UP!

Hello everyone, has anyone ever tried to take a standard set (or multiple copies of it) and build a modular using only the available pieces? I tried with two copies of Lego City House 4956 set, trying to modularize it without any other additional bricks. Here some pictures: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=379764 I think it would be interesting to see some other projects... 198/5000

Any AE link?...

Here it is: http://www.aliexpress.com/af/lepin-05033.html

I don't understand: the bigfigs shown il left corner of set pictures are added to the original set or what? Can someone answer me?

Anyone already got one new bigfig?... Pictures?...

Do you think there is some possibility to have the big figs sold separetely?

A question: somebody knows if there are clones of Collectable Series? I would be interested especially on last series (from 15th)...

Ops, but some of them are unrealeased instead: Spider-woman, Black Canary, Ms Marvel, for instance...

I've seen this on web, any info about them?

Any other links?

Thanks to all, guys! We are going in the right direction!

Thanks, but I realize it wasn't so clear my purpose... I was wondering about a thread to list images, ideas and links to modularized versions of regular sets, as these beautiful examples: 71006 - The Simpsons House: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=100726 76005 - Spider Man: Daily Bugle Showdown and 6873 - Spider Man's Doc Ock Ambush: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=83150 and so on... Idea was to build a database of inspirational MODs for those interested in modular buildings Thanks for your attention

I would be interested but it depends on price and mainly shipment (I'm from Italy)...

Hi folks! It would be very nice and source of inspirational for some of us, I think, to have here collected all the MOCs and attempts of modularization of standard sets. What do you think about?

Hi folks, I've seen that Pricevortex site has listed the 10253 Big Ben of Creator Expert line. Any info about it?

Yes that's the point! Even if you consider parts number than weight, or phisical size of the builded set, the result is the same. From my point of view, the most important element is the fact that they are using more and more a series of "tricks" to mask and reduce the visual effect of the consistent reduction of sets: rich graphics used as background of the boxes, which "fill" and make sets look less skinny, use of small parts (although special parts, to improve the detail, as someone said above) to increase the count of the pieces, use of separable "sub-models" rather than a "single bloc"k to increase the overall dimensions... Things so. Just compare the pictures of some 2015 sets (for example of the City serie, but not only of course) with similar a few years ago and all these things are evident...

Yes! It is!

Sorry for the little outburst, but it does not seem anybody that Lego is really climbing a vertical road with regard to set prices in relation to the actual content? I am not referring to the number of pieces, because we know that you can easily increase the count using small parts, but to the fact that in recent years we are witnessing a true inflation. While prices rise, modulars are getting more and more smaller, sets increasingly skinny, although the wise use of the graphics on the display boxes masks a little bit the effect... It seems strange to me that no one is complaining about this fact.

Ehm....... Please...

On AE? Link please....

No, I was asking for news... It didn't was clear? Sorry...
