Beautiful building, congratulations. Lots of beautiful details. But those fat, rounded cactus.... I'm in love with them. So clever.
-
Beyond amazing. Beyond mind-blowing. Beyond jaw dropping. ¡Bravo! PS. As I can see you are located in Spain, también te puedo decir: he flipado, es increible.

Holy cow.

Huge fan of your MOCs. You own a unique personal style, instantly recognizable. Congrats once again.

Agree the majority, I like it very much. Also agree with all those who say that looks like a MOC, although this statement isn't a negative thing anymore, as MOCers have become professional in the past years, their creations are impressive, being so hard for LEGO to come up with something original that we haven't seen before (and with the additional burden of piece count, retail price etc that MOCers don't have). Anyway, one question I haven't seen yet: what about the car contest? When it will be available? Any news on the winner? It will be a limited purchase, or free gift.. anyone has any details? Thanks in advance ;)

I admire your work, and I've always loved this model, so I really hope it will get approved. Congratulations and good luck!

I'm on the "I like it" side. Not my favorite but a very nice addition to my city. I don't need every modular to be a groundbreaking design. I think this is a very nice depiction of an old kinda industrial area building. American, European? Well, certainly, the gas station looks American, but I've seen lots of similar buildings where I live, in Spain. Anyway, who really cares about it? Cities are always a nonsensical mix of different architecture styles, that's the charm of it. I like the fact that it is just one building, the color scheme looks good to me. I don't care about the sparse interiors, as I never open them to play with, I REALLY don't care about the fact that a Veterinary has his office upon a Gas Station (c'mon, it's Lego, who cares about these things?. And even if you care, it's sooo easy to MOD it). Agree with what some others have already said: I understand and respect that lots of people don't like it, but we should behave like adults and not insult designers for this or that. Lego is just a hobby, let's not take things so seriously. We are not forced to buy it, so, If you don like it, don't buy it. The only bummer for me is the bump on the price. I think €200 it's too much.

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

Police Station, uh? -
Amazing. Do the minifigs move like in the video? I still haven't got the Carousel, The Dinner, Ninjago city, that Sancta Sanctorum set... And now this... I just can't keep track with Lego anymore... (no pun intended).
-
Amazing. Love the use of old parts/stickers. Congratulations.
-
Agree. That's why you'll have to do a second version of this beauty with no 32x32 restrictions. ;)
-
Perfect as it is, I still feel this needs a second floor. Anyway, beautiful building. Congrats.
-
Fantastic. This curved corner is what I had in mind since I first saw it. Regarding the additional accent color, I was also wondering, so I've just done a quick photoshopping. It doesn't look bad at all to me. (Hope you don't mind).

Happy New Year, Mr. XXL. I would suggest to break the simmetry in some points, probably not adding a second staircase. And definitely, not adding a second sign. I think the facade will 'breath' better. If you decide to add the second sign, maybe pizza is not the best idea, as a '50's diner don't get along well with pizzerias. How about JIMS? JIMS DINNER.
-
I don't like it either, it's too big, looks out of place. But, how about placing it on the roof? I've been thinking in that solution since I first saw it. I will definitely try that.
-
^^^This.

Fishing Store. Also, Assembly Square & although I don't own it yet, NinjaGo City. Yellow Submarine (is it from 2017) is another one I like.

I'm working on it.

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

Looking better and better. Not totally sold on the 'Dinner' sign. It's too big, big enough to practically cover the first storey windows. I'll try to place the 'dinner' sign on the roof, it might look better. Not sure, though. -
I really like the idea of having to bays, but can't help to think that the door in the middle, and the bays on the sides, would look better. Just a thought. Anyway, very nice job.

One more vote. I love this building.
-
This is amazing. Love the grey archs section on the side of the building. Hats off, mister.

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

At first glance, I totally agree with you both, although I think we have to wait til we see the official images. I also think the car looks quite bulky. I like the idea behind, but I feel it doesn't work. About the building, I love the art deco section of it, the ground floor looks great, but yeah, upper floors doesn't look too exciting, and the roof decoration doesn't match the deco vibe of the curved main section. It's a weird combination of architecture styles. Also think the 'D' on the Dinner sign looks too big. I'm not a fan of oversized versions of the modulars by combining two or more sets, I like them the way they are, but I feel this may be the first time I will consider to buy two and mirror the building, as I feel the "jukebox section" will make more sense if placed in the middle of a symetric building. -
Hats off.
