Unfortunately Lego collectible prices are falling so these remakes while not identical do impact prices on the once holy grail sets. We still have Taj and Eiifel Tower.....for now. But I just read on the blog that it will only help the 10196. ? Even the fear of the chance/potential for a remake is enough to hurt all the high flyers - and there's no turning back, that damage is done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANV Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 So far, the reaction has been cautiously optimistic and nigh universal praise. This is...very unusual for the board. Is it OPPOSITE DAY?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to get this myself and honestly, it's well-designed and different. I don't mind the stickers as much since it's a hell of a presentation set on its own. Having missed out on the original Grand Carousel, this is a worthy successor. I'm just glad this thread is very nice change of pace from the doom and gloom, sturm and drang, endless remaking speculation and wool-gathering about LEGO and it's future and motives, etc. we've seen lately.

Huskers1236 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Amazing set. Love it and love the animals vs. the weird looking horses from 10196. Color scheme is great as well. Love the dark and medium blue combination. Have we seen a definite price on this yet? At that piece count, this isn't going to be cheap. Really happy to be sitting on a pile of Fairground Mixers right now, this theme has been better than I imagined and the inevitable roller coaster will only help it. I would also like to see a drop tower with some pneumatics in it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Mack Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I will be curious to see a side by side comparison of the two. LEGO likes to inflate piece counts, so how much smaller will it really be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asharerin Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I love the set, just not thrilled about another remake. This will also be a decent money maker in 3 years. The Ferris Wheel and this set are excellent designs IMO. Just not as fun to collect these anymore as you never know if yet another remake will be coming down the pipeline a few years after it retires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 exactly. no chance 10196's value is helped my this set. I'm just hoping 10196 doesn't fall under $1,000 for new sets. Other than the sound-brick and "prestige" factor, there aren't many reason for buyers to purchase 10196s anymore. 56 minutes ago, asharerin said: No chance of that lol.

oneknightr Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Loving the new carousel. It looks amazing and the animals are fantastic. Way better than the weird-looking horses in GC. The spinning looks really smooth too as the designer mentioned they spent a lot of time getting it right. This just adds to my desire of creating an amusement park. I might have to return the Friends rollercoaster I bought since it seems inevitable that a Creator Rollercoaster is probably in the works.

Val-E Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 BTW it is up on SAH and Spain has pole position, pricewise at 206 euros vs 180 in Germany. TLG are certainly making it easy for me not to buy any more large exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
