weltall1028 Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I think its really cool, but I would much rather save up for the real modular buildings. I'm actually more excited about the new brick separator than this set. Quote
Mrcool1804 Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I'd like to see a Eurobricks rendition of the Petshop to match these.. Quote
Benny3000 Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Anybody noticed the "Brick, Arch 1 x 3 x 2 Curved Top" in yellow on the Grand Emporium? I think this is quite a nice "new part" when you see the actual price for one... Quote
2k gold Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan. Sure, they look good and it's a good source of pieces, I just don't see this worthy of my $100. I'd rather save more and get a real modular building. I have to say that I kind of believe this, but at the same time I would like to get it because I can't afford to get the big sets and the Lego star wars sets Quote
LegoDadRobb Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 This was a huge surprise, at least for me. I've always loved it when people made MOCs of mini modulars, so to be able to get a full set straight from the source is great! As always, I do wish it were a little cheaper, but it's actually fairly reasonable compared to a lot of sets. Can't wait! So Sonic, how do will we have to wait for you to show us mini versions of YOUR modulars? Quote
tafkatb Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Ooh, I will definitely have to get this! The modulars have always been out of my price range (well, a lot of sets are outside my price range; it's one reason I'm drawn to microscale) so the chance to get mini versions for $16 apiece is too good to pass up. And if this set is popular enough, we'll almost certainly get more mini-modulars later on. Quote
Nachapon Lego Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Not sure my calculation correct or not. L x W x H = 1/4 but have five = 5/64 of one normal scale in volume. USD 80 / 5 * 64 = USD 1024 one normal scale price. Very very expensive. Almost 7 times more expensive. Edited September 29, 2011 by bbqqq Quote

USD 80 / 5 * 64 = USD 1024 one normal scale price. Very very expensive. Almost 7 times more expensive. That's correct if you're just going by volume, but there are lots of different factors that make a LEGO set worth the money. For instance, I know price per piece isn't necessarily a perfect metric either, but it is less than 6¢ per piece, which I see as a very good value. (And sure, they're small pieces, but for fans of microscale building that's a plus.) Quote

(And sure, they're small pieces, but for fans of microscale building that's a plus.) For reals. A lot of what governs price is the mass of plastic required. Smaller parts actually use more plastic relative to the area they take up: it's easy to tell this by stacking three 2x2 plates, and comparing that to a 2x2 brick. So a set like this obviously costs a decent amount, because you're getting a massive amount of fiddly detail pieces. My dad's in the VIP program, so I'm hoping he gets this. Quote

I know that it is impossible that the price will be USD 12(by volume). I think about USD 50 is a fair price. (4.3 times instade of 6.8 times(USD80) more expensive than real modular by volume.) It is good if we also have price per weight(g) and price per volume(cc) database for each set for reference. Edited October 3, 2011 by bbqqq Quote
Solscud007 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Sorry if I missed it, but how are these exclusive to VIP members? I wish these were made available for Xmas. I cant wait to get them. Im sure my fiancee will want them. Quote
CommanderFox Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Sorry if I missed it, but how are these exclusive to VIP members? Yeah im wondering about that aswell, pretty annoying. They are very cute though, and some smart little building techniques in there! Maybe i'll have a crack at building some of them sometime, if instructions are around. CF Quote
HighFlyer Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Nice detailing, but I'd much rather save up towards a real modular. Let's hope that this set isn't an excuse not to release another Modular Building next year! Quote
Vindicare Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Nice detailing, but I'd much rather save up towards a real modular. Let's hope that this set isn't an excuse not to release another Modular Building next year! I think the rumor is Town Hall. It had the 5 digit number-10224, I believe- so, looks like we will still be getting a modular. I hope this is true. Although not a modular, we have a town hall in 10194 Town Plan. I would've preferred something retail wise or an apartment. Quote

We had apartments in Green Grocer and Pet Shop, retail in Green Grocer, Grand Emporium, Pet Shop... for me a Town Hall would be perfect. Edited October 14, 2011 by HighFlyer Quote

True. But, when I think of a Town Hall, it's a standalone building. Whereas the Modular line is meant to be a street scene, side by side. But, I'm completely fine with a Modular Town Hall, I'm fine with any building they decide on(minus a CC/MS rerelease ). I'll just make my 10184 Town Hall into a museum.

TomRoid Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I like this, though maybe I'd choose Grand Emporium over these for my town/minifigures. At one point on eBay GE was the same price. Quote
tafkatb Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Does anyone know for sure when this is actually coming out? When I asked at the local LEGO Store a couple weeks ago, I was told January, but now the release date on S@H has been bumped to February. Quote
