1. Questions about LEGO USS Constellation

   

   Discussion by ricecake · August 2014 · Home› Everything else LEGO

   Since I live near Baltimore where the real USS Constellation is, I thought it would be neat to get the LEGO version. I did have a couple questions though: 1. Is this model the 1854 version or the 1797 version? I have found conflicting information on whether the model is of the 1854 ship (which is the one in Baltimore) or…

   I would mention the USS Constellation ( #398 and #10021 ), but these two actually have a few small differences.

3. Re: Is there a list of sets with redesigns? If not, could Brickset do that?

   If you are including redesigns that resulted in a new set number, then in the Legends line, #10021 USS Constellation had some tweaks from the original #398 USS Constellation. I bought a used #10021 but built it based on the #398 instructions since the #10021 instructions scan wasn't the best quality and a little hard to…

   What was Amazon selling it for? I haven't seen it on Amazon for less than $398 for awhile. Please don't tell me it was matched to TRU at $359... :)

When the Hobby Set 398 was released (one year only, 1978) it was much sought after by collectors back in 2000-2002. It sold for around $400 in used condition and over $1000 in MISB. When it was re-released as part of the legends series in 2003, the original tanked...…

6. Re: Would you buy vintage sets if Lego re-released them?

   For a remake of the Yellow Castle, they could do what they did with the remake of the 398 U.S.S. Constellation (which had 16 1x1x1 yellow windows)... they could use the backside of the 1x1 headlight bricks.

7. Re: (CL) 1978 USS Constellation 398-1, $100 firm -- fair price??

@istokg is right, I'd bite his arm off at that price. Was very pleased to get a #398 with instructions and poster (but no box) for £55 last year. Go for it, so long as it actually is complete and the box is good.

8. Re: How would you feel about re-releases?

   madforlegos... I was surprised that TLG ever released the #398 U.S.S. Constellation set back in the early 2000s.... the original set was a failure (all the Hobby Sets were... unfortunately)... but to re-release a set that was a failure the first time... (need a scratching head Emoticon).

   Not exactly the same piece, but in a similar vein, I bought a used #10021 U.S.S. Constellation on eBay, but then someone else was selling the original windows from #398 U.S.S. Constellation, so I used those instead of the Brick 1x1 with 1 Knob that comes with it, and it looks a lot better. vs.

Yes agreed about missing set numbers... they were likely used for sets never put into production. With the mid-to-late 1970s (very popular today) Hobby sets... they used numbers 391-398 for the 7 Hobby sets... only 397 was never used. Still wondering what 397 would have been as a rejected Hobby set?
