Check out Bob De Quatre's review of LEGO Friends set 41684 - Heartlake City Grand Hotel in the Town forum.

Let's get back to discussing the modular and not shipping issues to the UK.

Here you go.

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Rick replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
Haha, I guess it could also be a sign we're halfway. The next decade of modulars will have their pins on the left. But given the new road system that was introduced, I think this may signal the end of the baseplate for the modular line as well. -

I have not built mine yet, but I cannot believe I didn't read that in any review yet. I guess it could be interpreted as a sign of Lego switching to plates for the base of the modulars after all. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

If you want a certain modular, get it within three years. Anything else seems based on commercial success or inventory. Fire Brigade was the first set to stick around much longer than it "should have" and get additional production runs, if I recall correctly. -
Lego City 2021 Rumours, information and discussion
Rick replied to Powered by Bricks's topic in LEGO Town
I've been keeping an eye on this discussion for a while and considered stepping in a couple of times when I feared it would get out of hand. You are free to share your opinions here and I by no means mean to shut anyone up or single anyone out, but please keep it civilised. It looks like there are some people with pretty strong opinions on both sides of the argument and, as an outside observer, I don't see either side convince the other. I don't think it should necessarily be the purpose of a discussion thread to make people change their mind. Please keep that in mind when replying. Anyway, enjoy the holidays everyone. -

It eats up quite some parts though to make them stand-alone buildings. -
Lego City 2021 Rumours, information and discussion

Given that the road plates are supposed to tie the town together, I'm a bit surprised that so many slope pieces instead of extra 2 x 4 tiles (to connect the sets) are provided with the sets. If you own a couple of these sets, you end up with many spare slopes quite quickly. -
If only LEGO would have held a "build a classic police" car last year. Looks great.

It is slightly different. The new piece does not have studs on top. -
I wonder why you think this addition was necessary after the two reminders I posted asking everyone to discuss the set itself? I also asked for a friendly discussion and while I realise that, not being a native speaker myself, I may miss some subtleties of the English language here and there, I don't think the word "whiner" has many friendly connotations. If you feel further discussion about this is necessary, you can PM me.

They spoke about that in the reveal video. Three (four if you count the kiosk) different facades create some variation in the modular street. They started doing this with Brick Bank and Detective's Office, by the way. I guess it prevents a row of 32-wide "blocks" on a street.

I appreciate that some replies were prepared as I was posting this, but please, discuss the set itself here and keep it friendly. Thank you.
