I guess they just couldn't fit "Jamie's Restaurant" on the front in 32 studs or less so they had to simplify it to "Diner" (though the front door says "Jim's" .. I guess Tim's might have been a shade too close to Tom's). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayxlp Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 .. if its not a wrapped paper (or something).. to me it looks like its about to fall apart - or suffered from some earthquake.. hard to believe that this was intentional .hmmm..

Pseudoty Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I think this may be a fake or this will be a change to the Modular line as the minifigs have regular faces unlike all of the previous sets in this line. Perhaps they are starting a new trend for the next 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordoflego Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Really nice. If I wasn't a pure reseller scum, modulars would be the way to go for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Brickset are now listing it as a diner so we may have to go with it being legit. If it´s a Jan 1st launch, we should be getting official info in the last week of November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I just found the leaked pic. Did anyone check the modular skyline down there? It shows all modulars and the retired ones are greyed out.The palace cinema is already greyed out AND THE BRICK BANK! Anyone recognized that or am I blind? Maybe a surprise retirement?Any thoughts?Greetings, Infi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings, Infi Or the Brick Bank is already grey and white. Looks like they tore the page out of whatever catalog and crumpled it up in order to smuggle it out of wherever they were.

I'm going with HockeyWeasel - if you look closely you see hints of color on the ground floor canopies, and the white of the second floor is brighter than the shades of white in the greyed out buildings. Not that I would mind a surprise early retirement now that I've got my copy of BB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering because it will fit to the -20% off at Lego LEGO Shop at Home during the 23-27th Brick Friday celebration in Europe. They will get rid of many 10251 Brick Banks during that promo.

Hard to be exactly sure on the width of the building since I can't see where it ends on right but it's only about 24-26 studs wide from I can see. Also the corner white plates above the window look like they wrap around the corner to possibly a similar window section on the side. At first I thought it looked like a corner building, but looking at it a bit closer I think it's more like an alley with stairs a bit further back.

Yeah it I saw the stairs down the alley, but since they haven't done an alley before on an individual modular, I wasn't too sure about that. Maybe that's how you get to the upper floors on this one. It looks like there are decorations on the alley side of the upper walls (you can see stuff sticking out a bit from the corner) so maybe a new type of style.

mtchrs Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 And the January freebie looks great. Day 1 purchase for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_chaos Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I do like it, but I don't think that it's what they should have released now. Parisian Restaurant is still on sale, and in many ways is very similar to this, so 2 of the 5 modulars on sale will be non-corner eating establishments, with steps on the side, and residential stuff above.

If you look closely, you can defenitly see that the diner is a corner set ...

marcandre Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 That promo set looks great. I like everything on the modular except the Diner sign. Looks like a kid made it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintonjoseph Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Agree. I really like the set, but I think it would look a lot better without the huge DINER sign. Probably will look better in person though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
