RoryoCox Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the picture, Whung. I was really excited about this set but it is a bit dissapointing. I looks a bit small and the colours are not that great. It could just be that picture but it is a little bit of a let down. What does everyone else think? The details on the towers are nice and the suspension is decent. Edited July 21, 2010 by Burman Quote
Superkalle Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Holy macaroni! Thanks for the pics Whung. Fantastic!!! Is that a little microscale London double-decker I see there? Quote
Athos Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Looks very nice. I'll probably have to pass, since such a large set is not in my budget with all the other cool stuff coming out. I'd like to see all these sets displayed together. Steve Quote
BrickClick Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 This looks really good! Can anyone spot the bicycle that it said was included in the set? Thanks for the great picture Whung! Quote
prateek Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Nice. the colours are weird, but I like the mini vehicles. Quote
SpiderSpaceman Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 What does everyone else think? Oh I dunno dude. I think it's gorgeous. I'm excited. I haven't picked up any of the landmark sets yet (taj mahal, eiffel, lady liberty) but I'm definitely looking to get this one. and on that note, definitely better than the eiffel tower model in my opinion.

Jasper Joppe Geers Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Hmmm.... I think i'll wait for some better pics. many thanks anyway for this one!!! Quote
Carbohydrates Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Good lord, it's 128 studs long. I wouldn't have room to display it anywhere! Quote
zyrex Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I am very excited now! Can't wait for more pictrures, bigger pictures :) Quote
Adam the Ant Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I might decide to get this model, need to start saving though although I may have a difficult decision if a large Star Wars model comes out around the same time Quote
Artifex Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 First of all, thank you Whung for the pictures (both the Tower Bridge and the Winter Bakery one). Tower Bridge looks nice, but I'll just wait for more and more detailed pictures. I had bigger expectations, and it's just my fault that so far, this set doesn't live to them. Quote
Set Sprinter Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Amazing! Both new Exclusives are so great... I saw real Tower Bridge in London and I think this set is veeeeeery realistic. Only colours of towers are brigther than in real. Too many great sets, not enough money... Quote
omot Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Whung, once again thank you for these early pictures ... for the first: the cars aren't nearly in minifig-scale; but this doesn't matter ... It's amazing ... with 1 metre it's a huge diorama, so i have to make a deal with my wife I'm now waiting for detailed pictures and the first of October ... Quote
Derek Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Good lord, it's 128 studs long. I wouldn't have room to display it anywhere! That's what she said. Maybe? Maybe not...tough crowd... This set looks nice, but due to its size and price, I probably won't get it. I might have if it included figures etc... Thanks for the picture Whung! Quote
lgorlando Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Very Nice! I love all the tan pieces, very useful for town builders. The narrow design and extreme length would make this a great piece for a shelf display. I like the use of tan corner parts and lots of light blue cones. Depending on the price point it seems like a great parts set. Quote
Rick Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Nice design. Won't get it though, because it's microscale. I'd have a much harder time resisting when it would be minifig scale. Quote
______ Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Is this what that poll was about a few months back? If so, I am sort of disappointed.I expected the London eye or a minifigure size church. I wouldn't mind if it was half of the bridge but minifigure scale because the whole bridge in minifigure scale would cost hundreds of pounds. Just my two pence. Quote
Dr.Butcher Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I'm not that impressed by the pic, I thought the set is more in minifig-scale. Maybe if I see larger pictures I'll change my mind. The price is imo ok. Quote
Sir von Lego Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 4287 parts, 219,99€ Release Date: Oct. 2010 Quote

If it was only half of the bridge in minifig scale, this would probably be the top-seller architecture set ever. And forever. Quote
supersympa Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 4287 parts, 219,99€ Release Date: Oct. 2010 first thanks for the piture second thanks for the release details... I expected something else in someways...will just have to look for more pictures... but as people said...so many sets are coming out soon...and already so many sets bought this year!!! Quote
drdavewatford Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Stunning ! Colours look pretty realistic to me. A "must buy". Quote
Cardinal Brick Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I guess I have to be the note of discored here and say I'm a little unimpressed here, while I do like the set I don't think it's as amazing as I'd hopped with so many bricks, I was expecting something while not minifig scale that would at least not be to small to use minifigs with. I will reserve my final judgment till I gewt to see larger pics and possibly a review or two. Quote
