TM2 Dinobot Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I got this randomly in the mail. When I google the randomly big number of 4000007 I'm not finding out much. The only info I got was that it was for a one time tour of Ole Kirk's house. Anyone else have more info than that? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Isn't that the set you get as a gift for going on the $2000(?) inside tour? And isn't it like CRAZY rare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/LIT2009_Ole_Kirk's_House_LEGO_Inside_Tour If the site is to be believed, only 32 numbered sets were made. EDIT: Comparing it with this site, it looks like yours in an unnumbered set. Edited December 14, 2012 by boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/LIT2009_Ole_Kirk's_House_LEGO_Inside_Tour If the site is to be believed, only 32 numbered sets were made. Thats what I kept finding too, but the set number seems to be different on those ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The house that the founder of Lego lived in: Looks like there was a limited numbered edition of 32 signed sets released as a giveaway in 2009, but this obviously isn't one of them. There is only one matching the one you posted on eBay, currently at $91.00, so it appears to be a pretty rare piece. How did this arrive "randomly in the mail"?

boyd Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 How did this arrive "randomly in the mail"? That's my question as well. Because I would like to sign up for these kind of mailings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Yeah, the thing that kept throwing me was the un-numbered. I could find info on the 32 sets, but there's mine, and one on ebay, and I'm just wondering if these are as rare or what. You'd think Lego would tell me these things. But no. Now I don't know wether to open it, sell it or trade it. Think I could get a Gold AND Silver Spderman out of it? 0-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Not from me. :biggrin: EDIT: If the eBay auction details are to be believed, and one sold for $4,000+, then you can easily get a Gold/Silver.

karamazov80 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just worthless junk. Best if you just send it to me, so I can, uh, give it away to charity or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdyCarter Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 LIT2009 = Muchos $ 4000007 = This years employee gift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamfleet Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Did lego decide to produce more of these and send them out randomly? That's really strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I love Lego, but the idea of collecting sets never crossed my mind as a kid. I always mixed all my bricks up together in a big reg Lego suitcase. I kept set instructions, but neer boxes and certainly not unopened boxes.

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 LIT2009 = Muchos $ 4000007 = This years employee gift? Oh. Doy. Thanks Ady. You win the most helpful comment award. Man, why didn't I think of that? I'm doing some part time work for Lego. Apparently this is one of the perks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, why didn't I think of that? I'm doing some part time work for Lego. Apparently this is one of the perks. That's awesome! What kind of stuff are you doing for them if you don't mind me asking? I'd love to work for LEGO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I keep trying to see when the local LEGO store here is hiring. I applied once but apparently didn't make the cut even considering my 10+ years of retail experience and LOVE the product (sorry....still kinda grumpy about it....) But yeah, hell of a perk!

Zak Katz Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I know how you feel Jason, I applied to my local TRU and didn't get it. I find it funny that when I go in there I end up helping people with their questions, no one that works there has any idea what anything is. I just assume it may be a requirement to have some knowledge over their products in order to work there, I guess I'm still upset about it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 One of the major requirements of becoming a Lego employee is to be a stud having the right build & being able to withstand a good kick in the blocks . -blockheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assume it may be a requirement to have some knowledge over their products in order to work there, I guess I'm still upset about it too I've only been to the mall that store is in a few times (simply because it is a pain to even get into the place and it's a bit of a drive), but the times I was there, I did get a sense of the employees not truly knowing the product all that well. Now I have been to the one in Disneyland and those folks are on the ball! So it makes me wonder what they are looking for when a person with 10+ years of retail experience and knowledge of the product doesn't get chosen for the job. 0_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 So I'll ask while I'm here. Does anyone want this? Mom ended up in the hospital and needs to cash, so I was thinking $500 shipped. Seems to be the going price on ebay. Just thought I'd offer it here first.
