Art sets are always quite a high price to start with but get nice discounts shortly after release, makes them much more attractive to buy

Just hope Lego don't try and recreate The Scream painting, not sure it will end well😂

If I was ever to get it I will certainly need a big discount, problem is there are so many other sets I want more I may end up having to pass on it, unless my wife wants it of course😂

Yeah that's how I feel with the Art sets, they always get big discounts and in many cases not that long after a set comes out

I have not heard of that painting so googled it, blimey absolutely amazing but would certainly be challenging to recreate in Lego I would have thought. I expect this set will be popular, makes the Starry Night set even more essential for the Van Gogh minifigure

Yeah the grey isn't exactly 100% accurate but I really do prefer it in grey, looks a nice colour combo with the bits of red. Lego must be running out of Star Wars sets to do helmets for now lol

@TheDyslexicGeak well I don't think they're running out of ideas, lol. It just looks like they are bouncing around their adult themes. Notice we don't have any diorama so far this year, and no rumors seem to point to any for the rest of it. I wouldn't be surprised if midiscale ships get a break next year or the year after.

@ this is the most sensible thing anyone's said about this set yet 👏

Looks nice doesn't it🙂

I don't know maybe to differentiate it from storm/clone troopers but it works for me, certainly waiting for a sale though

I was thinking of pairing it with my UCS AT-AT also. I think they are printed pieces, would be crap if they are stickers.

@ quite a few stickers sadly. Some printed pieces

👍

Thank you my friend🙂

Yeah can definitely see the Houses/Shops of the world in this set but they were great as promos, not sure this works in a retail set and charging $79.99/£69.99. Think Lego have been a little ambitious with the price here. Thankfully it means I can spend what I was thinking of spending on this set on something else🙂

@TheDyslexicGeak I do agree it's a little pricey. But what isn't nowadays? lol. Also, between printed pieces and a great amount of detail. I think I'm starting to understand Lego's logic a bit more nowadays. Lots of smaller pieces that provide better detail as compared to the sets of the past

Hard to blame the designer. They have limitations to what they can do. Lego is the one that sets the building program.

Oh its not the worst design by any means lol, certainly disappointing but not sure its entirely the designers fault. Lego would likely have given the brief for a design they wanted, with a piece count and budget to work with.

Im very much hoping they are printed pieces as it means they will possibly come to Pick a Brick at some point. I hate putting stickers on windows/clear pieces, always end up with finger prints on them. Other brick companies are certainly upping their game, Funwhole look very impressive and way cheaper

Exactly, there are so many great sets coming in 2025, don't need every single set to be a must buy🙂

I just wish it had been larger and minifigure scale. Will love to know what Lego would do that represents a British restaurant if they ever do it😂

Yeah I'm thinking the same, seen a few reviews of it, does look a lot more substantial than my initial impressions of it were

I really was expecting/hoping for way more than what has been delivered, oh well money I can spend on other sets🙂

Oh the Tudor Corner modular is very impressive, putting the finishing touches to mine at the moment. In a way the French Café has done me a favour by saving me money I would have spent on it had it been decent😂

@ ha yeah this is what i’m finding with my other hobbies, ie if you can find a reason NOT to buy something its a good day! 😆

Yeah that's exactly what it feels like, not cheap either

Very much feels Lego are like "oh you liked the shops/houses of the world GWP promos did you, well here is a larger version but with a big price" very disappointing design choice

Its certainly way down on mine so I'm likely never to get that far down my own list lol

Yeah not sure this is going to appeal to many people, far to minimalist

Haha, very good😂

Excellent. I had a good laugh 😂😂

If the doors and windows are indeed printed that would be great, could also mean they find their way into Pick a Brick. I sadly expect they will be stickers but I hope I'm wrong

based on the promotionals it look like all printed pieces. They definitely seem to be targeted this for adults, same as the Gardens of the Worlds sets that also have printed pieces and bases.

@TheDyslexicGeak I have been zooming in on the video on the lego website and those doors look printed, if they are that could justify the price. I will be cutting down on just buying sets this year as everything is so expensive... life stuff I'm talking about now not lego. I got this years modular so will be very savvy going forward with my purchases.

@foreverfornever1124 Those doors look printed will have to wait and see. The cafe does look nice definitely a moc for me.

Will be interesting to see what the moc community do with this set

Yes exactly, this is kind of what I was hoping for when I saw the listing a few weeks back, what a wasted opportunity

Yeah its very hard to see isn't it, I expect the base takes up a lot of the piece count

I wish they'd ship to the UK!

I keep seeing people talk about Funwhole sets more and more and they do look such good value, especially the modular buildings, the fact they include lighting puts Lego to shame really. I love Lego as a company but they do seem to be getting much more complacent over the past few years, especially with regards to the prices of sets, not to mention the over use of stickers in lieu of printed pieces and getting worse. Some good competition is what is required to make Lego up their game

Thank you, yeah some of Legos pricing lately seems way off, not really seeing much of a set here for the money

I will never waste money in cheap looking design lego set. They should cancel this

Too many pieces in the base, take that away and its like a bonus sized GWP. I hope it goes on good discount for the bricks since those ones for the pavers are pricey.

@ Yeah the base certainly looks like where a lot of the piece count is. I expect in a couple of months it will be available at a much lower price.

@ only value to me is parts so kits have to get pretty cheap or re really good small sets which I think are best for parting out in more multiples than a few big sets to make mocs. So I would want two of these at like super good sale and GWP stack.... waiting for the next castle... still have to get the renegade.... so its just fun to watch the trends.

Yeah the head/face was a little awkward for me too, some of the instructions not all that clear. I think its a fab set, so much personality to it🙂

If you are referring to the castle over my right shoulder its the Bricklink Series 1Mountain Fortress🙂

@@TheDyslexicGeak thanks for replying, it was the lost city i was referring to. Its quite nice. As a side note; I have mountain fortress still unboxed, no space and no time to build lol.

@@kapiteinlulhaas7612 Ahh haha I see what you mean now, i misunderstood you lol. When do get round to building yours, it should certainly make you smile, great build and rather solid🙂

I have all of them now but cannot find the wolfpack one anywhere, very hard to get hold of

The Jazz Club is a nice modular, probably not the best modular for the past few years but still looks really good when placed next to the other modulars

Yeah they do come round out of nowhere it seems. That sucks about your fence being damaged. One thing I have noticed with these recent Bricklink sets is they are not selling for much more than the original price on eBay etc so if you miss out, can always pick up in the future

I'm quite grateful for a slow couple of months for Lego releases as from April on its going to be crazy good. Will be interesting to see how quick the Twilight set goes on sale at other retailers. I expect it will sell just fine, just disappointed many people from what I have been reading

@TheDyslexicGeak same here! March is looking more exciting and of course May will be big for me as a huge SW fan, like every year lol. I think my gf said the Cullen house color isn't as accurate so it may effect some people

I'm grateful for slow start to 2025, lets me build up my cash reserves for the spring onwards😂 Ahh didn't realise amazon have the Zelda set but they are as bad as Smyths for not having sale that often. Best bet will be when the Nintendo Store has it on sale again

@@TheDyslexicGeak agree. This could be an expensive year with the rumoured Death Star. There’s a few retiring sets I also have my eyes on like the bugle. Agree about Amazon however I occasionally get vouchers for them so I may end up getting it from there. Zelda is one of my most wanted sets.

I mainly use the US version of the Lego store as that's where the majority of my audience is based🙂

Its a very unique set, its amazing how far Lego designs have come for animals, not an easy thing to translate into Lego

Yeah the Ideas sets can be hit and miss as to how faithful to the concept design they end up being. If Lego could not do this design even remotely close, maybe should pick something else. I feel this satisfies no one. For fans its too expensive for what it is and if your not a fan, its not a great looking set for £190

Yeah I don't know why Lego don't do the luxury style packaging with most of the big ticket sets like they do with the Technic ones. The McLaren is such a nice box, gives such premium product vibes

@TheDyslexicGeak the Lamborghini was the same, gorgeous, premium, tough build! As well as the Bugatti.
