Tried searching the German LUG for more info but I can’t find (I don’t understand German!).  😛

Sneak pics of new LEGO Architecture sets?

Thought this may interest fans of the Architecture series.

I was looking at the Lego Architecture site today, and noticed something interesting on it. If you look carefully at the background in the main image here, you can see the Empire State building and the Space Needle, plus three others that haven’t been released. Don’t know if they will release those, but the gray one in the middle looks an awful lot like the Burj Khalifa. What do you all think?
I think so too, so here is the pic:
 
Any idea what the others are?

New descriptions of 10218 Pet Shop

Have been checking EB forum for news (erm, leaks).  Hopefully the pics will be out soon.  You can also read more from my previous post about this 2011 modular set.

To ease the waiting to the pictures – some more detailed info about the set (I think it would not harm so close to sale date).Looking forward to buy this set. I like that it has two buildings, so it can be placed between the older buildings.

I like the size, as it will be the same as in the case of Market Street building (i.e. 6 studs pavement in the front and 8 studs backyard). The baseplates will be of green color.

What I have seen (yes, I did see it), the pet shop building has a lot of the blue color (sides, back side), only the front has so little. The MOC of FollowsClosely is pretty close, well instead of pet shop, as there will be shop window and glass door and next to it will be stairs to the house upper floors(with mailbox, light (no light brick).

The brown (with few orange tiles) house will have L-Shaped highest floor with some kind of balcony or how to call it, on the side towards backyard. At backyard will be some stairs to first floor and entrance to the cellar.

Animals that I have seen – two parrots, dog (same as in new Police sets) and a cat with lighter color than the dog. 4 figs (one of them child), green bicycle.

It seems that there are spiral stairs inside the brown/orange house. Black roof on the pet shop, dark red on the brown/orange one (plus removable flat top). Plenty of flowers at the windows (similar to cookies in Winter bakery).

Creating LEGO Stickers

There are quite a number of sticker books around, but in case you want to customise your own LEGO stickers here is a new option:  StickerYou LEGO

Cost is USD $7.49 for 2 pages, and they do ship worldwide and you can have a look at the shipping rates here.  Quality wise, the press release says: “The LEGO stickers from the StickerYou.com website are high quality die-cut stickers that are removable with zero mess left behind. They are water resistant and durable for all kinds of applications.”

Anyway some pics to follow, or you can always check out the StickerYou LEGO site.

New UCS 10221 Super Star Destroyer

Am kinda late with this, but here is the new UCS 10211 Super Star Destroyer.  Price, number of pieces & release date unknown for now…

What do you think?  I don’t remember the ship actually, not as iconic as the Death Star or X-Wing, but then I’m not a true blue SW fan. 😛

New pics for Creator Lighthouse Island & Hillside House

Grogall shares some new pics of alternative builds for two new Creator sets.  New set news have been slow ever since the toy fairs, so hopefully there are more to come.  🙂
