agrof Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) There is the sticker sheet beside the model - on the left (sligthly bent paper sheet), it is quite a lot unfortunately. Other than that, I am in love with this set, could be my very first house set, though I don't like the roof, it looks messy compared to the original - easy to fix. I might give a try to build it over to the boat repair shop (which is my favorite from Roben). Edited June 2, 2017 by agrof Quote
K_Tiger Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Blah, stickers. At least it looks like it's less than a dozen, and mostly newspapers, signs, and labels at that. Edited June 2, 2017 by K_Tiger Quote
Boettner Builds Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Yeah! The first ideas set with stickers!!! :( side note: TLG can't even keep a sticker sheet form getting messed up... Edited June 2, 2017 by Boettner Builds Quote
Roebuck Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 This set was a very pleasant surprise! Finally we get a set with seagulls, and they even put in 3, in addition 2 lobsters, a cat, a crab and a shoal of fish from what I can see Way to go Lego Quote
froggy95 Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 This set is incredible. The number of stickers are disappointing. It appears that at least the main sign is printed (as well as the planks... oh so many!). I sure the similarity between the lobster guy and the JAWS boat captain is pure coincidence. LOL What a coincidence lol #jaws by rivermaster83, on Flickr Quote
Blazej_Holen Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Set presentation in Billund - so planks, main sign, 1x2 tiles with fish hooks and 1x1 yellow ile with notes are printed the rest are stickers... I count 10 of them on sticker sheet Edited June 2, 2017 by Blazej_Holen Quote

Legomaster34 Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Wow, this set looks even better than I expected! With this and the Saturn V this year has been great for Ideas so far! Quote

x105Black Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Love the set. I loved the idea to begin with, and it looks great as a set. To be honest, I would build it once because it's a beautiful set that will be fun to build, then I'd scrap it for parts a month later because it's a fantastic parts pack.

May just stick with modifying my Mystery Mansion and leave that to the pros. 2. I hate stickers too, but it looks like it's only ten of them. 3. If that catches on I can see demand for Big Shark going through the roof. Quote

Then I should just reproduce the stickers you can then keep the originals mint ;) The set is a very nice parts set b.t.w. I really like those brown fences 4x2 (and the rest, great set!) Quote
Jim Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Some pictures from the official unveiling. Not the best pictures, but you might enjoy them anyway. Quote
kermit Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Am I wrong? but there seem to be no door to enter the office or ladder to access the top floor. Quote

Best pictures so far. 42 minutes ago, kermit said: Am I wrong? but there seem to be no door to enter the office or ladder to access the top floor. Theres a ladder in the image quoted above mounted above one of the window frames of the tower part. As far as how they get into the tower or out onto the balcony... Quote
kermit Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Furthermore from the video it appears that the deck above the office is not removable. It seems to be a waste of a lot of space. Any idea if it can be modded to be removable or is it meant to be like that for structural strength? Quote
Boromir Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Thanks for the pictures Jim. Good to see this set in better quality. I must say; Wow, this set looks like another must have from Ideas. I love the look of this, and the price is ok. Quote

Actually I thought that too at first glance, but there is actually 2 stud wide "hole" behind cash register. In presentation video there is clearly entrance to that small office through that hole...but it would be better if they did classic door entrance maybe from that patio around office tower... Quote
