BirdOPrey5 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 $10 more expensive than the DO for a yet smaller modular- when the DO was $10 more expensive and smaller as well. The trend is clear. Quote
nikhkin Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 When they announced the DO last year did they announce the poly bag cart at the same time? I don't think so. I'm sure it had been a while before hand because when I saw the poly bag information my first thought was that I could put it with the DO Quote
BirdOPrey5 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 No, not more. All that is already at Brickset and was posted earlier. \ Yes sorry about that my posts were moved into this thread by the forum staff, in the thread I originally posted in there was no other info before it. Quote
nikhkin Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 $10 more expensive than the DO for a yet smaller modular- when the DO was $10 more expensive and smaller as well. The trend is clear. Actually it is £12 cheaper in the UK and the same price in Europe, so it doesn't seem that trend is the case everywhere. Seems to just be America and Canada (where it is $20 more) Quote
Jern92 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I don't think so. I'm sure it had been a while before hand because when I saw the poly bag information my first thought was that I could put it with the DO I wonder what the accompanying polybag would be. Guess I'll have to purchase it from Shop@Home to get it Quote
BirdOPrey5 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 http://i.imgur.com/AFF6wDV.jpg Looks like there isn't even a full wall between the bank and laundromat.... Quote
Cammo Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 This may be my first Modular building. A nice display piece for all my super heroes and villains minifigures. Quote
peter_m Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 http://i.imgur.com/AFF6wDV.jpg Looks like there isn't even a full wall between the bank and laundromat.... I hate when they do that... Quote
Vodnik Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 $10 more expensive than the DO for a yet smaller modular BB has 118 more bricks than DO. And it is certainly NOT smaller. http://i.imgur.com/AFF6wDV.jpg Looks like there isn't even a full wall between the bank and laundromat.... People were complaining about the DO that there was not enough space to reach with an adult hand into some rooms. This is the solution in the BB to be able to access the laundromat room. Quote
noreha Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 It is growing on me, I'll buy it, but I doubt I'll feel the need to do so as soon as it is released, unless it is on special somewhere... Trying to work out what the price will be here in AU$, thinking about $250 - $280... Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Goodness we are swamped with news and images today eh ? And now this, OMG it's fantastic, awesome, wonderful, yeah I'll buy it ! I noticed a flow on from the DO I feel do you ? Quote
kevkipo Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Is that a new stamp piece? nice addition for the collectors! Quote
Kristel Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I think it's beautiful, and can't wait to get it! Quote
Redhead1982 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I don't remember the last time I was this excited over a set release. I like the style, the colours, parts selection, and I know I want it for sure (at least one, that is). There's also lots of intersting parts, like the sand green windows, the semi round windows, some new triangular tiles in the loby. http://i.imgur.com/AFF6wDV.jpg Looks like there isn't even a full wall between the bank and laundromat.... There is a full wall. The height is lower, but that's common with modular buildings, as it's hard to make it the same height because of the floor above. Also, access is much easier this way. And if the height is too much of a problem, it's easy to build it up. Quote
Poisso3 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 This will make a lovely addition to my city! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I see when you wash your clothes there end up in the bank vault, as they always do hence you know now where those odd socks disappear to ! Note the bank manager is waving a letter, so perhaps a clue to the next one......but it's way too early right ? Quote
Cammo Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 It sure delivers a certain 'Gothamvibe'. Too bad I don't really have any space to put this thing. Quote
Gongoro73 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 BTW, I think it's about time that TLG comes with a new clock design. There're countless examples of the same clock (and time) over and over and over... Quote
KristofBD Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Super! The set looks great, love all the detail and the tongue in cheek money laundering. Lots of nice building techniques it seems. VEr y much looking forward to this one! Quote
Agent 86 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I like it, but I don't love it. I probably would have sacrificed the laundromat to make the bank a bit grander. I'm guessing it's there for story purposes, but the style of the laundromat clashes a little bit too much with the style of the bank for me. I'm also a little disappointed that there isn't a third floor or any residential space, but that was probably expecting too much from a bank! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 BTW, I think it's about time that TLG comes with a new clock design. There're countless examples of the same clock (and time) over and over and over... Though you can position it in four different positions ? But point noted it would be better with a different looking clock. Quote
Khorne Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Like all of the other Modular Buildings, this one looks stunning. Lots of great building techniques. I don't have any of the other sets, though, so I'll probably not get this one either. The price is a bit too much for me to shell out at once on one set. The use of Nexo Knights shields for floor pattering in the bank, while NPU, looks kind of weird to me though... Quote
Captain Nemo Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Ooooo! This is so nice. I'm really going to have to consider buying it. One of these building has to end up being my first Modular someday--an I hope it's this one. I'll also have to snag DO then...so he can solve to crimes! The Camerawoman is the theif--shocking twist!

Gongoro73 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Though you can position it in four different positions ? But point noted it would be better with a different looking clock. Of course, but that makes only four. A new one would give us at least 8 options. But the important thing it's not the time really, but the design. Or, at least, a colour change. This would have look better in black with gold printing, for example. Quote

I agree, and also being say either 3 or 4 stud in diameter. But that's drifting off course though now that letter is the same letter that is in the wall safe/hiding place in the DO.......some wider story coming ? Quote
