Hmmm, for that price I can go to Bricklink and create a similar sized KILLER MOC™ of my own design.

What’s interesting to me is that I blanche at that price point, but I’ll spend whatever it takes to build my own. Go figure.

You must have access to cheaper stores that I do ;) No way I could build something that size at that price.

I’m with Tim, 2000+ parts for $140. That is extremely good if true. I was expecting $200 to tell the truth.

Well, most of the BL stores are in the US, and I try to avoid the shipping costs across the pond whenever I can...

Well, I have a LARGE pile of bricks with which I begin:-) I supply the common stuff; I only need help with specialty bricks or bricks in larger quantities. I tend to focus only on BL expenditures, not on the final, overall cost of a MOC (if I could even do that)
