speedsausage Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I know this is off topic but Big Ben with power function clock tower that keeps semi-accurate time, now that would be epic!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedsausage Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Not sure if that's possible @ 220€There would be no way at that price point but I'm sure we'll see a moc of one at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedsausage Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I am pretty sure 1 can just transplant a cheap kids watch from Walmart on the place of the clock piece Yes but the majority of Mocs that I see use 100% lego pieces without using foreign product. Otherwise it becomes impure. Of course one can do whatever they want but using all lego pieces to achieve this would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantomas007 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Making another set from same country , even from same city within several years is absolutely out of logic. Plus, big ben is not so iconic - there is a lot of better buildings in the world - pyramids, something from new 7 wonders, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Mack Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Making another set from same country , even from same city within several years is absolutely out of logic. Plus, big ben is not so iconic - there is a lot of better buildings in the world - pyramids, something from new 7 wonders, etc.Big Ben would be a perfect candidate for a new landmark Creator set IMO. Also, as stated above, a very creative LEGO engineer could add a working clock to it, making it a spectacular set. When I think of the U.K., I think of Big Ben. It's as iconic as they come. I would love to see an Empire State Building with an LED lit pinnacle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I would rather they focus on the tower and make it very detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickDesign Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) I really like the idea of a Lego set based on the Big Ben clock tower.However, I think it would be even more interesting to see a new model in the series based on an iconic landmark from a country that has not featured in the series before.

speedsausage Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Another bonus to having Big Ben on this scale would be its build is up so its foot print wouldn't be as large. Barring they exclude the parliament building. Making another set from same country , even from same city within several years is absolutely out of logic. Plus, big ben is not so iconic - there is a lot of better buildings in the world - pyramids, something from new 7 wonders, etc.Not too many clock towers more famous than this guy. To add to the 7 wonders though, a Sphynx would probably be my 1st choice due to more exterior detail compared to a big triangle. One downfall would be all those tan bricks. I don't think it would be equal to the white of the Taj Mahal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 there is a lot of better buildings in the world - pyramids, something from new 7 wonders, etc.The Pyramids would be a very tedious set to build, not to mention dull and uninspiring.
