A sad day for you, but a good day for the rest of us, how generous of you! I would be interested in any Harry Potter you have, I've always wanted some HP figs but never had the funds to pick up a set. cheers

For anyone in the north west of England Tesco in Bury have a good amount. One box which is mostly empty and about 5 unopened boxes. Plus it's located by the cookware (an odd location) at the back left of the store so you can rummage through at your leisure! I got nearly all 16 only missing an Artist, Hockey Player and the Monster Plus the still have 1 unopened box of Series 3! There are also another 6 unopened boxes in various other shops around Bury of Series 3. They do not seem to be in high demand here at all!

Minifig: Hula Girl Theme: Island A Hula Girl enjoying some time on the beach with a broken coconut! The overhang from the palm leaves is less than 2 studs. I can provide a clarification picture if needed. Thanks for running this fun contest :D

Looks great! I love how you have managed to retain the feel of the 10199 set, yet given it your own distinctive take on it. I also like how its really hard to tell its modular when its all stacked together, I have found getting the blend just right so it looks like a 'full' building (if you get my meaning?) is one of the hardest things about building modular buildings. So great job!

Looks fantastic, I'm gonna buy the winter toyshop tomorrow, then this will have to be purchased as well to compliment it! I have to say tho, it doesn't look as big as 10199 Winter Toyshop, maybe because that included a house and a large tree, where as this has a house and more little vignette pieces.

@ Squiz and Burman: Thanks for the comments, you have pretty much confirmed what I thought about the tan section. The main problem with that section is the pillars on the front wall is on jumper plates whereas the tan pieces aren't, so the tallest it can go is up to where the tan tiles are, leaving a section of black at the top. I tried it cause I really like the tan colour, but it does look a bit too boarded up, I agree. I may try it in dark grey instead, I think black would be a bit too dark and I originally had it in light grey but it just looked too plain. It also just occurred to me that I could use jumper plates to align the tan (soon to be dark grey) pieces with the pillar pieces. Why I didn't realise that before is baffling! Also I never even thought about the Disco Stu collectible mini-figure, now I will be on the hunt for him! As for other buildings, I have some plans for a sports/outdoors shop to go on a 16 x 32 base, but I used up most of my correct coloured pieces with this build. I may attempt to build it anyway with random colours to keep the creative side of my brain active again, and then do a mass bricklink order come payday

Thanks for the comments guys! Oops, I've edited it so there is a now a pic with the GG, as you can see its a little bit taller than the GG, and probably the other official modular buildings. @Marckeyh - I did think of adding gutters but I decided against it, I may add some to the back with a drainpipe running down the back of the building to give the back a bit of detail. And yeah, the half window bothers me to, but I didnt want to move the largest window to the right one stud, as it looked out of place, as it is now perfectly aligned with the door. And I also didnt want to lose the strip of red going down the side of the middle part. Such is the frustration of building in a 32 x 32 space Oh, and of course they serve stella

Hi all, long time lurker, short time poster here. I have just come out of the 'Dark Ages' and have made my first MOC in probably 10 years. Its a nightclub, Club VII, and is done in the style of GG. I had to try a modular building after I recently built GG and loved every step of that gorgeous building. I think I have done quite well, I started last saturday, and finished it today (Well its 99% complete, just waiting on one last batch of parts from Bricklink.). I only really stopped to eat, drink, sleep and work really :P The main style of the building is inspired from a local nightclub I used to frequent when I was younger. I love the style of the building, almost art deco melded with more traditional architecture. I like the effect I got with various different building techniques, however I'm not still sure if the top part looks too out of place. Oh well, its built now So without further ado I present to you Club VII The outside I've got a new black 6 stud high door to put in, but I forgot to put it in before taking these pictures. The Interior of the ground floor. The DJ booth. The all important Bar The interior of the first floor overlooking the dance floor. A nice chill out pad up here All the modular floors together. The managers office is on the top section. The managers desk, he is playing a game when he is supposed to working, naughty! The safe for the nightclub, very secure for all the money it takes from the citizens on lego towns once they discover alcohol... The back of the building, still needs a little work up top, more white tiles are needed for the back section and part of the side. (this took up LOTS of white 2x1 tiles) And here it is with the GG. I hope you like it :) I eagerly await your comments and constructive critism (I'm very critical about my building, there are a few sections I am not happy with at all, but I will not mention them here because I don't want to draw attention to them ) Thanks for reading, Temet Nosce

Thats fantastic! I love the colour scheme, a great addition to your street. The popcorn is a great addition and very cute!

I love the garden at the front of the building, and the interior is great too! Oh and that street scene is making me so jealous right now :P

Thanks for the Power Miners offer Naldo. With all that orange and lime green, I couldn't resist at 50% off!

It looks a LOT bigger in the video than it does in the pictures, and I love how even the Lego designer is raving about all the tan cheese! It seems this thread is less about the Tower Bridge model and more about the excitement for tan cheese :P

This happens to me all the time, its kinda embarrassing when I'm in the pub and find random elements in my pocket! However I have a Lego wizard on a keyring on my keys, so I guess I always have some Lego on me :P

Haha, this is marvelous. Brilliant use of the new figs! Truly an entertaining scene

Brilliant, fits in really well with the other buildings :). I really like the detail in the freezer of all the ice-creams and the little beige cones stacked up.

Excellent work! While I wouldn't have personally chose the colour scheme you did, it really paid off, and I can certainly imagine an actual boutique to have these colours. Oh and love the little alleyway, it adds such character to the building :)

Thanks for the warm welcome all. And yeah it is a small Internet, I guess miniature gaming goes hand in hand with miniature building!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while, but I figured it was about time I get more active on these forums! I'm Robert and I'm 22 and I have just come out of the 'dark ages' of Lego. I now find myself with lots of Lego from my childhood and lots of time to play with it. I hope to posting some MOCs in a few weeks :) My main interest is the Star Wars lego, in fact I got back into Lego a couple of years ago, when I received the gigantic Millennium Falcon as a Christmas present. I also love the old Adventurers line set in Egypt, so I have a few ideas for MOCs based on that range. However before then I have 80 ziplock bags of lego to sort out before I can really get started on anything. I hope to get to know you all better, I'm more used to chatrooms but I will try to be as active as possible on here :) Thanks
