Just ordered the Falling Water architecture set from Amazon as it was £62. Can't resist a deal!

Iv'e allways wanted that set!

[kev1974]

hmm quite a few of the Architecture sets are discounted, wonder if the rumoured Architecture cull has arrived

[Oakey]

What architecture cull? I just ordered Farnsworth House as well.

Thanks for the heads-up! Ordered.

No Problem, they have the Lake-house chase at £25 as well which is about £15 cheaper than everywhere else as well if you are going for the collection.

Nice - just ordered that too! Bought the Lego Movie Sea Cow earlier (full price from Lego - but I think it's set to become quite rare) so they help offset it

Nice, the Sea Cow looks cool.

Benny's spaceship will be popular as well.

Sure I read somewhere that they were going to radically slim down the Architecture range

[Oakey]

What was the RRP of Robie House, there's one available for £200.

Nice one, girlfriends mum has staff discount so just picked up two for £152 each.

The latest creation for my space mad 5 year old. Built from stuff already in our lego box and bits sourced from Bricklink.. Just need to get hold of two more studless tiles to go behind the cockpit window bit.

Very nice, Mr Badger - liking that a lot.....!

Lego actually released a really nice Shuttle model, but never sold many and now its worth mega $$$

They'v done three (and probably more!) - 10213 'Shuttle Adventure' and then a reworked version of that set, 10231 'Shuttle Expedition'. I think the one you are referring to is 7470 which was the official NASA version with the Hubble telescope in the hold. This one is 10231 with a few bits left out to save a bit of cash.

The build was a bit repetitive in places (quite a few of the dreaded "X 2" in the instructions) but the finished product is better than I thought it would be actually - the booster rockets and fuel tank detach from the shuttle, landing gear drops down and there's a robotic arm in the hold with a satellite. Pretty big too - about half a metre tall I think.

Nice, you get 200 1x1 in dark red and 200 1x1 in clear. Enjoy yourself, .

I fancied one for a while, just don't have the money, not cheap.

7470 is the one which is worth the money, I assume?


It's a really good set. I think I bought it at a big discount; mine's obviously not just mint in box and I have no intention of selling any of my Lego anyway, but it's nice that I unwittingly bought something which has become valuable (in contrast to most of my Lego!)
