LEGO_Set_21005_Fallingwater_1_by_AndrewDBarker.jpg

Fallingwater, also known as the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence, is a house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1934 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The house was built partly over a waterfall in Bear Run at Rural Route 1 in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains.

The LEGO set contains 811 pieces.

The LEGO set is now considered "Hard To Find" on the LEGO website, as well.

It retails for 99.99$.

(As it is a collectors item it's more expensive than the regular 10? per brick that usually is associated with LEGO sets.)

I lucked out and got it for 86.99$.

I may mention, that this is one of my most wanted sets ofall> time.

To commemorate this, I've changed my wallpaper on my PC to Fallingwater as well.

I am absolutely ecstatic that I found it to have found it today.

Congrats Andrew!

So, does this mean you're going to open it, and build it? Or are you not opening it?

I'm building it right now, live on Webcam.. : http://www.ustream.tv/channel/minifigs-gaming-channel

Nice find Minifig :) I don't know much about Lego but it sounds like this is pretty hard to find so it must be a feat. Are there any other rare sets you're looking for now?

I actually have something on my christmas list (related to LEGO) that's on ebay for 49.95 plus shipping, if you're interested in helping me, let me know.

Looks like an awesome set! Will you post pics when done? :)

I will be posting pictures every 10 "set" pages.

Does buying this come with a pull-out bed to put in your parent's basement?

I live in my own house, thank you for trying to insult me though. :happy:

I would also like to refer to http://brickartist.com/, Nathan Sawaya is 36 years old, owns the largest private collection of LEGO in the world, and makes a living as a brick artist.

Next time you think people live in their parents basement because they play with toys, think before you type.

It was a joke, not an insult. Calm down. It was meant in jest.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?

      Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
