  1. I'm curious how the river tape will look covering a large area. It may work out as a good alternative to blue baseplates for bodies of water.
  2. You can put plates over the "T" part and then add tiles for the sidewalk like usual. The other option is to cut off the "T" side and use another scrap bit of baseplate to fill the area.
  3. Drift Train?!
  4. I am using those same knockoff road plates. I had been using paper roads (printed and laminated) as place holders for a couple years. I was waiting until a good deal came around on road plates. I was also hoping Lego would start selling straight road plates individually. Those things never happened. So I spent about $80 for the fake plates instead of $400+ it would have cost to use real Lego plates. Keep up the good work on your city.
  5. It is not available in the U.S. right now either. They have a short note about it being worked on. Hey there! We’re busy making some improvements to our Bricks & Pieces service, so buying bricks isn't available in most countries at the moment. Please check back in a few days. I copy and pasted this directly from the site. Perhaps the same thing is happening in your countries but they haven't bothered to include the note.
  6. Great review. Thank you for going to the trouble of laying out all the pieces, it really makes this set look like an impressive parts pack. Also I appreciate how in depth you went in comparing all the previous versions, I'd forgotten a couple of those existed.
  7. That is basically the Friends Grand Hotel.
  8. I've found that if a piece is showing as out of stock your best off calling and asking about its status. Sometimes they can find the part you're looking for.
  9. That is an SBrick. Not made by LEGO, but LEGO compatible. https://www.sbrick.com/
  10. These look great. I like the Claw Machine, Skee Ball, and Air Hockey table. I don't think I've seen those done so well in Lego before.
  11. I found one thats close- https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-yellow-town-torso-without-arms. This could work too, https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-yellow-city-coast-guard-torso-without-arms. Especially if you remove the radio and badge.
  12. Cool build. It looks straight out of Ninjago. I like the look of the stacked containers- they make great as walls, especially at the corners of the building.
  13. Very Nice. It's great how you've incorporated the various LEGO GWPs. The facade is superb.
  14. Thank you. I like the Masonry Profile bricks, but I hate how they look when they meet in a corner. So I always hide the edges. I hope LEGO ends up producing a corner and 1x1 Masonry brick, I think it would make for cleaner looking brick-brick buildings.
  15. My interiors are sparse at the moment, especially for the apartment. My son wants to furnish them for me. As far as the technic pins, I generally just leave them out. I like to have easy access to move buildings around and having them connected with pins made that frustrating for me. Instead I connect the buildings with sidewalk tiles. I added extra floors to better fit with the city I'm working on. The work in progress (going extremely slow due to waiting for P.A.B. and B&P orders) is going to be "Hogwarts High School".
  16. The axes doubling as door hinges and mirrors is very clever. Do you know what colors it would be possible to build this in?
  17. Here are a couple of quick photos of my conversion. I'll have more time later today if you're interested in seeing better or more detailed pictures.
  18. I've done it in grey, made a couple of changes. I used a lot of parts from #75910 and some stickers cut from old sticker sheets to build this one. Based on the parts needed it is possible to do in red too.
  19. They won't do ideas based on existing themes.
  20. Without having seen it, I'd say it is like 31069: Modular Family Villa. LEGO is using the term modular to mean that individual modules can be rearranged.
  21. Nice. But be careful if/when you take it apart. Galdos isn't known to forgive betrayals, you monster.
  22. There will soon be another option for building a modified Green Grocer. Dark Green bricks with a groove appear in an unlikely place, a technic set. 42069 Extreme Adventures has 24 of them used to build gerry cans. Sariels review on this set shows them. I checked Bricks'n'Pieces but as the set isn't released until August they're not listed.
  23. ^This thread has always been for discussing anything related to Modular Building Sets, it is not limited strictly to rumors.
  24. ^I feel that the beauty/ugliness of any piece of art is entirely subjective, and that it is possible to be an ugly work of art. I think a building with a unique look like that monument building could look good in someones modular city. But if it was available as a retail set and was in everyones city it would lose it's uniqueness and be far less interesting. As for a Gotham building that could work in many cities I would go with the ACE Chemical factory.
  25. I love what you've done with the place. There is a creative and brilliant bit of part usage in every photo. MOC on!
