eliminator Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I like it despite not being what I expected; sorta goes with the DD. Will buy one with VIP points in early 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudoty Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 27 minutes ago, CosmicSpeed said: I believe this is the "Nougat" color? Its pretty new and it probably made Lego-sense to use this for a building when they were manufacturing the brick selection. Its a pretty large "hair" color for BHz. I don't mind the color, but I can see this as being a one off that a lot of non-modular collectors go with because of the theme. I wasn't sure about the dark orange and figured I would wait to see it in person. Then I read your post and looked at my Black Widow BHZ and yuck that is one ugly color.

Yes, and the corner deli where I think it contrasts well with the light blue but not sure how it will look with sand blue and green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redghostx Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I think I like it, but I need to see it in person. The truth is that I need one anyway whether I like it or not, the question is whether I need to build an additional floor or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lodibricks Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 When I first glanced, I was excited hoping it would work best as an inverted corner. I can't think of the proper term. ha It's set back a bit, but I suppose it'd still be blocked and cramped by the adjacent buildings (especially the garage door).

jimmajenga Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I love it! I love the Garage and the openness. Lots of great details inside as well. This set works on so many levels and appeals to many different Lego fans! Not sure why people are complaining about the colour. I like it a lot!

There are plenty of LEGO cars out there. It would have been nice for that money to include one that was the proper proportion to the set.

Well I was impressed with the design I was thrown off by the price comparing the piece count to other modulars of similar count and ~$160 price tag. ?

I've bought those kinds of sets before, and I think it's not that bad of a price, really. I would like to get it a little cheaper, around $95-$105 or cheaper! I love how it looks, the detail, the color, and the mini-figures! Here's one of my favorite sets that I own!

fuzzy_bricks Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 From the pictures it appears that they went with the old modular box size on this. I suppose when you have a price increase and you're asking $200 you need increase the "value" somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
