Chubbs

Was in Walmart today and got one of the 1500 pc boxes

I think we have a winner!!! Thanks so much for all your hard work Xon67

I have that Police Pier set!

Briefly looked at the parts list for GG - several substitutions would have to be done as 1 x3 bricks don't exist in Dark Red and 1 x 8 bricks are crazy expensive in Dark Red. I'm leaning towards doing the build in Dark Bley with Dark Red accent (where the tan is on the original) but Dark Red 1 x 6 arch are hard to find and expensive so I may have to figure out another possibility. Keep the colour scheme suggestions coming - I'm sure Xon67 can render whatever you like if you ask nicely enough.

Wow. Can you adopt me and my sons!?!?

Well...if your renderings Xon67 don't give people lots of ideas, I don't know what will!! Thank you so much! As an aside...ran the parts list through Brickstock and changing out the Sand Green for a more common colour can save almost half of the estimated Bricklinking value (based on average 6 month sale prices)...so if you're on a budget its definitely worth at least considering a colour change.

Xon67....you are a god among men. thank you

Thanks for the pictures LegoSjaak. The Sand Blue is nice but given thats the colour of the Pet Shop I would probably try something else. One combination I was thinking of trying would be the colour scheme from Arkham Asylum - the dark bley/dark red combo....personally AA is one of my top 5 favorite builds and would love to have it replicated elsewhere.

I was thinking of attempting to Bricklink/piece together the Green Grocer with my sons but obviously the price of the sand green bricks is somewhat offputting. I have seen a Sand Blue Grocer and I believe a Sand Yellow/Tan but am wondering if anyone has had success with other colours for their Grocer. Red? Bright Green (I know the 1 x 2 brick with groove doesn't come in bright green)? Dark Bley? If anyone has pictures of their mod could you post them so we can have a look at how the building looks? I have no idea how to use LDD to try and create/change a set so please don't suggest that. Thanks

I love Prof X being there - made me laugh. Great MOC

I too came late to the Modular party but have attempted to make up for it in short time. GE/PS x 2/PC/PR x 2/DO x 2 have been added to the collection. As well I am in awaiting a Bricks n Pieces order to compete a Bricklinked FB that my son really wanted. All sets have yet to be built but they will be shortly.

I'm a new user to the program Brickficiency and so I will admit almost complete ignorance on how to fully and best use the program. That being said, I have attempted several times today to import a Bricklink wanted file into Brickficiency only to have the list only partially imported. And yet when I switch back to Bricklink and check the wanted list, it appears to be full and not missing anything. Am I doing something wrong? Is anyone familiar with this and can perhaps walk me through troubleshooting?

Follows Closely - Do you have a Bricklink store? If so could you PM me so I could browse as I am looking to get some of the older Modular sets

Thanks Peter...i'll try that now. Cross your bricks for me

I too have caught the Bricklinking a Modular bug...I'm not sure if there is any cure. My son and I decided on Fire Brigade as the first one to try and assemble and I placed my first orders this morning. I placed 7 BL orders and am attempting to place 1 BnP order. I have no idea what shipping will cost on the BL orders but 3 of them are local pick ups so over all it shouldn't be too bad. As long as shipping is manageable I should come in around the $350 mark which is a pretty decent savings over what the set goes for in Canadian BL stores. I have had some issues with the BnP website and didn't know if anyone else had experienced the same thing - It allows me to confirm my order but as soon as I got to check-out it dumps me out into the general Lego shop@home website and nothing appears in my cart. I haven't called CS yet as I would like to avoid manually dictating my order to a poor rep but I may have to do that. I have tried 3 times now. Anyone else have that issues ever?

I apologize if I am duplicating any previous posts/threads with my question to those of you who have modulars. I am about to take the plunge and enter the world of Modulars. I have a fair number of train sets and so I felt like this was kind of a natural progression. My question is - are there any modulars (currently available - GG/CC/FB/TH excluded) worth getting multiples of (either to create bigger building or reverse build etc)? I understand a lot of it is probably personal preference and the age-old "purists vs MOC'ers" debate but I figured it would be worth gathering opinions on. Thank you in advance for your input.

I want!!!!

Have you physically build any of these models or are they just LDD models at this point? I like the look of them. I missed out on the Emerald Night unfortunately.

Don't forget to add the price of the PF to your total. More than likely 1 motor won't be enough. Search the forum for people's suggestions how to best set up 2 HE's. That's my local store and I'm not too far from Kitchener either

Well...I know what my summer project will be now.

This is just pure genius. I can barely tie my shoes most days if I'm lucky. I'm also very envious of your colour-coordinator trains no hoppers - very sharp looking for sure. I may have to copy that idea sometime.

In December I ordered 60051 from Amazon UK for £61 (being Canadian I don't pay VAT) but it got damaged in shipping and never arrived. Keep watching the prices, it'll come down more. I also ordered 60052 for £80 at the same time.

My guess is that you have both trains set to the same color (red or blue) and the same frequency. I would suggest you look again and put one train on 'Red 1' ( color red, frequency 1) and the other on 'Blue 1' and try that.

Called Lego this am and managed to order 2 HE at the sale price. Thank you eliminator for the tip :)

Any idea how many were left when you placed your order?
