There are reasons I lived in Europe, but this isn't really one of them. Now, if I *did* live in Europe and had plenty of money and space, I'd be tempted, if only to own the most expensive Lego set ever, but as it is, I'm fine without it.

I still don't want this thing."
Me neither.
Come to think of it, I wouldn't even want it as a gift.
By that I mean if someone was willing to spend that much money on a LEGO gift for me, I would tell them what they could buy me instead. It would be something I actually like plus would save said person tons of money since what I would tell them would be something far cheaper than this.

Oh, something I remembered about this set: https://www.tumblr.com/lowkeloki/803637244886908928?source=share

But if they were bound and determined to spend that much money on Lego to give you, you'd at the very least point them in the direction of a variety of cheaper sets that they could buy together, rigtht?

That's exactly what I was saying, wasn't it?
Or maybe it didn't come across as that, but it's what I meant to say.
Like, I could name ten sets I would love to have, that combined wouldn't cost half of what this sets cost - even at 15% off.

You saying "[It] would save said person tons of money since what I would tell them would be something far cheaper than this."made me think you were talking about one set, not a bunch of sets.

You're taking it too literally. It doesn't matter whether it's one set or several. It just means I wouldn't be happy with this set because I don't think it's worth the money, even if I didn't have to pay for it and for me there would be far better ones - be it one of the more expensive ones (like the Modulars) or several smaller ones (like the Speed Champions BTTF DeLorean or one or several of the Botanicals sets or the City Construction line for example) that even combined would be far cheaper.

Well there seems to be a lot of hate for this set (Which I understand, everyone has their own tastes) but i love it, and I just bought it!! :)

Yes I used the link! I also had some vouchers saved up meaning I got it for around £400, which is the only way I'd ever be able to afford it.

So thanks to Bricklink, which I check daily for deals, I caught my white whale!

These bricks can be used to build other things, just like other LEGO sets."

Sure, but that would be a very expensive parts pack, though!

Wow what an affordable 850 € set. Truly a game changing price. In all honesty, LEGO sets should get cheaper price per piece the more expensive they are. The current D2C prices are a travesty.

the most expensive Lego set ever.. so far.

Actually, all Star Wars fans want it, but they don't like the price. If it were a gift, nobody would say it was rubbish. Disappointed fans.
