lightningtiger Posted May 23, 2011 Great Work Lightning Tiger, with all the little small details bringing out the details of the shops in the mega mall. The Vodafone booth and Mr Mint's kiosk items are very cool Looking forward to the next shop and completion of this mall! Thank you 'Cavey' for your kind words, once I have the first five shops/businesses build and/or fitted out, I can plan the other three shops and two big stores including a supermarket. Brick On !

Legoless Posted May 23, 2011 Too bad about not having a Lego store- shame there are none 'down under'- in the light of which it was a daft suggestion for a country town. Hell- in the UK we only have two stores outside London (one being Milton Keynes- which is more or less an outer suberb of London), the other being in Cardiff. None at all in Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Bristol, etc, or other densely populated areas. Presumably there are toy shops though- would be interesting to have a small Lego display. Maybe a micro Technic moc made out of wire bag closures (whatever they are called- also used with electric cables when packaged). OK, not 'true' Lego but its hard to make Lego miniatures out of actual Lego! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buddy Posted May 23, 2011 Excellent MOC so far! This MOC is coming along nicely and is looking more and more like a real shopping centre with every update. It will be interesting to see more developments to this. Extremely well done so far. ~buddy~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted May 23, 2011 Hi 'Tiger, you're an artist! I'm always speechless when I see your mini stuff so original and so perfect! You're an acute observer of life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks 'Buddy', 'Lego12Volt' and 'Legoless' for your kind words, an artist eh ? Yeah, my wife would agree on the artist bit.....a bulls..t artist ! Anyway, seriously the kiosk's should be done today.....fingers crossed ! Now feel free to make any other suggestions, you may never know what I'll throw in the mix. Brick On !

lightningtiger Posted May 24, 2011 Quick update and you can start seeing how big this might be. Yep, I got the key (voices, I hear voices....oop's sorry a 1984 song stuck in my head ! ).....two keys - the original and a blank being cut. Now there will be a wall in front of the shoe repair equipment.....this is just one big playset and that's how I'm designing this. Comments welcome and keep watching for more updates.

BrickWild Posted May 24, 2011 Will it include supermarkets? (e.g. Woolworths, Coles, Franklins, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Will it include supermarkets? (e.g. Woolworths, Coles, Franklins, etc) Foodland....the mighty South Aussies ! More suggestions....keep them comming ! Edited May 24, 2011 by lightningtiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 24, 2011 Okay, I need some help to decide which discount store to use..... Store frontage examples. Sorry, can't find one for Target. Suggest away everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricks2000 Posted May 24, 2011 Okay, I need some help to decide which discount store to use..... Depends... Which store sells LEGO best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted May 24, 2011 I suggest K-Mart (since you already did a Target Country before) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted May 24, 2011 What - no Tesco? What about one of each? If we have to pick one, then Target, I say. But they have to have some GIJoe for sale, mate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plissken Posted May 24, 2011 This comes along pretty well. I love your Mister Minit designs and the payphone. I'm looking forward to the progress of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted May 24, 2011 I suggest K-Market ...I think that the red & white colors combination is pretty nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 24, 2011 Okay, that's 1 for Target and two for Kmart.....dam, which means I might have to change the supermarket to Coles or that also might mean two supermarkets....ouch ! Thanks everyone today for your suggestions and kind words......keep watching today (SA time) for the latest news for this creation ! Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoless Posted May 25, 2011 Wow- love the travel agents with the brochures, the Mister Minit (we have those in the UK- I thought they were just a British brand), and the clothes shop. Very imaginative builds! Will there be a speciality ice-cream shop or other snack kiosk such as a pretzel bar with 'real' lemonade (just lemonjuice, sugar and water), doughnut stand, etc? What about an opticians, perfume shop, jewellers (could use thinly cut coloured foil strips for the display- sweet wrappers maybe), hair salon (with dryers) and a bookshop?

lightningtiger Posted May 25, 2011 Ah, 'Legoless' if my money stretches it will have most of that.....in fact the relocated chemist will go next to the Mister Minit.....yep, we have quite a few of those in Oz too ! Thanks for the suggestions too.....gives me plenty to think about.....Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is few ideas for you: - a restaurant (chinese,italian or just a regular one) - a barbershop - a drug store Oh, I see 'icy brick'......the entire creation goes on the outskirts of the town pretty close to the Ford Dealership. Plus a drug store in Oz we call chemists and the Chemmart in town itself is being moved into it's new location ! Updates later in a few hours ! Brick On....Suggest On (Will there be a Target, BigW or Kmart - dam I should ran a poll ?)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brick On....Suggest On (Will there be a Target, BigW or Kmart - dam I should ran a poll ?)! If you have Tesco down under I'd vote for that. Not because it is a particularly good supermarket chain (it isn't), but because of the possibility of local drama, a la http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/apr/22/bristol-riot-police-injured. Damn, I am proud of the city of my birth sometimes (if it wasn't for the violence and from experience police casualties are 'over reported' shall we say). I don't like violence but I do believe in direct action. [Edit] dammit this site has shortened my weblink again to make it unusable- why does it do that?

Artifex Posted May 26, 2011 What, Tiger, no bookshop, magazine stand or comic book store? Every shopping center should have at least one of those! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks for the comments 'Legoless' and 'Artifex', no Tesco's in Oz and a Newspower newsagent might be on the cards. I still working on the kiosk's right now.....I have spent a day just sorting out wet parts....yes wet....had a storm on the weekend. Ah, well posting within a few hours everyone !
