It's like a pre chosen pickabrick scenario of pieces that you didn't really need.

Ok the price is not as bad as many of us expected. For 4000+ pieces, price is better than 10 cents per peice. :)

I might have missed it somewhere, but I can't find the price. Has Lego announced it already?

Cool I hadn't checked the front page, that's actually a really really good price. That is only 5.6 cents a piece. However 1/8 of those is a little 1/1 beige roof tiles.

oh and:

I agree with you guys. The price is lower than what we anticipated. This set is getting better and better with all the new pictures!

Then that would mean $679 in Canada just like the ucs mf :?

Wow, that's pretty cool. I predicted $249.99 before the prices was released and was only off by about $10 bucks...Pretty nice set. Might have to get this just for the parts alone. These models are pretty big, it's hard to build and have room to keep them all. Judging my the reactions, seems everyone is into cheese slopes...that's pretty cheesy... :lol:

i predicted wrong. but that's because i thought it was mf scale. i saw it comes with vehicles and thought mf! :lol: since we now have a microfig scale, this set is micro micro nano scale as the microfigs can't fit into those vehicles. :lol:
