My City-sets

[Fabulandlover]

So, what is exactly new after I got the Grand Emporium?

Pet Shop:

Finally a house for the minifigures to live . Enjoyable build. I know how to build a sofa and a bed now!

The Parisian restaurant:

I loved the colours and the details of the build. One of my favourites! I only seemed to have left over quite some spare parts. Is that normal? I will make a picture later. And I finally have a cook! When I was young one of my friends had Paradisa, and she had a set that included a waiter with a moustashe and a cook. When I was at her place, I always wanted to play with the cook and the waiter. Loved those! And now I have a cook myself .

Nice tidbit; when I bought the Grand Emporium, my mother didn't quite approve. She must have thought I was going mad . So, when I bought the Pet Shop I didn't show it and she didn't know. However, with the Parisian restaurant, she knew because I ordered at S&H and it was delivered home. This time she was very interested, even excited! Probably it helped that the free snowglobe was included and she thought the Santa minifigure was cute. End of story: she asked if she could build the Santa minifigure and the minifigures of the Parisian Restaurant. Afte that she helped sorting and finding pieces. And she was in awe the whole time during the build. "Oh, look: there is a crossaint, turkey and grapes!" "Oh my gosh, it is refrigerator. Genius!"

When the pencil pot came in and the vignettes her first question was: Can I build the minifigures? . It made the building experience that much nicer.

The vignettes:

Minifigures before I got back into Lego;

 

After buying three modulars, three vignettes, Fun in the Park, two CMF's and Pencil Pet (the Santa from the Snowglobe is still by the Christmas tree)
