The Dutch Guy

When you look what you get, it is not al that expencive. Look at wat ordinary city sets cost. A smal Smart Car will cost you 5 euro, and that is the cheapest model in the line. A simple minifig (collectable or not) 2 euro. Let's face it: Lego is expencive. It's the fun while building that counts. Seeing a model getting bigger and bigger step by step. That's the fun. If you go to a soccer game, you pay top Euro to for about 2 hours of debatable pleasure (but that's of topic)

I see it now. Thanks for explaning.

Thank you Bonaparte for the quick response. Looking even beter than the first glimps. Lots of fine details. One can discuss the lift, but it's a nice feature. The price isn't that much higher than i expected. 180 euro is affordable. Gonna look great in my modular city. I now have a name for the new street i am creating with this modular, it's gonna be placed next to the Cafe Corner on Rathaus Strasse.

I thought it was on the roof of the building with the red slopes

Looks great, now a price to go with it. Gonna cost me an arm and leg i thing, but it is worth it. My own MOC en MOD's still have to wait a little longer.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I love the cakeshop. Having a sweettooth myself, my mouth begins to water at the sight of these cakes. The look delicious. I like the colours of this building to. Have you finished it yet? Seems to me you stoped right in the middle of construction, our dis you just stop with updates? Love to see pictures of the finished house.

Absolutely stunning. I know the original building well, being bron in Amsterdam myself. You did a magnificent effort on creating such a simmular looking building. I must give yoy the highest credit for this. Love it all the way, inside and out. Hope to see more soon.

Wow. This is very wel done. The windows are very beautiful and the interior looks great. Love the `antique` in the store. The other floors are very good to. Love to see more of your work.

Very nice effort SwissBrick. Your first attempt is very pleasing. The front looks very good. Whem i first saw your picktures i was a little confused with the lamppost in the back. Loved to see a little garden there. Great choise of colours. Keep on building and having fun doing so.

Well this is an option. I love how you made this work. The tan version is very pleasing. I am thing of doing something like this myself en include an interior like you did. Very well done. My compliments

Love the school. It looks simple, but has very nice lines. Great choise colour's. "Old School" isn't all that bad, look where it brought me (us). Love to see the ground floor too. Had a teacher like mrs Rottermaier too. Used to knock me on the head with her ring. Mayby is should have paid more attention to her teaching.

Great work. Love te way you used the bricks (colours) that you had. The interieur looks very nice. The bed is the best. Looking forward to your next modular. By the way. The yellow house looks definitly best next to FB.

I was fortunate enough to buy a set for about 250 euro here in Holland. It was juist discontinued by the Lego Group. Had i known sooner about these special sets, i would have bgun to buy them earlier. The can't be bought in the regular toy shops and can only ordered on Internet. (No special Lego shops here, we have to go to Germany to find one). The price you payed for it seems resonable. Never pay $100 for instructions, you can get them in PDF format on the Internet for free. Great work and hope to see an MOC from you soon.

Great buildings and even greater enigines. Love the work you put into them.

GE was fun to build. The revolving door was a nice piece of work. Repetetive as it may be, it looks great in the whole modular street. A superstore like this looks in the real world much the same. I have got Pet Shop yet, but i'm almost there. It's not as high as the other modulars, but i have seen it blend very well in a modular street. All modulars have had something special and i like all. I am very sorry to have missed out on Market Street, but have seen some good ideas here on the forum to build one with other colours. My advise is: Buy them both. First GE and then PS. And have fun building them en seeing the completed.

Love your layout. The town looks spectacular. The palmtrees are great. My favourit is the cinema however. I missed this set (found out to late about these special sets, the can't be bought in the regular toy shops here in Holland) Can't wait to see how the interieur looks like. Hope yoy try your skills on some MOC's to.

Can't recall who said it, but I wish they'd just keep it in the $150 price point. Even if that means lower piece count and slightly less in details. I don't agree. I think details are very important in these modulars. look at GG. It's the best loved modular up until now en has the best details (Cooler in the shop, BBQ on the terras). Money isn't growing on a tree in my garden as well, but i have to be patiant for a little bit longer en save my money so i can buy this magnificent set. The more detail, the better. As long as the price/Bricknumber ratio stays almost the same, it's fine with me.

I love the hospital and think it will fit perfectly with FB. Love the helicopter patch on the roof. Can't wait to see what kind of interieur you come up with. Great effort EM4CZ.

I must agree with L@go here. The 32x32 building looks much better to me than the 16x16. I love the colours you used, although the Sushi sign look better in the smaller building. The Medium blue stands out better in yellow then in the Light gray. The interieur look very pleasing.

I love what you,ve done to CC. It looks very pleasing. It makes me tend to make some ajustments to mine as well. I loke the windowos very much. I always disliked toe 1x2x3 Panels for the windows. replacing them with the ner 1x2x3 windows is an excelent idea. Great work. By the way. How much did it cost you to build it. Was it a lot cheaper than buying the extreemly high priced CC's on Bricklink?

Just think of what you get in comparison with Pet Shop. A whole lot of bricks and hours of building fun. I think the Price is Right. By the way: if the price in the US will be 200 US dollar, than the price in Euro will be less than 200 Euro. I think it will be around 185 Euro.

Very well done. I realy love this. Great use of colours. I agree with the comments that the top floor looks a little to high, but this must be seen when yiou brick it together. Love the GG style windows and front door.

I realy like your effort. It gives me the feeling of CC. I love the way you made use of your own bricks and be creative with them. Love the way it came out. By the way. Welcom in the world of modular building. Love to see what you show us next.

Lego should offer more smaller houses for the Town-Line. Not everyone is able to buy those big and expencive modulars. Beside the point that they can't be bought in the Toy-shops here in Holland and have to be ordered. I myself am a big fan of the modulars, but is see posibilities in smaller houses too as a way to gain bricks for MOC modulars, without paying a lot of money in one time.

Sonicstarlight, i am amazed. These are very beautiful Builds. They are perfect. How do you get your inspiration? So much creativity. And i am sill building the Medevil Village Pub you have mad eto have his place in my Bricksterdam. When i am finished with this, i will certanly begin building one of these, because i am in need of a 16x32 house to fit in next to my Ice Cream parlor on Station Straat. Please keep on building and keep on inspiring guys like me to follow you. Thanks for sharing this with us.
