Holy Sh*t, the west coast trio is going for over a hundred bucks! http://www.amazon.com/Puzzle-3D-West-Coa...82294810&sr=8-1&keywords=west+coast+trio

I bought mine for around 30 bucks back in 2008.

Also, Wrebbit totally stopped selling all the original puzzles, now I feel like selling mine. Damn, if I could only find the boxes.

I ordered four Cubic fun models from Toyswill in China. Only about 8-10 dollar per building but the shipping was very expensive and took a month!


These models I have made so far, the cathedral is the most advanced:

The Tower of London
Tianmen, Beijing
Bank of China, Hong Kong
St Patrick's Cathedral, New York

It's funny that they call them toys on several sites, they are actually perfect models for grown up architecture lovers!

Yeah, the prices on some of those older models have gone crazy over the years. Once certain puzzle 3D sets go out of production, they suddenly turn into collector items and the value jumps way above the original retail price.

I’ve seen the same thing with a few architecture models that were around $20–30 when they came out and now sell for three or four times that if the box is still complete. The boxes really matter for collectors unfortunately.

If you’re curious about how the market for these models evolved and the different types that exist now, there’s a pretty good overview here. Some of the newer designs are actually much sturdier than the early ones too.
