How come LEGO doesn't make sets of famous landmarks?

It would be interesting if lego would produce sets of famous landmarks around the world, such as the Washington Monument, the Eiffel Tower, the Forbidden City or the Great Sphinx..etc Lego already makes tons of new sets, featuring Star Wars, Spongebob and Harry Potter, so why not start a set about famous buildings of the world?

Answer
They have a Taj Mahal set that has almost 6000 pieces. I saw it at their Lego store at a mall. Their store had some more unique sets as well as the ability to buy individual pieces of certain colors. I think it is probably that the more childish sets sell better and therefore are advertised more.

What is my Harry Potter Lego Worth?

When I was younger (and still now to some extent) I was fascinated by Harry Potter lego. I own the majority of the 1st collection which was released in 2001 and 2002 and my collection is on-going. They include the Hogwarts, the forbidden corridor, Gringotts etc, everyone but the Hogwarts Express. Unfortunately, I only have the original box for the Hogwarts castle, however, I own all the original instructions and lego in excellent condition. I even have some from the next collection including Aragon in the forbidden forest, Dobby's release and the slytherine common room. All of these of discontinued now and worth a lot more than when I bought them for. How much would you say they are worth now and will they cost even more in the future?

Were you a child in the 80's?

Hello children of the 80's. Read this, it will take you back but be careful 'cause it will also make you realise that you are now actually quite old ........ Friendship bracelets were ties that couldn't be broken. You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby". You wanted to be on "Jim'll Fix It". You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before he had plastic surgery. You wore one of those slap-on wristbands at some point...or heaven forbid one of those T-shirts that changed colour with heat (Global Hypercolour). You had slouch socks and puff painted your own shirt at least once. You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off". You were upset when She-ra, Princess of Power and He-Man got cancelled. You can remember watching Saved by the Bell You remember Madonna in her cone stage. You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince." You even wore fluorescent-neon clothing... (if you can call it clothing!) Not only did you wear fluorescent-neon clothing, but they were mismatched with fingerless gloves and toweling socks. You could break dance (ok, you wished you could) You remember when Amiga was a state of the art video game system. You remember M.C. Hammer. You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air".... You can remember when it was Jazzy Jeff and The fresh Prince and NOT just plain Will Smith! You own any cassettes. You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, ALF or ET lunchbox. You have ever pondered on why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf. My Little Pony, Gummy Bears and Transformers are familiar to you. You ever had a Swatch Watch. You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the "Care Bear stare." You believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!" You spent hours in the basement building and re- building Lego cities. Big wheels and BMX's were the way to go. With your pink (or blue) portable tape player, you sang to Kylie and Jason! If you ever owned Polly Pocket or Micro Machines. If you ever made Ken fall in love with Barbie. You know what " Psyche" means. Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away. You knew that Transformers were "more than meets the eye". You wore a banana clip at some point during your youth. You actually thought "Dirty Dancing" was a REALLY good film. You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living in space. You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair. You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish. You had to change into play clothes after school. You recorded songs off the radio with your boom box. Somehow you still know all the words to songs played on VH1's "Big 80s" Your arm was full of rubber bracelets. You wore those wide, colourful shoelaces. You still don't like going in the sea because of Jaws. You remember Now compilations that had the pig on the front cover. You never questioned why the A-Team were always imprisoned in places that had sufficient tools to build an armoured tank.

Answer
Oh god i had one of those global hypercolour T-shirts all they did was change colour round your pits and made it look like you were well sweaty, but i still thought i looked well cool at the time!! As for the big wheels on bmx's they were called mags and if you had skyway mags then you were one step closer to being cool!! I was born in 1972 but the 80's where the most important childhood years! I also remember knowing the dance moves to White lines by grand master flash and thinking i was the dogs bollocks!!
