One of the Modular thing, if you use the pins or not. Quote

I know there are other recolours, but I didn't expect the flower part in dark green - or is this normal green? And is the green circled one an existing part? I don't know any part that looks like this (especially the top stud). *snip* Unless you have a friend in UK who can forward it, no. I was thinking of obtaining some super-cheap plane tickets and just going there myself. Sometimes you can get budget tickets for like 20, 30 € if your time is flexible. The largest LEGO store in the world is about to open in London. You would likely spend the difference in price anyway, but at least you had an adventure and can have a go at the pick-a-brick wall Edited October 23, 2016 by Sven F Quote

Yeah :( A good reason to enjoy London and visit the new Lego store on Leicester square. OT: I wonder if the Leicester square store will have a price mark-up like the Manhattan stores do. Hope not!

None of the other London stores do. It had better not, since I'm heading up to London for it. I don't want to waste my train fair just to find out it'll cost extra. Quote
mikes_bricks Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Decided to split mine into 3 separate buildings. Please excuse my pro "ms paint" skills. Quote

AFOLguy1970 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 In order to separate the set into three distinct buildings, you would have to switch the baseplates, redo the tiles, and remove/replace the arches on the building to the left. To get the two on the right separate, it is going to be even more challenging, because the buildings share a wall. That means you need to gather the parts to build a whole new wall for one of the buildings. I am honestly a little surprised that Assembly Square was designed this way rather than to take the "Pet Shop" approach and have three buildings that could be rearranged as the builder wishes. That was one of the first rumors to come out and a lot of people expressed hope that we would get another set like that. Quote
gotoAndLego Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Tiles are easy because its just dark bley there. There is a single arch connecting the two sides, also easy to do. Quote

Personally, I modify and change all of my modulars anyway, so i don't mind doing that. Even my GG is slightly different from the norm. I split my DO into two buildings. had to order a bunch of new bricks etc. its just part of the fun. Edited October 27, 2016 by mikes_bricks wtf am i doing.... Quote

That's what I was hoping it would be too, from some of the rumors that I read on the forum. Giving us the option to place and move them around other modulars. Quote

I would imagine it relates in some way to local VAT or shipping costs to different countries. There must be a justification somewhere, companies don't tend to just randomly assign prices without purpose. Quote

Dazz Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 4 minutes ago, sebitsena said: German VAT is quite the same with France. We have to look somewhere else ^^ I could imagine the reason being the fierce competition between retailers in Germany. Maybe TLG fears that higher MSRPs could lead to permanent discounts on more sets which might not be in TLG's interest. Quote
Rick Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 This thread is going too far off-topic. The discussion about differences in pricing between countries is not something that applies exclusively to modular buildings. If you'd like to discuss pricing differences, I'm sure there's a thread in the General discussion forum of the Embassy forum. Quote
lomis Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Here's my "interpretation" of the set for LEGO Digital Designer: You can download the LXF file if you're interested. Obviously, there is a lot that is wrong as some parts aren't available, there were collision errors in some cases, and many image angles of the set simply weren't available. Also, I didn't include the figures. Please, let me know if you find this useful. Edited October 28, 2016 by lomis fixed a typo Quote

lomis Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 ...and here it is with one extra floor on each building: ...and next to the past two modulars - 10246 - Detective's Office and 10251 - Brick Bank: Quote
