brickcitydepot Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I got mine in this morning and just finished building both houses. Its hard to tell from pictures whats going on but it looks great in person. I felt the brown house had more new techniques than the pet shop. I definitely feel that they could made some awesome interiors with just 100 more pieces or so. Some new pieces (to me) and some pieces in new colors are in this set. Quote
Vindicare Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Mine has arrived! That is super fast for standard delivery, i wasnt expecting it until next week at the earliest! Well done Lego! ok, bottle of Rose on the go and let the building commence! What country do you live in? I ordered mine bright and early Tuesday and was hoping for a delivery today, otherwise I have to go the entire weekend Quote

Anyways congrats on getting the Pet Shop! Quote

Izy Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 mine is in 2 ! ordered it tuesday evening!! :thumbup: Quote
Locutis Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Is anyone planning on ordering two sets, and building a 32-wide townhouse and a 32-wide Pet Shop? The townhouse could be a duplex, two side-by-side, and the pet shop could simply be made wider. How do you think that would look? Locutis Edited May 14, 2011 by Locutis Quote

LEGO AFOL Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Good to see all modular buildings joined together. Is anyone planning on ordering two sets, and building a 32-wide townhouse and a 32-wide Pet Shop? The townhouse could be a duplex, two side-by-side, and the pet shop could simply be made wider. How do you think that would look? Locutis Reminds me of the mirror green groccers I seen before. Quote
JeffrWRX Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Ordered mine on the 10th... Delivered today!!! Quote
BrickUpdate Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 @Locutis I totally agree - you could buy 10 of these sets and have a row of brownstones, and then use the pet shop pieces to create a larger apartment building with shops on the ground floor. Though, come to think of it, how many sand blue apartment buildings have I seen in my life? Quote
GRogall Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) By the way, for those people who have the Petshop did you notice the unknown Minifigure on the back of the box? The picture with GE,FB and PS. has a lady going in to the Petshop side entrance with a black torso and white legs and the same hair piece as the girl from the petshop. But she is in none of the Modular Building sets! Edited May 15, 2011 by grogall Quote

GRogall Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Thats the woman who was included in the Grand Emporium. No, I said black torso and the hair is the same as the one from the girl from the Petshop! -EDIT- on second thought, you might be right! Edited May 15, 2011 by grogall Quote
GRogall Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Review anytime soon? Anybody? Sorry, I don't have a good enough camera to do a good review. Maybe Svetie could come back out of the dark ages and give us one? Quote
TheMagician Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Two small remarks about the pet shop. First, I think it's nice that the manual came in an extra bag with a piece of cardboard in it to prevent dog-ears. And did anybody else notice that all official photos of the brown apartment building show flowers on the balcony above the bay window but the instructions don't have these flowers in them? Quote
pdxa4 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 First, I think it's nice that the manual came in an extra bag with a piece of cardboard in it to prevent dog-ears. My recently delivered Fire Station also had the cardboard to protect the manual... Something my Grand Emporium or Winter Classic Sets did not have... I saw the Pet Shop in person yesterday at our local Lego store in Santa Clara, CA...Looks nice. Quote
Nebi Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 No, I said black torso and the hair is the same as the one from the girl from the Petshop! -EDIT- on second thought, you might be right! That is definitely her. By the way: I have ordered the Petshop on 10th an it arrived one day later Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 That is definitely her. By the way: I have ordered the Petshop on 10th an it arrived one day later That's not fair. I orderd mine on the 10th and still no sign of it comming. Well I guess I will just have to wait acouple more days. Quote
Fuzzylegobricks Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 I got mine on the 10th it says it will come on Tuesday. The card board was with my sticker sheet for the Maersk train and the instructions. It seems like it is a new thing they will keep. Quote
cottonwood Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Did they advertise any new sets at the end of the instruction booklets? Quote
Vindicare Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 That's not fair. I orderd mine on the 10th and still no sign of it comming. Well I guess I will just have to wait acouple more days. Nothing here either, not expecting today obviously... Hopefully tomorrow. I ordered mine as soon as S@H opened Tuesday. Quote
GRogall Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Did they advertise any new sets at the end of the instruction booklets? No, nothing new! Quote
cimddwc Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 I have ordered the Petshop on 10th an it arrived one day later Now that's fast. Mine, ordered on 10th and shipped on 11th, arrived on Friday. Was that express shipping, or do you have some friends at DHL? Nice to see they use the cardboard with the instructions even when there are no sticker sheets like in this set. Not nice to see the mistake with the balcony flowers TheMagician mentioned... Quote
