Big-whoop-Guybrush Posted October 11, 2015 Can't post box pics but the Windows look much better in that image. Much more muted colour than those shown above Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
langezwieper Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I really like it! 12108736_10206550499775392_6239050921247665117_n.jpg YouTube vid of The BrickShow: Edited October 11, 2015 by langezwieper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nesquik Posted October 11, 2015 Actually, it's a bit odd. Banks are usually in the better part of town, laundromats in the other end. But lets see how it works out Never heard of money laundering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big-whoop-Guybrush Posted October 11, 2015 Height is on par with the tall side of the DO and same as PR up against them I think fits in aesthetically. They've still got their story with the money being transported through the laundry machines and up the "chimney". Nice big vault at the back. on cheaper end of the mods. Wonder if they'll do a bonus poly bag To go with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vodnik Posted October 11, 2015 It's not as small as it seems. It is at least 27 bricks tall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gongoro73 Posted October 11, 2015 Well, that's more like it. It's a beautiful set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peedeejay Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I like it. Should look good next to my pizza parlor. ;) It looks a bit small, but really no chance to have a bigger modular with TLG limiting themselves to a 150€ price tag. Too bad the san green window frames only come in 1 size. Edited October 11, 2015 by peedeejay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jern92 Posted October 11, 2015 I can't tell if the pillars on the first floor are white or tan. Some pictures seem to show it in tan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter_m Posted October 11, 2015 It's not as small as it seems. It is at least 27 bricks tall. It is 26 cm high vs 30 cm for PR and 38 cm (!) for GE. Small! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikhkin Posted October 11, 2015 With the correct colours I like it a lot more. Still not pleased with a laundry, but that can either be hidden or re-worked as a small shop. Not overly thrilled about the interior (especially overlapping plates on the top floor by the balcony and stairs), but I really like the appearance of the front of the bank and that's all that'll be seen on display Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NBV83 Posted October 11, 2015 Looks nice and seems to fit well in height with the DO and PR. Excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammael Posted October 11, 2015 Ok, MUCH better in white. What's up with that tan variant... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vodnik Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) It is 26 cm high vs 30 cm for PR and 38 cm (!) for GE. Small! That 38 cm include the ad sign on top, so it really doesn't count. The PR has a >3 brick tall chimney - if you don't count it, the building itself is similar height. Edited October 11, 2015 by Vodnik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikhkin Posted October 11, 2015 It is 26 cm high vs 30 cm for PR and 38 cm (!) for GE. Small! It really isn't that small. When compared to the Palace Cinema and Fire Brigade it's only a couple of cm shorter of the main building. Those 2 sets are only significantly taller due to roof-top details like the bell tower. I'd estimate that the flat portion of the roof is the same height as the PC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noreha Posted October 11, 2015 That box image is much better, still a little underwhelming... But again, need to see more images before I make a decision... So it'll be about the same height as the PS? Happily I have plenty of criminal minifigs to bring in to do a bank heist for me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BirdOPrey5 Posted October 11, 2015 OMG... I saw that picture I thought it was a joke- something someone copied from Lego Ideas as a prank, Those colors are horrible, It's too small. Far more disappointing than DO was. Sorry- but they went in the exact opposite direction I wanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BirdOPrey5 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) More pics/info: http://zusammengebau...llt-10251-2382/ Sorry this was moved here from the modular rumors thread- hadn't thought to look for a new thread just for the bank yet.

Vodnik Posted October 11, 2015 More pics/info: http://zusammengebau...llt-10251-2382/ No, not more. All that is already at Brickset and was posted earlier. Those colors are horrible, It's too small. Far more disappointing than DO was. You forgot to wrote "in my opinion". For me the colors look good and the size is acceptable. I'm not disappointed at all.
