    I think at this point we need a 2020 Architecture thread, or just a vast overall Architecture thread. I saw in a separate post the need for sub forums and I agree, would like to see all the Architecture posts in one sub forum. I have not seen any speculation on the 2020 sets yet though. 2 skylines for sure and hopefully 4 buildings/landmarks are in store for next year. I appreciated the larger ESB this year, but I found it to be almost too big to fit in with the rest. If we are going bigger, I need different display options I guess.

    Thank you! I don't come to EB too much anymore due to this. We really need one sub forum for each line and then an Other category for the CMF and one for the MOC's and such. It is a jumbled mess most of the time. Hard to find stuff. I stick to Architecture and some Creator and a few Ideas sets. I wish I had the money for more but such is life.

    I am sad I missed this one, $199 is a great price for Assembly Square. ugh

    On July 1, I was in my local Lego store and they had 5 sets of the Dragon Boat races for $49.99. The manager told me they got them out of the blue. They did not have the other sets, but I know my sister in law paid $80 a set for them for me in Taiwan. Anyone else see them in the US? This was in St Louis.

    When is this set on sale in the US? I see the Lego Shop at Home has it as coming soon. Never mind replying, I found out it is July 1.

    A long time ago Lego made a fire boat and a police boat that did both float. They had weights at the bottom that you attached so they would float properly.

    Thanks Beyrouth, I hope they are released in Taiwan at the same time as I will tell my relatives to pick me up a couple sets. Appreciate the video.

    Looks pretty small, is that a giveaway?

    Target stores have recently started to stock Architecture as well. I think they are filling the void that TRU left behind.

    Not surprised at the Disney but a little surprised at the Friends set making it. I had heard the Mexico set was taken out of consideration, so maybe they will just make that one as part of the Architecture skyline series. Interesting choices.

    Roger, I looked at your medieval townhouse, great job, supported. You did one thing I would love to see in a modular in the future which is a slanted roof. The closest thing we have is the Parisian Restaurant, but yours is more accurate as a real roof looks in many places. It would be interesting to see if there is ever a roof like that in the next few builds.

    I think DD gets the bad rap and rep is due to the odd use of the floors. A boxing ring on top of a diner? Makes no sense. Corner Garage is a little weird too, a garage with a vet above it. Not exactly something you find, well pretty much anywhere. I like the idea of multiple use, but Brick Bank was another example of "play". Instead of making a full bank, they put a laundry in it. I am not sure you will ever see that combination in the real world. It would be good if they did it all somewhat realistic vs just cramming multiple things together for the sake of creating a multi use building.

    Trust me, your lament is well shared across the board from some of us. I would have 10 sets a year in this line if I could. I really only get this line and the modular each year although the fairground sets are intriguing since there is such a lack of sets in the Architecture line.

    My sister is getting me 2 of each of the 3 Chinese New Year sets so I am thrilled. Will pick them up in July on our visit to her...these look so much better than the little pictures I had.

    A poster on FB recently said 21045 was coming out and is related to Washington DC. You can imagine the speculation, is it a skyline or a building? Most felt DC has been done too much already and other cities/countries around the world deserve some love from TLC. I agree with them. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    Totally agree, Friesen does great stuff. I like it, it's colorful too which Architecture needs, not all buildings are grey, sure Robie was red but most are blander in nature. These little microcities are way better than the skylines. Funny this thread started 8 and a half years ago and still there are so many buildings that could be made, they did make some of them though.

    Paris definitely, I will get both but they seemed to have really not done a great job with SF. GGB is 2D and really the other buildings don't do much for me, although I like Alcatraz in there. The grey building looks like a phallus symbol and the white little tower in front of it even more so...just not good. Paris is much better thought out in my mind.

    So do we need an official Architecture 2019 thread now or just keep using this one and ask an Admin to remove the year in this overall thread? I like skylines but feel Lego is kind of cheaping out on us with so many and not very many buildings anymore. I want to see what the 2 to 4 sets will be for buildings or landscape sets.

    10264 Corner Garage

    Herky replied to Rick's topic in LEGO Town

    I have not read through all 17 pages, but the third floor apartment bugs me. I guess the bed is by the window? So he has a small kitchen, the bed and then the living room with tv. And cookies. And a corner toilet, so no shower, no place to store clothes, no place to do much but bake cookies and watch TV. Just not a good use of that floor in my opinion, but hey, access to the roof where he can get a tan and bring his cookies for guests. I do like it, but just looks way too cluttered, again with putting 3 things in one build, just do a garage or just do a vet's office, stop cramming so much into one build that it looks so over cluttered it doesn't work. Who goes to their Vet's office above a garage?

    Guess it is time to make an Architecture 2019 thread...thanks for posting the descriptions. Still kind of bummed they didn't do a special 10th anniversary Architecture set for 2018.
  22. Herky
    Anyone get the set numbers for these? The link to the press release takes you to a 404 error. I will have to have my relatives in Taiwan find them hopefully.

    Great review, thanks for taking the time to go through the alternative faces as well. That said, I just didn't like the set much. I would give it a 6, putting it together was a bit annoying to me, it wasn't hard to do or complex, but the build was just tedious with all of the clothing pieces. I don't mind repetitive for detail sake but this wasn't a set I thought really needed to be made. However, your review is more why I am commenting, this is the type of review I like to read, it was detailed and very explanatory and I give the review a 10.

    Billund Airport is a micro set and not really part of the Architecture line, it is one of those special sets that begin with the 4 numbers...Some of those are very pricey.
  25. Herky
    For those who have been able to get it, is it worth getting 2 Great Wall's to make it a bigger build or just stick to 1?
