  1. Check out this alt build for the museum: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-179615/steinekonig/library-lawyer-s-office/#details I built it and absolutely love it! Maybe it’ll make getting the museum worthwhile? :)
  2. Google defines an inn as “a pub, typically one in the country, in some cases providing accommodation”. Or “•HISTORICAL, a house providing accommodation, food, and drink, especially for travellers.” So in ye olden days it was more what you’re thinking, but also it sometimes still is today, but sometimes it’s just a pub.
  3. The ground floor, it’s basically a pub (or at least as close to one as LEGO is willing to get). I love this modular, it’s like the British version of the Detective’s Office.
  4. The only way I could see an inverted corner working, is if it were the back corner of a regular corner, if that makes sense. So the set would primarily be a standard corner, but you could turn it around so the back is facing the front, and you have an inverted corner.
  5. I think it might look good with fire brigade to the left and maybe brick bank to the right
  6. Talking about GWPs designed specifically to fit with the modulars, the flower cart GWP for detectives office had a barrel of cookies built in, it was actually part of the “smuggling” story.
  7. Assembly Square had an even earlier October reveal. Everything else has typically been around early December. My guess is the earlier reveal for these extra-large modulars is meant to give people time to adjust to the additional cost.
  8. Exactly. What we have to remember is that Lego designers not only have to make something that looks good, but they have to it make stable and buildable. MOCers have no such limitations, and can make things as flimsy and as complicated as they like for the sake of detail. I think the designer of the jazz club did a great job.
  9. I definitely understand people not loving the blue. Although I do think it makes it ‘pop’ in a way that makes sense for this kind of establishment. I think I’ll have to see it in person to know for sure whether or not I like the colour.
  10. That makes sense, and it looks like his hairpiece is the same as in the poster. A great little detail if that is the case.
  11. A lot of people thought the police station was really bland, and they strongly disliked the layout with a skinny building either side of the main building. Parisian restaurant will probably remain one of the best for several more years, as it deserves to. People thought the brick bank was too small and didn’t like the laundromat on the side. The point is these buildings really grow on you if you let them. It is true that these days they are smaller on average than they used to be, but they are also more complex and detailed, due to the wider array of pieces available. I like the jazz club and look forward to adding to my collection.
  12. I personally find the box image much more flattering than the front on view.
  13. Definitely second this^^ At this point, it would add a lot of variety to have a large, wide building taking up the whole width of the baseplate.
  14. Also the bookshop has a similar thing going on. But I don’t think there has ever being a fully stained glass window design in the front facade of a modular building till now.
