kciR Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Finally the press pictures! Thanks for them! I have to admit that I like the Pet shop quite a lot, especially the combination with the house on the upper levels, the void looks good in there. The brown-orange house looks rather plain on the inside, this one needs some modding. I'm still not sure about this set.. Ah, I missed the movie at first sight. It says that they picked elements from all the previous buildings to add to this one. That sort of explains the similarities ;) Edited May 6, 2011 by kciR Quote
kris kelvin Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 To hell with malcontents!!! It`s beautiful!!! Quote
WhiteFang Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Thank you Boney!!! I am going to watch this video with great anticipation. Love every bit of this new modular release. Wish Svelte is here to see this. Quote
tomie satoshi Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 oaaaaooh! I wanted to be first to post comment.... Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Thanks for this Bonaparte , I'll watch the video later. and just noticed the return of yellow flowers Edited May 6, 2011 by The Yellow Brick Quote
Lorentzen Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Oh dear god - this looks like an amazing set. So many details and so many new ideas. My favourite is the painter at work - cool idea Quote
Gregorovich Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks, Bonaparte! This is looking amazing. There's so many lovely details. Some people are complaint that the town house is a bit empty (which it is) but you could move the furniture from the petshop into the townhouse. That way you'd have a full house, and a petshop with a spare room. The dog is a nice surprise, as I wasn't expecting a new print at all, and the recoloured fish is brilliant. Although, one of the pictures is a little distasteful. The petshop owner is frying the tropical fish! Wish Svelte is here to see this. I feel silly asking this, but what happened to him? Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 New printed dog! I hope it will be in other sets too! Quote
HighFlyer Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) £120? WHY????? Green Grocer was £100, and this has a good 300 less pieces, and yet it costs £20 more? Edited May 6, 2011 by HighFlyer Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I want this set! I love cats and this Pet shop is amazing! Quote
Matija Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 £120? WHY????? Green Grocer was £100, and this has a good 300 less pieces, and yet it costs £20 more? GG was released... how many years ago? Prices (as well as salaries) go up, get used to it. Quote
GRogall Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) I have added HR images to my BS gallery all pictures are 2500+ pxl. Box cover link's to Gallery! the folder is now public! Edited May 7, 2011 by grogall Quote
KristofBD Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Simply stunning... I'm in dubio whether or not to buy it (it will be my first modular), but I'm afraid I might get hooked to the 'line' Quote
chaosof99 Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I've decided to get into the modular houses. I really love the high detail of them in everything I've seen so far. I just hope I'm not too late because the prices of early sets of the series such as Green Grocer and Cafe Corner are already kind of scary, reaching beyond the 500 € range. Thus I decided yesterday to order the Fire Brigade from Lego.com, before it goes out of print and the price starts to skyrocket. This set is definitely also one that will be in my house some day.

Andy D Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Simply stunning... I'm in dubio whether or not to buy it (it will be my first modular), but I'm afraid I might get hooked to the 'line' I will buy ASAP! That's what happened to me. One modular led to another and another and another. I just wanted the CC, but I now have the CC, GG, GE and the FH. Looks like I have a new LEGO collection where I was just going to have one then back to other LEGO interests, instead I have a new LEGO interest! I do not believe many can buy/build just one modular.

HighFlyer Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 GG was released... how many years ago? Prices (as well as salaries) go up, get used to it. I know, but for 2032 pieces £120 is too steep. And I would also like to point out that all Modulars with the exception of MS have been $150 in America. If 10218 is $150 in the U.S, it should be £90 - 100. Plus, with all the new city harbour sets, creator lighthouse and hill house, and still the Grand Emporium to buy, cash is scarce in my wallet Quote
Henri Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Finally, the pictures. (After a week of holidays in Rome, I could finally see them posted here today) I have to say: Chapeau for Jamie Berard again. It is amazing to see how this artist is able to come up again with a set that is appealing to adults as well as children. I can't wait get this set. (Hint: fathersday is coming up, kids....) I am very eager to get to see this set lined up with all the other modulars. Curious what will be my favourite line up...... Please post pictures of your line-ups here, I'd say. Jamie Berard, thanks again for this fabulous set, please keep them coming to us. There's plenty of idea's on this forum for a next modular. You can still make most of us happy with either a post-office or a bank, but anything from your hands in this line will do for me!! Carpe Lego ! Henri Quote
cottonwood Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I've warmed up to this set. I think it is nice that is a little shorter, and it really does give off that homey, quaint feel. I'll be getting this one for sure. Quote
Pazoozoo Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 It's lovely. It will be a fine addition to our collection! Quote
alois Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Didn't the new dog star in a documentary that was recently screened on National Geographic? I seem to recall an artist sculpting it. Quote
Brickus Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Great, can't wait till this goes on sale, a must buy for me. Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I feel half-impressed and half-bored with this, I feel the fire station had a better kitchen, though the bed is very nice and the following - toliet, telephone & paint roller are works of sheer genius. At number one is the telephone, oh, I wan't to scratch-build a stack of those. But some of the build seems up inspiring to me as parts of the building look boring, unlike the Green Grocer. Yes, there is the stair-case with bay window, but that's it ! I will say as a positive something strange, new parts....mainly the animals and one in particular already talked about today....the dog is new, but what breed is this puppy and it's a big puppy. Are we sure he can't escape from that pen. Now another negative, sorry, but I gotta say that cash register is the worst ever....it's too narrow and whats with antenna on it - register pull handle like on old school registers ? Apart from that the shop is I feel the nice part of the creation, the rest have patches of AWESOMENESS with boring bits. No I won't be buying this, but the shop design I might use in the future. Brick On everyone ! Quote
