June 16, 201312 yr What if you had to choose one or the other but could never have both?? Which one would it be??
June 16, 201312 yr I was actually asking myself this same question when they announced the Opera House. Since they are both released on the same month, I think, I will just get one and wait a couple months for the other. Personally, I will be getting the Opera House.
June 16, 201312 yr Author All of us will be getting both eventually but what it will be interesting to see which one people would choose if they could only have one.
June 16, 201312 yr Sydney Opera House. No questions asked, all money on the table, just like that. BAM! This is probably my addiction talking but how about sticking a poll on this sucker for everyone, huh?
June 16, 201312 yr In that case, it would still be SOH. I was very impressed by Tower Bridge and I am sure the Opera House will look even better on display.
June 16, 201312 yr I think I'll skip both for now, and pick up the Death Star I've been putting off instead. But, if I had to choose one I'd get the opera house.

Builders are the only ones that should be looking into getting these two sets right away..........way too much money and space to be tying up if you are solely an investor IMO.
June 16, 201312 yr Ewok Village is cute and all with great play features, but the newest rendition of the Opera House is a stunning work of art worthy of the building it represents unlike the poopy Architecture model. They finally managed to capture the fluidity of the curves so magnificently. Can you do it for me, my phone is acting up.......thanks! Leave everything to me. Mwahahaha!
June 16, 201312 yr From an investment stand point, I would simply get the one that is the stronger seller. From a personal perspective SOH without a doubt.
June 16, 201312 yr Definitely the Opera House. Just reminds me of the Taj Mahal with that wow factor where people will still want later on. It definitely is a personal point of view though.
June 16, 201312 yr I would take Eqok village, but thats because I would want vegetation and parts... I only MOC castle stuff, and sydney opera house has less usable parts than Ewok village!
June 16, 201312 yr Personally the Opera House. For investment it's too early to tell and to early to even need to think about deciding, obviously both will be more than likely be winners.
June 16, 201312 yr I would take Eqok village, but thats because I would want vegetation and parts... I only MOC castle stuff, and sydney opera house has less usable parts than Ewok village! Unless you're building a white castle... =) I'd go with SOH
June 16, 201312 yr Unless you're building a white castle... =) I'd go with SOH Yeh but whenever I build ANY castle I tend to use hundreds of green stuff for trees/terrain
June 16, 201312 yr Yeh but whenever I build ANY castle I tend to use hundreds of green stuff for trees/terrain I like it when the terrain looks realistic to the castle so good job. I hate it when someone just builds a castle and doesnt built anything around it.
June 16, 201312 yr SOH for me as well, it would be to hard to pass up something so spectacular. It's not that EV isn't spectacular, in certain ways it is more so then SOH. I just think the build is going to be harder/longer and that is my favorite part.
June 16, 201312 yr Here is thed opera house looks fantastic http://brickultra.com/lego-creator-sydney-opera-house-revealed/
June 17, 201312 yr What about the Tower of Orthanc? Is that on the same level as these two sets? From an investment perspective, how are the LoTR sets shaping up? Seems like with a hardcore fan base + current Hobbit movies, there's nice potential...?
