Only $200-$300? Golly, I hope so!

I believe that lovely set is what we call Art.

Wow, that’s a lot of turntable bases o_o

Andrew:
Tried to sneak one by me, huh?
Nope, it probably ain’t art. But it sure as heck is FREAKIN’ COOL!
(And coolness is almost as important as art, sometimes maybe more important).

Whoa, that’s awesome! I can’t believe LEGO designed that, it looks fan built.
August 7th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Cool; they used a fan technique.

aurthur guckic is way better.

White? It looks like the turntable bases are white but the rest doesn’t quite look the same? Hmm.
Definitely a must buy for that price!

Thanks for the compliment apple-pie

4 32×32 blue baseplates, on the order of 240 white turntable bases, I think 48 white arched windowframes, 76 1×3 white arches, ~24 1×6x2 arches, white bricks/plates/cylinders galore.
What are those pieces at the top of the spires at the corners?
August 7th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Those look like model team wheels (2695) with a 3 x dish on them.

I wonder if it’s fixed white or that deadgum milky white that keeps popping up in all my sets.
Geez that’s a lot of turntable bases.

Interesting, very interesting.
The turnable pieces give the sense of a mosaic floor thanks to the blue baseplate.
Clever design features on this one…

if you take the danish price as reference then it’s closer to $400- $450!

Sigfi, don’t forget that LEGO sets cost less in the United States.
August 8th, 2008 at 10:39 am
It’s on Shop@home now.
$299 in the US. $399 in Canada.

Preorders will ship on or before September 15, but does that mean that it will also be available at LEGO Stores on that date?
August 8th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Thanks Robert! Now that it’s available for pre-order, I’ve updated the links to go to the Shop@Home site.

Robert, usually the LEGO Stores run a couple weeks behind S@H on getting the new sets.

LEGO should hire Arthur Gugick to create more kick @$$ structures than above!

Are there any further pictures of interior or odd shots, anyone own one they could take pixs of?
