Buying a set TO BUILD, which one should I get?

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

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.

The Horizon Express seems a cool choice, 5 unique pieces and 6 minifigures.

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 :P

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

I would see if you can scrape up enough for a Tower Bridge, if this is purely for building and display.

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.

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.

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

The joust set is awesome but it's not the most fun build. I'd vote for the tower bridge.

I don't know why some people don't like them... they are gorgeous.

+1! Max are you in the USA?

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.

Sopwith Camel is often on special at Amazon.es, I got one for

I'd go with the Sopwith Camel..

R2-D2 for sure if you can stretch the budget. The Camel or a modular are also good choices.

Think R2D2 is

Tomorrow I'll go to the toy shop. I still have something like 18 hours before going there to take suggestions. Bring them on!

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.

Let's see, you don't like stickers (neither do I), have about 150

I'd have to check if it's available over here, though if it's trains, I'm leaning more towards Horizon Express.

+1 Sopwith Camel. I love castle and LoTR but this is by far my most favourite LEGO model. It's an enjoyable build and looks great displayed.It is also one that non-AFoLs appreciate as well. i.e. when they see this model they "get" that adults can enjoy Lego too........
