February 3, 200817 yr The details are outstanding! *y* Yep, down to the bullet holes in the windows...
February 3, 200817 yr Yep, down to the bullet holes in the windows... Those sprue marks on the windows are horrible, a big 'boo' if LEGO continues to sell bad quality windows.
February 3, 200817 yr Woah, it's not bad quality. I think so. It is a pitty that there is a round circle (A ROUND CIRCLE, INDEED PEOPLE! :-/ ) in the window, but I don't mind it. If you look at the whole model, you just don't notice the circles on the windows. The curtains where also nice to build, but it's a shame that the second floor is the only one without interior...
February 3, 200817 yr The curtains where also nice to build, but it's a shame that the second floor is the only one without interior... Nobody on the outside will notice, that's why there's curtains. X-D Besides, the furniture would get smashed anyway when all the police-officer and fire-fighters hold their housewarming party. :-P Honestly, it's not that bad that it lacks an interior on second floor, it makes people interiorise it and thus makes it more personal. Gives some leeway for improvisation, if you catch my drift.
February 3, 200817 yr If you look at the whole model, you just don't notice the circles on the windows. Well, that was the first thing I saw when CC came out. Also the new police station. And now this. I'm just pissed that such expensive sets don't offer the quality they should. But maybe I'm just too sensitive, like others with bley... 8-|

The black skeleton legs, the little hammers and even some diverpistols as fences for the balconies, the roof and the firestairs. the interior, terriffic.
February 3, 200817 yr There are no words to describe how much I want this set. :'-) Is it by the same guy who did Cafe Corner and the Town Hall?
February 3, 200817 yr X-O Amazing new pictures!! This set i such a thing of beauty that there is no way i can call myself a lego fan if i don't buy it :-D .
February 4, 200817 yr Just had another thought - does anyone know the contents of the next BrickJournal? I was reluctant to pay for something that was free, but if it contains an exclusive on Green Grocer like Cafe Corner and Market Street then it may just tempt me. :-)
February 4, 200817 yr Here's a shot of it In the Brick I just found on brickshelf ;-) Here (The pictures huge, can't deeplink) Sorry if it's been posted, but the picture had 2 views when I saw it, so I expected not :-$ Edited February 4, 200817 yr by Brickmaster
February 4, 200817 yr The next BrickJournal will be filled with an article about the BeLUG weekend, that I know. *sweet* And now, about this marvelous set again:
February 4, 200817 yr Is it by the same guy who did Cafe Corner and the Town Hall? It's designed by Jamie Berard, who indeed did the Cafe Corner, as well as the cinema and the gas station in the new Town Plan set. Keep an eye on his interesting (if seldom updated) blog, (http://sideshowjamie.livejournal.com/), where Jamie is likely to talk about the project and the model, once it is officially released. Edited February 4, 200817 yr by paksu
February 4, 200817 yr I just updated the Town/City index and all these modular sets are in there, so I'll move this topic in that forum to keep everything in the same place ;-) And Tks Paksu for the interesting link and facts ;-) *yoda*
February 4, 200817 yr new green grocer pics found on brickshelf step by step building third floor interior second floor interior with a fire place! the back view why is that lady (?) wearing that?? the whole gallery http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=299242
February 4, 200817 yr new green grocer pics found on brickshelfstep by step building ... Aaaah - excellent. Keep them coming! *wub*
February 4, 200817 yr Aww, now this set is just too hard to keep myself from buying. And to think I've been saving up money to buy Cafe Corner, then this appears. Heh... anyways, this set looks just amazing in my opinion. Possibly even a better set than Cafe Corner. I might buy two of these, one for parts and one to build, because it looks so damn nice.
February 4, 200817 yr All very nice pictures, from Rick.... But where is the heating on the second floor, in the room where the clock is.... :'-(
February 4, 200817 yr but if you look the top of the fire place goes into the wall not straight up. plus it is plastic in the end so no harm done... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2969675 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2969676 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2969677 parts list. steel...

February 4, 200817 yr Perfect! Now all we need are some pictures of the 2nd floor! Oh, but we do have one, there's a fireplace in there and I just love those brickbuilt curtains. (The only place I really expected a sticker) :'-) second floor interior with a fire place!
February 4, 200817 yr Those brick built curtains are fantastically simple, yet look very effective, I like them. Also the fireplace looks good, but it is a shame their is nothing else on the second floor, but I suppose they had to keep the price down a bit.
February 4, 200817 yr ...but it is a shame their is nothing else on the second floor, You don't understand, that's a ballroom, it's supposed to be empty, people can dance in there! :-D
February 4, 200817 yr You don't understand, that's a ballroom, it's supposed to be empty, people can dance in there! :-D Where's the gramophone then? :-D That another great thing about Lego, you can just use your imagination and create anything!
February 4, 200817 yr I like the minor detail of the fire tool(s) clipped to the side of the fireplace. This is just such a fantastic looking set. Even the empty 2nd floor is a good size and well-proportioned for doing your own interiors.
