Just bought a second hand green grocer for a reasonable price. I'm in the process of pulling it apart and cleaning all the pieces. I'm looking at replacing most of the white pieces because they have gone a little browny yellow colour. Also some of the grey pieces aswell. Hopefully most of the white pieces won't be too hard or expensive to find. I think getting new white pieces will make it stand out more. Thankfully the rest of the pieces are ok. Has anyone else replaced their white parts because they were going a yellow colour. It doesn't seem to have affected some parts whereas some are attached to the same thing but is only that brick that has gone that colour. Any thoughts or tips on maybe how to freshen up the white parts

Nice work, like how you put so many different colours onto it

i really want this set, but i think it is too big to put in my house at the moment. I wouldn't mind building it for someone though just to see how this set goes together.

WOW, love the detailing and different suits. Thats a lot of work and effort into customizing each suit. An excellent job!

Is there the big green fridge in the set?

Thanks Sin

If i have a spare haunted house set, would i need to get a lot more bricks to complete this build. Which parts are the more expensive and rare?

I really love this set. Cant wait to get it. Probably need to make a tree and put bart's tree house in the back aswell. An excellent job

A great review. Cant wait to get my one when it comes out over here in Hong kong. Looks like a really fun build.

thanks for welcoming me here. look forward to posting some pics

Return of the urn and a 5-0 whitewash on the way. Love ya work timburdon

Hi All, I'm currently living in Hong Kong (not really part of Europe LOL), was originally from australia. I was looking on the internet for some lego reviews and stumbled upon this site. I seen lots of great reviews and finally decided to join. I've been in the lego dark ages for about 20 years (im 33), so its been a long time. The way i got back into lego was through one day walking past a toys'r'us here in HK and seeing the series 11 gingerbread man minifigure that my wife pointed out (absolutely loves anything to do with gingerbread man). So i started collecting minifigures from all different places. i got the whole series 11 with only 1 double (the lab girl). From there i went on youtube where i was looking at reviews for the minifigures and stumbled on a review on a modular building. It was the pet shop and immediately i wanted it. So that was about 2 months ago. Since then i have bought the emporium, town hall, fire brigade, pet shop and the palace cinema. I've built all of them except the fire brigade because i was hoping i might keep it in the box maybe sell it one day, anyway, i also went and got all five of the winter sets because my wife and i liked them so much. So i was building madly for the last 2 months or so, when suddenly the owner of the store i buy most of my stuff from asked me if i wanted to build a few modulars. so i said sure and built an emporium so far for him. After that i put some photos on my ipad and showed some people and since then i have built all the modulars again, so you could say that i have built about 11 modular buildings recently. i really want to get the green grocer but for the price its going for, it enough to buy a whole new street of the current modulars again. i just recently also added the monster fighters haunted house and Vampyre castle to the collection. My house is quickly running out of room. But really enjoy reading the reviews on sets before i purchase and build them. Looking forward to getting the Parisian restaurant soon. Would also love to get the opera house because it reminds me of australia. Hopefully people here wont mind that i'm not from europe. but i really enjoy the reviews and forums here.
