architect series White House

[ricefields]

I did a search on the site and could not find if anyone posted the upcoming architect series set White House and I could not find a suitable place to put this so its in the finds/deals. I just found out about this set by landing on the following ebay auction

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Lego-White-House-21006-Mint-Signed-Architecture-Tucker-/280525074070?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415098ee96

obviously I have been in the dark as its old news on brickset and eurobricks but should be here in fbtb too!
http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42677

Will be released in August along with the rest of summer sets so will wait to pay $70-80 us retail at that time.

I bet this set will be hot as a gift set come fall / christmas (just like the rest of series were hot before christmas 2009).

I was at the Lego store today, where they had 4 of the architecture models built---including the White House. I agree, it was very attractive.

Wow, disappointing. The front is rounded but the model is rectangular?

The photos on Eurobricks do include a rounded front shot -- which is the opposite side of the building. I think LEGO are showing the less-iconic side on the front of the box (which doesn't seem wise).

Wow the guy is selling his autographed copy for $350!
At Brickworld the kit was for sale for $55 and Adam Tucker was signing them for free.

I'm not at all surprised at how people can take advantage of certain situations. I only regret not buying an autographed copy of the set at Brickworld for my own collection.

Actually it looks like this was an auction, so he didn't set the price.$350 was the highest bid.
