Link for those who want to see the official listing.
- Wow, $300
  If you dig through the pictures there's a decent bit more to it than just the initial diorama, but still.
  Hope the bootleggers do a good job copying it.
  
  Wait. There's bootleg Lego?
- Could you also share a Zelda?
  
  Fine, but only the one.
  
  @SpaceNoodle @Nadaph
  Share a zelda? You mean like how Bowser and Mario share Peach?
  I mean I guess.......Zelda gets kidnapped just as often as Peach, and yet nobody ever says Ganon and Zelda are willing lovers, but EVERYBODY says it about Peach and Bowser.
  Kinda weird, right? IF someone EVER gets kidnapped, its once in a lifetime thing. If they survive, they don't get kidnapped AGAIN.
  Certainly not 13 or 16 more times.....
Personally this set is a little unimpressive/boring. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here cause the initial Mario sets were also lackluster.

  IT'S $300????
  I'm out.
  
  That's on par for a set with that many pieces.
  
  Yeah, I don't disagree. Certainly not worth it at that price point for me.
It looks cool, but I'll never get over Lego sticker shock. I guess I've been out of the game too long.
- I know right. For 300 notes, I want a lot more Lego than that.
Looks nice. Me wants!
Man, I hope they'll make some smaller sets too. These are really cool display pieces, but I don't have the room or willingness to spend that kind of money.
I don't understand the interest in lego sets. They were great to me as a kid because they were cheap and you could build whatever. But now as an adult they do have these expensive ass sets that always look fugly as hell and you really can only build what the box shows as the pieces are custom to the set
- While you may not like the new sets, I don't think Lego has ever been cheap (source on price over time.
  I think as kids, we just never realize how much things actually cost.
  
  I only remember getting lego buckets and occasionally a lego design book. This is in the early 80's
- Both exist though and it's surprising the number of pieces they reuse and adapt just by changing their color
- Completely agree. I loved Legos as a kid but now they suck. Why would I want to buy a set that can realistically only be used with that set. It's way too complicated. I want to dump them all in a bin then build whatever I want and not have to sort through all these useless niche fucking pieces.
