I'm wondering how and if they are including instructions. I can't see how they wouldn't be. I couldn't find any instructions to the Starbucks building and its expired from the Lego Ideas website.

I wonder if this is something they are coming out with?

I also didn't notice any major clutch issues with my Cafe Corner. Only slightly on elements like 1x1 tiles and a few other small elements. The only oily film I noticed was on the "glass" for the 1x4x6 windows on the Cafe Corner. It wiped right off no problem.

Here is the Lepin Cafe Corner I purchased from AE for $58.00. Highly impressive. I used a LEGO tan baseplate instead of the weird thick baseplates that came in the kit. There was a few minor pieces missing and 1 cheese slope was deformed. Other than that very happy overall. After about 20 minutes into the build I almost forgot it wasn't an authentic LEGO kit. Hopefully this inserted pic isn't too large.

I'm sorry I'm using the MCLAD software. The MOC I'm working on is a corner building. I've had a request for instructions and thought I would give it a go. Do you think I should try using the LDD program instead and use the Blueprint software to build the instructions? Does the BluePrint software allow printing the instructions or burning them to CD?

I'm trying to build a corner modular building in Ldraw for the sole purpose of making instructions. I'm finding the program tedious and difficult to use. My two main problems are these: 1. Does the program allow the bricks to audibly "snap" into place? I can't find any options for this. 2. Why doesn't the program know how to place the bricks and tiles properly? I have to move the tile above the baseplate in the "side" view otherwise when placing the tile using the "top" view it places the tile underneath the baseplate. The program will also allow me to improperly place a brick on the baseplate when in reality you wouldn't be able to do this. Example would be placing the brick a half stud over or underneath the baseplate. What am I doing wrong? It must be easier than this as I am seeing loads on complete instructions being offered on ebay all day long. I know these issues don't happen with LDD as I've tried it in the past. The brick is outlined in red if its being placed wrong and I'm pretty sure the bricks audibly snap into place on LDD.

I'll get some more pics uploaded.

They should use the dark bluish grey like the one I made:

Nice! It reminds me of the rare 1991 BMW Z1. The back would have to be straighter and it would need the sloped headlights but it looks great! http://www.allcarpictures.com/pictures/bmw/z1/bmw-z1.jpg

Yeah so where's the MOC tag? I don't know what level of creativity you have to achieve to get one but you get my vote on it.

Really really awesome. You have really outdone yourself on this. I love how you manage to cram in so many details on the interiors of your MOC's.

Good catch on that. Must have seen all the hype about the haunted house and R2D2 so they edited the video.

Seems like there is more excitement being generated on this haunted manor than the intended official release, the Town Hall. You could easily MOD that onto a 32x32 plate and put it at the end of your street in your modular town or city. Maybe a 16x32 cemetery spacing it away from other buildings. It also looks similar to my old haunted mansions I did back in 2009/2010. Except I didn't have any black roof slopes at the time.

Definitely. Exactly what I said in my MOC thread. Its a very general idea of what most people would imagine a haunted house would look like. I'd love to see some better pics of it. I'd also like to do another version of my MOC but on a standard 10 x 10 plate with technic pins and fit it with other modulars. I think you could make it work if maybe you set the building back a little.

Darnit I should have copyrighted it!

I just noticed that too! The new Monsters Haunted House looks very similar to mine. But I guess the design is pretty standard in terms of what most people would imagine such a house would look like.

I would think every time you look at the page, be it the 1st time or the 100th time, it counts as a page view where you can only vote once. I've looked at it at least 50 times to see the vote count, and probably lots of others. Since CUUSOO is still in BETA, I tend to think if it takes off and they get some solid ideas, the eventual product should be made available world wide.

The more I look at the pics, it just becomes so much more stunning and clever. I thought to myself well maybe I'll just make one of my own but I want it to look like this and I can't even figure out half of the techniques used here! Where are you marshall? You should be working for LEGO....

I've been following the Cuusoo site for a while looking at all the new and popular builds but I have to say this could really be a hit, LEGO could easily do a theme with at least a dozen or so different sets. I love the open back to the buildings. I think it would appeal to the AFOLS as well as the younger kids. Throw a couple of bandits and bank robbers in there and you have a hit. The smaller sizes and less pieces would make for an easier build for kids but the details are satisfying for us guys and gals. Keep the prices reasonable too. There are lots of cool ideas on the CUUSOO site but I haven't really seen anything LEGO could make a theme from. I urge everyone here to spread the word outside of the LEGO community. Share it on your Facebook and get your friends to sign up. I'm sure plenty of our friends today have fond memories of the Old West LEGO themes when they were kids. Last time I checked it was to almost 2000 so lets spread it a wildfire!

I also voted for this a few months ago on CUUSOO. Its lovely and I would love to collect each one as they came out. There are limitless possibilities with this theme. Oh and I just don't get the Minecraft thing. I didn't even know what it was until I saw it on CUUSOO. I don't think it really deserves the LEGO review, as the most of the voters are not AFOL or FOL I believe. The voters for that are video gamers aren't they?

Yeah I know huh. It left a bad taste in my mouth after I realized he was not authorized to sell the instructions although I do commend him on his attempt.

Thank you scottwb2010. I agree I like this version better than the official one. I think I may get the new one when it comes out, build it and place it side by side and maybe we can have a poll on it.

Thanks 'Captain Green Hair'. The interior is basically a typical courthouse with judges bench, stenographers desk, and some seats for the spectators. There is a small bathroom at the back end of the hallway. The 2nd floor does not have much other than the balcony overlooking the court.
