Posted August 4, 200816 yr I just found the first pic of the upcoming 10189 Taj Mahal on Brickshelf. Link UPDATE-From the LEGO cache:
August 4, 200816 yr Yeah Baby! Great find Chris! Looks great! Almost 6000 Peices is that a new record? To the front-page! *Na-na-na-na-na-na-na--Na-Na!* *Spinning staudie head on screen* Stauder.
August 4, 200816 yr ! (It looks incredibly expensive though (£79.99-£149.99) Thanks for the pic though I could always get it at christmas since I have no money now! (You know why )
August 4, 200816 yr Must... Own... Unfortunately it looks to be the most expensive Lego set so far. To the front-page! *Na-na-na-na-na-na-na--Na-Na!* *Spinning staudie head on screen* Zap! Wham! Pow! :skull:
August 4, 200816 yr Looks very impressive. (It looks incredibly expensive though (£79.99-£149.99) $300 would be quite reasonable if it has almost 6000 pieces. I think it will cost much more than that though, given that the 5000-piece Millennium Falcon is $500.
August 4, 200816 yr With the UCS millenium falcon (5195 pieces) at 500 $, imagine the price of the Taj Mahal.
August 4, 200816 yr The set includes a lot of small bricks, which probably will make the $ pr. piece quite low.
August 4, 200816 yr I bet it won't be nearly as pricey as the Death Star. No minifigures to drive the price up and no licensing fees. Also its mostly basic bricks, so that'll keep it cheaper. Still will be pricey, just not as bad as everyone thinks. I figure UCS DS or ISD prices. Imagine how cool it would look along side the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty. Steve
August 4, 200816 yr That's gorgeous. The price is gonna dissuade me from buying it, though. I'll have to wait and see. But God, it's better than I expected. I was waiting for a picture of a crappy little "Factory" Mini Model.
August 4, 200816 yr Great find Christian, that looks like an impressive set that indeed would look cool next to the other landmarks! Thank you for sharing!
August 4, 200816 yr I'm really impressed with this. When we first saw the parts list, I was worried about the domes, but this is great! I can't wait to see what other landmarks we get. But in the mean time, I'm pleasantly surprised with how much I like this. TajMahOn!
August 4, 200816 yr Well done Lego , Im pretty sure its going to go down as a well liked set. Looks like lots of cool details. Thanks Whung for the pic!
August 4, 200816 yr Wow, it looks really sweet! I was also expecting something completely different! Guess they will take 450 Euro from us for this set. So far the mixture of the parts seems really interesting! While the Eiffel Tour was so interesting for the only grey parts and not too many different, here we get an interesting variety of parts and colours. Also the "architecture" or construction seems interesting. I wonder how big it is, and how heavy... Taj on! BORT!
August 4, 200816 yr I am awed, it was only the other day I posted complaining we had seen a picture and lo and behold what turns up. I guess the price will be about £250-300 due to the size but lack of Lucas cut in it. Though I would hope it is a bit cheap I only just managed to afford the Eiffel Tower
August 4, 200816 yr With the UCS millenium falcon (5195 pieces) at 500 $, imagine the price of the Taj Mahal. Yes, but the Millennium Falcon UCS has that pig on its back called STAR WARS... Which always marks up those sets by at least 20% it seems... M.
August 4, 200816 yr Ooooooohohohohoo. This looks very nice but I'll have to rob a bank or get another job to afford it.
August 4, 200816 yr Oh crap, that looks nice but if it's 600$ I will NOT get it. I simply can't afford it. That dome on the top looks amazing however!
August 4, 200816 yr Simply amazing, I'm pretty sure I here angels singing. This is a must-have for me if I buy just one other several hundred dollar set this year, it will be this one. Hey, I was right!
August 4, 200816 yr This set is really impressive I just it. I think it is gonna cost around $400 because even if it isn´t a licensed set and not contain minifigs it has such a big piece count .
August 4, 200816 yr I'm guessing more $ than the Eiffel Tower, but less $ than the Death Star. Basic bricks. Man oh man, I hope that is all white!!!! Nice find on the pics.
