TheOrcKing Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I know; not the most creative title in history but that really is what this very limited set only available in Billund is titled. Here is a Brickset review done on it. What is interesting is the actual structure in real life has not been built yet making this a sort of 'preview' model. To add, this is the first Architecture set to include a minifigure....but I'm sure you already figured that out. Quote
Stevenplays Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 So a Lego house based on a larger Lego house that hasn't been built yet?...my head hurts... Quote
Pseudoty Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 To add, this is the first Architecture set to include a minifigure.This set is not part of the Architecture series, at least that is what I keep telling myself so I don't have to add it to my collection at the current price. Prices are high on ebay and Bricklink has it for $78 but I cant see paying that much for a set I can build for less then $10 with the exception of 2 parts, the name plate and the minifig body. It is part of the more exclusive 40000 line and it would be nice to have MISB if anyone is shipping. Quote
knarrff Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 So a Lego house based on a larger Lego house that hasn't been built yet?...my head hurts... No. Probably the blueprint for the larger house. They model the large version after 4000010. My only question now is: can I get the real-life bricks via Bricklink to build my own life-size lego house? Quote
supergman Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Crazy how they're all selling for $100+30s/****. Quote
kobus Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Does anyone know about the availability. I'm tempted to drive to Billund, can I just go there and pick up some? Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Does anyone know about the availability. I'm tempted to drive to Billund, can I just go there and pick up some? Why not just phone them? If you never call, you'll never know. ;-) Quote
TheOrcKing Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 I came across this little video of a virtual tour that sort of explains what each 'section' will be used for when the real life structure is built. Quote

Wow! That vault is a heck of a way to display all of the LEGO sets ever made (presumably) :w00t: Quote
chinchy Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Does anyone know where these sets are actually sold? If I have a potential contact in Denmark, does anyone know where I direct them to purchase this set? Is it Lego stores only in Billund, or a specific store/location in Billund? Quote
kobus Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 They sell it literally on every streetcorner in Billund except at Legoland. I bought mine at the local supermarket (they had plenty), but I saw the barbershop also sells them. Quote
jaylay Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 anyone else caught this on the news today? says it will be 75 feet tall LEGO complex completely built of Lego with kid attractions and Lego Shop ... Quote
Grolim Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Sounds cool. Hope they used lots of Kraggle 2 Quote
chinchy Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Is there some other Lego House? The only one I'm aware of is the one being built in Billund, of which this set is based off of? http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=4000010-1 Quote
minicoopers11 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I bought 10 of these at an athletic goods store right across from the Lego House construction site. Should have bought more...forgot Emirates has a total weight checked baggage policy, not a number of bags policy. The cashier was encouraging us to buy more, "Are you sure you don't want more? This set is very popular for resellers!" If you're non-EU citizen, don't buy at the supermarket. Buy somewhere that will support VAT refund. Quote

Everywhere [in Billund] except Lego and Legoland stores. Best bet are stores in the immediate vicinity of the Lego House site. Quote
Bernard74 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I picked one up in a store in the Netherlands last week (for Quote

Bernard74 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Yeah I thought it was pretty expensive for a set this size so I just bought the one. They had 3 or 4 on the shelves. But nice to own a fairly rare set and who knows what they will be worth. Right, well only in Billund anyway. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met behulp van Brickpicker Quote

I would have definitely grabbed one, given the same situation. Quote
Ed Mack Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Needless to say, this could be the next Marina Bay Sands or Rover if it remains limited to Billund. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I'm due to go to Copenhagen soon so I may just hire a car and see what I can pick up. I'm done with buying "normal" sets now but, still up for a quick flip. Quote
Ed Mack Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Pick up several cases of this set, it's a winner. Quote
minicoopers11 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Absolutely...buy as much as possible. There are some locals flipping it for about US$40-$50 on Bricklink, but they're.... locals. Get all you can and skip down the road afterward. Quote
