Follows Closely Posted April 9, 2011 Well done FC! But... it might be a good idea to switch from this topic... I agree, I will start a new topic if I go any further with the above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malliemcg Posted April 9, 2011 Wow, there are some talent people here wrt the MOCs. The pet store is the first modular one that my wife seems to be interested in. If it's got animals she needs it, (looks like Lego addiction is contagious). I can't wait for more details and a picture of this to emerge. How long is the GE likely to remain on sale post the release of the petshop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Follows Closely Posted April 9, 2011 ...How long is the GE likely to remain on sale post the release of the petshop? The FB is the next one to go. The GE has another year me thinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickUpdate Posted April 10, 2011 Great see this MOC come together - channeling the image of the Pet Shop from memory. Maybe you have a career ahead of you as LEGO psychic - building sets that have yet to be released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewatchman Posted April 10, 2011 wow im amazed at your ability to build from memory. awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adello25 Posted April 12, 2011 The FB is the next one to go. The GE has another year me thinks. I thought the same thing but when I went to the Lego Store near me, I asked a guy there and he said he's heard that the Grand Emporium will be retired first, even though the fire brigade was released first.

GRogall Posted April 17, 2011 Any news recently? I'm so anxious. We are all anxious to see pictures of the set! But I don't think we will hear anything until Afolcon which is being held on the last weekend of this month… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrcool1804 Posted April 26, 2011 Come on Lego! Let's release this thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregorovich Posted April 26, 2011 LEGO are doing very well at keeping this all secret... and I hate it! I'm really desperate to see at least one image of this set, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much, incase the set's a bit disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jotty Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) The store manager mentioned June 1st with a price of $149.99, and 2032 pieces. Can confirm this. Talked to the store manager at Lego in Copenhagen and he told me the same date. Edit: Wrong quote.. Edited April 26, 2011 by Jotty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BudhaBoss Posted April 27, 2011 To ease the waiting to the pictures - some more detailed info about the set (I think it would not harm so close to sale date). Looking forward to buy this set. I like that it has two buildings, so it can be placed between the older buildings. I like the size, as it will be the same as in the case of Market Street building (i.e. 6 studs pavement in the front and 8 studs backyard). The baseplates will be of green color. What I have seen (yes, I did see it), the pet shop building has a lot of the blue color (sides, back side), only the front has so little. The MOC of FollowsClosely is pretty close, well instead of pet shop, as there will be shop window and glass door and next to it will be stairs to the house upper floors(with mailbox, light (no light brick). The brown (with few orange tiles) house will have L-Shaped highest floor with some kind of balcony or how to call it, on the side towards backyard. At backyard will be some stairs to first floor and entrance to the cellar. Animals that I have seen - two parrots, dog (same as in new Police sets) and a cat with lighter color than the dog. 4 figs (one of them child), green bicycle. It seems that there are spiral stairs inside the brown/orange house. Black roof on the pet shop, dark red on the brown/orange one (plus removable flat top). Plenty of flowers at the windows (similar to cookies in Winter bakery). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted April 27, 2011 Well, that's a description eh ? Market Street re-visited by the sounds of it and gee....2 birds, a cat and a police dog...wow, interesting pet shop...no fish, rabbits...oh, they could have thrown in a rat ! I guess we only have a few days to wait, but I ask how did this new member see it and in such detail ? Keep om waiting ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Follows Closely Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) the pet shop building has a lot of the blue color (sides, back side), only the front has so little. I did not notice the blue on the sides, that would be very nice indeed. Also, there are snakes and a fish included. ... house will have L-Shaped highest floor with some kind of balcony or how to call it, on the side towards backyard... Like this. I think afolcon is the logical reveal, is it not? Edited April 27, 2011 by Follows Closely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BudhaBoss Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Saw the box - does not display more animals, maybe some more will be inside the shop. "Balcony" (or terrace) is like the one FollowsClosely showed - but on the other side of the building (next to the pet shop). For Lightningtiger: There was one more animal visible - a grey frog above the stairs to upper levels of the building with pet shop It seems to me that the shop is more likely selling toys and things for animals than selling animals themselves, as the cat, dog are outside on the pavement (I remember some bones and ball in the shop or in front of the shop). And one more thing - but I am not sure about it - I think that windows and some other parts of the pet shop house are done in this color. Now start the fight Edited April 27, 2011 by BudhaBoss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BudhaBoss Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) I was trying to find the cat from this set on peeron, yet I cannot find the color pattern. It is this one http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6251 , but with light brown color (lighter than dog, cheeks white). EDIT: I think this is the one. The girl I think had dark hair with long braid (similar to Padme in Mos Espa race) and there is this hair on woman.

If it was, I hope it's a colour other than dark brown. And was the woman's hairpiece in brown, or was it a different colour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
