Enjoyable Lego Documentary on Netflix

"Inside : Lego" documentary has recently been added to Netflix. It's a nice behind the scenes and business summary of Lego. I really liked the snippets when they showed the machines making or sorting the Lego - if only those were actually made of Lego :)

Re: Want to build townhouse row, anyone want Pet Shop store?

I actually like the Grand Emporium as well ! Maybe its just the colour and the columns from the 80s that are throwing me off on the City Hall.

Sorry for the late update. I was to embarrassed to post last week as my Seattle plan was canceled yet again. However I went yesterday so finally now have *two* (not three) PetShop sets. Please send me a direct private message and I'll arrange drop offs. The boxes are sealed, when I meet you I'll ope...

Re: Want to build townhouse row, anyone want Pet Shop store?

Thanks for the tip. I've never successfully managed to buy a modular during one of those sales.

The family plan to go down to Seattle this last weekend fell apart, I'll just go by myself likely this weekend. Thanks for waiting everyone.

Ah yes, forgot about the mini figs. Yup I'd appreciate getting the bicycle. You can have most of the mini figs and the manuals. I'm pretty sure each set comes in different sealed bags. I won't open the Pet Shop side bags. Thanks. Let me know if you are interested. I likely won't pick up the sets unt...

Hello, I'd like to build a row of 3 townhouses. The townhouses come with the Pet Shop Modular building. Is anyone interested in buying the Pet Shop side ? One person doesn't have to buy all three extra Pet Shop buildings, let me know if you want just one. I'll buy them from the US so the cost will b...

Re: bn.com 30% off

Sweet ! So normally B&N will ship lego to Canada ? If so that's fantastic specially if they carry the more special items like the train sets. Ordered the Lego Creator Apple House. 2/3 the Canadian price including shipping.

Re: Making a MOC - Not understanding ordering Lego

Really appreciate all the replies. So far I've bought the Pet shop and Grand Emporium, and while building them I'm definitely noting down interesting elements and techniques. My initial plan for a MOC is to build a structure like the townhouse half of the Pet Shop, which I really like. Like any good...

Making a MOC - Not understanding ordering Lego

Hello, New to Lego and the forum. This very likely has a very straightforward answer but I can't find it. I'd like to create my own Modular Buildings, and want an overview of what my customization options are. I'm aware of Lego Pick A Brick http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-Custom-Mix-Match-El...

Re: 7/24-7/30 ToysRUS USA has a BOGO50 on all LEGO

How are you paying ? ToysRUS US doesn't seem to take Canadian credit cards. I've heard those pre-paid visa cards work but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks.
