BuckeyeFanDan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 On the new pictures, the box shows that is has 2,196 pieces, so right around the same as GE, FB and PS. Based on that piece count I would guess a price of $149.99. Hopefully a release date and confirmed price will be out soon. Also, after looking at the pictures, I am disappointed that there aren't more seats in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos_Eisley Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 According to Hoth Bricks, TLG will be unveiling a new exclusive set this Friday, January 18th. I always like to see new stuff. There are already official pictures around of the Palace Cinema, so I wouldn't think it would just be announcing that one. http://www.hothbricks.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Unfortunately, I bet that this is exactly what they are talking about. My hopes are for the next UCS Star Wars set, but my bet is that they are just officially showing off the Palace Cinema, hope I'm wrong.

Rich B Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm curious to see what this will be, hopefully something new, and not the Palace Cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh kind of a bummer, oh well......I'm curious to see what the RRP will be on this set, $150? $180? I guess we'll all know fairly soon.

I'm guessing (and hoping) that, from the piece count and comparison of the price range for the other modulars, it will be at the $150 mark.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I think it would be a little over priced at the $180 mark......I'd still pay $180 for it though as I love the modular theme!

I agree, from what I have seen in size comparisons, it will be at the $150 mark. Hopefully the lame limo doesn't drive the price up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, from what I have seen in size comparisons, it will be at the $150 mark. Hopefully the lame limo doesn't drive the price up. The limo does seem lame from the pictures I've seen. I wish the limo was a black version of the white limo from set 3222, even though it wouldn't match the old city style and the era of the Palace Cinema, it would still look great to have a new style limo pulled up out front, and since they already made a white one a couple years ago in set 3222 a similar new style black limo would have looked great pulled up in front of the Cinema. If this set came with a new style limo I'd have no problem paying close to $200 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The IJ Shanghai Chase cars were better than this limo, and they would be the same time period. I don't mind the period theme with the buildings and cars, but it looks like the designers' child put that part of the set together. I am not much of a MOC'er, but I will try to change some things about this set on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not much of a MOC'er, but I will try to change some things about this set on the inside. Very true! I personally like the style of the old buildings but with more modern day vehicles driving in front of them, especially since almost all of the city/town sets Lego offers are more modern day vehicles like the Garbage Truck and the Cement Mixer, etc. I wasn't a big fan of the old fashion fire truck in the FB set and therefore switched it out for one of the more modern fire truck's (I took the ladder truck from set 7239 and took of the raft and trailer that it pulls behind it. The truck fits into the garage of the FB without altering anything and looks much better backed in than the old fashion truck does IMO). I will have to buy set 3222 once I get Palace Cinema and switch the limo's out probably because like you said Huskers, it looks like a child designed that limo.

BuckeyeFanDan Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 TLG has announced that this is being released in March at a price of $149.99. The bigger question is whether or not GE and/or FB stick around after that. I still need to pick up FB and am trying to decide how long I can afford to wait.

I thought I had just finished my town. I have Emporium, Fire Brigade, Town Hall and Pet Shop. Just started buying more sets for investment. Hope to see my brickfolio expand!!

Also don't forget you still need the first 3 modulars: Cafe Corner, Market Street, and Green Grocer, but expect to pay $2,500+ total for new sealed copies of these 3 sets.

cobi Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Funny you say this. I wanted cafe Corner and Green Grocer so bad before I bought Emporium and Brigade. The prices were crazy. That's why I decided to start with Baby Steps! Maybe it will all work out for me in the end. Got to make some money so I can spend!! Buying current modulars now, so I can hopefully be were all these investors are in about 3 years. Nothing is a given! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbs Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've just started collecting the modulars, I think they look awesome when you combine them together, I just bought the fire brigade as my first set, I don't think I'll ever get the EOL ones, just to expensive for my budget, unless I somehow become incredibly wealthy. So gonna try and save for the current ones before they go EOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So gonna try and save for the current ones before they go EOL. I hear ya. I am doing the same thing. If you look close at the EOL ones, the currents one have a lot of the same pieces and look. All depends on what you are looking for. I have four of the newes ones. (Town Hall, Emporium, Pet Shop and Brigade). They look great.

TheOrcKing Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 The more I look at this set, the more I like it! My only negative, outside of the printed star tiles, I see lots of stickers...... Besides that, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
