    Do you mean another than the one I mentioned above?

    I really liked the design of Bricked1980's Brick Square Post Office, but thought it would look too much out of place next to other modulars, because it is also VERY Brtitsh. But it wouldn't look out of place any more... ;-) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-22101/Bricked1980/brick-square-post-office/#details I saw a reviewer on Youtube mentioning that it was quite expensive to part out though. He spent a whopping 1100 pounds on parts!!!

    I really don't get what people have against the Jazz Club. I really like it, the whole night club entertainment vibe. It's in my top 5 actually. Parisian Restaurant has been my number 1 for years. But this new one has a fighting chance to take the top spot. The most convincing evidence (to me at least) that this is the real deal, is that it features the new flower elements introduced in the Ideas Botanical Garden. It seems very unlikely to me that a MOC builder would have already incorporated these pieces in such a way. Not impossible, but unlikey.

    I just saw Bricksie's latest video and solves that question. It looks better next to the 3 in 1's, but still looks small...

    Same year as the Cafe Corner. ;-) Time sure flies...

    The Botanical Garden is the real bonus modular. The scale is absolutely perfect and the details (both interior and exterior) are amezing! It's missing the light bluish gray curb, lamppost and pins, but that's more a positive than a negative. It's better to build a park around it, than to place it in a street next to other builidings. Ironically the same could be said for the X-Mansion: it would function better as a standalone. That one has the connectivity, but it only detracts from the building. I would be curious to see it in a Creator 3 in 1 lay-out. It would propably look quite alright next to the 'mini-modulars' and/or as a achool next the 3 in 1 houses. The sclae of one of the alternate builds from set 4954 come to mind.

    I think the Daily Bugle out of all the Marvel Modulars scales the best with the core modulars, because of the height of the floors. It's the only one out of those sets that I own and (as a bonus) it pairs very nicely with the Modular Construction Site from the BDP for an intersting downtown skyline. Even though it only has four floors, it has a real presence, without overwhelming the other buidings. I also have the original Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown and that building scales a lot better to the likes of a Pet Shop and Book Shop. Although I had to alter the details to make make it more polished and 'prettier' next to the other modulars.

    That's the exact reason why I didn't get the Sanctum: the floors are way too short, the scale is completely off. Same thing seems to be the case here with the new Marvel 'modular'. I too find the exterior on the X Mansion way too plain. At least the Sanctum had a more detailed exterior.

    Just checking. I didn't get the impression you implied it was a modular. I just couldn't figure out straight away which set you were referring to. ;-) The second line was supposed to be a new post (not a reply to your message), but the messages got automatically merged.

    Gorillas? Do you mean the Jungle Explorer Helicopter? As far as 'real' modulars go: Brick Cross Station also will be shipped in a couple of weeks to those who pre-ordered. The last modular compatible building from the BDP...

    I saw the video, but I was wondering if he is the only one reporting the date change or have there been other sources as well. He is usually pretty well informed but I always thought that he picked up information from other online sources for his video content.

    I was hoping the change was permanent, in order to take advantage of the Holiday season. On the other hand realeasing the new modular after Christmas has it's advantages. If, like me, you want some big Icons/Ideas set for Christmas, you'll buy one for Christmas to scratch that itch and then on January 1st you'll buy the modular. Double profit for Lego. If the modular would be released on December 1st I'd be less inclined to make a major purchase on January 1st.

    Yep, saw this too. What is the basis for this rumor? Has this changed date been posted on other fora as well?
  14. cdmv
    Good to know, thanks!

    So are the set numbers wrong then? Will Big Ben be set 10252?
  16. cdmv
    Wouldn't the Beetle be released first though? The Beetle is set nr. 10252, Big Ben 10253. Wouldn't it be very odd to release 10253 before 10252? There will be an exclusive VIP release on the 15th of June, chances are that will be 10252 I think.
  17. cdmv
    Thanks for your reply. It would be sad if they've been dropped. Along with the modulars, they are the sets I look forward to the most. Let's hope that it is not true and that we'll be seeing one in Q3 2015 :-)

    I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but I'm not speculating about the new City train, but about the new Advanced or Creator Expert train. Shouldn't there be one getting a released this year? Another forummer said that it would be due in Q3 of this year. That just seems like a long gap between these train releases. So since 10249 is a Winter Village set it should be something like set 10251 in november, if the rumour is true. I'm wondering what the logic behind this decision is, since the EM, Maersk and HE were all released much earlier in the year.

    Well, a Creator Expert train is bound to be an Exclusive is it not? So will it be released in november/december? Still it is strange that the HE has been retired so soon. Why would TLG want a 10 month gap without an Creator Expert train. Poor sales of the HE?

    On this list, no train is mentioned: January: 75069 Slave 1, 10246 Detective’s Office February: 76042 Avenger’s Helicarrier (VIP Only) March: 76042 Avenger’s Helicarrier (Public release) April: 71016 Simpson’s Kwik-E-Mart (VIP Only) May: 75059 UCS TIE Fighter, 71016 Simpson’s Kwik-E-Mart, 10247 Ferris Wheel June: 10247 Ferris Wheel July: 10248 Ferrari F40 August: 70751 Ninjago Temple September: 70751 Ninjago Temple.
