Echo Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I think it is safe to say that we are entering a new Golden Age for City. A true masterpiece. Quote
dunamis Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I called my local LEGO store and they said the set should be in the store this Saturday, March 10th. It will be $140. Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I called my local LEGO store and they said the set should be in the store this Saturday, March 10th. It will be $140. Whoa...that fast? I have my doubts, maybe they meant pre-orders? Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Wow! This set is beautiful. I love it. The price is high, but it's gorgeous. It will make a great focal point for a town/city. I can't wait to see some close-up shots, esp. the interior. It may be just as detailed inside as the exterior. A great mystery can take place in a hotel of this kind. I can't help to wonder if Lego will be offering more of these types of city/town models if they are successful with this. Quote
oo7 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Whoa...that fast? I have my doubts, maybe they meant pre-orders? Yeah, me too. That seems too soon. Wow! This set is beautiful. I love it.

A great mystery can take place in a hotel of this kind.I can't help to wonder if Lego will be offering more of these types of city/town models if they are successful with this. The price is actually not that bad for what it is, it's the same price as the sandcrawler but with 387 more pieces. But unfortunately, the interior is empty. *sad* I'll hoping for just a checkered tile floor. And we are fairly sure Lego will be making other moduals to fit in with this one. After all, there were three at the toy fair. Quote
5150 Lego Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Whoa...that fast? I have my doubts, maybe they meant pre-orders? I called my local lego store and they said they have heard of it, but don't know of a realse date. Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Listen, this is getting ridiculous. We're having people post the same thing twice. Once here and once in the thread dedicated to the cafe in Trains and Town. If there are questions about release, I guess keep it here. But if there are questions and/or comments about the cafe as a set, please post in the other thread here :-) Quote

I suggest it should be moved to T&T. Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Ack! I thought it was. I'll move it then :-) Edit: Done Quote

Once here and once in the thread dedicated to the cafe in Trains and Town. If there are questions about release, I guess keep it here. But if there are questions and/or comments about the cafe as a set, please post in the other thread here :-) The reason why is because on the Main/News page, the message says "Join the discussion here and here" under the image of the cafe/hotel. This is the first thing people are seeing, and just as I did, I clicked the first "here" which is this message. The price is actually not that bad for what it is, it's the same price as the sandcrawler but with 387 more pieces. I prefer Lego keep their sets under $100. This is why I don't buy the large train sets. I hate spending $100 (USD) on a set, even when the value or price/piece is good. This will definately be an exception to my rule. Quote

While that's true, it's people posting the exact same message twice that's a little silly. I mean it's like carrying on the same conversation in stereo :-D Quote

Wasn't sure if the poster is watching both threads or just decided to keep on one. Sorry if that seemed "ridiculous" :-/ Quote
Berry Syedow Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 This is a glorious set that will hopefully see many successors. *y* City fans must feel spoiled? Or have the wrongs of the past now been righted? :-P Quote

Sorry if that seemed "ridiculous" :-/ Well, it's more that people were carrying on the same conversation in two places rather than a specific aspect of a conversation in one (release information) and another aspect in the other (comments about the set). Now that it's settled (I hope), I don't think it'll be a problem. You have to admit it is kind of silly to have the same conversation carried out in two threads, but it's not a problem :-P Quote

Sir von Lego Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 So, why can't you wait for two or three more days? We now all saw the picture, it is a fantastic set, now be patient and wait until TLC will sell the set. I am always interested in new pictures and sets, but if the admins were asked to put this picture down they will have to do it. Otherwise, wEB won't get information in future like they (we) get it now. Just my opinion..(-; Be patient and happy about 2007! Quote

We weren't talking about why the pics arewere taken down (at least iwasn't) That topics been dropped. I never said that i couldn't wait. Just trying to get info on the realse date like most everyone here. Quote
MShiels Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 All the USA based LEGO Brand Stores should have this set available for March 10th, 139.99 USD, so grab while they are available, not sure how much more stock is rolling in, but the stores I buzzed had a fair number. Quote

Really ?? Is that Cafe set released that early ? Wow, something to look for soon I hope ;-) And topic pinned !! It really deserved that treatment :-P *yoda* Quote
Vader Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I thought this set was going to be closer to the end of the year 8- Quote
