antp Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Or are you calling the floor above the ground floor as 1st floor? I've never understood that convention. Here in Canada, the floor above the ground/main floor is always Floor 2. In Europe the ground floor is usually not counted, the first one above the ground one is the 1st floor. Even in UK Engish it seems. And I guess in Singapore too, then. In French it works well as the term used for that ("étage") has also an "upstairs" meaning: "ground" and "floor" are two different things then. Edited April 2, 2014 by antp Quote
Inzane Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 IDid it in meters since 80% of the world uses it and us crazy Americans still use the feet. Who knows maybe in a few years after the US dollar is no longer being used as the world currency because we print money to pay our debts and the US is in another recession in a year or 2 from now we will adjust to the world for our measurements. Are you going to start pronouncing the letter 'Z' as ZED like the rest of us too, while you're at it? Quote

Actually in Singapore its first / second floor, but I've spent far too many years in Europe so.. Quote
gunm Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Whelp, I bit the bullet and ordered this set yesterday from S@H to get the double points...it was shipped today and is on it's way! Not sure if I'm going to build it right away though. I'm in the middle of moving.... Quote
rollermonkey Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I just finished the apartment / middle floor of PR... This set is awesome. It really makes GG look unfinished on the inside though. Quote

LegoSjaak Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I ordered it also. Once I receive it, I will own ALL of the modulars. Can not wait! Welcome to the VIP club 'OAM' (Owners of All Modulars) I wonder how many people there are who have all of them... Quote

astra Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 sounds a like a fun idea, but probably better to start a new topic? To keep things organized and not to clutter this topic? Quote
elleana Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Missing Market Street and Fire Brigade (didn't care enough for the design of either to buy / bricklink) Quote

Yocalyptus Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Hi guys! I just got this awesome set and I enjoyed building it! Spent the whole night building and had to make it fast because me and my bestfriend finished it at 1:30 am! :) Definitely worth it! :) Quote
Super Goblin Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 This is a awesome build, I'm on book three and should be able to finish it tonight after work. Quote
syy89 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Bought PR three weeks ago along with PC. Started building PC within two days and finished it in three evenings while working during the day. Still haven't started on PR yet as I tend to like leaving my brand new Lego MISB for a period of time, but I'm sure I'll succumb to finally opening and building it given the total awesomeness of this set! Quote
Poisso3 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Just got the PC earlier this evening, and my daughter has already started the build. It was hard to stop her for bed, so I have a feeling it will be built before tomorrow afternoon. Quote
The Jersey Brick Guy Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Talk about fast shipping! I just finished building the first floor of it. So far it's been a nice build! Quote
syy89 Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Just finished building mine. Looks even better up close than in photos; definitely my favourite modular by far and certainly a must-have! Quote
The Jersey Brick Guy Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 It was a great build. I can't wait for the next one! Quote
kermit Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) After several months of having mine I must admit that among all the modular buildings that Lego made, this one is the best. Not only does it have great detail on the inside of the several floors the details on the outside is what sells this set and stands out. There is so much going on in the front and the back of the building which is just great. I put the thanksgiving polybag set in the back of the building as a secluded dinning area and it looks great.

Poisso3 Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) So, after putting the set together, my wife asks me, is there a restroom for any of the floors. That got me wondering if anyone had MOD'd their PR to have a restroom? Or any other way other than just a 2x build for that matter. Edited April 21, 2014 by Poisso3 Quote
craiggrannell Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 "Il y a un trou dans le sol à l'extérieur, madame!" A single 2x2 black tile should do it. Quote
talos Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I think only the townhouse with the PetShop set has a bathroom included, under the stairs. Quote
LegoSjaak Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I think only the townhouse with the PetShop set has a bathroom included, under the stairs. well, that will become a busy place then....haha..!! Quote
Poisso3 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 So, after building this set, I started looking at how other people have displayed it with the other modulars, and it got me thinking about the window in the kitchen that is on the side of the building. This is the first set that has windows on a side that is normally hidden by another building, so does that mean that the next set, or a future set could have an open side or a courtyard that the PR kitchen window looks upon? How are you with the other modular displaying the PR in relation to that side window? Quote
