  1. Fantastic build!
  2. Nice build! But I think you could put some white bricks between the windows.
  3. That's amazing! Beautiful shaping too.
  4. So... I'll say my thoughts: Town Hall is a fantastic modular in my opinion. The exterior color might be a bit dull but the interior is filled with plenty of details with a beautifully tiled interior. Palace Cinema was good, but I feel like the interior needed more detail and 6 seats isn't really enough. But it's LEGO, and for that reason I excuse these things. Downtown Diner was a style change, but I think it's excellent in its own way. The build was one of the most fun I've ever had and I didn't even want it to end! It's also the modular that stands out compared to others, it could be a good thing or bad thing; you decide. Corner Garage, to be honest... was pretty dull. The exterior has too much windows for my liking and I honestly feels like it's a missed opportunity. There's some cool details but I simply expected more. Bottom line: Please, please, please... tile the interior! Bookshop remains my least favorite modular of all time. The nougat brown doesn't blend with other modulars well and the interior color just looks a bit weird, not to mention the green stairs... Other than that, I still feel like it could have included more books to be a proper bookshop and the birch tree just looks a bit distracting. That's not to say it's a bad set though, I'm just not a fan of it.
  5. Wow... the interior details are amazing! The shaping is beautiful too.
  6. It's a really nice set!! While it isn't 100% accurate, it still looks instantly recognizable and the designer captured the main details very well.
  7. Well... Astrid's designs were excellent, but I don't think we'll ever see a modular designer by her again... So I won't nitpick much on the Corner Garage, but I mean... it should have had some tiled floors. All modulars but the first ones had tiled floors, so that felt like a step down in my opinion. And for the presence, I feel like the Bookshop's color should have been tan instead. The nougat brown just doesn't blend with the shiny interior...
  8. It's unlikely. But prices didn't go up that much yet.
  9. Auto Union Type C Racecar achieves 9993 supporters... guess I could say congrats already...
  10. Well... I'll be honest right here: I don't mind Jamie stepping away from the modulars; however, the 2019 and 2020 versions were less detailed than Jamie's sets in my opinion, and that is the reason I've been hesitating to purchase them. And other than that, I have an extreme dislike for the colors used in the Bookshop. Not sure if it's just me, but I feel like the light yellow just doesn't blend well with the exterior colors. I think Nick Vas could do excellent on the modulars; proved by the incredible Ninjago City. Perhaps he'll do another Ninjago modular? We'll see... Personally, I think Marcos Bessa has a lot of potential to design modular buildings. The detailing is always amazing and the overall color scheme is great, at least in my opinion. Last but not least, I think Justin Ramsden is a great designer. However, I think it'll be better if he just focus on other sets instead. JintaiZ
  11. Wow... that is amazingly accurate!
  12. The piece count has been confirmed: 80106 Story of Nian-1067 pieces 80107 Spring Lantern Festival-1793 pieces Seems like good deals to me.
  13. I could definitely see that there's some trouble with the bricks! That said, I think simply swapping the bricks with other ones could work.
  14. Wow, that is cool!
  15. Fantastic build!
  16. So... I'll be honest: I've been skipping latest 2 modulars, and therefore not having my hopes too high. But Jamie designing it will certainly be a nice surprise. So I'm assuming SFmuscle73 is right... the reveal is LEGO Masters...
  17. Could be... , but I was really expecting a good set from him... Hopefully he'll surprise us with a brand new modular...
  18. That's a lot of minifigures!
  19. Nice build!
  20. Maybe 42097? the B-model isn't really bad but just way too similar to the A-model
  21. So... I emailed customer service and they said Jamie is working on something that isn't quite revealed yet. I guess that's good news?
  22. I don't think Jamie himself gets to decide who designs the modulars... but yes, he's still working at TLG.
