Like the title says if you could only have one set for your personal collection what set would that be?

To make it fun let's also put in what one set would you hold for investment?

My choice for personal would be the Emerald Night steam Locomotive. Its my favorite set fun build, great detail, ILOVESTEAMTRAINS, awesome play, Super display piece.

My Investment choice is a hard one but I have a hunch about the Haunted House so that's my one choice.

As much as I absolutely adore my SSD and my Dino Defense HQ set, It would have to be the Falcon 10179 - unfortunately I don't have one right now... yet.

 

My uncle has one and its the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

For personal collection, I would have to say Eiffel Tower right now, maybe Statue of Liberty.  Wouldn't mind the VW Beetle as well.

The very first LEGO

Man whats the CAGR on that?

I have to admit owning the very first lego building blocks set would be really awesome. So much history when it was simple, build anything you want from these bricks not what's pictured let your imagination take control.

I would say the Yoda UCS set, or Tower Bridge. I still aim to grab it to build before it retires!! I also really like the newer Clone Turbo Tank set that retired a few years ago.

Automatic binding bricks: they build themselves!

Huh... I think it has to be 4501.

Imperial Flagship.  I love the revolutionary war period and this reminds of the British Empire.  I bought two sealed at full resale value this past year.  If I would have left the Dark Ages sooner I would probably have a fleet of 30.

I would say the Yoda UCS set, or Tower Bridge. I still aim to grab it to build before it retires!! I also really like the newer Clone Turbo Tank set that retired a few years ago.

 

Both are really nice sets. I love the Yoda I have (scored in on Ebay used for 60$).

 

As for the Tower Bridge, my wife's downstairs theme is Cities are the world, so of course thats down there. Its quite the impressive set.

At least you get to look at it....Why cant I have a cool uncle? That has got to be the coolest Lego set ever!

 

10179

Either the Green Grocer or the 10179 UCS Falcon.

Tough question! Green Grocer, Imperial Flagship and of course 10179 would be three. I missed all of them. 

Statue of Liberty 3450

personal -that I have- falcon 10179

               - don't have- ucs imperial shuttle

 

investment- cafe corner

Both are really nice sets. I love the Yoda I have (scored in on Ebay used for 60$).

Needless to say, I impressed with your eBay deals finding ability.

Pretty much any of Orion Pax's 1980s inspired MOCs : He-Man, Transformers, MASK, Ghostbusters, Star Wars Desert Skiff,etc...

CASTLE GRAYSKULL LEGO

Oh you guys.... just go old school!

A sealed 497 Galaxy Explorer for me. Second choice would be a sealed Black Seas Barracuda

It would have to be 10210 or 10179.  Although I do have a soft spot for the original Black Seas Barracuda, which was my favourite set as a kid.

Grand Carousel

Let's see, Haunted House and..... what the heck, Haunted House. :pardon:

Taj Mahal and Cafe Corner

For me, it's a tough choice between the 10179 MF and the Taj Mahal. I have built the MF and it looked amazing, but the Taj Mahal is the largest Lego set with pieces. I guess I would go with the MF.

10179 MF ... would love to display that suspended in my man cave ... would be fricken awesome ... have it tailing a couple Tie Fighters!!
