I don't anticipate the site crashing with demand
I really like it - but that pricetag is just crazy!
"If you've not done so already, read our review, then place your order."
I'd rather look at the price (once again), then decide not to place an order.
No Fish Tank yet though...
I expect quite a few people complaining about other people complaining about the price in this topic ;-)
But yeah, cool set, atrocious price. I'll skip.
"Honey I saved $500 today"
Think this is the first time I've thought Brickset needs to add a , I don't want this set, tick box
Love the idea, colour and aspects of this, but at a sensible price point. With this and The Digestive Star, I hope Lego see the, let's see what we can get away with pricing model that is now employed, start to fail
Maybe for 50% off
I guess they were serious about the filter GWP then. I though it was a joke.

Yay, the big facsimile of an aquarium is now available. Now to point and laugh at Lego's greed.
With this price, I would buy a real fishtank with real tropical fish
I’d rather fish out LEGO from that one beach where the shipping containers fell in thr ocean

To be fair, the 'let's see what we can get away with pricing model' is absolutely standard for anything being sold by anyone, from a loaf of bread to a Lamborghini. And with over 1000 BrickSet members already having bought the Death Star in the first month they don't seem to be too far off!
It's easier to charge £900 for the licenced Death Star (that I own) than £400 for a non-licenced set.
This looks very tedious to build. Like many of the Botanical sets (which I own many and think look marvelous!), arranging all those little parts with radial symmetry is exhausting.

Hey, give me a break, I'm Dutch. Complaining is our national sport ;-)

Complainception!
And I don't know, I think us Brits can give you a decent game at complaining ;)
Can people who buy this stuff at full price leave Lego as hobby?

After looking at the images, I don't even need to look at the price to decide not to buy it.

Norwegians can give anyone a good game with regard to complaining, (almost) nowhere in the world do people who have a historically unique chance of living well moan and b***h as much over relatively minor issues and problems as here.

As a Norwegian I can confirm that a lot of if not most of us are moaners that love nothing more than to search out any small faults we can and incessantly complain about everything and nothing.

I can't wait to watch the inaugural Complaining World Cup! Still can't believe how much they're charging for tickets, the greed really is going too far.

You’ll be okay, but only as long as you don’t read the review. Once you have read the review, then you have no choice by order of Huw’s demand!

I would genuinely watch a Complaining World Cup, it'd be a bit Pythonesque!
I'd only want the GWP...

I'd like to complain about all these people claiming they would be better at complaining.
This set is going to tank.
Those in glassless houses should not throw stones.
Something about this is fishy.
Proceeds from every sale supports needy LEGO executives around the world.
Act now, or we kill the fish in the filter.

I can agree with the Norwegians, I think they take this one,They’re a very stoic people it’s rare you even see a Norwegian smile, no offense or anything. Although I have to say Americans are pretty good at complaining.

What do you mean by that? Generalization is exactly the kind of thing we would expect from our friends in Norway, not from the U.S. And why did they pull the filter out of this set as a GWP? And what's up with the set not including a motor. Also, I could buy a real fish tank for less.
"Cast it into your cart! Purchase it!"
"... no."
"CONSOOOOMERRRRRRR!"
Already on back order?
May feel more natural and inviting without the tank edges and blue wall which aren't really needed. The corals use quite unusual pieces like chef and miners hats etc, but feels like a collection of underwater botanical sets, although I do like the crab and clever functions to provide movement.
I do not want to read anew
Nor order after a re-view.
I do not want this very much
I do not value it as such.
That GWP's insult falls flat
It should just call our mothers fat.
I do not want these fishy tanks
I do not want them, please and thanks.

They sold all 20 copies that they produced.
In the U.S. at least, the GWP set 40783 Coral Reef Diorama has also returned with purchases of $150 or more.
For anyone that does happen to be interested in 10366 Tropical Aquarium, 40783 does appear to stack with 5009823 Fish Tank Filter and Fish Food.

The infamous fish stack.
I know everyone will be mad at me, but I bought 3 so I could start a fish filter army.
Ok no. No I didn't.
