    Atmospheric. Check. Mystical. Check 70's. Check. Subtle details for enhanced realism. Bonus Check. Amazing and original MOC: Mission accomplished.

    Thank you so much for the in-depth response. You have greatly helped me solidify my decision to buy a good deal of this product line. From your pictures I agree they seem to scale well with the rest of City/Modulars. Rather lengthy vehicles but that does not bother me at all.

    Is it possible to get a picture of the car next to a ordinary city vehicle? I would like to see how well it might integrate with the rest of Lego city. The rear of the vehicle is exceptionally composed. I like it a lot.

    Horrible stereotype. But I think LEGO believes it as I agree Friends is getting a far more diverse array of structures than I am getting with City.

    The LEGO Doc always ripping my exact sentiments out of my head. That grey boat hull also caught my eye for some possible modern ship construction. See to me these comparisons make perfect sense. That "wow" factor I also agree is an important element for gauging the higher ticketed items. Especially when your purpose for these sets are for display only. Although my initial response is negative I too have reversed my opinion in the past upon seeing the set on display in store, in person. I will not deny there is a chance the Helicarrier may sell me yet in that fashion.

    No one forgot anything. Although I will not deny those UCS sets did incorporate certain play features that I thought unnecessary they did not sacrifice exterior aesthetics to implement them. I cannot say the same for this set as they even appear to have sacrificed much for even the possibility of making it swooshable. The undercarriage looks like engineering for weight reduction. Final point being displayed next to a UCS Slave 1 or Executor this set would best be described as awkward.

    As much as I wanted the LEGO Helicarrier, this is not even remotely what I was hoping for. Seems like another case of where LEGO design has difficultly determining whether to launch a kid set or an adult one. Trying to do both continually makes these awkward sets with a high price but low adult model display value. Something with the philosophy behind the UCS Slave 1 or Executor would have done well here.

    Metallic gold tiles, yes. I wouldn't worry much about this thread, I am sure it will be flooded with posts when the sets start appearing in stores or more cars are announced. I'm personally more of a fan of BMW GT cars and the Lamborghini Aventador/Reventón. As far as Mclaren is concerned I would take the F1 GTR or even the MP4-12C over the P1 anyday.

    Me. Also a minifig scaled one.

    Hahaha. The sarcasm is very effective.
  11. Moebius118
    I am looking forward to seeing how people modify these sets to have them integrate seamlessly into a City layout.
  12. Moebius118
    Is that one of the Friends there to bail out another Friend? That's what friends are for right? Hahaha

    Those are some giant dolls. Might be quite creepy if it was a real life concept. Excellent idea and execution of a modular however..
  14. Moebius118
    Did that cat scale a palm tree? That is epic. I also got a good laugh out of that Posh store, I actually really like that modular as a 2 story.
  15. Moebius118
    Talos, even with that limited space you had to work with, you have captured what I feel to be the true spirit of what The Highlander and the building as a whole should have been. It really does appear as a whole and complete establishment now. Praise to your excellent presentation of a bar.
  16. Moebius118
    I really should implement a similar sort of plan. Stagger my Lego purchases better then conveniently forget about modulars for stretches of months. Maybe easier to do if information isn't leaked but speculating is just too fun. Or a certain UCS Helicarrier will materialize this year and help ease the pains. I find your production and design lead time expectations believable as well.
  17. Moebius118
    Does anyone think TLG would ever increase the modular creations to more than once a year? Now that the DO is out and fresh, it kind of kills me to consider I've got another year to the next one.
  18. Moebius118
    Right, cause hearing the same "I love this modular" over and over again is meaningful and non repetitive. You like it? Just go buy one! Same logic. See how it doesn't work? No one appreciates someone trying to shut down half the conversation. If you got better things to do then by all means, do them.
  19. Moebius118
    This statement right here I think is the most potent and pivotal summary argument regarding the DO and many of us AFOLs. Hahaha LEGO apologists. Sounds a lot like a certain Eurobricks environment as well.
  20. Moebius118
    What a load of baloney. Maybe the next modular should be a meat market then I can buy it.
  21. Moebius118
    I'm back from my own DO build and I gotta say my opinion of it has somewhat improved after owning it up close in person. The build was pleasantly varied and the presentation of the final structure will pass for all my purposes. The "play feature" will continue to annoy me as I know I will never have a use for it and the appalling difference in size from the Gen1 modulars limit its placement in my layout. Now where are we on generating more hype for the bank modular again? Here's to hoping they give the bank more of a structural presence than a fictional one.

    Guys we all know LEGO can only do the following. Harbor Police Airport Police Construction Police Arctic Police Diver Police Fire Police Police Police Take your pick.
  23. Moebius118
    Space. No wait a minute...
  24. Moebius118
    My hope is that this growing critical response will instigate a movement back to what we are calling Gen1 modular features. I do kind of gauge that there was not this level of negativity surrounding the release of earlier modulars although DO more or so confirmed our fears put in by PR. However, I do not think the sales of the DO will reinforce our pleas for a return to the original modular scheme as we are all likely to get at least one anyway. Once again my LEGO addiction betrays me.

    Forget exploring space and ocean. I want to discover whatever this is. Set curiosity to MAXIMUM.
