This is really great. The talent you guys have never ceases to amaze.

Do they only give you the $5 once you get the 100 points only? I actually should probably be up to 10 Points now then: - $159 for DO - $149 for PC Thats $308, so that should be a total of 15 points correct?

How exactly does VIP points work? I always thought it was 1% of your total purchase. However, when I ordered the Detectives Office I got 5 VIP points (equivalent to $5), then when I ordered Palace Cinema I got another 5 VIP Points. I figured I would only get like 1.5 VIP points. So could someone explain this?

I just think if some one stays in the boundaries of a modular building LEGO does, it will get made. You cannot expect to make a 3000 or 4000 piece set and have LEGO sell it. It just doesn't make financial business sense to do that. Build something original, have some unique new build technique, throw in some new architectural components and keep the set under 1600 pieces, and you will have a shot at getting made.

Really good points. I forgot about the Parisian Restaurant. I haven't gotten around to buying it yet since I was trying to catch up on the older ones (FB, TH, GE). As for a corner unit, I think if they wanted to, they can still do a business on the ground floor and apartments on the second and third floors. I see that in NYC all the time. The question is, how did the 1950ish era the Modular's are going for handled that? That would work actually pretty well.

I don't know how popular of an opinion this is, but I think we need the next set to be something like the Petshop again. For a proper lego town, I think we need more townhouses in the Modular sets. At the moment, we have only 2 sets for a residence. GG and PS. That doesn't make much sense, especially with us having a movie theater, a mall, a town hall, a hotel, a street market, a french restaurant, a detectives office, barber shop, pool hall, pet shop, fire station and a grocery store. I mean that is a lot of commerce for a total of 3 or 4 apartments across the board. I have been thinking of getting more petshops for this, but at the end of the day, I like having different sets. Which actually makes me want another set like the pet shop for the next modular. This has also given me a SEVERE itch for the GG. But that is one expensive itch to scratch. VERY EXPENSIVE. At the going rate, I could build a Petshop neighborhood at that price!

Me and my son are building the Petshop now. After building that the only thing I wish they did with this set is build it on 2 16 stud plates like they did there. Other then that, since this build we also did the Grand Emporium and the Petshop. This build is the best. The way they tell the story is brilliant and works really well with the time one gives to the build. I hope Lego continues to tell little stories per room in the future modular buildings they do. It adds more to the build experience. Just makes it whole in my opinion.

Well if I had your skill set, what I would do is an elevated Train, just like here: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=108396 That should also solve some of the space issue. Since your going up. Now, I would replace the Grand Emporium here, with a corner trainstation. From that, I would use your open concept so that you can look down into the actual train station. I am not sure if you were ever at Grand Central Station in NYC, but it is on a corner, and it goes down stairs and opens up beautifully. I always thought Grand Central Station would be a beautiful Modular. In this picturem those stairs are coming from the main street level. Corner view:
