And went to ordered one I haven’t built a Lego set for over 20 years, but I think if there is one Lego piece that a grown man can play with it is this one (I have been previously tempted by the Star Destroyer though).
There is a rumor that the UCS Millennium Falcon will be re released this fall…
I read an article a year or so back, about old LEGO sets has a value increase exceeding that of gold.
My son gets the LEGO Club magazine every month and I saw that one being proposed last year. Glad to see it made the final cut and is in production. My son’s collection is enormous and it’s one thing I have never minded spending money on. He’s even got the LEGO Mindstorms sets (the robotics kit). I’ve even got a modest collection that includes the Millennium Falcon, the Imperial Shuttle, the Tie Fighter, and the Snowspeeder. I really, really want a re-released X-wing.
By the way, Chris, when Kai gets up size enough, you need to get Mindstorms for him. It teaches robotics programming and is very simple to use, which is a good primer for STEM learning.
The coolest thing, bar none, about the Mindstorms sets is that you don’t have to have a fancy laptop to program it, you can use an iPhone or an Android phone.
My son will be five in July and I will be with him on his birthday. No way am I missing it. I got some good ideas here. He is also getting a PS4 and a bike.
