LEGO 40583 Houses of the World 1 - South America Limited Edition Tribute to South American Architecture and Culture 12+ 348 Pieces

Product Information

This gets…messy. Scientifically, Central America is defined as the region connecting Mexico to Colombia, because it sits on its own continental plate. The UN definition lumps Mexico in with them, and another definition for “middle America” carves off Colombia and Venezuela from South America. South of the US, most people just use the very Eurocentric Olympics definition of the Americas as a single continent. Within Central America, there are five nations that are former members of the Federal Republic of Central America, who consider that to be one distinct definition, while also counting all seven nations under a different definition. One definition even rolls the Antilles in (and the Dominican Republic is even part of a Central American EU-like alliance). So, Encanto, being set in Colombia, could be included in Central America by one of these definitions, and there’s probably enough cultural overlap with parts of Central America that you’d find similar housing styles throughout. Except for the color scheme, it looks architecturally similar to the Spanish Mission style that extends all the way up into the SW United States.

We called yesterday again after the event and it turns out it was quite a different story. Not many people showed up, everyone got it signed and they were left with lots of unsold sets they said. In my opinion they messed up as I'm sure they scared off many customer with their predictions. When UCS MF2 launched, my LEGO Store's late manager had to practically beg them for a dozen copies. Corporate was convinced it was so expensive that he'd still be selling them down past New Year's, but he actually had at least 20 people who stayed in line until the store opened (several others walked away when they realized they weren't going to make the cut). And what happened? Sales were so brisk during the VIP access period that they didn't have any left come time for the wide launch. Voorhees Hall, which is the third oldest building on Hope campus, and I assume fairly traditional Dutch architecture from the time. Maximum outside temperature below 100°C, no flames or splinters escaping in the event of an accident.I agree with other people that LEGO is trying to push the limit of becoming I profitable again; like the early 2000’s ? Be inspired by different cultures as you build the first in a collection of LEGO® Houses of the World. In tribute to the buildings of South America, this house (40583) features distinctive architectural details. The theme continues inside with South American interior decor. The modular design means this house can be combined with others from the collection (40590, 40594 and 40599) – each available separately.

And while parts quality has noticeably increased over the years with most of the important alternative brands, LEGO's has from my experience declined as described. To me that's a clear decline in quality again, and one that seems totally unnecessary since LEGO had already proven that they can do better. LEGO ?….

I was sure you were going to answer like that. This makes sense from producers perspective. But it absolutely makes no sense from buyer perspective. Especially about a thing that one buys for fun and not out of necessity. Getting more for the same amount of money in specific time frame is economically a free bonus. Even though this bonus has a value and cost. But you, as a buyer, did not 'sacrifice' anything to get this bonus."
