    The real Chiron does not have an automatic gearbox, therefore I am not expecting the same in the Lego version. It has a dual clutch transmission (DCT), which is similar to the Porsche PDK transmission found in the GT3 RS set, so it makes sense to do the same in Lego.

    I'm liking it. I like how a lot of people complain about the gaps because of the type of pieces used. Are they the same people who complain when Lego use a large moulded piece to make something look more realistic? Remember this is Technic Lego. I like it and will be putting it on my wall next to the Porsche and F1 Ferrari.

    Got the last one in Sheffield Lego store at 4pm today.

    How do you make a W12 engine?

    Maybe it is for a 'half-modular' that means we have a complete two modulars with Assembly Square.

    I have just added the diner to my collection and have to admit that I have grown to appreciate it more and more during the build. There were some fantastic techniques used to add detail to this set including the external stairs at the rear, the small round windows and the Diner sign. There were many more, but my post would be boring if I listed them all. It actually works well next to the town house from the Pet Shop modular. The only thing I don't like is the pink Cadillac style car. I would have preferred either a slightly smaller and less expensive set, or the pieces used to provide extra detail. Last, but not least I love the 'Elvis' minifigures with his curled lip.

    I like the style of this modular. I think it will go well next to the detective's office in a street setup. The faces don't bother me as I have a mixture of minifigures in my layout and if you are really bothered it is an easy fix.

    Damn you Lego! Will have to save up for this and try and not tell my wife I've bought it. How easy do you think this thing of awesomeness will be to attach to a wall?

    Bought it yesterday in the Leicester Square store. Was given a special Lego London Bus drivers license and 40251 3in1 Piggy Bank. I'm going to start building it tonight.

    Popped into the Leicester Square shop yesterday. There were two London buses on display and lots for sale. This was mid afternoon. I'm returning to London next weekend with the family and am going to buy one with my daughter so we can make it together. Also a great souvenir of our visit.

    I'm going to London mid July so will be picking it up at the Leicester Square store.

    As Assembly Square was 48 studs wide I would like to see a 16 wide 'half-modular' like one half of the Pet Shop so that the lengths of the streets made by the sets put together match. That is unless they make another 48 wide set.

    Went to the Lego store in Brighton and bought Assembly Square! The box is huge. Also bought some Duplo for my young son and Lego Friends for my daughter. I'm going to start building it later.

    I was planning on going tomorrow, but have heard that the queues to get in are huge. A friend was there yesterday and was not willing to wait 45 minutes to just get in the door. Is this true?

    I build the Parisian Restaurant the opposite way round with the roof terrace section and the stairs up to it on the left hand side instead of the right. The only problem I encountered was the fridge door as it only opens one way, so a bit of alteration had to take place.

    I phoned the Brighton Lego store today and they told me Assembly Square would be on sale on January 1st.

    What an amazing looking set. My wife will not be happy as it will mean another shelf to be put up in the hall. I love that it is three separate buildings with three retail outlets, but most impressive of all is the Lego fan's apartment. There are so many details and sets including the Eiffel Tower set. I thought this year was expensive, but 2017 is starting badly and I'm sure it won't get any better.

    I would like to see a reboot of some of the original or iconic sets. In particular 8860 chassis which I used to have.

    I've just ordered it on the UK Lego website. Seems to be available a day early for VIP members!

    Like many others I am like a child just before Christmas and cannot wait until I can order my VW Beetle and place it next to my VW Camper, Mini Cooper and Ferrari F40. I think I may explode with excitement when the Caterham Seven is released
  22. Flossie
    This is going to be an expensive automotive year, what with this, the Caterham Ideas set and the Technic Porsche 911.

    On my VW Camper and Mini Cooper Creator sets some of the white bricks are starting to yellow. There is no pattern to which bricks are yellowing and it is starting to look like a patchwork. So what do I do to return the gleaming whiteness to the bricks. I cannot afford to replace them and I've heard that there is a ways of washing them that almost bleaches them white again. Any help would be gratefully received.
  24. Flossie
    I do not think it will be a remake as the previous version was so much larger than the existing Creator cars. Looking at the projected price I am thinking it will be similar to the size of what has been released recently as the old Beetle has over 1,600 parts and was 63cm long.
  25. Flossie
    Damn you Lego. This is going to be an expensive year. I was only going to buy this year's Creator car, this set, but there is also the Ideas Caterham and the Technic 911. Grrr!
