You've convinced me. It is more substantial and detailed than I thought. Thanks for all the build pics.
It's really solid and didn't feel repetitious at all. I think it looks great with the tranquil gardens.

Anyone here have the Pyramid of Giza or the smaller Hogwarts castle?
I have the tiny plants on order.

The pyramids for me didn't look as interesting a build as other architecture sets, but I could be convinced
.Family member is a HP devotee and the smaller castle may find its way into their Christmas stocking. It looks like a great build and much easier to display than the larger one.
Tiny plants looks great, I'm hoping to get that with one or more of the GWPs coming. I envisage displaying those with the Piranha Plant in the middle

Same vein, anyone been to Legoland in Chadstone? thinking of making the trip.
I haven't, but family members have. Very much geared towards children (in fact I believe you have to have one with you before you can get in as an adult) but they enjoyed it. The store there is meh, but it does have the Legoland sets, which I believe aren't available anywhere else in Australia (perhaps someone can correct me if they also have them in Dreamworld).

Early reviews say this one isn't as good, but you have to have it anyway, right?I had the OG Majisto workshop as a kid
I love the retro sets, they're always done with such passion for the originals. I'm dreaming of a remake of Emerald Night
.
I read somewhere $120 off the Batcave one

heck i was looking at some of The Simpsons sets online. Good lord price must have jacked up after they discontinued. Absolutely spewing.
I have the house and kwik-e-mart. Both excellent sets for their period. Always thought it a shame they didn't release more. I guess Moe's was out as a subject but there were plenty of other options.
Who wouldn't have loved a Simpsons Monorail??
The museum looks pretty fun
I kinda half-collect the modulars, but only the ones that appeal. You're right, this looks like fun. Bigger and more expensive though, I think I only paid about $300 for Assembly Square. If it wasnt for the freebies and points this weekend I'd probably wait. Looks like the Piranha Plant is OOS at Lego.com so that's not an option.
I thought the piranha plant would be popular
The Orient Express has been released:
www.lego.com
On the fence with this one to be honest. It's a completely different set to the original Ideas submission and is expensive at $470 for 2500 pieces (many of which would be brick built track).
I try to collect all Lego trains but this one is going to create some angst I feel at that price point.
Fits the Lego track system but is not designed for motorisation (not sure where you'd fit a battery box). I'm sure someone in the community will find a way.

Hoping the crane gets a good discount!
Discount on each of the above sets is 20% give or take rounding to the nearest $10. Crane is $840, Titanic and Eiffel $800.
Still very pricey but it's the first time I've seen any of these discounted.
