What would be your LEGO Dream Set?

I’ll stick with the answer I posted to a similar thread about a year ago:

Globe model kit (18” - 24” diameter) with stand.

I’ll second this as well. The last survey for S@H that the Ambassadors did included many recommendations for a globe, and I was quite disappointed the suggestion for it didn’t make it into the final report to S@H. So maybe this time it’ll get further.

Honestly, with this and this, what more does one need?

A design incorporating plates in addition to bricks. This would offer:

1) better resolution to the continents

2) a more refined spherical shape

As well as keeping the price down by using (theoretically) less-expensive plates vs. more-expensive bricks. If it’s huge and costs $500, nobody will buy it, but if it’s a regular-size globe like you see in schools, I can see that going for $150 or less, if you use plates and some internal bracing for stability.
