$800 and it's got a cruddy picture. What the heck are these?

You see $800 I see 800 VIP points hehehe...but on a serious note, (haha pun!) I believe it's for stuff like team building exercises and whatnot in big businesses

Are those like those kits from that episode of 30 Rock where the team leader is the only one who can see the instructions and has to tell the team how to build it in a certain amount of time?

You should use this new thing, it's called Google...

LEGO Serious Play

It's still hard to get into this. Maybe some day. :] Do we have someone here on the board who is using this?

[Hinckley]

You purchase it as a seminar for your company. I know someone who used to run the seminars.

The price per piece is pretty bad.

[Robianco]

The price per piece might be... but some enterprising soul spotted that there seem to be at least 6 of the light bley masts that make up the rear section of the UCS Falcon which normally sell for around £100 each.

If you were so inclined that is more than the value of the whole bundle.

[Lego Otaku]

They are however sold out on some LEGO sites so it's safe to assume some of the resellers already bought them to try and sell. If they can sell all 6 for 100 each, the rest of the 2000 pieces set becomes about $200 or within the sweet 10 cents a part.

[Robianco]

Well the cheapest ones are £80 on BL... so that's around $125 each. That's $750 for the 6... and that's if there's only 6. $40 for the rest of it doesn't seem so bad does it?

And for those customers it does not matter one iota what the colour of those interesting parts are. It would be cheaper for TLG to just throw in some black ones (unless they got loads in stock in grey) .. this is clearly an attempt to kill the aftermarket sellers. Or help out anyone who wants to BL a Falcon

And will that dish come in the next Serious Play set?

I stumbled across this the other day on the United States Shop at Home site. After some quick searching here on the EB forums and a few other country S@H sites, I have found no other info or discussions on this. Thoughts?

Personally I'm pretty excited to see what appears to be Millennium Falcon boat rigging in one of the sets. The prices of these sets/kits put this out of my price range.

Disclaimer: Like I said, I didn't search too hard so if I missed the TOPIC elsewhere here on EB, I apologize and I'm sure someone will move/delete this post.

I don't know about Millennium Falcon boat rigging but I was looking at these sets the other day as my employer was on about team building exercises. However it seems the budget does not stretch to anything like these prices so no LEGO for us at work.

[Sir_Basil_Ashton]

Why when I do a search on the main page, nothing comes up for "SERIOUS PLAY"?

As already pointed out, the thing that immediately stood out for me is the horrible price per piece ratio. I'd be interested in seeing the instructions in the starter kit.

[timtosino]

LOL at the Grandparent that that bought the set for their grandkids and reviewed it. If you had that amount of money to spend on grandkids I'm sure they would have had much more fun with 2 or 3 modulars.

[rollermonkey]

Anybody know what the story with these is about?

They started coming up in S@H for me, and offer some truly bizarre ppp values...

$790 / 2619pcs, $485 / 4900pcs, $37 / 219pcs, and $755 / 2455 pcs

Very odd parts, too. Duplo, Friends, City, etc. all mixed up together in each set.

There was a topic about LEGO Serious Play in the General forum, which I have now moved to Special Themes and merged with yours.

[rollermonkey]

Thanks. Weird that they suddenly popped up in the architecture stuff today.
