This is what the 1st Dr Who set should have been. Really well done!

This is simply amazing and an incredible work of passion.

This is the wife. I love the mini head flower pot. At least I didn't use a mean guy's head. :) Who doesn't love smiley faces? HA! I actually forgot I did that. Now I like it even more!!!

Funny. You know, after each one of the guys got a girlfriend, the girls started ditching the guys a lot more often to hang out together and drink wine.

Yeah, it bothers me a little that my wife came up with that. I agree, at least in the size dimensions, but we have other buildings in our Lego Town that are as large or larger. We think that it provides a mix of building sizes more like a real city. We also had a spare Petshop kit that was just asking to be used. We really pondered this one, but there was so much furniture in the Big Bank kit, especially wall shelving, that it really left us no options without eliminating some of the Big Bang pieces which we really liked. We found it more fun to build bathrooms and kitchens than bedrooms.

Thanks for the encouraging words, folks. BadBob, I mentioned the lack of bedrooms in my first post. Really no room to do it right, so we didn't.

Hi folks, Haven't been around for a while, but my wife and I just had a lot of fun modding the Petshop Modular to include the Big Bang Theory set. We did the vast majority of the modding to the apartment side of the modular making it much larger. To keep within the standard depth of the modulars, neither Penny's nor Sheldon's apartments have any bedrooms as we couldn't make it work. They did each get a kitchen and a bathroom, though. We thought they were much more important than a place to sleep. We also took a lot of liberties with the color schemes on the interiors, but it all seems to work for us. Anyway, here's the pics and we hope you enjoy them. Exterior 2nd Floor - Penny's Apartment 1st Floor - Sheldon's Apartment

That's just rude.

Yep. Confirmed. Double bonus!

Received today for my wife's b-day, the Friends' Grand Hotel and the Big Bang Theory set. Got the little free pirates set and the free City astronaut rover.

Most of muy orders were invoiced and shipped within a couple of days, but I've had a few that took a week to invoice and then another few days to ship. I've received all of my orders and just needed to exercise some patience.

Another "Well done"! The tree is absolutely brilliant, too.

Outstanding!!!! I want one.

Great build with really nice details and techniques. Inspirational.

I decided that the entryway needed some work as it was a bit boring.

Finally got around to start building the Evil Lair Corporate Building. Just finished the ground floor. I had to change a few things from the LDD design. 4x5 windows are no longer available so I had to use multiples. I initially tried the standard 4x6 windows, but it wasn't going to work with the level of the front entry. As per a suggestion here, I added one brick of height to the walls. The trans-green bricks for the receptionist's counter were unavailable, so I went with trans clear. Also, the tan chairs are nowhere to be found, so I had to use reddish brown in the board room. Finally, the doors on the bathrooms were no longer available either. I'm currently putting together the order for the second floor which will hold the Melting Room set. The building is on 1 1/2 plates, so 32x48 studs. Here's some pics:

As did Chubbs and others, I just got my shipping notice on two HE trains at the sale price I ordered via phone. These are just about gone so if you're on the fence, don't wait.

Mike & Eric, Thanks for the replies on the flex track. Looks like a simple enough fix and it will give me more flexibility. You guys are awesome!

Just received my plastic track today. Assembled 1/2 straights, full straights, double straights, R56 curves and R72 curves - all quality stuff. Gotta go play now ... EDIT: I just discovered one thing. Unless I'm missing something, the ME track will not mate with the LEGO Flex Track. I use a few of these pieces to make "ends meet" so to speak, so I guess I need to make sure that the Flex pieces are used only with the LEGO track. Didn't expect that.

Thanks, Eric! I appreciate the follow-up.

Eric, A follow up request. I got a Pre-Shipping notice on the 2nd (Jim Cole, Flagstaff, AZ), but there have been no updates to the tracking number at the USPS. I would have expected this package to have made it to the PO by now. If not, that's OK, I just want to make sure it wasn't lost in the shuffle.

Got my pre-shipping notice via the USPS this morning!!!

DO now available on the US site.

Congrats Mike & Eric on a very successful launch. Well done! That's an amazing amount of plastic and metal.

Bummer, no new train.
