    Since I started collecting modulars in 2015 (after coming out of my «dark age»), the Bookshop is the first modular that I have ordered on release day.

    I just got it in the mail, and I am very excited to build it. Not building it until the weekend though. Keeping it in the box just a little while longer to enjoy the look and feeling of an unopened lego set :)

    Yeah, they really could do better about revealing the modulars. At least give us a consistent realease date

    Yep. Seems like we just have to wait longer and longer each year.

    Release is tomorrow 12pm European time. Book store is a false flag. It’s a police station

    How do you know that?

    Bookstore eh ?

    Great......I bet another cafe serving coffee with it LOL

    The question is what building style will it be in ?

    My guess would be a more classic building than the previous ones - either a classic European or American bookstore.

    I hope it's filled with secrets and small stories.

    If the rumors of a book shop are true then I think it would work quite well as an old fashioned, second hand style book shop, maybe with an antiques store attached as well. And then a small coffee shop or tea room on the second floor too.

    If not, then I reckon I might use that as the theme of my next moc. :sweet:

    Are there different rumours saying it will be a book shop, or just the previous post about the person who was informed by the local store clerk? ?

    So the price was higher, and was reduced… in other words, the price you're describing is a discounted price.

    The original Norwegian RRP for Assembly Square was 2499.00 Kr, or the equivalent of $285.71 USD. The Norwegian RRP for Corner Garage is 1999.00 Kr, or the equivalent of $228.15 USD. So if the prices you've seen for the Assembly Square in your country are any indication, then two years from now you can probably expect similar markdowns on the Corner Garage!

    Yes, but my point was the value of money. 

    To make a comparison to original RT-price: town hall with more pieces, retail price 1500 NOK. And Parisian Restaurant, the top of the line, 1500 NOK.

    I'm sure you can afford the Corner Garage too.

    Is it expensive to order stuff to Norway? Atleast it is to order From Norway.

    We have a weak currency atm, which is why the prices are so high.  Shipping costs are the same as everywhere else. LEGO sets however are way higher than normal differences in currencies.

    I can afford it, but that means it has to take the place of something else I need and want, e.g. savings for a nice vacation. And it is not worth that, in my opinion :)

    Welcome here my fellow Norwegian HP Lego fan :grin: Usually only once! Have a look at bricklink, you can probably find it at a decent price there :wink:

    It is probably only a matter of time before we get it, but I do not exspect any HP/FB D2C in 2019. It is probably a bigger wave in 2020 with a D2C if we are lucky, in time for the next FB movie :wink:

    Hmm, I hope you are wrong. Getting old by all this waiting ?

    You cannot compare official prices with discounted prices. You don't know what the price of this set will be after a couple of years. You can only compare the price of this set with the official price of AS when it came out. It's still more expensive than AS but less than the picture you are painting.

    Why not? I cannot compare... hmm... Show’s how overpriced it is. And it’s not discounted, it’s a normal retail price? I can now choose between AS and CG, and the first mentioned is cheaper and a whole lot more detailed.
