  1. Ah, what do you mean ?
  2. I took inspiration from the new swamp police station to make a small post office to join my Octan gas station from last year......redoing Port Belair over again. The idea was to keep things simple yet realistic......keep watching !
  3. Totally sick looking battle cruisers.......a blend of Space Battleship Yamato and Babylon 5......the only pity is.....it's not minifig scale, if it was....man, it would be smegging huge ! Brick On 'xtof' !
  4. I think I did read that else where about the mudguards......hmm, finally do Lego realise that cars and trucks use different wheels ? Could we see this change the vehicles in GV series for next year ? Now on the subject on copying ideas, etc., on Cussoo/Lego Ideas once you sign over your rights posting a project you are screwed, you have lost your creation unless it reaches 10K.....funny Pekko's did, and it got turned down.......a few years later hey, presto a Lego store in City Square.......if anyone should be upset it should be him. Now we need to just stick to the topic......no sense drifting off course anymore. Who has noticed the "1932" on top of the Lego store ? (year they started if memory serves me correct) Plus this set has lots of small stickers by the looks of it too.
  5. My guess it's a retail exclusive so that's why we haven't seen it yet.......#41108 LEGO Friends Grocery Store – £34.99
  6. What a delightful scene.......excellent plant life and stone wall construction 'monsinjor'.......Brick On with your Friend's !
  7. Cool ride......very low rider .......Brick On Cruise On 'piratecox' !
  8. Now who doesn't dig the London style cab by the Grand Hotel eh ? I wonder if there is a TV in one of the bedrooms so the pop star can have a meltdown and throw it out the window ?
  9. Ah, but it's a news copter reporting on road conditions, etc., it could been worse there could have been another police car ? Edit - I noticed that who ever built the hot dog cart.....yeah I know I thought it was an ice cream vendor but it's a hot dog guy....well, that cart is not how it looks in the box art.....oop's. Edit No. 2 - on the light post by the Lego Store there appears to be a bus stop sign.....I wonder if it's the same sticker as the one in TS from 2013 ?
  10. Very true, though I think in the CS one you can place the car either on top or bottom floors.....but again need more pictures. Edit - note that the two Lego shop guys and the coffee chain girl appear to have all new torsos. Edit No. 2 - by the way it's really amazing how some ideas well....... Remember Pekko's design......10K it got and turned down by Lego......and look what happens eh ?
  11. Well, you haven't been the only one...... And that formed part of a display which Lego reps view my handy work.....May 2014. Now to stay on target, do I spy in the car showroom new 4 wide panels in trans clear or not ? Edit - not......it appears to be only 2 wide 5 high bricks in trans-clear. Edit No.2 - I have the answer for the overhang.......a sliding wall/window to drive cars in and out of the showroom, note look closely at the bottom floor a one stud gap is between the two 6 wide 5 high trans clear panels.....gee, someone was working overtime on that one at Lego.
  12. Now I don't often say this......but that design is really funky.......I the design inside and out plus the action or goings-on there. Brick On 'sdrnet' !
  13. I grabbed this for parts and new cops for a MOC I'm planning. Plus this today to complete my first half year City collection......now to save up for 60097 !
  14. I'm not underwhelmed with City Square at all......it will go perfectly with TS from 2013.......I wonder if that was the idea similar to the modular buildings to go together in a series ? Or the fact we have so much police and fire services there was a need for a set to give cops and fire fighters jobs to do ? Edit - I might have just worked out those red hinge pieces......they are the backs of tyre & rim displays. Edit No. 2 - flatbed truck uses same rims but different tyre profile to the cars around it.
  15. 'legomilk' posted this in the train forum....... If you look carefully you will see the copter is a TV news copter ! Though for the price we only get an old school spanner/screwdriver for the service centre not the new tool wheel.......hmm, And centre is spelt the American way.......not cool, Lego. Edit - found this on Brickset...... Question is what are those red hinge pieces doing there and what's with the one stud overhang on the car showroom near the flatbed breakdown truck ?
  16. I'm not happy with something to do with City Square.....it just dawned on me......where the basic idea come from Cussoo Mini Shops Project.....the one that reach 10K but was rejected by Lego......I wonder what other ideas have been stolen from other AFOL's. I don't mind having ideas used by Lego, but at least say something about where the original concept come from.
  17. We again can not judge it on two photos......the windows open up from the bottom to put minifigs in their seats, so is that simple ? Plus the question on PF'ing it again we need to see more photos, etc.,......I have seen the previous tram PF'ed a few years back.
  18. We need to see more of the set to truly judge dollar value.....in any case I'll be buying it.
  19. AWESOME.....lets just hope the real done comes in Lego one day eh 'Criga88'.......Brick On Drive On.......hmm, hey wait James was first ?
  20. Cool tour bus......though not real life though.....it is not trashed ! The Grand Hotel is delightful......might need to get instructions when available. I too am dying to see the grocery store.
  21. I was never was a fan of the 13 Ghosts series.....no Fred or Velma in that series......I hope they just stick to the original series.
  22. We can always hope it might be the beginning of a new era for City.......separating non city based designs from the city theme.
  23. In the original series there were no real monsters......just crooks trying to put one over everyone else except those meddling kids and a dog. More recently SD has been dealing with real-ish monsters......I dislike those episodes, I want that I'll watch Harry Potter instead.
  24. Cool design......I can see a Star Fury trying to break free......Brick On 'Brickthing' !
  25. True we need a close up look at the kiosks and shop/showroom and those underwater wrecks are just that.....so they don't look new right ? Either it's an increase in police state activity or it's for TV news reporting.
