Migration Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I have heard that some Targets do have Architecture sets, but they are usually not located in the toy section. My best bet has been Amazon price drops (got two at $75 each) or BN BOGOs/member coupons. Some Targets do carry the Architecture line, only the smaller sets. Under $35 or so. They will be on the game wall in the toy section if a particular store carries them. I'm not sure what voodoo Target uses to pick which stores carry it, I've never been able to make sense of it.

Pseudoty Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 My Target carries Arch sets most expensive one I have seen is the White House. They are near the floor in the puzzle section and usually in a mess. OP if you are using the BN coupon I would stock up on White House at only $31.50 I have sold them for up to $69 on eBay while they are still in stock at multiple major retailers. As far as Robie I am hoping that FAO has finally stopped selling them on eBay for $200 looks like they ran out this weekend and we may see prices rise Quote
ashfordphilip Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Just bought a sealed one at 40 incl shipping on ebay! Quote
allen9917 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 The falling water is currently not on TRU website anymore. They could put it back up any time and we don't know the retire date. But one thing for sure is that if lego decide to retire it, this thing will vanish really fast. Quote
Achilles Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 It's been out for going on four years. Probably due. Since my B&******'s are out of Robie Houses, I started using my coupons on them. Not that anyone cares, but visually it's the architecture set I find most appealing as well. 1 Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I know the TRU site shows old sets and does other funny things but I'm not seeing Falling Water listed anymore. Robie was removed which isn't that surprising Quote
jaisonline Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Just noticed we didn't have a thread for this set. More info = http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=21005-1 So I finally built my first Architecture set, Fallingwater. The build and outcome was alright. Too bad it doesn't have the black outer border like the latest sets (uses nearly 100% of the 16x32 dark gray base) The only change I might recommend is using a translucent bluish tile for the water instead of all clear. Since my set was made in 2010, it was cool seeing the postcard-sized ad for Lego's Design By Me. Wish Lego still offered it despite the high cost. Since I have the connection to the actual building, I'll prob sell it down the road if it appreciates. Too bad Fallingwater (Mill Creek. PA) 280 miles from me because it would make a wonderful outing with the kids and wife. Just csn't justify that long drive with 2 and 5 year olds. Quote
nolanfan34 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Big fan of this one. If this is really gone, it is going to be a big gainer this year IMO. FLW is just so iconic for architecture fans. My dad is an architect so I am a bit biased on how popular it might be, but I think this can outperform Robie House long term - not just ROI but actual sale price. We, and by we I mean my son, while my dad and I watched and sorted pieces, built this during Thanksgiving. Very clever design although I agree with your points above on some of the colors. My son is 6 1/2, I was surprised he had the patience to complete it by himself. 1 Quote
Lego-Alex Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 So, Fallingwater seems to be definitely eol....in europe out of stock and ship in 30 days. Its always the first sign before eol. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 So it's not definitely EOL at all then? 30 day delay in the UK with 10 max order - hardly EOL, just a new production run. Quote
Lego-Alex Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 definitely not....Fallingwater is out since 2009 ! Quote

My son is 6 1/2, I was surprised he had the patience to complete it by himself. The solid color was my issue with the set. If the ground had been a different color from the house, I would have liked this set more, but I still think it is an excellent set. I agree this is one of the most iconic pieces of architecture.

MartinP Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 definitely not....Fallingwater is out since 2009 ! Hmm... The Death Star has been out since 2008, and it's still available. It really doesn't matter how long the set has been out to determine if it will go EOL or not. Some sets only lasted for six months, while others are still available after seven years. Quote

zskid00 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 You don't believe me? Lego Shop USA: Fallingwater Call to check product availability Good eye! That's great news since I spent a little money stocking up last month. Quote
chipbee Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Fallingwater should be done as imperial hotel takes over. Quote
mscheaf Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Weird. Figured they would discount it. O just got a 51r4 from sah. Wonder how long they last at b&****** Quote
shady225 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 i cant decide if i should buy some sets now at LEGO Shop at Home Quote
Lego-Alex Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) @Shady225 Not available at the moment, perhaps forever.... I think you are too late buddy.... Edited January 11, 2015 by Lego-Alex Quote
shady225 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 @Shady225 Not available at the moment, perhaps forever.... I think you are too late buddy.... nahh, its just shipping in 30days Quote
tmock12 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Weird. Figured they would discount it. O just got a 51r4 from sah. Wonder how long they last at b&****** I was with you. I started watching it flip from 'sold out' to 'ships in 30 days' to 'ships Jan 15th' and thought those were signs of it possibly being done. But then when it didn't get the discount like all the other ones (GE, HH, TH, architecture SOH and ES), I thought we may still have some time left. Now I'm not so sure again. Guess time will tell if it comes back or not. Quote
