ks6349 Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 I always have a special preference for the creator 3in1 series because I personally don't have time to work on Expert sets which are often over two thousands pieces. 3in1 is like a simplified version of the Expert. I thought after Bike shop and Cafe 31026 they will not release similar sets with around 1000 pieces but after 5 years they finally release this set which is around 1000 pieces. Quote
Mylenium Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 I have it on my radar, but I'm still kinda torn. It's a bit mundane and looks a bit messy. Well, in any case, I'm waiting for prices to drop and then we'll see how it goes... Mylenium Quote
TeriXeri Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Yes, easily, fits right in with other sets of previous years. I personally have no problem with the open back designs of more recent 3-in-1 buildings. Quote

Well, in any case, I'm waiting for prices to drop and then we'll see how it goes... Mylenium Yeah, it's the exact same for me. My creator 3in1 interest started from the Corner Deli, from then on I got all the other "shop styled" buildings (including Park Street Townhouse), and bluntly speaking the 31097 just doesn't hold up to those ones. Perhaps seeing it in person would change my mind... Quote
TeriXeri Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Speaking of Corner Deli, this does feel a bit like that but bigger. Corner Deli looked great from the outside, but the interior space was tiny when opened up, one of the top floors interior is like 2 studs deep The Bank and Dentist/Hairdresser alternate builds also cannot be underestimated and I like those a lot more then in some of the smaller 3-in-1's from the past.

Around 60 Euro will be okay. Mylenium Quote

Around 60 Euro will be okay. Mylenium from the past experience, what is the lowest or "saturated" price of a new set ( % ) from the original full price? Here in my country apprxo EUR 70 now, but I still have more than 5 sets to build so I can wait Quote

Mylenium I know the last larger 3-in-1 "House" set, the Family Villa dropped from €65 to around €40-45 at it's low, and it was sold for a long time around there, so I expect something here as well. Similarly the Pirate Rollercoaster €85 start price, can still be found around €60 or below ever since a few months after it's launch. Edited June 24, 2019 by TeriXeri Quote

In any case, I'm not in a rush and can bide my time. Mylenium Quote
MAB Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 If 50% off, then yes for a parts pack. Otherwise no. I'm not sure who it is aimed at. As an AFOL, I'd prefer one decent modular than two of these. Whereas as a parent, there are many other sets my kids are interested in. But I guess there must be a market for them otherwise they wouldn't make them. Quote
