As noted in one of the amazon reviews this is a good set for getting certain rarer pieces: sand green slopes and tan fence spindled both of which are expensive if you buy them individually-just adding the cost of those two parts if you were to buy on bricklink you would pay $20 (assuming 50 cents for the tan spindled fence and 15 cents for the slopes).

It is no surprise since for most people that monitor (non-Amazon) deals by the min or hour, they won't post something unless it is really hot deal (at least 40 to 50% off for Lego). So may take days for some of those non hardcore deal seeker to post this. For Amazon deal, there are more people check the price so even so-so deal, someone will also post those sooner.

Legos aren't just for kids. :shake:

HAHA, yeah and when the drippy kid is more likely to run a fortune 500 company and your non drippy kid is flipping burgers, im sure they will care.

Do you get a free Great General with this?

RavenSEAL 02-02-2013 05:12 PM

Ah yes, I remember when Legos were meant to be use at your imagination, not the shape created by some chinese factory.

Ghnvt 02-02-2013 05:33 PM

These kits are nice, really good quality. Picked one up.

No, I prefer to channel my energy into more challenging, adult-oriented hobbies.

PRINTABLECOUPON 02-02-2013 06:25 PM

umm legos made in europe always have been never outsourced.

frauw 02-02-2013 10:08 PM

I got this set as an Xmas present last year. It is very nice. I wanted it because I am a German teacher and have it displayed in my classroom. The only thing I do not like is the top. That part looks terrible imho!

Actually that's not true....they are not sole-sourced anywhere. They are manufactured in Europe, Mexico, and some (not many) are made in China.

I couldnt agree more! You may as well buy them a snap together model. Where's the creativity in these pre designed lego "kits"?

hehe Oh that's right, a boring kid with no imagination who needs a pre fabricated lego kit of a building instead of using his imagination to build sonething is exactly the type of person it takes to run a f500 company. He'll still be boring and probably lonely to boot. But at least he will be able to buy as many lego models as he wants and he can really take the lAst shred of fun.out of it by hiring someone to follow the instructions and snap it together for him too! Fun fun fun. Or should I say, drip, drip drip.

Legos aren't just for kids.

Really? I do enjoy playing with them myself...when my 3 year old asks me to play Lego's with him. Spend a lot of time at Legoland too?

Right on! Personally I'd feel like I was wasting my life away if i were still playing with Lego's. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED them as a child. My favorite toy, it's just that now i like to play with grownup toys and build real buildings and work on real cars, but hey, more power to you my friend. Thats the great thing about living in a free country, we can play with whatever we each enjoy. Have fun!

Shivalyn 02-03-2013 03:28 AM

Meh I work with wood, I ride motorcycles, and I play with Legos from time to time. It's all good fun, just depends on what you want to do. Legos are also useful for making mockups since they come in standard units. Just assign one block = 1 foot or whatever you want.

If Legos aren't 'adult' enough for you, then move on. You made an ignorant statement, so own up to it instead of trying to deride those who called you out on it.

Also I don't recall a scenario where Legos ever came in big buckets (though I know you can buy them as such). I've always had to get the sets, and then you build those, get bored of them, tear them down and make something new. If a kid wants to build the Brandenburg Gate, more power to him. He'll likely turn it into a rocket ship in a week or two. That's how Legos work.

Lego have always been sold as pre-designed sets that had instructions. You can build the set and then part out the pieces to build whatever you want.

BTs4me 02-03-2013 10:46 PM

Been to Brandenburg Gate with hubby so bought one for him for Valentine's day gift as he's struggling with hand "festination" due to a chronic disease so I'm hopeful that he will be able to manipulate these pieces enough to put together the structure. This gift should help in building new synapses as well as training his fingers to move in ways they're not used to moving.

Thanks OP, reps to you and thumbs up! I had no idea these structures existed.
