LOL I wasnt sure either! I thought there was a year where it didn't get closed down. Thanks @Anonknee Muss for confirming that. Yeah wasn't it? For a little while there at least right? Williejm, Anonkee Muss know? Was that this year?

Such a warm and cozy design and the imagery is excellent. Great subject matter as well. Very much in the style of an official set and also very original with fantastic construction. Your roof design is especially noteworthy and lovely. Wonderful MOC through and through!

Edited because moved from original topic.

In years past they close B&P down around this time for the holiday surge to prioritize customer service replacement parts right?

That's the holiday spirit.

Fantastic build here! Really like the sand/earth green building with the white accents. Excellent window designs; the black lattice piece and 2432 clamps as windows. The rounded stair connection looks really interesting and that is one heck of a great mansard roof. You work is always great and this is a beautiful addition!

Oh thank you so much. I think the castaway and beekeeper are my favorites. Two of the best occupations.

I must be the only one who wants to see the pics but won't go to that place to see them because I dislike that place so much. Pirate canon

Very nice work. I always like seeing modulars with brighter 'classic' Lego colors since they're so rarely used. The tan building's facade is very elegant and the technic piece for the tiled roof is a nice technique. Well done.

Fantastic work Snaillad! I stared at this for a while when you first posted it to flickr. Absolutely wonderful construction. The way you create a build that looks like its perfectly sliced locale is something else and your settings are always so lively. Great MOC!

Fantastic scenes you've made here. The edges of hot tub vignette are very nice and its such a clean creation throughout the whole thing. Superb winter feel you've designed!

Thanks! I wanted to give the roof a more worn look as doing all the same piece was a little less realistic since that type of roof tile often has slight color variations between the tiles. Glad you like the car, I feel like the red got kind of blown out in the photos and lost subtle detail. Thanks Luke! Thank you Kai! I used to prefer showing the buildings without figures until I realized the scene looks so dead without them. Its a bit of work to get some of the poses to balance properly so glad you appriciate the effort! Thank you Saillad! Thank you, I thought that was the weaker of the two designs so I'm relieved you like it! Thank you Jalemac34! I love all of your builds; its nice to have great builders like a creation back.

Excellent examples. Its known as "infill" in architecture. Filling in a narrow or less than 'ideal' land plot between two existing buildings or as in some of your examples making two buildings into one by removal of walls but keeping the exterior facade.

Curious as well. Possible hypothetical explanations: Maybe they already had 4,485,215 on-hand of: And only 177,934 of: and or other sets also in-production were allocated the latter and couldn't use the former due to their construction (whereas Iron mech's hands can despite the aesthetic), or they did it to reduce the number of different bins that pieces must be picked from to assemble these sets.

What if we're neither but still think its fantastic? Seriously great work, I think its better than all the speed champions sets so far. Especially like that it uses the city wheel arches/fenders as the SC ones can be a bit restrictive. Most excellent work on the shape and scale for a perfect recreation.

We don't normally get funny stuff around Town, please stay and create more threads like this.

Concrete, travertine and tuff evidence that this construction is liked and desired. Well done designers. There are builders that appriciate your work, expertise, vision and dedication to creating, inspiring others and playing well; even if they aren't always present in online discussions or sometimes drowned out by those who would rather befoul all that is this ardor. The majority of builders leg godt.

Yeah I didn't mean it as like you or them were wrong, safe bet that they just misspoke/switched them up. They handle so many calls its understandable. Thats a bummer. Always like having yellow hands around to convert fleshies.

Other way around: When will my parts be delivered?

I never insulted your intelligence, education, mental health or cognitive abilities like you did towards me. So gaslight and pull that victim card.

They have been using personal attacks over multiple posts throughout this thread. insulting intelligence by saying one is incapable of holding an educated discussion saying one is delusional/has delusions multiple usage of attacks on cognitive bias, incompetence, ie 'stupid' What do these personal attacks have to do with discussing the topic at hand. Nothing. They were told by you to cease and yet they continued again, mentioning me with @ and repeating the same personal attack. One can say whatever they dislike about it, but is doing so with cruel abusive language repeatedly suggesting lack of intelligence the way? You told them to cease. You also told them not "to attack other members for not agreeing". They continued. Insulting intelligence, insinuating a lack of education, saying one is delusional, implying that one is stupid; if the attacks are not removed as per the rules of the site...

This is why he keep saying Dunning Krueger effect in response with mentions at one specific member repeatedly: "Colloquially, people experiencing this bias are said to be "on Mount Stupid" . It is a personal attack, an insult, no ambiguity.

Dang Exetrius this is really awesome! Lol at the flag joke. Great designs. I never really considered these outside of the original pieces included but your designs here are so great and there's so much possibility. The black band is also the one that looks best as a base. Excellent designs and presentation, very inspiring.
