What makes me giddy is that you can buy ten of these so you stack all the seconds floors to basically make a vertical mall of toilets. If you like, you can keep going until you have a separate toilet for each minifigure. And the town will be christened Urinetown.

Now thats just taking the p*ss.

I'm curious on everyone's idea of where to fit the DO into their layout/street. I am thinking of squeezing it in along this part of mine. Its the business district part. With shops and the FB and my own mocs. The FB ambulance annex I moc'd is finally done and in place. I don't think it would look right next to the town house and my other house moc. Here are a couple of photos.

i think I will be putting it next to the parisian restaurant so I can hang a clothes line across the gap and use blank flag elements as laundry. This will give it more of a mediterranean feel.

The Town Hall sort of ruined this illusion by including a computer with a flat screen monitor. There have been other details that aren't 100% historically accurate to being pre-war, but that was by far the most blatant.

Yeah, know I remember.....must have being installed by Doctor Who when he traveled back in time !

The TH was an odd one out as it's design doesn't fit the others......apart from the TH they all look early 20th century USA.

I have to find some new spot. The current row of modulars I have is full.

You could buy the new City de-construction sets shortly and knock down your least favourite modular then the DO can go in it's place......just a suggestion.

Right. I most probably try to find a fire brigade so that the DO isnt going to stand alone. Or I moc something up. We'll see.

Likewise here, planning a MOC I am so I can buy this set and it won't feel lonely !

[finnbricker]

It's up on US S@H. Price $160. Available from 1st Jan.

No European prices yet.

I just noticed the base of the street lamp is above the rest of the sidewalk- in all the previous modulars I have the streetlamp is attached directly to the baseplate so the base is flush with the flat tiles that make up the sidewalk... Going to see what is better- dropping this one down or raising all the rest.

[Gongoro73]

^Actually, Parisian Restaurant had the street lamp raised as well.

[lightningtiger]

So by the looks of it Lego might stick to a design/theme plan for the sake of keeping everything uniform.

Dam, that might mean I'll need this and the PR !

I like the raised lamp version better, as the design of the lamp-post is more visible... so with my latest Bricklink order i ordered some extra 2x2 dark bluish grey plates...in fact 25...;-)

Can anyone guess, how the water tower on the roof was built with so many sides?

I already raised all my steet lamps to match the one in PR. I think it looks much better.

Is the DO going to be stackable? (add additional levels by replicating the middle floor)???

When you look at the pictures, i would say, yes, it is stackable.. and if not.. there is always a way to mod the second floor untill it is stackable....but it seems me that it is easily stackable....

Well, since they use a lot of 1x1 round plates with hole, I thought it could be something like this:

But there's definitely something else going on, because I was unable to properly align those 1x3 tiles, while in the pictures they are aligned perfectly.

But there is a technic axle going though the centre of the water tank.....hmmm, I wonder what parts hide inside it ?

On the barber shop pole there is blue ?

I though they were red and white to represent blood and bandages from the wild west days.

Thanks 'BirdOPrey4' !

Ah, reading Wiki on barber shop poles......red and blue mean two kinds of circulating blood......men they do make it hard don't they ?

So that puts all the new modular designs in the USA doesn't it ?
