Lego - Taj Mahal - model 10189 - HOW MUCH??!!

[The Hack]

I have a mint, open boxed example of this rare, discontinued Lego set. All bricks still sealed in original plastic bags. I bought it in 2009 for £299 but only just this week decided to possibly build it.

However - I just found out that Lego collectors are paying £1,500 and above for these sets.

5,922 pieces and Lego will never make a larger set apparently. So I am now planning NOT to build it and will probably hang onto it as an investment. :) Not a bad return in 8 years! Wish I'd bought a few more sets now.

Make sure that you keep it away from The Muncher...

Until next month apparently...

There are always Lego sets fetching a premium right up until Lego decide to release a reissue or a bigger set or something.Then the prices can be adversely affected.
Also,I'm guessing that collectors are paying 1.5k for mint,unopened boxes rather than opened ones so you might find it attracts a lowermost premium. Either way,perhaps it's best to sell it while you can find the prices appear to be at a premium now?

Brand new, unopened seem to be selling for over £2,000. Mine has an open, slightly damaged box but apart from that is brand new, with unopened plastic packs containing the 6kg of pieces!

Any hard-core Lego collectors on TZ? :)

I remember that advert really well! :)

Those are my all time favourite ads, especially the first one.

I can't wait for the new UCS Millennium Falcon in October... even if it's £500 (and there's a good chance that it will be) it's going to end up in my mitts.

$700 in the US so whatever that equates to in rip off Britain...

Wish I'd kept my original set now instead of selling it back in 2011, sold it for $1200 (sold to someone in the states) apparently they go for $5000 now...

I had the opportunity to buy one in Bangalore Airport about 3 years ago, but decided against it as they wanted $500 for it.

Doh!

Or you could have a Far East knock off for £200

If you happen to also have an unopened Imperial Star Destroyer 10030 set knocking around, drop me a PM ;-)

Thanks for the heads-up! Looks really cool. I think I'll probably buy it. :)
