pick one up for over retail ($149.99). This "set" definitely will be worth $250+ really quickly after retirement, but I don't think it is upon us just yet. Quote
holleman67 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 It blew.up.to almost $300 when it went oos. If you need one for investment then yes, if you believe it will come back again then no. Quote
111ins Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I would love to see this come back and get one but from the Facebook page, but the statement about it coming Aug.1 is from last year, is it not?? It seems to be listed under earlier posts about other sets.... UN, Marina Bay etc..... not sure if we will see it or not OR, am I missing something obvious? Quote
pkieu87 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I love this set. I sold 60+ and netted a few grand. After closely inspecting my stock, I kept one that was as close as perfect condition as I could find, boxed it up and archived it. Did the same with my 41999 crawlers as I made a few grand off that one as well. Quote

It's coming back worldwide August 1. I will be dumping the ones I have before then. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker Quote

They created a timeline for the release dates of the sets. It looks the same if you enter your birthday on facebook. Still, you did not make the post when you were born. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 I can see it now.... Architecture Studio 2.0! Just watch this get turned into something like a VH1 series that keeps on going and going and going.... Quote
mudcatsfan Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 2.0 will have all black pieces. Mark it down. - NostraMudcats Quote
jbacunn Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 2.0 will have all black pieces. Mark it down. - NostraMudcats That's a pretty good guess actually. They could do the same pieces but this time have multiple colors i.e. white, gray, and black to give it more variety. Quote
No More Monkeys Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 That's a pretty good guess actually. They could do the same pieces but this time have multiple colors i.e. white, gray, and black to give it more variety. That would be a huge turnoff for them aspiring architects Quote
comicblast Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Just some proof that the Architecture Studio will be out for a while longer, Huw on Brickset has recently shared that the Architecture Studio will be available in Europe for 150 Quote

comicblast Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Early August Ah, yes. Found the Brickset thread This set (#21050) will be available as a Lego exclusive in the UK from 1st of August 2014. It's in the Summer 2014 Lego catalogue page 31. Price Quote
firefighter5145 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 SET #21050 Find!!!!! Ok I have a bit of an issue as to the correct action to take on Set #21050 Architect Studio. I have read how their have been shortages in January 14 to the fact that an updated version II is due out in August 14. I have located 4 NIB units at a local B&****** at $174 and am thinking of buying a flipping rather quickly before August gets here. Any thoughts on this and if the price point on Ebay of $220 -$235 is still reachable. Quote

And the fact that every single B&****** has them in stock and online Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah I would buy to hold right now. It will do well once actually retired though. Quote
jbacunn Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah I would buy to hold right now. It will do well once actually retired though. Agree but this set could be around a LONG time. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Agree but this set could be around a LONG time. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker Yeah I would agree. I think to clarify - if I was buying it, it would only be to hold. I myself am waiting until next year to really pay attention to it. Quote
firefighter5145 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks for the quick replies. Yeah the math works out to a minimum profit of around $15/unit at selling price of around $210 with $10 for shipping. Thats not enough for me personally to take the leap without some coupons of 15-20% off to raise that margin. I also have (2) Burj Khalifa @ local Target for $50/piece. I know its retired but I just dont see the market being overly enthusiatic about a gray barrel set and paying a premium for this a few years from now. Thoughts?????????????? Quote

You bought them for double retail price? They aren't even going for that much on Amazon! Buying at that price point does not leave room for a return, IMHO. I see $60 tops in 4 years. Quote
