    Lovely color usage. The white roof is a bold choice, and it works well.

    I suspect that the LEGO group wanted nothing to do with bringing Bionicle back. Think of the production impacts of producing a large Bionicle set.

    I am excited for this set, more excited than I have been in a long long time.

    ^ Mine says February 20th.

    I appreciate that you created a moc with playability in mind, that is often overlooked and sacrificed. Well done. P.S. I am surprised by the lack of dark grey.

    This is great! Thanks for the update. Thankful you and your family is safe.

    ^ I sold all of mine as I simply could not find a good solution. They are so bulky and unless you have multiples they do not stack well at all. I stored them in a large plastic bins in storage for the longest time.

    +1 for the good looking moc. -1 for charging the community for instructions.

    I agree. I don't like the strategy LEGO uses to create a positive buzz. It's manipulation, unfair, and ultimately caused distrust and is a disservice to the community. I am disappointed that my four main sources of LEGO news all had nothing but great things to say about the free set they got before the rest of the LEGO peasants. There are plenty of areas of constructive criticism. The most obvious to me is the gap on the left wall. The gap on this set is way worse than the corner garage and not one of my four sources called that out. Throw some crawling vine, or snot it, or something.

    Where did you read of a turquoise roof?

    I very much agree with this post. I hate waiting.

    Rumors are it has 3033 pieces, $200 usd. I was hoping for something larger for the 15th. I hate waiting...

    The Ahsoka Brickheadz looks decent, not great, but good. You can find pictures on reddit.

    I also own every modular. I actually have 2 or three of each, except the Diner and Cafe Corner. I did not enjoy the Diner build or the end result. The Green Grocer is still in my top 5, the first floor in that modular holds to the test of time. I don't want to stir a debate, but highlight that each and every modular is a good set, most are great sets. I hate waiting...

    ^ It looks better as a corner. Well done.

    Sike has had many failed business in the past. His biggest failure was Sike Costumes. However, he is now running two successful businesses out of his three story building that is located next to the city Police Station. He has a gun shop on the first floor where he has over 50 guns and hundreds of boxes of ammo in stock. This business is in the black, but it is more of a front than his primary focus. Sike's apartment is on the second floor where he relaxes and streams his favorite shows. Sike spends his evenings working in his lab on the top floor, where he produces the towns best "blue sky candy." This is by far his most thriving business. More pictures can be found on Flickr

    I think the Assembly Square will be around another year or so. But that said; the Assembly Square is a great modular that will go up fast if it does go unexpectedly. I would get it sooner than later.

    You should forget the old and just buy what is available now. There are four great models to pick up ASAP. The new buildings are superior and are available at MSRP. There are some exceptions and eBay is sometimes cheaper than brickinking a set, especially if you want the instructions. 10278: Police Station 10270: Bookshop 10264: Corner Garage (move fast, this one will be gone come January) 10260: Downtown Diner 10255: Assembly Square (this is a great build) 10251: Brick Bank 10246: Detective's Office (can still be found reasonable on eBay) example 10243: Parisian Restaurant (I'll make an exception here, this is worth the 250-300 you pay on eBay) example 10232: Palace Cinema 10224: Town Hall 10218: Pet Shop (can still be found reasonable on eBay) example 10211: Grand Emporium (can still be found reasonable on eBay) example 10197: Fire Brigade 10185: Green Grocer 10182: Cafe Corner The strikethrough ones I think are not worth the price. I am speaking from experience as I purchased them all as they came out.

    Ordering pieces is the most expensive way to get a pile of block to build a castle. Not to mention, it is not ideal when it comes to fostering creativity either. I would recommend buying: two or three of 31120 21325: Medieval Blacksmith Any combination of the following: 80024: The Legendary Flower Fruit Mountain 21326: Winnie the Pooh 11016: Creative Building Bricks Then stop by your local pick a brick wall and get what you can in bley. Also ask an employee if there are any other bley pieces in the back.

    What a silly question.

    I'm trying to buy you, but the crappy lego.com won't let me add you to my cart.

    Like most, an extra floor looks nice on this one.

    Please be Chris McVeigh, please! That would mean we are getting a full size arcade on the first floor and a computer repair shop above. I don't suspect we will ever see a single use building. The multi-purpose building have a wider audience appeal. Also the playability of a multi purpose set can not be ignored. When kids pick a building to play with, they ALWAYS pick the multi-purpose buildings. I have all of them on display and the DO or AS are picked 80% of the time.
