There isn't much to say about this giant Lego Creator model beyond "I WANT ONE!"... I know I have the Architecture model, but this is just a thing of beauty!

Of course that will all depend on how much the price goes up when it's imported into Australia. And considering that my Lego R2D2 went from $180 to $250, which I think is an increase of about 40%, which if that carries across would make it just under $450... so I think I'll have to wait for it to be on sale, but like R2D2.

Disappointing really... but doesn't mean I won't try my hardest to get my hands on one.
