Holy crap! That is the most impressive looking official set I dare say I have ever seen! And this will be part of a modular series? That is so awesome. I too am buying 99% of my LEGO from Bricklink or Pick-a-Brick these days, but this just may pull (...) (18 years ago, 7-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) I have to ask about the minifig guy in the front corner, the one with the broom. What is he sweeping? Are those oranges? What pieces are those? Are they spheres? If so, do I detect micro-scale GBC possibilities? Rafe (18 years ago, 7-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) I have to agree with you John, about the pricing situation. For that money you can get quite a haul at Bricklink. What I don't like about the model is the windows. Granted the arches over them on the 2nd and 3rd floor give it a nice Victorian (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Hmmm, for that price I can go to Bricklink and create a similar sized KILLER MOC™ of my own design. What's interesting to me is that I blanche at that price point, but I'll spend whatever it takes to build my own. Go figure. JOHN (18 years ago, 6-Mar-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
