    I had a very strange but large mess up in my instructions. At the end of bag 12 there’s two pages of bag 13 before we’re told to open bag 13. That aside, it was a fun build. The entrance was my favorite part of it. I don’t even mind the blue as much as I did in the pictures. Still bummed about the dark red not being dark blue...even so much so that on the drive home I was considering changing it, but that’s a lot of color swapping. I think it looks fine dark red though.

    I’d say that fits Garmadon perfectly. If anything is shark themed, it definitely has to be him.

    Excellent. I called ahead & asked but was met with a not so confident response, but rolled the dice anyways. And there it was sitting on the shelf. It was definitely weird communication somewhere in the line.

    Garmadon in space.

    Where did you see it confirmed to be online only for the 1st? I searched & found two reviews(brickarchitect & brickfanatics) that state it’s online and in store.

    Very cool, you captured him & his stance perfectly.

    While I’m also not getting the Hideout day one, I’m saving the Elephant mech for the polybag. It’s probably going to have a $75 buy in...judging by LEGO’s stupidly high thresholds lately.

    Tradition is going to the store for the Modular. I’m very impatient waiting for LEGO but the Modular will at least distract me for most of the wait. A shame for sure...us MK fans are doomed to wait for the mail. Is Leceister store near you at all? Reasonable distance? With little hope I will be calling ahead just in case they accidentally got a shipment in.

    I’m pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but has anyone heard about these being sold in stores again with the next wave? It feels stupid to have to order the new Monkey Mech about 12 hours before I head to the LEGO store to buy the Modular.

    I wonder if the jazz club being smaller took a hit because they don’t do bars. I feel like a 32x32 would’ve been hard to fill without a bar. I mean, just more tables & chairs? Even though they’ve done pubs before...but those were fantasy types. A bigger stage with a more filled out band could’ve been good. Nonetheless, I like your idea of having the donut & pizzeria being together as split buildings. It’s definitely time we see a true single use building again. The City one from a few years back was really well done & it wasn’t even a full baseplate. A three story, single use 32 baseplate would work great. The dark red bellhop came in 60200 Capital City set.

    That doesn’t make sense though. By the time this hits shelves the Bugle will have been out for what...a year & a half(give or take). I suppose the overlap could’ve been an issue, but I just don’t see it. I believe in the video you posted that he said other designers commented on the dark blue color & it was changed because of that. I wish I didn’t even know that dark blue was there first...

    After seeing pictures of the real thing & not the render, the blue doesn’t look as bad. It’s a shame, per the interview, that dark red was originally dark blue. It would’ve paired better with the bottom floor blue & wouldn't make it stick out so much.

    That’s how it’s always been though. The interiors of appropriate businesses nevertheless have enough seats. There’s two tables inside PR, two booths inside DD, 6 seats inside PC. We’re never going to get accurate sized interiors. Couldn’t have put it better myself. It’s copy n paste year after year. This. I saw the angled look of it from the box and I find it more flattering. That blue is still too much though.

    The set isn’t being received badly here...like pretty much every Modular(any set really), there’s a varying degree of those who like it(good to great, like to love & everywhere in between), and mostly so, and there are those few who don’t. You’re just reiterating what the other commenter said...that TLG is doing this leak because they know the set isn’t bad. I prefer to give designers more credit. There’s always changes or thresholds that are to be met, but just because the entirety of their vision wasn’t realized means they’re back embarrassed by the set. And just because people don’t like it doesn’t mean the designers are embarrassed by it. It just reminds me of the video Marcos Bessa put out after the Hogwarts Express Collector’s Edition was revealed.

    I thought maybe she was from a previous Modular. Since the lime torso’d woman from the Boutique Hotel is there but the set isn’t. So yeah, this set must come with 8. That’s quite a high number. A others have said, a more complete band would’ve been nicer. Someone has. There was a comment of the reason why LEGO has waited so long is because they’re embarrassed by it. Very well could’ve been a joke, but still. Designers aren’t safe when people don’t like a set, so it’s hard to tell.

    First impressions are, I love it! I’m happy we’re seeing more buildings on one baseplate, even at the expense of square footage. Like the Police Station, having multiple buildings(set back from each other too) adds a nice view to a Street & makes it look more alive. The blue on the bottom of the jazz club is an interesting choice...but we’ll see. The stand up bass is nice & I'm digging the singer, as far as I can see her at least. Bring on hi-res photos!

    For someone complaining about our collective speculating, you’re in here posting more than anyone...trying to be funny. We get it, you think it’s dumb & we’re dumb, so leave it be & go look at another thread.
  18. Vindicare
    Yeah, I wasn’t very impressed by the builds in the Calendar this year. And with the price jump, it made it worse. For me, they’re really gonna have to step up the minifg prints next year if they’re gonna go micro builds again.
  19. Vindicare
    Well, you said we haven’t gotten any in any sets in two years that you remember. Just refreshing your memory.
  20. Vindicare
    That would be funny, yet annoying. Especially if they teased the build up of the reveal....then it was just the date of when they’re going to. Seeing mention of the Singapore Comic Con it got me thinking that one was revealed there...thinking it was the Boutique Hotel, I searched. It wasn’t...but it was revealed on the 6th. So hopefully we’ll get it sooner rather than later.

    Thanos was in a set that was released second half of last year, Avengers Endgame Final Battle. As well as Sandy in his Power Loader that was also released in the second half of the year.

    Your town must be inspired by Doc Brown....no roads. Despite that..it looks very neat. I like all the variety in your 16’s. It adds a lot of life to the streets.

    I love & hate this time. The fun(and frustrating) anticipation of waiting to see it revealed then the agony of having to wait about two weeks before we can finally buy it.
  24. Vindicare
    It’s very frustrating. I remember the first wave being in stores because I was hoping to grab the Warrior Mech on one of the trips. Then after they disappeared I was surprised to see a few sets of wave 2 in one of the other stores I frequent. Seeing as it’s apparently evergreen theme now it’s seems even weirder that it’s not at least sold in LEGO stores. I suppose the sales outside of the Asian market don’t support the move.

    The head is also new, with the printing on the forehead. While I’m bummed Marketplace isn’t a full blown set, I love the polybag. It’s exactly what I pictured & hoped it would be. Too bad LEGO doesn’t have enough faith in this theme to put it in stores, I would love to find this in Target & but multiples.
