New sets: 10224 Town Hall & 21102 Minecraft

I guess most fans have heard about these 2 upcoming sets for some time now (especially for those who were following the adventures of the one lucky fan who got to build the upcoming modular set weeks ago…), but it’s always nice to have good quality press release pics to salivate over.
I’ll leave you to read the official press release and see the other official pics here:
I am somewhat sad to finally see the official measurements for the Town Hall. It’s 50cm high! Which means… my display shelves are not high enough to accommodate the latest modular set. And since my customized shelves cannot be modified (they are bolted to the wall! wahhhhh), I guess I’ll just have to modify the set when I finally get it.
For the benefit of those of you who will be getting customized display shelves, here are the heights of the modular buildings released so far, from the shortest to the tallest…
- 10218 Pet Shop: 10.5″ (26.5cm)
- 10190 Market Street: 13″” (33 cm)
- 10197 Fire Brigade: 14″ (35 cm)
- 10185 Green Grocer: 14″ (35cm)
- 10182 Cafe Corner: 14″ (36 cm)
- 10211 Grand Emporium: 15″ (38 cm)
- 10224 Town Hall: 20” (50 cm)
Bases are 10″ (25.5) x 10″ (25.5) cm… and do leave space for future expansion of course.
IMO the pic looks weird with the Pet Shop being so much shorter… the Fire Brigade isn’t pictured, which probably means imminent EOL (end of life).
And enjoy the (original) video, and the rare lady designer being featured. 
UPDATE: In case TLG comes yanking this video as well, here are the screenshots from FBTB that has everyone aflutter about the cute 10225 R2-D2 and possibly 10228 Haunted House.
video is private
That’s cos 2 1xxxx sets are revealed in the video. You can see screen grabs of the R2-D2 and Haunted House over at Brickset. The video should work once TLG has edited the accidental leaks from the video.

Oki! Updated from another source the original video with easter eggs. Thanks walshklien!
I am on the fence on the Minecraft set. It’s kinda cool looking, but I don’t know how excited I would be about it if the price was more than like $25.00. The Town Hall looks great, as do all the modular buildings, it’s just probably out of my price range.
@Bricks N More: Definitely more than $25… guess it will be a thrill for Minecraft fans more than LEGO fans.
Yeah, I saw of FBTB that it’s gonna retail for $34.99 might be outta my price range (at least for what I would pay for this set!). I have never played Minecraft, but maybe I’ll get it, just for novelty sake!
Any idea when 10224 Town Hall will be out for sale in SG?
@Audrey: best bet is Toy Station at Serene Centre. They usually get in the latest sets shortly after release via their overseas sources. If you want the official release… Be prepared for a long wait! The mini modulars aren’t even (officially) in SG yet.
I asked Toy Station and they said they might get it by Mid March. But its gonna to be above S$300 I think. Mini modular is also out of stock… apparently they are hoping to restock it by the end of this month! Seems like I am gonna to be poor for a couple of months haha:)
@Audrey: Ahhh… AFOLs/AFFOLs are always feeling poor methinks.
I just built my mini modulars. Really cute!
I just got my mini modular! Will be collecting it tomorrow! Can’t wait!
