Hi guys, pretty new to Brickpickers and this is my first post. I recently finished building all my modulars (TH, PS, PC, DO, BB, PR, GE, and Fb) and I just finished BrickLinking Cafe Corner. I must

Seen the picture of it. It's going to be more popular than the Downtown Diner in my estimate! Three story corner building with a gas-station in the centre and a garage / car-working place on the

Still have to buy this one for my own collection. Maybe a X-mas gift for me, myself and I? Curious about your findings Neo. Let us know!

Well, I can already tell you 1 thing.... it's small lol

 

My reviews are still pending so probably be a while before they're published.

Your definition of "night" does not accord with mine.

Is it really that small? Still haven't build even one :-( Won't start until end 2015/beginning 2016 due to space and time issues. (Because I'm the Doctor).

 

Looking forward to read your review though ;) Seeing it build in some LEGO Stores I must say that I really liked it compared to others. The overall design is pretty neat.

Night is when both my 7 month old and girlfriend are in dreamland. Then its daddy's time :)

I have no idea if it is really that small. Just going on what Biniou said. I'll have a more thorough view of it this weekend.

At first sight indeed, it looks rather nice. Better make some room then so you can continue with your reviews too.

I see.

Making some room won't be possible till early 2016 because I'll have to go places '****** stuff.

The only point which can disappoint you is that it's quite small. But small is cute !

 

(giggity)

Sometimes size does matter... Didn't feel so ecstatic about it. Greet roof though. The tiled Chez part annoyed me as did the curtains. Good set but I prefer Town hall :)

Hej guys,

 

I'm considering of buying 2 or 3 PR's online from a large retailer. Can anyone tell me how much of these are in a factory case? I thought it was 2.. but I'm not sure. I would like to know this, so I can increase my odds of getting the PR's shipped in the factory case (so buying 2 or 3 of them).

 

Thank you in advance!

I know this: TLG has made a boatload of money with the TH retiring early. Sales for PC have gone crazy (can't stay in stock at Amazon or other retailers online) because some of us have worried about PC's possible early exit.

 

I'm calling it the TH effect.

Favourite: Green Grocer (runner up pet shop)

Worst: Town Hall (runner up palace cinema) 

Why do so many people dislike market street. I was totally happy when I got it, I think its the best $90 (for the exception of 10177 maybe 10193) I've ever spent on lego definitely not my favourite modular but still it was a nice set.

I own a fair amount of sets, only built 1 VW Camper Van which I really enjoyed. I have to say if i was starting again I'd buy solely Creator Modulars. I'd love to build Pet Shop, Detective's Office and especially Parisian Cafe. Wish I hadn't missed the others in the series, had chance to buy Emporium, Town Hall & Fire Station. No way would I pay over the odds for the rest.

Is it really around that time? I don't know for sure but wasn't the DO announced around October last year, then to come out Jan 1st? I would love a modular announcement but don't feel like we would get one normally until the fall.

I have the opportunity to buy a brand new NISB Palace Cinema AND Pet Shop for $270 total. Should I buy that, or two Pet Shops for the same price at $270. I'm not sure...

This entirely depends on your tax rate and goals.  This is a good price, but only 10% off. You can buy PC/PS from Target with RC and/or discounted GC and be ahead of that or you can buy from LEGO Shop at Home with promos and be ahead.  I say it's a good buy (either scenario) if you intend to buy a lot because you can't get them all from Lego or if you pay tax.

I live in NY, so tax will be an obvious bump! I am just deciding if it is wise to buy 2 Pet Shops and risk it with only Pet Shops, or mix it up and buy a Palace Cinema and a Pet Shop.

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot but not sure where to ask it...

Isn't this the time of year when they normally announce the new modular?  

(Hopefully it's not as bad as the Winter village announcement.)
