It’ll be interesting to see how it does. I personally have zero interest in spending a shit pile of money to have a massive Catholic Church in my place. I’d be willing to bet it will make more people who are interested in this sort of set decide to get something else than it will attract people who wouldn’t get this sort of set decide to get it
I can understand where you are coming from, and have a hypothetical question: If the church were to be sold to a secular organization, would that affect your interest in the Lego set?
In the future, will it be possible to appreciate churches purely for their architecture, or will they always be "tainted" in some way?
It's an interesting question. For me personally, there will always be some level of taint. But we all also have our own tolerances
So something like
net-value = value - (taintedness - tolerance)and the higher the net value, the more likely I'll buyLike, Sagrada Familia to me has an incredible value because of how crazy the architecture is and how crazy it would be as a lego build. Still has a decent amount of taintedness cause catholic and my tolerance for catholic stuff is low.
But U.S. Air Force Academy Chapel in CO is a dope looking building so a high value. It does have catholic chapels but also has many different other chapels, which I think overall reduces the taintedness over a straight up catholic churches.
