Einfach unglaublich! Ich fass es nicht - ein tolle Kunstwerk, ja! Das gehort in einem muzeum, auf jeden Fall! Mach weiter, Jasper Joppe! :)Du bist ein Genie! [simply unbelievable! I can not believe it - a great work of art, indeed! This belongs in a museum, definitely! Go on, Jasper Joppa! :) You're a genius!]

Good God,'Leg Godt Gud'! What a pleasantly-looking busy city, tucked in some mountainous valley (made of attic-wood?) and looking christmassy every day! I like it.

At first glance I thought the bag was a Jedi hood! Thanks for the review - succinct and clear shots. Will head down to Metrotown or possibly the TRU near Surrey for this.

The price's a definite pinch in the wallet for sure. Although I'll take two of these IF two of these can be modified for a minifig-size tower-bridge layout. A friend stacked two Eiffel towers together and the result is impressive.

You can't miss it; it's on a stand-alone shelf together with some hoth battle packs and the Toy Story Army Men (which, by the way, was on discount at 9.99 or 10.99). It's facing the check-out counters and to the left when you enter the store, and just in front of the Nerf guns.

Well they're back on the shelves today just only at Metropolis TRU. I came, saw two fresh boxes, had NOBODY to compete with, and spent some fifteen good minutes to get one complete set. Talk about a stroke of good luck! Me happy!

I chanced upon two boxes of those minifig packets in TRU Metropolis in Vancouver. I was being polite to the couple who were ahead of me and hogging the shelf for quite some time, so I walked around, only to find all of them GONE later. Sheesh. BTW, the Lego city yellow truck is out in TRU Whalley today, just in case if anyone's looking for it.

And why is it that you're still not reporting for duty to Billund yet? Ausgezeichnet!

Wonder if anyone can photoshop all the modular buildings side by side with the emporium in it? Hmm.

When I saw the review, almost immediately I knew I was going to write something about it. This castle was my first LEGO set that I can truly remember in all its glory. I was eight years old and did well enough in the final year exams in school that year. That very same evening after I showed them the report, Mum and Dad went out and brought home a big wrapped-up box; I ripped it open, and almost immediately stared beyond the crushed wrapping paper in a moment of child wonderment. I remembered happy hours building and rebuilding the castle for the nth times, and it even had a spot in the small tv cabinet for guests to gawk at - a historic moment, really, since it was really a toy - my LEGO - on the same pedestal as other significant paraphernalia. I was very proud of my built, but more so because it was such a big, visible set with so many minifigures. We moved houses a couple of times after that, and sadly the whole thing could have been thrashed out amidst other black bags of unwantedness. Thanks to this surprise of a review, I am going to scout around for this set, and hopefully relive those happy memories with another eight year-old kid this time around - my son. :) Eurobricks always make my day.

EXCEPTIONALLY BRILLIANT. The buildings looked like they were churned out from seasoned hands down from the deep dungeons in Billund. Genius is really an understatement - you've nailed it, kind sir. These buildings are icons - proof that sublime artisans such as yourself exist to provide that extra dimension from the yearly modular sets. Which leads only to the next right thing : what about coming up with a step-by-step instructions for all of us? An inventory list would be great to start things off. I, for one, am shameless to admit that I intend to copy your buildings for my own esoteric brick-pleasure. Well done, sir! :)

My first impression of the potted plants were a pair of overgrown cacti that would have left a prickly experience at the entrance. :) Either than that, the choice of colours were amazing - brown does really stand out in some surreal ways. Maybe you can put it beside GG (predominantly green) and MS (mostly blue) and see whether the overall setting is seamless. CC and FB should be placed further away from this department store - their brown elements will not do justice to your magnificient creation. Just my two cents.

I knew it would only be a matter of time till someone posted a modular version of this. And I'm glad you did. :) It really is something. One more level with those full-height white windows, and I think we got a winner. The sloping roof might appear inconsistent besides other modular buildings though, but there's nothing that can't be fixed. Good job!

Mine would a city set-up with an outdoor star wars museum featuring a tie fighter, an x-wing and landspeeder. There will be lots of stormtroopers with civilian heads walking around the place, and further up is the cinema from Town Plan screening the Original Trilogy, with a civilian-head Boba fett selling the tickets, and the royal guards guarding the entrance. The queue to the screening, of course, will be a mixture of all things aliens and humans - a wretched hive of scum and villainy. :)

I think another variation of Market Street (same size but with a new colour scheme and architecture) would be a great temporary relief till another another big one ala-Fire-Brigade comes along. Lego, are you listening?
