    Hi. I saw this on the day you posted it and came back to get the link to show a friend. Just wanted to say I love it.

    ooh it's so cute and dense. I love seeing space-efficient MOCs because I don't have a ton of display space relative to the people with, like, basement or garage workshops.

    this is hilarious. lovely work throughout the whole series. Maybe I should try to make the OMAX waterjet I used to use. I've been planning to make a machine shop for my City for a while and when I finally get around to it I'll be ripping off many of your tools.

    selifshly hoping for new versions of post office or the cottage. I've got the toy shop reprint and the bakery. If they make a brand new realistic building, a cozy cafe or restaurant seems like a decent bet. Other parts of a secular christmas that they've never done..... a big house with a family gathered around a dining table? or maybe a christmas tree lot? it could have a few trees in a fenced-in outdoor area with a hot cocoa stand out front. If they just want to make the cutest possible building, I'd say find an excuse to have a tall pointy rooftop covered in snow, like a town hall, since they'd never do a chapel. I loved the little skate-rink that came with the bakery so I've always daydreamed about a WV set dedicated to playing outdoors. a winter village hillside or park. Trees, snow, sledding hill.

    the monster fighters zombie set was pretty gothic. Maybe they'd be more reluctant to do a modern Walking Dead take on it.

    i love it. one of my favorite towns/ landscapses i've seen.
  7. corasaur
    it would be hidden-side compatible, since we got teen protagonists. A suburban house under siege? Maybe this turns into the first spooky Friends theme.

    cosmic horror could be made lego friendly- tentacle monsters, haunted forests, old ruins, couple book pieces here and there. those aesthetic elements have spread pretty widely and are slowly becoming detached from lovecraft himself being a dirtbag. closest they've come is the portal beast in the dr strange set, i guess? every time i watch castelvania, it makes me want to MOD a throne room into Vampyre Castle.

    i always liked assembly square for this reason. it's a real place name but it also fits a building toy well.

    Wow. Looks too regal to be a high school any more. feels like a university building.
  11. corasaur
    Oh that's so good. Gonna be spending a lot of time starting at those images for ideas. Been wanting to make a music venue for about a year
  12. corasaur
    That's amazing. Makes me look at my own sets more carefully.

    Scorpion pyramid was one of m first sets as an adult. I was nostalgic enough for my childhood Johnny thunder sets that i had to get it.
  14. corasaur
    Oh yeah, all the town squares near my home are messy intersections with buildings of wildly varying shapes. I've spent a ton of time sketching out ideas for rounded or wedge-shaped modulars and would buy official baseplates to help with it

    Definitely in for the portal. spooky scenery plus good ghosts. I'm a sucker for lighthouses. I'll probably get it, then combine it with one or more other lighthouses and see what I can come up with from the pieces. I'll probably get the subway, but mostly as a starting point for a modification. Need to think about what I'd do differently without making the MOC a billion pieces. Haunted fairground I'm not sure about. I do want the clowns.... I'd be more excited if I had fairground sets to combine it with, but I don't even have, like, the pirate coaster or other basic creator sets. Doubt I'll get the buggy or biplane. Already got so many vehicles tucked away. Maybe the ghost figs will get me if i see a good sale.

    Recently built the graveyard set. enjoyed it way more than i expected to. I'm in danger of getting all of them at this rate.
  17. corasaur
    oh wow. I love them all. they are so, so good. i need to see if i have the pieces to reverse-engineer any of these. I want them up on my wall with the real cities' skylines. RE: the matter of Fellowship's skyline flowing most smoothly: that book has the whole party together going straight through in one journey. it's much harder to smoothly squeeze all the major scenes in when the group is splintered into 2 or 3 pieces. Fellowship lended itself most naturally to this format, I think. Two towers and RotK also have major stretches of movie that are in open fields. it's hard to make the plains of Rohan an interesting part of a skyline, and they're what would be needed to smoothly transition around Two towers. Return of the king could only be smooth if it were super-huge: pellenor fields could be an interesting build with oliphants and corsair ships, and you could smoothly transition into Moria with empty space before the black gate, or minas morgul and more mountains, and then have a barren blasted Moria plain flanking Barad-dur, buuuuuuut that would be like a triple-length skyline. This feels like the best collection of buildings that could fit in a reasonable footprint.

    Wow i wasnt thrilled when the concept leaked, but that turned out beautifully.
  19. corasaur
    I clicked the link and discovered I was already supporting the project. Welp. Guess I spend even more time online than I thought. The building is cozy and adorable, good luck.
  20. corasaur
    Ohhh that's awesome. I've wondered many times about pulling off a classy theatre in modular form, and you nailed it. Gonna try to get the pieces together and build it IRL?

    I'd prefer another village building to a gingerbread house. If it's a gingerbread house I would probably also incorporate it into the WV market. Otherwise, maybe I would place it near Santa's workshop, declare the gingerbread man one of Santa's employees, and make a North pole scene instead of keeping the workshop near the village. No more ambiguous Santa, he'd be confirmed the real deal

    DC Comics has an enormous number of batman-related comics running at any given time, his movies have been DC's most reliable box office successes, and the arkham games were the first good major superhero game in ages. there really is just that much of a market for batman crap. Fatigue doesn't just mean "flooding the market," it means "people getting so sick of the stuff that sales drop." Guess the merchandise is still making money.

    I'm not miffed about dolls mostly because I doubt they came at the expense of many sets/themes that would have been more to my liking. I can't prove it, but I don't think friends stopped us from getting more diverse City sets, and I don't think Elves stopped any waves of fantasy castle from happening. Friends clearly succeeded. More kids liking lego is a good thing. I didn't have the space and budget for any elves sets, but if I had, I would have been fine having one elf-clan in the fantasy world that looks taller, slender, and alien to all the other beings. maybe I'd have made the minidoll elves the ancient high elves and the minifig elves half-elves

    Yeah I don't own a police station either. Almost grabbed prison island and was kinda tempted by the forest and mountain police stations. Since I'm not expecting to ever see a modular police station i'll probably just pick up a city police station one day.
  25. corasaur
    yeah if you'd only posted the external shots I don't think I'd have picked up on the renders. The bloom suddenly felt like it was some kinda video game from ~2006, though, back when every developer discovered bloom and went mad with power.
