Actor Builder Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 We're also not sure that it will NOT just be a large bell.
Captain Pirate Man Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Any idea when it might come out?
Actor Builder Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Methinks we have no idea. It's a wonder this thread hasn't been locked.
Captain Pirate Man Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Why would it be locked? Its clearly coming at some point this year, it doesn't hurt to speculate.
Actor Builder Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 In the past, mods have locked threads for lack of information, then unlocked them when something new appeared. I guess if discussion is encouraged, it wouldn't hurt to fill this thread with clock/bell tower puns?
tafkatb Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Maybe if people just post a whole bunch of rampant speculation, some of it will turn out to be true? A broken clock is right twice a day, after all.
Actor Builder Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 A broken clock is right twice a day, after all. The phrase does ring a bell. Alright, I'll step into the speculation pot. I'll bet it's a huge bust of a guy named Ben.
Stash2Sixx Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I won't lock it because you guys may be on to something...but who knows?
CM4Sci Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I'm gonna guess it'll be a giant-sized version of the Architecture set, to add more than just the clock tower. This is the next Tower Bridge / Sydney Opera House, right?
Captain Pirate Man Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) BTW, which set do you think it will replace TB or SOH? Honestly I'm ready for them both to go since I just got TB. They need to do another American landmark, perhaps Empire State Building. Even though these themes are not minifigure scale, most of them look fine in a Lego city IMO. Well not the Opera House. But TB is fine, Big Ben will be fine, Statue of Liberty would be fine (i don't own it though), and the Eiffel Tower would also be fine (don't own this either). I think mixed in with the modulars they can really add some pizzaz to your city. My Tower Bridge is a minifig walking bridge, but it's still awesome. Edited February 27, 2016 by Captain Pirate Man
Actor Builder Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Big Ben might be a translation error. Maybe it's actually Big Ren. It's a large scale Kylo Ren model.
tafkatb Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 There aren't any pictures of it, but 40220 London Bus is now listed on Brickset. Quite possibly a GWP that will coincide with 10253.
Actor Builder Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Perhaps Big Ben is the bus driver's nickname.
jonwil Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Someone posted on another forum that they have seen a retailer price list. That price list showed "Creator Expert Big Ben" with an October date and an Australian RRP of $349.99.
Emmi Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Someone posted on another forum that they have seen a retailer price list. That price list showed "Creator Expert Big Ben" with an October date and an Australian RRP of $349.99. Did he mention other stuff like Technic Porsche or the Creator Expert VW Käfer as well? Can you share a link. Thanks!
legonerd54321 Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Hopefully we get some more news, or a press release soon, since this is supposedly going to be released in May for VIP's.
tafkatb Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Hopefully we get some more news, or a press release soon, since this is supposedly going to be released in May for VIP's. No it's not. That's the Minecraft D2C.
Jern92 Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Someone posted on another forum that they have seen a retailer price list. That price list showed "Creator Expert Big Ben" with an October date and an Australian RRP of $349.99. sounds like it's going to be about the same size as the Tower Bridge, judging by that pricing. Can't wait for the official reveal!
Actor Builder Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 What if this set is actually Pig Pen... I guess that might stink.
jonwil Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Australian RRP for the Tower Bridge is $379.99 so Big Ben is going to be smaller than that.
just2good Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 And probably also a huge pile of tan pieces. :-) Yes, a lot. There's what seems to be Kylo Ren's blade in tan for the crosses but it looks smaller, so I think I'm wrong. AMA.
CM4Sci Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Oh, gosh, you've got pictures already.. Uh.. any other interesting pieces in new colors? Is it the entire place or just the tower?
Clone OPatra Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Uh.. any other interesting pieces in new colors? Is it the entire place or just the tower? Tower and a wing of the building, exactly like the original small Architecture set.
CM4Sci Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Tower and a wing of the building, exactly like the original small Architecture set. Is there a mini bus with it?
