Wow. Makes me want to get the set even more. Better start saving now. This is incredible. Wouldn't want to spend years saying, "I wish I had gotten that."

Bagh! The price looks to be much lower than previously thought, and would totally be worth the dough, but it's just an example of one more amazing set I can't buy...

Welp, I'm just glad LEGO is putting out great stuff again!

This set is just simply great, and the price for about 6000 elements is very reasonable (especially in the USA). I will probably buy one.

Looking good. Still not sure I can justify spending $300 on it, where there is so much other good stuff out there...

Beautiful set and 5922 pieces for $300 is worth looking into.

Does anyone have a list of the parts?
I'll need to see that list before I can decide whether I want to buy it or not.

Maybe next year's 6,000 piece set will be a castle?

The tiles around the edging are the best use of the lower assembly of the 2x2 turntable I've seen in any creation. New life for an old part what-ho?

The price is reasonable for the part count, but there are other things I would much rather spend the cash on.

NOTE: Correction, in our basements, attics AND garages. Seriously I'm running out of space for LEGO as it is, not in my heart, just in my house, and considering I'm a taker of everything apart...gaaaaaad.

Good god... that is a LOT of blue baseplates! Unfortunately, those are the only things in this set that would be useful to me, so it is therefore not worth the money I don't even have.

My girlfriend was lucky enough to be one of the six people at Brickfair picked to do the first official speed build of this set. Woo! Even better, her and the other five people got to divide it up amongst themselves afterwards. Now, do I buy the whole set, or do I just try and bricklink the other five sixths of the parts i need?

I'm afraid to say bricklinking the rest would probably take much more money than buying the set itself!
