Chiaroscuro

There was a City Hospital released this year (something that happens only each 3 or 4 years). I doubt they would release a Creator Hospital at the same year. I also don’t think the color of the stand alone baseplate would matter for the Creator Modular, since last modulars were mostly tiled on the ground floor (well, except for Corner Garage).

tmctiger created an incredible layout that includes a train ramp. Take a lot at his topic:

I was picturing him as depicted in the old Batman cartoons. But to be fair, as a 5th character, he can choose whoever can see him.

Nope. It is a being from the 5th dimension like Myxlplyx from Superman stories, which is a Batman fan and followed his adventures in the comics. Everyone can see him.

Related to an Ideas set? A new Pirate line? A new minidoll Pirate line?

Policeman scenario = chase minifig, one per box.

The 32x32 studs baseplate that Creator Modulars and roadplates uses are 25x25cm. In the space you have you can line 6 Modulars buildings with roadplates in front of it. You may save some space brickbuilding the road but you won’t save enough for another line of buildings anyway.

Those sets were not in this review.

The way I do it (hard way) is to upload 2 wanted lists in Bricklink (one for the old set and one for the updated one), open each wanted list in a tab on the browser and manually filling the updated wanted list.

It is a little bigger than the usual city vehicles. Actually it is more on proportion with the minifig scale. I always thought that the city vehicles are too small. But it is a great set and it fits the beach on my city layout (that still on early stages).

I will say Haunted Mandion has a better chance. Monster themes are popular, the attraction is iconic and popular plus it is its anniversary. The Blacksmith is an amazing build but not sure how popular it would be. I can see the Persuit of Flight being a second selected project since it is small and can be a low run. Not sure how the Dwarve’s Cottage would fit with an existing Disney Princess Line.

Hi guys! After spending more than 2 hours late night yesterday trying to order a single set (not even a P&B order) and getting the same payment error at checkout (“cannot authorize your payment at this time, please contact service support”) that I was having since the july system update of S@H, I finally made my order went through and I discovered what was causing the error (at least for me, please test this and see if it will help you too). The error happened at parsing the billing address to start the charge. The charge did not start yet, the system was preparing the fields to start the process. After messing with the billing address a lot of times I discovered that the update messed with some fields lengths. My country use a 5+3 ZIP code. That was the address stored in my profile that the system was trying to use (and also it was the shipping address). However, when trying to enter a new billing address I found out that the system only allows 4 digits ZIP codes tom y country now (!). The number of digits is specifically for each country, but my country was set wrong. I could not fill a 5 digits ZIP in a new billing address without the system returning an error in the field. So what I did was to create a new billing address with a ZIP code made of only the first 4 digits of my address. Attention, I did not change the shipping address, just the billing address. After that there was an error when the total of the basket was 0 and checkout wasn´t available. I just emptied the basket and put everything again on it. The order went fine and I was charged in my Credit Card. Hope this trick may help some of you guys with problems at checkout. But as a last note, if that works for you too, it shows that Lego TI doesn´t care. Simple as that. They were not working on a solution, because a simple checkout debug would show where the erro ris (parsing a field). Such a great TI support for a large company!

The banner is on the US site as well but the promotion only starts tomorrow. The promo will be added automatically to your basket if you put an item over the threshold.

PR is the GOAT of the modulars. Not as big as AS but a great price point for an amazing good looking set. And a big seller as well. And Lego knows it, since DO is newer than it and already retired.

There is no way to guess which is the next to retire. Both are good possibilities. As a huge and more pricey set, I think Assembly Square will not last very long.

Thanks!

Which is the email address to use for the service and his payment is done?

US$ 199 two days ago.

If it is an integral part of their business they were losing a lot of money in the past months due to the non-working website. I hope this get noticed by some management level that actually has a say on the e-commerce presence of Lego. Because the way Lego does business with their clients is unacceptable. But again, a lot of problems in the website usually happens around a new product launch and nothing was ever done, I guess they just don’t care.

Assembly Square was on sale at Walmart and it is an incredible value/build, probably retiring soon. If that is too much for your budget now, Parisian Restaurant is the best of the regular modulars.

Wow. Impressive roof and design. Congratulations,

@hachiroku raised some good points regarding the digital builds, specially regarding the light sources. I also prefer the real builds, because you can fake a lot with digital (not only using colors not available but also stability issues). But I also understand not everyone has all the needed bricks at hand, speciay for short time contests. @MbrickThe results of course are all subjective. One may like something another one don’t. But although I like all your JW builds, if I have to judge the contest the results would be the same. I liked more the cake Dino, even more than the 2nd place in the contest. Please take the following as constructive feedback, and do not take offense. Again, it is my opinion not the truth. Your rainbowsaurus looks great, but looks more a dragon (like a Chinese one) than a dinosaur. Nerosaurus is a great scene build, but again it looked more like a giant shark or sea Monster. Your other creation are similar in tone from the second place (the Scorpio). Again, it is a matter of taste, and somehow I liked the Scorpio better.

Well, it is their loss. I was trying to place a + US$150 order for a month. Now I have spend the money elsewhere and serious consider to not use their service anymore. It is not possible for a large company like Lego to have such an e-commerce service these days. It would not be acceptable 15 years algo either. I can’t understand why they do not invest in a better system.
