I've managed to get hold of the Tower Bridge and built it already, and believe me, its stunning. Amazing detail and really well worth the price. As far as display goes - the wife (thank heavens) absolutely loves it and has allowed me to display it in the living room, where there is enough space for it, and boy you need space because its massive. My modulars, other sets and worst of all my parts, however, got banished to my study, where there now isn't even enough space to build!<br /><br />So best of luck getting one of the Tower Bridge sets displayed. (Tell your wife you want a Lego room perhaps? We can all think positive I suppose)<br /><br />Will see on the post of too much Lego - food for thought ...<br /><br />JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-47732439819922086892010-09-28T18:08:00.200+01:002010-09-28T18:08:00.200+01:00You're dreaming, Huw - beautiful set or not, h...You're dreaming, Huw - beautiful set or not, hell will freeze over before my wife will allow my LEGO to encroach any further upon her living space !<br /><br />Dan, hold that thought about too much LEGO - it'll be the subject of an upcoming blog posting.....drdavewatfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046583913458496903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-22830310157907340772010-09-28T04:44:37.086+01:002010-09-28T04:44:37.086+01:00Great post.

There are a lot of them, each more amazing than the previous, and each in the $150, $300, $500 range. <br /><br />Like you, I was thrilled to learn about each set, that they took the adult collector market so seriously, put so much thought into making the sets more inventive, more complex, and not dumbing them down. <br /><br />But I can't help but feel there is a saturation point, in the retired sets market, and in space to keep all of these. I see collectors having to sell off their sets for lack of space, and lack of funds. Some are merely collecting minifigs, which is partly what I have been doing most recently. <br /><br />That said - I am amazed and thrilled to see the LEGO culture so vibrant. I suppose there are worse problems to have than too many LEGOs!Danhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/brickupdate/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-53885236420528704952010-09-28T03:07:23.678+01:002010-09-28T03:07:23.678+01:00Lol, I haven't made my Falcon yet for the same...Lol, I haven't made my Falcon yet for the same reason. Where am I going to put it? Love the glass case idea but no patience to make one.
