    Me too, up until late last night (this morning) and finally had someone on the phone at 09:00, telling me it would be released at 10:00.. ordered at 10:02 Swiss time and now sold out as well.. Will definitely need to enlarge my theme park area and see how it goes next to the "previous" haunted house ;)

    As a Police Station, we got the Detective Office, with Laundromat to wash dirty money.. which was targeting AFOLS conceptually and TFOLS/Kids with play features.. And yes we got the Fire Brigade, in another style than City, old truck, table tennis etc.. but I don't think they will go that way for a Police Station, it's been years that AFOLS request/wish for it and did not happen.. so I guess, as previously stated that they will go for a more unexpected set approach. Also, if we speak about sushi restaurant we have the Ninjago city - modular friendly set - , so I don't think this will occur neither.. And I agree, back to Europe, perhaps Italian style is a good probability..

    @cimddwc, @LEGO Train 12 Volts, @KotZ @Vindicare, @Kristel& @Chilis Thank you very much for your advice! Not yet an island, but as soon as I have the additional table, so will it be! Many thanks again for your thoughts and care, much appreciated! Possibilities explored: IMG_6524 IMG_6525 IMG_6534 IMG_6526 But yes, definitely need another table...

    Thanks a lot for your answers! I tried them all.. and now I have to place the VESTA's wind turbine as well.. I guess the only solution would be to add another table, make a desert space, place the wind turbine in the greenery.. Anyhow, will share the different options as soon as I have the new table. THANK YOU for your insights and advise!

    Dear EB members, I need your help! Just finished the Apocalipseburg det, but not sure where to place it? Next to the beach, at the end, in the middle of the water? Any feedback is welcome! Thanks a lot in advance:

    Wow! The tower reminds me my home country capital clock..: https://www.google.com/search?q=berne+horloge&rlz=1C5CHFA_enCH828CH828&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiL2-y-if3fAhWH2KQKHcs2CkMQsAR6BAgAEAE&biw=1478&bih=911#imgrc=UWZN2xG8U6xfrM: Thanks for sharing & inspiring, great job!

    Love it! From bottom to top! Especially the roof with the "pines", I always struggle to make it somehow original, while standing out from the other modulars, and yet look realistic... well you've done a fantastic job! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
  9. SwissBrick
    Wow, very realistic! Only missing the "squared" shirts :-) Well done and thanks for sharing and inspiring!

    Love at first sight! Supported, and thanks for inspiring! @BrickyBoy where did you see it next to DD? Thanks and all the best, hope you will pass the 10k supporting!

    Like almost always, not a love a very first sight, but after seeing the designer video, it grew on me, much faster than with DD.. Plus, we were a lot to complain that we were missing massive buildings and were missing the initial modulars, complaining about the play feature not needed, or having too big hands to get into the building.. I believe TLC has listened to that feedback and I am happy they did! It will be a great addition, bringing diversity and another bigger height modular - what about adding a couple of extra floors So in my mind, the price increase is justified, as it pleases the ones complaining about the reduced size modulars, while keeping others happy with the interior play features and details.. And I really like the 45 degrees angle as well, nice building techniques upfront! Also I can't agree more with @Aanchir regarding the ground floor titling, there is so much in the front, and a garage, well unless it is retail garage, does not have clean and tiled floors IMO.. Merci Lars Joe!

    Where is the hidden snake?
  15. SwissBrick
    Hello @ncx, can't we be a bit more relaxed.. I am open to any opinion, but c'mon, @jonahtron has a fair point too. Anyhow, being it a garage (I hope but I doubt..), I agree to the fact that a different designer for each modular would be great. I know some people disliked the Town Hall, but it brought diversity. No modular will please everyone (except PR and CC and GG, joking of course), so the most diverse ideas, the most disruptive designs, the more brains working on it.. will lead to a better lifespan of the line.. And if any doubt, yes TLG is listening to their consumers, that's a given, so I would not worry too much about the next one

    Hi @Mosse1997, I really like the idea! Would solve both issues, footprint/Modular height/size/Parking space and the parts used for the cars.. Unfortunately, not sure they would do so, as you would not see the "behind the scenes with the cars" in most modular layouts. But I really like that kind of thinking, thanks for the inspiration!
  17. SwissBrick
    Fully agree, great idea! Never thought of that, could easily combined with a nice combo - I let you choose - and actually yes, it would fit any age range, depending on how LEGO designs it.. Thanks @AFOLguy1970, at least it illuminated my day and helped to be more patient before the official announcement! I am puzzled between waiting or buying the vestas wind turbine.. but I guess I'll wait
  18. SwissBrick
    Very nice @stratyd, would have never thought of building one and the render is just superb! Lots f nice details and for once, I like the use of stickers, it brings added value, well done and thanks for inspiring!

    Well technically speaking you have the Lego Ninjago City and Docks sets that are Asian looking style and compatible with modulars.. But yes, it is not quite a "Chinatown" district.. but who knows.. There must be some sort of harmony in a modular town, but as we saw, between DD and CC, there is a great deal of differences.. I transformed with instructions PC into a small "kind of" chinese looking build..: https://www.brickcitydepot.com/CB024/four_stars_comedy_club We will definitely be surprised, unhappy, excited, dissapointed and finally very happy to build the 2019 modular in any case! Also, if you missed the Ninjago city integration in a modular layout:
  20. SwissBrick
    Wow @Huaojozu, looks very promising! Did you only use the parts included in the set? Looking forward to the finished build and integration in your city! Many thanks for inspiring and please keep us posted!
  21. SwissBrick
    Great ideas, will try that! Thanks!

    Hey @carebear, you are right!! There are some burglars hidden, kids with broken legs, and no police or ambulance to catch thieves nor taking care of emergency situations (my son loves to simulate car accidents or Ninjago attacks on the city).. But at least we have the fire brigade for people making barbecues in the woods, or even GBHQ specialists for potential ghosts around the haunted house.. And a private detective to check who stole newspapers on the stalls.. Never been in favor of a police station, as we had DO already, and thought dentist would be enough for most people in the city.. Will have to rethink about this, thanks!

    Me too, PR i my favorite! As for the Diner, here is where I placed it, not because of height but color scheme. In reality when you look from the front, it looks good. I agree, at the end of a street or as a standalone (x2) would look better, but I am happy with this solution..
  24. SwissBrick
    Dear Community, I am currently next to a lego store and saw the 21042 Lego Statue of Liberty.. Love at first sight, but canot figure out where to place it.. would feel weird next to the Ninjago area, though it should be on an island in the sea part.. how would you do that? Should I remove the lighthouse? And do you believe adding a new train (x2 - 60197) would make sense? I have space to add new tables but I would need to convince my partner.. I am also struggling, should I add an additional floor to Brick Bank? Well, I cannot do all of it, add a huge airport, expend the sea area, place my other older creator houses in the suburb.. Add lights to all my buildings.. One or two more points.. What do you think of the backdrop, too plain? And should I keep the monorail as it is or adapt the blue or orange tram? What do you think is best? Many thanks for your feedback, I usually take them into account! Thank you @NewTown, any improvement feedback?
  25. SwissBrick
    Thanks @LEGO Train 12 Volts! There is a special focus on that area on the following thread - page 2, with a dedicated video.. Also, as your name suggest, I would like to expand my train tracks, with other train sets I have like emerald night, maersk train and so on.. But I would have to redesign the entire city, any suggestion? I would like to have multiple tracks and one of my concern is to have the engine shed 10027 built as a « square » not the long build as it currently is..and let the trains pass through, but emerald night is too wide.. Your expertise and advice would be very helpful.. Thanks in advance and kind regards! Hi @DeanLearner, good point, we clarified that with the owner.. Like with my partner’s family, they have an electric pole on their property and they rent it to the electric company.. Therefore the owner has lifelong free earplugs, plus a rent , more seriously, I would love to bring the monorail to a higher level and go all along the city, from Ninjago City (include a station there) up to the future envisioned airport addition! If you have any suggestion, it is more than welcome!
