Elysiumfountain Posted December 6, 2019 It's starting to grow on me. At first I was thinking it wasn't an instant buy, but now that I've seen the higher resolution photos I'm starting to rethink it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Withacee Posted December 6, 2019 That bird's nest looks like it is made of a minifig beard. Love the model plane in the tree And some new leaf colours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, this Modular looks awesome. After several fairly angular ones, it's a breath of fresh air to see so much roundedness. It does look a tad small, but so very attractive, and nice to see them do another one with two seperable buildings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I have an insider (who shall remain nameless) and she says that when it comes to new sets, they have to swear not to say anything or show anything until it's time to do so. So either you're lying or....that person at the store is in for a world of trouble. Latter post seemed unnecessarily harsh at the time, and hasn't improved with age. Thank you for what proved to be solid info kiwinewt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vindicare Posted December 6, 2019 Wow! I am in love. It looks fantastic, I love the blue building, that roof is awesome. Great recolor parts too. Now that the reveal torture is over.....now the January 1st torture truly begins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted December 6, 2019 I love it, its got some nice colors (dark blue, teal, medium dark flesh, dark red). Really looks like the kind of bookstore you might find rare or old books in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blazej_Holen Posted December 6, 2019 Whoa thats definitelly perfect add on to the modular series. Nice British look too. Only pitty is that windows from bookstore lack any print... but that just mior flaw. Overal day 1 purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PBRStreetgang Posted December 6, 2019 Happy for the bookshop and the piece count. But what is the blue building supposed to be?? I note the similar the PR like outdoor veranda behind the blue building (from what I can see from the Instagram pictures) but I have no idea what the blue building is??

Going off the “107” above the door, it’s gotta be another townhouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bainter-ban Posted December 6, 2019 Wow. First impression: absolutely gorgeous. A huge step up from CG. I am really looking forward buying this. Might be my first pre-order in years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skalldyr Posted December 6, 2019 I wonder what the name will be. Birch Books would be confusing with Brick Bank (BB) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wgh2202 Posted December 6, 2019 Going against popular opinion but first impressions it does not stand out to me, and actually like a modification of the petshop modular from 8 years ago. Sure the colours are different but nothing really stands out. I think it looks like Lego went on a safe route and went back to tried and tested stuff. Yes I think corner garage was an interesting idea to the modular line but seemed like the final outcome wasn't really well received. We can't make everyone happy.

Magnum Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Looks like Friends made a modular! It’s nice but nothing special or new. But I’ll wait till I see the inside before I make my final conclusion. Do I see two base plates!? Pet shop 2.0 Edited December 6, 2019 by Magnum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul_delahaye Posted December 6, 2019 Might have already been said but it’s on 2 baseplates just like the old pet shop was so we have two 16 wide modulars again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, and I do think the bookstore façade looks rather plain, not nearly as sophisticated as PR for example. And don't get me started on the color of the house on the right.. Personally, I think would have preferred something more in line with the american style buildings like DO and CG, maybe some cast iron period building.
