M4x18 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Finally I was granted permission to buy and build a set. I have some limitations as I don't have a large space where to put this set once it's built. Also I must not exceed 150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Horizon Express. At the Lego Store, it looks really cool and it's a train. No explanation needed for that! Sopwith is also a good idea, but I have to say, I thought it looked a little too "blocky" when I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcarin Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 It depends what you liek really... If you like LOTR buy Helm's Deep If you like City buy Express If you like Star Wars I would buy Millenium Falcon If you like Modulars buy emmmm not sure whatever is cheapest and looks good in your eyes. If you like anything else i cannot help you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legopocalypse Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Just adding a few more..... If you like Castle/Kingdom theme I would go with the Joust set. If you like the Winter theme I would go with the Winter Village Cottage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I would see if you can scrape up enough for a Tower Bridge, if this is purely for building and display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakotahorn Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 How about the B-Wing. I'm sure you can find a deal on them. I don't know why some people don't like them... they are gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get this one but I think it's pretty large and won't fit in the space I have set aside for this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4x18 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 The Joust set could be among the candidates too. I like LOTR/Hobbit but don't see myself building one of these sets now. The VW Camper could also figure in, it's MSRP is 99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akohns Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The joust set is awesome but it's not the most fun build. I'd vote for the tower bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabolos80 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The VW camper is probably my favorite build of all time. It's got a great color scheme, some really fun details, lots of micro builds, and it's a decent challenge. Plus, you can play with it when you're done. Vroooom!

What I don't like about some aets are the stickers. Awful. Just as much as stepping on a 4x2 brick in the middle of the night. 42000 is in the mix too but again, dreaded stickers.

Grolim Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 R2-D2 for sure if you can stretch the budget. The Camel or a modular are also good choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNH1974 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I see they still jack he prices up then. I remember moaning about that when I was a kid, it's why I was under the (mistaken) impression that everything was cheap I the UK. Back on topic, how about something like 7938 passenger train, a good build and rumored to go EOL soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to check if it's available over here, though if it's trains, I'm leaning more towards Horizon Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
