(...) Wow indeed. I never thought I'd see an official set like that. It's perhaps a touch overdone - too many colours/details in a relatively small space - but still, wow! With these 2007 sets you are spoiling us, ambassa... er, LEGO. I have vowed (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

(...) 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). DaveE (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) 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 (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
