$100 is a lot for legos, but I really want the FallingWater one. Do want do want do want.

By my estimation, it would be about 8"x4". Not very impressive.

edit: okay the copy says it's 10" long. That's not even remotely at the same scale of lego buildings that actual lego men inhabit.

Here's the lego police station I had as a kid:

The dimensions of the baseplate are 32 pegs squared. That's twice the area of the Fallingwater model. These lego men would be gigantic in comparison!

I've ordered those, more for the wife.

once she builds it, I'm gonna get one of my old sets and get a lego version of me, the wife and 2 kids, a car, and maybe a police bike like that one ^ they're gonna live there.

I don't why, but this sounds both random and hilarious.

Legos have become more expensive and complicated than when i was a child. Building a house back then with lego wasa major thing for me but now its nothing.
