The syndey opera house was revealed! The set is creator and has 2989 pieces and retails for 319.99 U.S.

Do you have a link??

would love to see a link - a little pricy for a creator, especially because the tower bridge had more pieces, and was cheaper!

It is front page at Eurobricks now

The Tower Bridge is cheaper, but its piece count includes like 400 of those tan 1x1 slopes.

Thanks thedarkness, it won't let me the copy a link.

Pic for those wanting it

Incredible looking set. I want it. Now.

Helps if I attach it!!!

wow

very nice set! kind of pricy at $319.99 though.

 

i will have to build this one! - any idea on a release date?

10234 Sydney Opera House

X-Wing, Orthanc, Ewok Village and now this. I'll be filing for Chapter 7 by the end of this year.

If this releases in Sept, does that mean TB will be gone before then? I only ask because i haven't built it yet. To be honest, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the opera house. Something about the roofs just doesn't look right.

Could somebody plesse post a pic of the actual building side by side with the model?

OH MY ****ING GOD, THAT IS SO AWESOME I COULD DIE!!!!!!!!

Now that is what the Sydney Opera House in Lego should look like!

 

Architecture version of the Sydney Opera House, it is official. You suck!

X-Wing, Orthanc, Ewok Village and now this. I'll be filing for Chapter 7 by the end of this year.

 

You aren't the only one. In my head I am already trying to find storage space

Those are some pretty big clams on the top of that building.  I wonder how they taste? 

What happened to this being the biggest set of all time?

Lego's propaganda machine in full spin....

I wonder if the interior has any detail? Oh and cover your ears naysayers......................wait for it, wait for it.........this set is gonna be a GOLDMINE!!!!!!! Scratch my idea about bundling the architecture series SOH with this one, no one is gonna want that POS now!!

Completely agree, it is just a great set!. Hopefully this also means that TB will be gone by the end of the year at the latest.

The Architecture set looks like Quasimodo now!

Goldmine written all over it? Absolutely.

On that note, off to order more Tower Bridge sets....

While the set looks really good, I didn't think the price would be quite that much.  I was thinking about $250, maybe as high as $280.  Maybe LEGO figures that at the higher price points people buying the sets are not as price-sensitive and they can hike the price up to whatever they want and people will still buy it (which is probably true).

If you don't have any Tower Bridges yet, I would not wait til the last minute, They should be around for the Holidays, but if that retiring sign show's up on Lego, the Panic buying starts.
