So I just finished up my Brickbank that I got for Christmas and I really enjoyed it! I like the look as well as the story with the money laundering. My only real complaint (that I have with every modular) is that I hate that so much goes for the inside when I know I will rarely see the inside of the building . Anyway why all the hate. I normally see that most people say this is one of their least favorites. Just curious as to why?

I come here primarily to see Modulars and Winter Village. I don't have a ton of space so my Modulars are on the book case and Winter Village is my one "Theme" I allow myself ti go crazy with with. I could care less about most of the other stuff. I also love seeing people's set-ups. Ideally sub topics would be great but them I might miss something! I tend to come here every few days and then follow anything that seems interesting.

List of Modular MOC Instructions and Searching for More!
Fenestra replied to LegoModularFan's topic in LEGO Town
I have to give a shoutout not only to this post (as I am one always trying to buy instructions) but also to @mouseketeer. He has a lot of Winter Village Instruction available as well for sell and I have not only bought them but also built from them and they are great! He should be added to the master list if you are able! Sorry just saw this is for modulars! Maybe it would be great to start a Winter Village thread as well. Will see what I can do in a bit! Thanks for the idea! -
I love this! I always love seeing churches in Lego! You don't happen to sell the instruction by chance do you?
-
Hey Guys, While I never participate I love the expand the Winter Village thread every year (I think it's normally a contest). Will this be happening this year or the Christmas Tree is what is going on this year? Just asking. I always love seeing what people are doing to their villages! Thanks!

[MOC] Santa’s Workshop at the North Pole Advent Calendar
Fenestra replied to kjm161's topic in LEGO Town
This is amazing! I would pay for instructions! :) -
Instruction available for sale? (With part list)?
-
So - With my layout I tried to do two main areas - One is the town center and the other is more of a fair area. I have the train running though it and along the front I have a winter Tram- I am running out of space so next year it will be very interesting - Here is what it looks like before the additional of the Lego Winter Train Station and the track in the front - I will take some more pics when I get home -

Thanks everyone for the thoughts - I ended up getting the cottage and then went all crazy and got the Bakery and the Post Office! I am working on my winter layout and I think this will be the final year at my current size as its getting over crowded. I still have a few things that I brinklinked this year to add as well! I will do pics when posted! I've also decides to display it year round on a bookcase next to the modulars (different bookcase). I love it too much to pack it up each year and I don't really have room for a super permanent display but they will be fine on a Ikea Billy! Thanks everyone!

Hi All! The holidays are nearing (I start Christmas season in Early November) and can't wait to start adding and putting out my Winter Village since I got on the band wagon late I am missing a few of the older sets. I have bought some instructions and Brinklinked a few thing (or will be this year anyway), including a church and adding to my train with a couple of new holiday wagons. Any way I am trying to slowly get some of the older sets and am debating between the cottage and bakery. What is your favorite and why? I am personally leaning towards the cottage as I like the way it looks better. Any one else have any thoughts?

[MOD/MOC] Expanding the 10254 Winter Holiday Train

Sorry you had to go though all of this but at least the end result is that it look great! :) -
[MOD/MOC] Expanding the 10254 Winter Holiday Train
Fenestra replied to mouseketeer's topic in LEGO Town
I just recently Bricklinked the Train add-ons and found the Passenger/Gingerbread/Cocoa Wagon to be the most expensive. I held out on the three of those but ordered the pieces of the rest. I add to my village every year with the offical WV and usually some bricklinked items. So I will be holding off. Those wagons referenced above (when I checked) were about 50-100 USD each. The others I managed to get for 15-20 USD each. Also I did a seperate Want List for each of them in Bricklink to help better manage cost and what I was looking for if you are looking for some advice on that end. I hope to start building my soon but if you beat me to it I would love to see some of the pictures. Can you share how you were able to make the Engine and Tender slightly Larger? Also do you know have the battery back in the Engine for weight on the wheels? -
How did you get the sleigh to "fly" this looks amazing! Love it!
-
Thanks for the links - I actually have the plans for both of those and just bricklinked the second one. It was very affordable! I can't wait to have it added to my WV this season! :)
-
Went I Brinklink tonight looking for a church and didn't find anything - Hopefully we will get a link soon!
-
Link? I'd love to add a church!
-
I did the same thing last Christmas and now I am a little sad! I wish there were other Winter Sets like that available! I really want a little country church.

What to Buy Based on Availability (Buy before its gone recommendations)
Fenestra posted a topic in LEGO Town
Hey Guys, I have a list of things I want to buy over the next year (18 months) but don't want to miss out anything. My questions is what is the best order to buy things in (essentially what do I need to buy sooner rather than later). I am also included released and unreleased sets - I am new to this so I am playing some catch up! Here is the list of the planned purchases - Palace Cinema (Modular) Brink Bank (Modular) Assembly Square (Modular) Detective's Office (Modular) Big Ben Tower Bridge Friend's Catamaran (Inside joke for a friend) Old Fishing Hut (Fall) Birmingham Palace (Architecture) Potential New Architecture Sets Winter Village Addition - What order would you buy in? I want to pick up one big (Big Ben or Tower Bridge) or 2 Modular soon and then probably the same in May and then the Winter Village in the fall and maybe one more. I don't think I will be able to get them all this year but don't want to miss out (barely got Pet Shop before it was gone). So thoughts? -
What to Buy Based on Availability (Buy before its gone recommendations)
Fenestra replied to Fenestra's topic in LEGO Town
Quick question - What do you mean by wait for promos - Like wait for April and the VW free mini set? Or is there something else I am missing.... :) -
Hey Guys, I have been working on a very small set-up that would both allow a number of modulars and some city prices as well as my TRAINS! While I have all the trains powered at this point many will not see any action but I am very happy with how it has turned out and already planning my next modular buy!

I love this! Great idea and due to the parts can probably be bricklinked pretty cheap!
-
Just coming across this - Any change of you selling the instructions? How many parts did it take? Love love love this!
-
Tony - Where is your site? I would love to see what you have available for purchase!

I like to buy the instructions because at the end of the day I am not the creative type and I enjoy the placement and arranging of my different elements rather than trying to build something and not really liking the way it looks. I am okay with sometimes modifying something but even then I am one of those types where I like it just the way it is. This Holiday I bought the instructions for some holiday additions to my train as well as the constructibles (http://shop.constructibles.net/) tram and winter train station. I like the instruction to be digital but for me having a way to upload the parts list to Bricklink is a must! I enjoy putting them together, knowing what the result is going to be and then placing it. I really don't enjoy just starting with an idea and trying to make it work. Maybe one day I will get there but I am not there yet!
