Everyone is hating on the cobblestones...I think it looks fantastic and adds to the overall model, even if a lot of parts. Plates with printed cobbles wouldn't look nearly as nice, IMO. -

The most recent toy shop (2015) uses it to light the second floor workshop and on the fire station it lights the upper floor and bell, so occasionally they switch things up.

According to leak: set #11387, 1345 pcs, light brick is making a return...so there's that.

The figures glow in the dark!....dang, that's an upgrade for me. I wasn't sure about the brick-built tree, they always look weird and sparse to me, but it is awfully effective here. Ugh am I starting another collection?

It looks like the center of the lower level is 6 studs deep at the interior, the upper floor looks to be 4 studs. The right side (looking from the outside) utilizes 1 x 4 swivel hinge plates to create an odd angle so not sure how that affects depth on that side. Overall what I expected size-wise...not sure about execution (no pun intended). I think I need to see next year's to judge how cohesive the theme is. This is a wait and see for me.

Last year we got the first bit of info (general concept and price) on Aug 7 and first leaked photo on Sept 9. We have a ways to go...

Yeah if they keep the part count at 26xx...that's a spicy meatball. -

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-11/5077/Lunar-Cargo-Train Looking forward to seeing where this goes in the refinement process. The designer claims it can run on standard track (in an elevated position?) but I'm not sure how that's possible with the skirting. I personally would purchase this as a display piece but, again, gotta see how it evolves, with price being a pretty big factor. -

I just placed two Bricklink orders and managed to get he vast majority of the necessary add-on parts. Buying all new pieces and shipping from US stores I got 95% of the parts for $38.xx and $19.xx shipped. Not terrible. I don't plan on motorizing so i won't have those expenses. Side note: some of these BL stores always make me laugh with absolutely ridiculous pricing. Just bonkers stuff. -

Oh man, that's going to be a pricey build once you collect all the supplemental parts for the Bs. Share pics when it's done! -

I'm pretty excited for this one and I think I'm going to pick up two copies for the B-unit. I have a bricklink list for the supplemental pieces and hope you have all those in hand by Nov when these things ship. This will be a static piece for me so I'm not at all concerned about 8-wide vs 6-wide. I also want to rebuild the base to look like the Croc base using the 16L individual rails. -

I should note it's not my photo but one I found online. It is great though!
