Cheers y’all. This set is a great build. Surprisingly solid when finished.

Just built mine too. First day purchase, no ragrets. Fun build and looks great. 

PS: You've got the bottom of the bottle installed wrong, it should be turned a quarter turn

I saw it today and it's actually bottle size, so it looks really nice.

Bottles also supposed to face the other way, but in my opinion it looks better the way I have it.

The picture on the box shows it the other way, but the instructions make you build it the way you have it. Mine faces the same way

So, just a guess....you didn’t count the trans-blue studs to make sure there were exactly 284?

Funny you say that cause I think I know a few on here who would...  I also chose the dump 3 bags method.  

You´ll get an extra trans blue or two as spares....

Damn, the temptation is great to just dump all of them into the bottle. However you're right that one has to count these to make sure one doesn't deviate from the official build. Otherwise one gets into mod territory.

The fact this one hasn't sold out upon release doesn't bode well for investment potential

 

 

Sold out in Flatiron store in five days.

Sold out in local stores.  Demand is higher than Lego forecast.  My store manager mentioned that customers are saying its a good value (PPB).  However, 30% of the piece count is the "water", so its a bit of a false metric on this set.  Hopefully Lego doesn't catch on and start loading up sets with small loose pieces.  (I imagine the mining sets could have come with "dirt" to dig and scoop to boost the piece counts.)

Well there are plenty of sets that are 100% turd, so why not?

The fake piece count thing has been going on for years anyway - we are only safe with Duplo in that regard.

Obviously you haven't heard about the "adding some flowers" method of raising the piece count a bit even in DUPLO sets...

Anyone know what happened to the Amazon listing for this one? Seems overnight it went haywire and acting like a prerelease now.

https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Ideas-CONF_21313-Building-Piece/dp/B078VVLQ6J/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1519235541&sr=8-2&keywords=lego+21313

Coming to a Walmart near you. You'd think they would offer it for sale before they start advertising it. Also now In stock at SAH.

Anyone knows how many of these babies per Lego shipping box?
