How much did it cost you to go the BL route?

Awesome little set. Too bad the stores that opened up in California all opened up last year!!!

I just saw on Lego.com that the Peabody store will be opening on the 25-27. I was supposed to go to this opening to get this brilliant little set, but I had already booked my flight for vacation and took work off. That means after two months of patiently waiting, and finally hearing the opening of the store, I will no longer get the chance to go. I guess I'll need to go the Bricklink route.

Thanks for the review. It is nice seeing this set up close.

It is a neat little set, but not something I would particularly care for standing in line for multiple hours for. It isn't something I care to collect, but I can understand people wanting a copy of it.

There is a Lego store opening up about 3 hours from here, but I doubt I will make the drive down there when it happens, but I will definitely drive down there eventually to check everything out since I've never been to a Lego store before. The closest one to here is at the Mall of America (approximately 6-7 hour drive from here). Needless to say, I haven't made the trek.

You really should go. My first trip to a LEGO store...in a word. Unbelievable. It was just so much fun. I felt like the kids who were running around the store around me. Looking and pointing at all the built display models, seeing all those sets and the PaB wall. Wow.

I would go the BL route, but I'm a set collector, so I want the official, real deal set. I'm kind of surprised LEGO hasn't made a minifig sized store yet. It would obviously be an instant hit on this site. Some buying more than one. That would be the star of any City layout.

There's a great model on Cuusoo. Hopefully it'll make it, or Lego will deliver a great set shortly.

That's a great review.

Can't say that I'd be too interested in standing in line for hours for it. Or paying too much, either. I guess it if somehow fit in better with other sets, I might go for it.

[Wrinkledog]

very cool. I was not sure about this set, but it has a good look... Cant wait for the Lego store to open near me later this year!

Great review, this set really does have a bunch of useful pieces But I doubt I'll ever get one, since no LEGO store will ever open out here in Israel

Thanks for reviewing this, Jimbee! I like your solution to the transparent piece photography problem.

I'd love to get my hands on one of these. Our most recent local LEGO store opening was Westfield Stratford where I queued and got.... a T-shirt.
