Doofy McGee Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Holy crap! $5,000?!? I wonder if he accidentally typed one too many zeroes. Good luck with that one Niko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Holy crap! $5,000?!? I wonder if he accidentally typed one too many zeroes. Good luck with that one Niko. Yeah definitely seems like it is worth closer to 500 (maybe 1000 depending the time he put into it). It's a form of art I guess, and the pricing is up to the artist. Beautiful MOC though.

Polar_Beast Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Very nice MOC. In the description is says he used over 70,000 pieces! Seems excessively high to me? But, if it is in fact true, then $5,000 sounds about right (maybe even too low?) using the standard PPP model. Now, before you jump on me, as I said already I find it hard to believe that it's that many pieces... -PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos_Eisley Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 When you start using 1x2 tiles to finish roofs and tiling the exterior walls the piece count jumps very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 That is a beautiful MOC, just a bit expensive. And a lot of pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reindeer Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Brilliant build, such sophisticated architecture, wowie! If I had $500 I'd buy it, but I don't think I'd even dare to pay $5,000 for just one build alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segreto Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 3/4 of it is most likely SNOT, and I imagine that will not hold up well during transport. Good luck to the buyer when they have to rebuild most of it from fallen pieces. Although, some of it might have been glued, which makes it worth $30.00 or so. $500.00 would be a great price, if one had the inclination to display someone else's work.

Yeah, it looks like they used the staggered plate technique for all the shingles. Probably why the piece count is so high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
