Is it worth getting one of these around $80 or is that too much? What is the ceiling on this set in the US?

Hard to say.  It is a very exclusive set, sold only in shop in Billund.  While it is not an Architecture set by number, it compliments the collection quite well.  It also has a minifigure, which makes it more appealing.  I would say $80 is a fair price for this set in the US.  I bought a case and we will see what happens.

Would you pay that much for one for investing? Where did you get a case if you don't mind me asking?

Works out to $73 each.  The seller was excellent.  I got them in less than a week.

Hard call. I think it will be around for many years. The house is not built yet, right?

It's a typical tourist set.

Oh you're going to Denmark? Bring back something special. What more special then the Lego house... out of entirely white lego-bricks.

I wouldn't spend too much on it at this moment

I can swap 1:1 retal lego store set for this - should i do it?

Has anybody heard anything in relation how rare this set actually is? I mean, sure it's exclusive to Billing at the moment, but. if Lego keeps producing these sets well after the completion of the real Lego House the set wouldn't exactly be rare any more.

Is there a very limited number of these available or something?

Correction: "...exclusive to Billund...".

Any idea?

​If you want to continue to sell these sets, you should try listing some on Brickclassifieds.com. I'm sure that there will be some brickpicker members there who are interested in the sets.

What is MSRP price for this set?

It's 150DKR, which is about 20Euro or 23USD.

I also bought some when I was in Billund but I find it to be a slow seller. Probably because its a unknown set and not really part of the architecture line.

I predict that its going to be a winner. Almost 2017 when its done and not sold after opening the real Lego house. Can't wait till its done, this will be cash in my pocket ;)!

​I have heard stirrings that TLG will do a true architecture set for "The LEGO House" after it is completed. I would not be surprised. Plus this set 4000010 would make it a nice combo.

This place is going to be really neat, and I expect it will be something of a LEGO Mecca.

Sorry if this is considered the wrong area for this post or if it has been posted before, but just had to put this somewhere on the forums:

A 'real' Lego house based on a model constructed in Lego.

Of course we do... It is an interesting update on it though.

I figured it had to have been covered somewhere already by a BPer... Not like everyone here isn't doing shotgun blasts of "Lego" into search engines every five minutes...

Hello Guys,

just got the info from a friend of mine who owns a shop near to the real lego house building site in Billund that the last production run of the 4000010 is done! So its time to load up on this set! The real building will be done till the end of 2016. And that will be the time that this set will increase its value. Can't wait to see it with prices of 50€+ next christmas. I grap my sets in January [emoji6].

Greetings,

Christian

Now my stock is full again of this set! And its done, finally! Welcome to the horde, I've been greedy [emoji387][emoji16]. The Lego House building site gets its forms:

Christian

How many of these sets do people think might have been made? Sometimes I get the feeling some of these 'limited' sets are produced in bigger numbers than some regular sets. This will have had a two year production run at least, with a steady stream of resellers loading up on it. I find it surprising that they would cease production on it, just before the real house opens. Lego would sell a ton of these to visitors once it does open.

As my informant told me, he got the last delivery of produced sets. When he has dold out, its gone [emoji6]. This set will maximum last till mid of this year. Depends on people who visit Billund and buys the set!

This wasn't a limited set. Since 2014 the reselling price has plummeted dramatically.

Just walk into, say, a shoe store in Billund, and "Oh, how many would you like? You don't want to buy more? It's popular to sell online!"

Yeah, that's what I mean. I meant limited availability, in that it's only on sale in Billund. But they seem to be pumping out as many as resellers can stock up on. Then I bet most of those get sold to other resellers.

Looking at Bricklink's January sales figures... of the 120 that were sold, 108 went to resellers. In December it looks like 24 out of 30 sold went to resellers.

It could be a nice unique set to have for a long hold, but it looks like a reseller driven market at the moment with little end user interest.

Time will come... [emoji6]
