but as a kid played with a small set,
but for Myself and Dad it was always Meccano, but this Lego boxed set caught My attention, for the wrong reason! a gift for true enthusiasts of both the toy brick company
and Star Wars, the Ultimate Collectors Series Millennium Falcon is the single
largest and most expensive Lego kit ever sold, presented in a huge box full of
7,541 pieces,
In fact, the box is so heavy that Lego teased on Twitter that they’d have to add wheels and a handle so customers can get it out the door,
it comes with 10 minifigures, including Leia, C-3P0, Han and Chewbacca from the trilogy and Finn, Rey, BB-8, ‘Old Han’ and two porgs from The Force Awakens, You can even spin the original Han and Leia’s heads around to reveal optional faces outfitted with air respirators,
and now we are coming to my interest in it, not to play with, but as an investment! fans who missed out on the 2007 model still pay up to $3,000 in the rare occasion that one pops up on eBay, when new they sold for US$500, and Lego expects the new set to sell out, so if you buy one remember keep it in its original packing, do not open it and wait for hopefully the price, in a few years time, to skyrocket like the real Millennium
Falcon, if there was one, or alternatively let the kids play with it, but where is the fun in that? all you would do is watch your investment tumble quicker than a tumbling thing, so if My hunch is correct be first in the queue on October 1st when the sets are offered for sale, of course the sets may not go up at all, but do you want to take a chance that they will not? it appears the sets will sell for about US$800,
and here is a video about how the sets were designed, happy shopping!
