Added Ultra HR images of the Logging Truck to my BS Gallery. Warning pictures are 6000+ .pxl Folder still needs to go public! enjoy!

You are correct the Fire Brigade does have a different hight because of the garage, but that by the other modular the the windows don't align is IMO also not that big of a deal! By the way the Fire Brigade was modeled after Engine 55 in NY city which is very close to ground zero Also a lot of firemen from this station lost there lives on 9/11 This is also a reason why Jamie did this model......

Like I said before happens in big cities like NY all the time!

I also disagree about the colour; The dark orange is perfect for a Modular Building it is also a lot darker then on the cover of the box. I think the photographers lights make them to light in the cover picture! For those worried about the colours look at the pet shop, the town house has some dark orange pieces on the front and the are actually quite dark! If Jamie had used dark green like he did in his MOC it would have stood out more next to the other buildings! Still can't believe that Lego has not released any official news about the set since every AFOL knows about it now and not really a secret anymore.

Finally a nice HR image of 3866 Battle of Hoth picture links to HR version! enjoy! :thumbup:

Ah, well you should be able to just klick on them, It works for me! If it doesn't try clearing the cash in your browser or restart your computer!

There are no large official HR images available for this set yet! so that might be the problem!

50cm!

Thanks! the hight's is not as bad as I thought.

Her is an interview after the Vernissage conducted by the Greenwich Post. Gallery owner shares thoughts on Lego Wars Written by Greenwich Post Staff Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:00 Share Lee Milazzo, the co-owner (with his wife Cindy Milazzo) of the Samuel Owen Gallery on Greenwich Avenue, has shared his thoughts with the Post about the gallery’s current show “Lego Wars,” a photographic exhibition of works by international photographer Dale May, which opened on Dec. 15. Here are his answers to questions from the Post. How did the opening go? Mr. Milazzo: The opening was a huge success! We had over 350 people in attendance. and over 30 pieces were sold the night of the opening. We expect many more sales throughout the weekend. What did people find interesting and were drawn to, etc.? Mr. Milazzo: People were very drawn to the artwork. The subject matter speaks to such a wide range, both children and adults were captivated by the work. The majority of the people I talked to were also very taken by the materials used in producing the works of art. The slick look of the aluminum and acrylic used to produce the photos are very impressive and contemporary. When the pieces are hung they look like artwork that would hang in Darth Vader’s Dining Room! Were adults as captivated as children? Mr. Milazzo: Very much so. We encouraged children to come to the gallery and have their picture taken with a stormtrooper we hired to walk around the gallery the night of the opening. Most of the adults were having their picture taken with the stormtrooper as well. My favorite part of the evening was when a 70-year-old man asked me to take his picture with the stormtrooper so he could use it on his Facebook page! The kids were so excited about the art work. It was great to watch the kids explain to their parents who some of the characters were and some of the kids even signed our guest book. The entries are priceless. I have attached a photo of what they wrote. The gallery was like a brand new toy store that their parents didn’t want to leave. The margaritas helped. What makes Legos and Star Wars imagery so compelling for so many years, generations? Mr. Milazzo: You would think that parents would be buying these pieces for their kids’ bedrooms but most of the pieces we have sold so far have been for living rooms, offices and even dining rooms. The images are nostalgic for adults, and kids can’t believe they are seeing the characters they play with every day on such a grand scale. The interesting thing about the work is that children grow up with these works of art and never forget the phase of their lives when Star Wars played such an important role in their lives. When they are adults and look at the artwork that was purchased the characters will be vintage, giving an entirely new spin on the artwork. This show has been so much fun to produce — the subject matter is accessible, smart and engaging. I have always encouraged my clients to bring their kids into the gallery and this was a perfect opportunity for them to do so.

Anyone have the address for the guy in Romania? I wan't to go and visit him... and ah, well.... you know!? But anyway nice to get some good closeups of this spectacular set! I'm just a little sad that its not standing next to my other Modular Buildings! Can't wait to get my hands on it! Hurry up Lego and release the information, so we know how much we have to pay for this baby! @Jamie philip Berard "Nice Job" Thanks! :pir_bawling: :pir_bawling: :pir_bawling: :pir_bawling: ................................ Give us the instruction # please there on the back starts with 6 or 7 i think!?

Alywin could you please post a link to the gallery? Thanks!

Thanks!

I can't find the statistic? Guess you only get one for quantity not quality?

I wander where this will lead? The LEGO WARS series is a photographic study of popular culture, commercial advertising and nostalgia. As an adult, Dale May revisits these tiny plastic Lego toys and photographs them in a way that returns them to the epic importance they once had as a child, reminding us why we needed to collect every single piece. Iconic, nostalgic, yet timeless, the artist brings a new look to a subject that’s common place. Dale leaves nothing to chance, not only is the work impeccably crafted and well thought out but the material he has chosen to produce the Lego Wars series was no accident. Dale felt that the entire piece of art should resemble the high polished glossiness of the subject itself. Crafted in archival acrylic and backed with aluminum dibond, the work is given a look not unlike the plastic Star Wars Lego or something in Darth Vader’s home, the Death Star itself! Once made from molded plastic, standing just over an inch, and in danger of being stepped on, these characters now stand tall, speak to us and demand attention! The ARTIST, internationally renowned, award winning advertising, celebrity, and music photographer Dale May, has been pushing the boundaries of photography and digital imaging for more than 15 years. Best known for his richly stylized, character driven, conceptual imagery, he quickly became a favorite hire to capture some of today’s most iconic personalities. Dale has shot Christina Aguilera, Isaac Mizrahi, Jared Leto, Gene Simmons, Moby, Dave Grohl, Casey Affleck, Matt Leblanc, Nathan Lane, as well as countless bands, from Black Sabbath to 30 Seconds To Mars, and the Broadway casts of West Side Story, 9 to 5, Hair and most recently, Spiderman Turn Off The Dark. Although Dale has remained focused on his commercial career, his roots have always been firmly planted in the fine arts. He grew up 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia in Chadds Ford, PA. Dale’s grandfather was a big-band drummer and band leader in the ‘20s and ‘30s, and his grandmother was a supper club singer. Dale has played the drums from age five and was also artistically inspired by his neighbor, the American Contemporary Realist painter, Andrew Wyeth. Dale moved to NY to study painting, color theory, and art history at Parson's School of Design. The foundation of these first few years shaped his current aesthetic style, and he graduated in 1993 with a BFA in Photography. Dale left Parsons and went on to work with iconic photographer Joyce Tenneson, who had an influence on him with her ethereal effects. At this point, he continued working with fashion and still life photographers, including Jose Picayo. Dale chose to apprentice with photographers that were both commercial as well as recognized fine artists, and was particularly drawn to a painterly style. Working with still life photographers provided Dale a technician's training in lighting, equipment and post production. Combining his background in painting and color theory, lighting and post production, Dale works with the inspiration to make the unthinkable real, as well as ... believable.

1891 The year Ole Kirk Christiansen is Born! and 1932 from Fire Brigade is the year Lego was founded!

Eh? don't understand your post, there are thousand of Town Halls almost every town has one! just google and then hit images they all look very much alike!?

Yep confirmed that yesterday!

Yep! that could be it. so tomorrow or saturday for the official press kit!

Well if we go back to the Pet Shop the official release info was May 6th 2011 with a release on the 10th. So if there are any official Lego show this month it will be introduced then or a couple of days before the release!

Just got info on the release date but still no price! February 1st! So start saving them pennies you will need lots of them!

Thats just Lego trying to shoot the horse after it has bolted out of the gate!

A couple of small things that I have noticed about the new building The computer terminal that is used here is totally out of place in the modular series the time line for the series is somewhere in the 20's or 30's with the fire engine from FB Did you notice that the picture used is the one from the two christmas vignette's ? they could have added a different picture for this set. The Height of this building is also going to create a problem for me when displaying the set. Mine sit on the top shelf in a glass vitrine. i will have to remove the third floor to fit it! The width is not such a problem. I do like the colours of the set, I hope there is some nice interior detail as well! Also wander if the next building will be a corner building like CC or GE? Edit* with 240 people on average who where watching this thread yesterday I take it that the modular building line is still one of the most popular themes, so I think we will see a lots more sets yet to come!?

Oh; and I heard somewhere that this set has an elevator!
