    This sounds like a joke (my wife and I have a laugh about these things as well), and it would be funny, but this is actually not at all unlikely, sadly enough. It seems to get worse and worse. We have a wish list on the LEGO site of 12 items, only one (1) of which is in stock. And it has been like that for weeks. We switched on some "remind me when the item is in stock again" emails, only to find that by the time we read the email and visited the site, the item was out of stock again already!

    Yes! This is exactly the problem my wife and myself face. We tend to wait with buying sets until we get double VIP or a cool GWP as well. Usually, only to see our products are "temporarily out of stock" at the moment we're ready to buy. Santa's Sleigh is a good example. Not available at the moment here, and my guess is, it will not be back when the winter GWP becomes available. It has happened before.

    On Instagram, it is rumoured that 10298 is a Vespa scooter that will be released in February 2022, for EUR 99,99. In which case it does not belong in this thread :-) Hope it's true, though. As much as I like LEGO trains, that Vespa definitely sounds interesting.

    According to Brickset's review, it's light royal blue (Bricklink Color Bright Light Blue). https://brickset.com/article/63472/review-10293-santa-s-visit And yes, this colour works pretty well for me! I agree, it looks "cool", literally. Matching the snow

    Lovely building! Well-designed and nice details. Love the bird's house and the tree. We liked the cottage as well, but not the colour of the walls, so we replaced the blue with tan. This one is lighter blue, if I see it correctly. It looks a lot better than the cottage walls do, so we'll give it a chance. We can always try and change the colour if we don't like it. Two in different colours, as suggested above, is a great idea, too. Conclusion: Want!

    Nice one, congratulations! I hope it was not all too expensive. It's a great set!

    Absolutely smashing idea and brilliantly executed. supported, and hope to get this set.

    Such a great little build. Looks terrific! We've been thinking about an arcade modular for a while. This would fit in perfectly. Keep clicking those bricks together! PS And thanks for the instructions!

    The lettering might be a bit too prominent, but overall, this is a terrific MOC. I particularly love the colours, the façade with the tower and the patio in the back. I would put this in our city without hesitation. Keep clicking those bricks together!

    No football fans at all in our house, but LEGO-wise, this build is seriously brilliant. Keep clicking those bricks together!

    We (Netherlands) use only two platforms: Bricklink (95%) and eBay on occasion (5%).

    Same here, only our rule is "City, modulars, China sets, Fairground, creator cars and WV only, (okay, and 71043, and some architecture...)" ! We just could not pass on this one. We built it this weekend, and it really is an absolutely lovely set.

    We (my wife and I) missed the first three modulars (CC, MS, GG), but got the rest. Over the years, we bought the parts for the first three (as close as we could get, >99% original parts), just because we wanted to get them all. Like @crowe-k, we're "completists" where modulars are concerned, so skipping one was no option, but the prices for the originals were way too high, so we took the BrickLink road. MS, albeit not the greatest modular, looks absolutely okay with the two sections split into different locations in our city as far as we are concerned. The market part just becomes an autonomous small market stand in the city.

    We use google Sheets (it's like Excel, only better ) and we also dabbled with BlueBrick, which is especially created for this purpose. It has a lot of predefined modules, like road plates, train tracks and modulars, and it is a bit easier to work "outside the grid". BlueBrick Home page

    We put one layer of plates on the base plate before we build the set. Wherever the plates are visible, we choose the required colour (colour of the base plate), for the other plates we just use random colours we have handy. Once the plates are on, we leave them on the base plate (sticker on the back with the set number, since they are not interchangeable) whenever we disassemble the set.

    Hmm, an interesting observation, no connecting pins. Like @Fuppylodderssays, with the technic bricks, it makes no sense. Maybe LEGO are just trying to confuse us We never use the pins anyway. Ever tried to reorder a row of 12 modulars in a city with the pins in? Interesting to see this develop; the theory of the new road plates as well. Our modulars are already lifted by one plate to ensure a raised walkway against the normal "old" road plates, but we have no intention of switching to the new system at all.

    Great stuff, this one! We will definitely buy it. Very happy the colour is a classy white, and not something hysterical, like the beetle . (Loved the beetle, but hated that colour choice. We still bought it, of course...) PS Not sure that pic above is allowed here.
  18. Withacee
    Yes, as far as I remember, it contained the first 5 modulars MS GG CC FB and GE. Indeed a tremendous pityh that was not continued. We bricklinked the MOCs found online for all the others, since we liked them som much. And this mini modular of Police Station looks great as well! Will definitely compile this one or similar at some point. Will follow your BrickSafe page, shellshock, well done!

    Cheers for the review. I agree with your conclusion; I really like this little set, especially the minifig. It also fits perfectly in our Winter Village, due to the white panels on top of the plane. Nitpicking: We will replace the blue technic pins with black ones, since the axel is black as well
  20. Withacee
    Absolutely smashing! Supported. Great details, and what a lovely atmosphere you created. Add some snow on the roofs and it will fit in my Winter Village, as well! Keep clicking those bricks together.

    Sand red. Yes. Sand red. Must have sand red. Definitely. Gimme.

    It's in the description of the original Youtube video, like he says. http://ge.tt/498NPKi2

    These are really cool! Some great parts usage as well. Very creative, congratulations!

    I wondered about that as well; from the inside it looks like some sort of heating radiator, but it seems to slide out of the back.. Maybe a foldable ladder to get to the upper floor?
