Brickdoctor Posted October 5, 2013 ...and this is now good to go public! Looks like a great set; I love the use of elements like the white croissants, grey feathers, and white seashells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Posted October 5, 2013 Looks pretty good. I'll have to pick this one up, and I was hoping not to pick up any sets for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted October 5, 2013 Okay, now I can talk about this set! Wow... what a set. This is probably my favorite modular. There's so much stuff going on. I was disappointed by the last two modulars, but this definitely made up. I love the olive color scheme, the dinning area, the outer stairs, the baseplate, the rolling pin, the fact that there is a frickin' adorable story behind the set, and so on. The $10 price raise is inconsistent, but that kind of went for the Town Hall set. Additionally, the fact that it's coming out in January might mean that I'll be able to get it for my birthday if there is an early release in December! Also, loving the new moped and flower-pot pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CM4Sci Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Awesome modular! I'm so fascinated by this new bowl piece, I don't know why. And that scooter! -Sci Edited October 5, 2013 by CM4S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted October 5, 2013 Anyone know what "Chez Albert" refers to? Awesome looking set! Doing a quick Google search shows that it's a French restaurant in Massachusetts. Odd choice... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoxYourBlox Posted October 5, 2013 Quite possibly the best modular I've seen--a must have for sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kasmca Posted October 5, 2013 Awesome! - This may be my fav. I'm also very pleased that Lego is adjusting their Canadian pricing to be more comparable to US pricing. $30 difference vs $50 in the past - though not close to par, which is what the exchange rate it, it's a step in the right direction. Amazing amount of details and great colour scheme. Thanks OP for the fantastic HD pictures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CMP Posted October 5, 2013 Scooter!!! By far the best modular building in the series, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted October 5, 2013 Scooter!!! By far the best modular building in the series, in my opinion. I echo both sentiments - I think I'll definitely pick up one (or two!) of these. And all that olive green is so pretty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted October 5, 2013 This is awesome. I love all of the little details. The white croissants work really well here. The color scheme is great. That scooter . They incorporated a lot of little things in it, which is great. I don't particularly care for how small the top loft is. Nice idea to make it accessible, but would prefer it to be a little bigger/taller. My main concern is then trying to show it next to the current modular which is a corner and this isn't. Shouldn't they have placed it on the side? And the price increase isn't wanted. But it does have a few hundred more pieces, so it can be justified. But more than likely it will be the new trend, just like the winter village sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marvinblue Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Wow! What a nice set! I was reading all the buzz and thinking "yeah, sounds nice, blah blah", but having seen it, it has totally changed my opinion of this set!! I love the interior and the new building design. The moped looks pretty good too. I've got a few modulars, but have fell off the modular wagon, as my street scape had run out of room. Now I have to work out where to put it!! Well done to Jamie and his team!! Edited October 5, 2013 by marvinblue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted October 5, 2013 This set made my morning (and day)! I'm up too early for a Saturday, however, it was worth seeing this pictures. There's too many details I like, and the colour scheme is lovely. I'm sure I want more than one of these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha Posted October 5, 2013 I haven't been this impressed by a LEGO set in a long time. So many fantastic details and building techniques. The scooter is a great new mold that I am sure will be used a lot in the future. I agree with others this is easily the best modular to date, and bumps Cafe Corner down the list.

nana Posted October 5, 2013 Wo! Definitely love it. The design is very cute and special from other modular buildings. I didn't know it could be revealed so early! The only thing I would like to complain is the color. This kind of yellow is a bit dull. I hope there will be one of deep purple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Locutis Posted October 5, 2013 Wow, this set is truly amazing! It very much reminds me of a mix between cafe corner and Green Grocer. There's a lot of Green Grocer-like design in there. It's interesting to note how they did the box art, with this set beside the corner set on the right, which they normally do not do. Also, note that Pet Shop, Fire Brigade, and Grand Emporium are all absent on the box art. I hope Lego keeps their CDN/USD pricing for other sets like this one. Maybe they have finally realized that their Canadian dollar pricing needs to be more in-line with the USD pricing, which on this set is much more realistic. I hope it isn't a mistake!

Andy D Posted October 5, 2013 Wow! This is just great! I usually get 2 copies of the modulars (1 to build, 1 for parts), but because of the colors I may just wind up with 3 of this one! Price increase, not so much... As I recall a typical modular ha around 2,200 parts, this one has more than 2,400 parts. To me that more than justifies the price increase. Geesh, too many things I need (beside LEGO), I must priortize, somehow. Thanks to the team designing this model (I assume Jamie was lead). Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxxum Town Posted October 5, 2013 Amazing looking set, great details everywhere except that are modular houses shrinking in psf (per square feet) as the year goes by? The piece count are all consumed by the small plates and details while overall room/building size have shrinked to a new height.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
