Amazing lego set. I can’t see myself buying it,

Huh-- why is that? I’d think it would make a fantastic set for various parts,
even if you’re not interested in the model (since it might not necessarily
fit into your desired scale or scheme).

Price. I can’t see the day where I would spend more than $40-$50 (if even that)
on a set any more. Not that I disagree with you or feel it is not worth
whatever the price will be. I just don’t spend that kind of money on sets. I’d
rather go to Bricklink or PAB and get exactly what I need.
The drawback to this approach, for me, is not seeing the building instructions
and learning potential new building techniques.
Again, to be very clear: It is not because I don’t think it is worth the money
or an incredible set. I am very happy to see it as a set and everything that it
stands for with regards to the community and experienced builder. I am not
intending to come across negatively in anyway with regards to this set.
It is awesome.

Ahh, ok. I thought it might be either the price tag or the bley issue, but just
checking.
For myself, I’ve found buying sets to be kinda helpful insofar as it exposes me
to new pieces and increases my collection’s potential. Kind of like when I
suddenly needed hundreds of this piece:
 . It’s not something I ever
would have thought to buy (certainly not in quantity), but it was kind of like
magic suddenly realizing that I had about 200 of them, because I happened to
have bought sets that had them. Of course, it does mean obviously that I get
bunches of pieces I never use, but still-- I’m often suprised at what I end up
using!

There is no bley issue with me. This is my home layout. Bley is all over it.

Totally agreed. Hence my mention on the instructions. One of my goals is to
keep my stock of bricks waiting to be used as low as possible too. It gets
frustrating at times, not having exactly what I need at my finger tips, but it
works for me.
