Yeah, that's them. I had to buy Café Corner and Green Grocer from scalpers cause I was late to the game, so those two cost me an arm and a leg, but luckily I could get the others for more or less MSRP. My favourites are Brick Bank and Downtown Diner -- BB just looks stunning, and DD was a great build with lots of amazing techniques. Both are highly recommended, but I think BB just got retired.

Still on the way home from Paris  (Aphex!), will try to take a few snaps when I'm back.

These make me pine for the days when I was 14-15 and had a 6' x 8' board on a tabletop and had my LEGO city on it in my room...

I had an airport, train station, gas stations, rail crossings... it was soo fun to build

I don't know, I never got that far.

If you're in Europe, there's a Spanish store called El Corte Inglés that has 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon, the biggest Lego set of all time, for €595,30 (30 % discount) incl. shipping.

Deal

Still a lot of dough for 13 kilos of plastic, but I doubt it's gonna get much cheaper, so get it while the gettin's good.

 

Edit: Aaand it's gone!

Edited September 25, 2019 by IDEM
Price even lower now

El Corte Inglés was the shit when I was kid. They had so many different Star Wars toys!

"The English Cut"? Sounds like a store where they would primarily sell butter knives...

I believe it's "The English Court", which sounds just a bit more majestic.

I knew a freelance circumciser - the pay was bad but he got to keep the tips

Lego has greenlighted Pirate Bay, Sesame Street and Playable piano for Ideas.

Here' a video of the piano. Pretty IDM, I'd say.

I don't know if that's an unhealthy obsession with LEGO, Pikmin, or both!
