Very interresting angel on the ground floor. I like that very much. The colour-scheme though. REALLY not into that. It's too extreme for my taste and would be an eyesore for the rest of the neighborhood. But thats just me

There's no eeeeeeeend to the possibilties! And if the pilot linup is a succes, it would be an awesome opportunity for the rebirth of the Lego Monorail. There's just so many aspects of the two worlds that compliments each other.

I smell a contest warming up allready... - Who can make the best MOD of the theater floor? With more seats, blinded windows on the inside, seperate projektion room and who knows what else?.... That way we could get tons of great suggestions on alternative movie theaters. No bad feelings Jamie, Astrid or who ever is watching from TLG You guys have given us so much. This beautiful cinema just needs to be "finished" before many of us truly can share the joy of it

Hmmm... what to say? I REAAALLY want to love this and propably will when I get hands on. But I'm not impressed by the theater room itself. True.. I havn't been in Graumans. But in my head a movie theater don't have see-trough windows and an open staircase to the entrance hall. Only 6 seats in a big modular cinema? No seperat projection-room? Even very old cinemas have that. This looks a little classroom'ish to mee. That red baseplate... hmmmm... i bit too "porn" for me. Gotta love those stars in the sidewalk though, and the beautyfull roof and front entrance.

LESS IS MORE! The way you manege to turn two simple colours, white and dark grey, into beautiful realistic architecture is stunning. You've really got talent! And all the great interior details just tops it off.

I really don't get how this amazing modular that gets sooooo much credit these days only have 1200 supporters on cuusoo COME ON PEOPLE!!! When a yellow mascot can get 10.000, then this beautiful cinema and diner really deserve much more. The downside I'm afraid is.... that if Empire Theater/Galaxy Diner SHOULD reach 10.000. Then there's no garantee that we'll see it in stores. TLG will probably say that Empire/Galaxy conflicts with and ongoing projekt (Palace Cinema) like they did with the amazing western modulars Well Sonicstarlight... I see no other solution than, you start selling instructions on ebay

Exactly my point bootz. We are all different and prefer different things and thank goodness for that. The alternative would be too boring, if we were too much alike. But thanks for not taking it personally How about it Grogall? Any new details, or inside pics?

I've come to learn that it is just part of the fora-game. Some people always have to draw attention to themselves by complaining about anything new. "Uhhh stickers are just so bad..." and "I don't like this cause it's different". But hey, it would also get too boring if everybody padded each other on the bag and smiled all the time. But let's remember everyone, how privileged we all are. Most of the folks in here are adult people on the other side of the dark age. And we didn't have ANYTHING like this when we were kids. We could only dream when we went to Billund once in a while. But we couldn't go in the store and buy a building like those in miniature-land. If someone don't like the style of a new building... Tuf' luck... If someone don't like the color's or get a rash when they see a sticker... don't buy the set. But that doesn't change how lucky we are now a days and how far the boundries on whats possible have been pushed. Personally I can't wait to add this beautiful new corner to my street :o)

What a great new modular! I'm very excited that TLG expand the variation of arcitectural looks with this asian inspired building. I think it's good that the buildings doesn't repeat themselves but stand out individually. Let's see some interior!!! And with that limo we just need JFK and a grassy knoll to add a little drama Look exactly like his last ride.

That's really high quality detailing. The round beautifull shapes and almost studless roof, makes you wonder for a second. Is this really lego...? And I mean that in a good way :o)
-
It would be cool, but I highly doubt that palace cinema will be 3x16 wide. If any building should be extra wide, it would have been the town hall. I was a bit disappointed that TH was only 32. And as one of the MOC experts in here showed. Can't remember who. The TH looks really grand and awesome extra wide. You can easily fit a cinema in 32.Therefore I don't think it'll be wider. Even though wide buildings suites any modular street.

Your right. But yes, it will run on the standard rails, since it has the standard axles. Jamie also tells you can add a motor to make it run like the other trains.

Is this good deal for modular buildings?
MadManMingo replied to nana's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
I would buy ten of each if I were you! If you convert the danish standard price for a modular, it's about 275$ Yep, the homeland of Lego is also one of the most expencive places for this hobby -
LDD 4.3.5 is out
MadManMingo replied to Superkalle's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Excellent up-date!!! Really great that they finally cleaned up the inventory, and made more categories. Maybe it's just me who's a total toad. But I just found out now, that you can twist and turn the bricks in the inventory by holding down the right mouse button, just like in wiew mode. COOOOOL -
Dooohh!!! I fell your pain That wedding would have been a whole lot'a fun, if you'ved known. My Lego-buddy went to Lego-world this year in cobenhagen without me. Had to go to Ikea with the wife Off all the thousands of people at Lego-world, my buddy just happened to run into Jamie. Off course he texted me, while I was looking af a couch named "Johann" Sorry Ricecracker!!! Off topic. Who wouldn't want a hot bowl off soup at the movie? I could easily imagine the steamy fumes in the dark theater
-
A cinema would be a great addition. Really looking forward to when Jamie or Astrid makes a fake user on Eurobricks and says: "Hey I'm new here... but I came acros these interresting pic's of the new modular"
-
Love the GT40. Looks like some Lego designers has had a little inspiration here at eurobricks The Mining theme is also great, and decerves additions. But seriously.... another round of new police units and I'm gonna puge Looking forward to the WiiU game. And of cause they'll make some sets of this game. But please!!! Wait just a few years before you'll make a whole new police line-up!!! There are plenty of great City ideas, functions and services that needs building.
-
This town grows on you. I like the fact, that you create a lot of atmosphere with rather simple things. It proofs that you can create a great city without nesecaryly adding expensive modulars or huge skyskrabers. Great effort!
-
Thanks! I would have loved to say, that it was my own design. But it's not. Can't remember just who came up with the idea, but you see it in a lot of moc's from different afol'. Unfurtunately I think it's too fragile to end up in an official Lego set. But you'r right, it's great Also thanks Soccerkid6

... no unfortunately... it's not a Modular Madness contendor... I'm not worthy yet I'm a big fan of Blue Bards creations. That guy really got talent. Way back in 2009, he made a nice little postoffice primaryly of the bricks in 4996. And I thougt, hey great, I got that set, and my town really needed a postoffice. I dumped the yellow beach house and started of. The ground floor is an almnost exact copy of Blue Bards... I totally admit. But I really liked the design. Hope you'r ok with this copycat Blue Bard? Who knew that Steven Spielberg had to work part time as a postman At first my plan was to make it in modular standards. But during the build it didn't seem right and my son needed it more in his city, more than my modular shelf did. A thing was also, that i hated a green lawn outside the front door. That really looked akward. I didn't have enough tiles to make a modular-wide sidewalk. So the decission was made. I took out one side of the building to make it more City-ish and playable for a five year old kid, and I aded a small sidewalk, with the tiles I had. The copying of Blue Bard started to feel wrong too. So I made a different rooftop. Notice the little "Panic button". Just in case... The sailor-guy finally got his stamp. And a few shots in a bigger context. Maybe I'll invert the building to Modular standards some day. But for now, my son has to learn what such a building did in the good old days. The danish postal-service are shutting down most postoffices as a consequence of the digital revolution. Even in rather big cities. Maybe thats why we havn't seen any buildings like this from TLG lately. Thanks for watching
