The Next Modular: Town Hall (10224)

airjordan · January 2012

@kks , thanks for pointing that out.. I'm sure that's all I will think about when I display this in my home.

brickupdate · January 2012

@dodys Thanks for all the photos!!!!!! The thing that is most surprising to me so far is the new box shape/orientation.

coolpix · January 2012

@brickupdate I noticed that too, and found odd that you open the box from the top (or bottom).

dodys · January 2012

@dimefield: I don't think so ... they were just sold the box to me when they see the notice "to not sell it before Feb 1st or Mar 1st" ...

dodys · January 2012

@brickupdate, @coolpix: what did you mean with "new box shape/orientation"? it's a normal box, normal opening from the top...

dougts · January 2012

all the other modular boxes are oriented so that when upright, they are wider than they are tall. This box is taller than it is wide. It could be the same actual size, just turned 90 degrees, likely to incorporate the fact that the picture of the Town Hall itself is taller.

can you confirm the box size is the same as the other modular boxes? hard to tell from picture.

Grogall · January 2012

@dodys, So when can we expect to see more pictures?

Thanks

brickupdate · January 2012

Yep, I assume that the box is the same exact size, but will be displayed on the shelf differently than the other modulars: tall instead of wide.

dodys · January 2012

Yes, you're right, I didn't noticed that ... It's taller than it is wide.

Here are the rest of the pictures ...

I've just finished it.

dodys · January 2012

The box size is 58cm X 48cm X 12cm.

So it's the same size as grand emporium ...

dodys · January 2012

Btw, for the ones interested ... The package includes also 4654448 ...

vwong19 · January 2012

^ it seems like Lego thinks we need 10 of the new brick separators because it seems like every set over $50 has one. I'm glad I only bought 1 green one.

Grogall · January 2012

@dodys, Thanks for the pics,
2 things? could you post the instructions # it starts with a 6 or 7 and can be found on the back page!
Also if you have any of the other modulars can you post a picture of them together?

Thanks!

llanowarsoldier · January 2012

Anyone else notice that instead of stairs the building has an elevator instead? Sweet!

Legoboy · January 2012

@dodys - just out of interest, how much was it?

dodys · January 2012

@flump6523 - 900 RON which is aproximative 210EUR.

dodys · January 2012

@grogall - If I am right, I think the # are:

#1 - 6010738 / 6010742
#2 - 6010740 / 6010744
#3 - 6010741 / 6010746

I will make a picture with other the rest of the modular buildings tomorrow morning ...

Legoboy · January 2012

Thanks Dodys. Wow, Eur 210. I wonder if that's going to carry across Europe? Wow!

yys4u · January 2012

210 EUR are you kidding me?? That's like 270 USD!!! That's WAY too much!

But seeing as how US gets everything cheaper... it could be 210 USD right? :)

oldtodd33 · January 2012

Did anyone notice the lack of FB on the back of the box? I'm betting on $199.99.

brickupdate · January 2012

Good catch on the lack of Fire Brigade. That will be the next one to watch sell out everywhere. I'm thinking $199 as the very lowest they would sell this for. My gut is they won't go higher, but I would not be surprised if they did. I would easily believe $220 or $240.

The_Brick_Builder · January 2012

The most I'm willing to pay for this set is $225, but I don't think it will be that high.

krklint · January 2012

If this is $270 American, I guess my days of buying the modulars is over. Even at $240, nope. I'll just moc up my own version from PaB bricks. Will it be as cool? Probably not... but everyone has their breaking point.

Bosstone100 · January 2012

@krklint - I was thinking I may pick up the Fire Brigade in case I decided to buy all the modulars but a set for over $200 will definitely prevent me from collecting them all.

llanowarsoldier · January 2012

So when will we get the "official" announcement from Lego?

Zel_Zakt · January 2012

I think it'll be far cheaper in the USA\main Europe than in Romania! It was 900 RON ($270) on this Romanian Shop site. But other modulars, like the GE, cost near RON 780 ($224) here! Though it's still $149 in the USA:
http://caramidute.ro/c/1/lego-exclusiv Romanian prices have nothing to do with official EUR\USD ones. I think it will be less than $200 (maybe $170-180) in the USA.

Jasen · January 2012

I wish Lego would start putting out some modern modular buildings.
Here here.

Yea!
Apart from the FB car and 2 from Indiana Jones. Not much chance of doing a Lego "Untouchables" any time soon with those big old buildings....

CapnRex101 · January 2012

Those big skylights look perfect for having some terrorists smashing through to hold the mayor hostage!

CapnRex101 · January 2012

And those balconies look perfect for assassination attempts!

Odindusk · January 2012

^ umad bro??

=P

coolpix · January 2012

Someone is watching too many movies.... LOL.

MCNwakeboard · January 2012

Good thing there will be an influx of super heroes to save the day!

MinifiguresPlus · January 2012

Did anyone notice the lack of FB on the back of the box?

Of course, the style of this new modular would have looked bad next to the FB anyway. They both protrude.

dougts · January 2012

they always only show 3 modulars on the box art - the current one, and the last two. I wouldn't read too much into that. I think we can all pretty much be sure that FB is going to go away sometime this year, and Town Hall will be around long after, so it makes sense.

Silber334 · January 2012

And the architecture has a perfect floor plan to enable Legomen from special forces to sneak in and kill the bad guys!

aminster85 · January 2012

I wonder if the elevator will move between floors, or if there is just an empty tube going vertically between all the floors. There is a trap door on the roof above the elevator shaft. If the elevator did move, that would defiantly be awesome, if not, wouldn't be too hard to fix that.

Motxam · January 2012

^In the last image you can see technic bits sticking out at the back which appears to be used to move/lock it between floors.

prof1515 · January 2012

The elevator can be manually lifted up the shaft via an external handle protruding from a slot up the back wall and locked level with each floor.

llanowarsoldier · January 2012

So when should we expect the official announcement from Lego on this set? You would think that with the pics being leaked last week they would have said something by now. If the set is being released Feb 1 as its been said on here and Eurobricks they sure are waiting on this one.

dougts · January 2012

I am still going with March 1. If it was Feb 1, wouldn't they have planned it to be on the February store calendar?

starfire2 · January 2012

I agree^. I don't see anything on the calendar or online.

llanowarsoldier · January 2012

I haven't picked up a calendar since November. That does makes sense if it isn't on the current one. Considering this is a bad kept secret now like GE was before the "official" announcement, TLG should just go ahead and make one now.

Grogall · January 2012

To the people who think this set will not be out in February because its not in the Lego Store calendar, Remember that the pet shop last year was released in May and it was also not in the May calendar!

llanowarsoldier · January 2012

@Grogall

Good point, but the fact that no announcement has been made by TLG yet makes it seem more likely March. Here it is the 18th and if it was to be released on Feb 1st we would have 90% chance heard something by now.

DaddyWhale · January 2012

^^^ I would of course prefer the set to be out on 1 Feb... Is it not the case that sets have been shipped to retail stores? If so, would not holding them until 1 March seem rather inefficient?

BrickDancer · January 2012

The Limo from set 3222 is going to be a perfect compliment to the Town Hall wedding couple. Can't wait until Feb or March 1st (Whichever it ends up being)!

Grogall · January 2012

The official information for the Pet Shop was released 4 days before the set was released!

veritas313 · January 2012

Does anyone know the release date for this set? Lego.wikia says Feb or March.

yys4u · January 2012

I don't know the official or exact date, but from what I've heard it's March.

Coolsplash · January 2012

Whenever it gets released, I know I will buying it in late 2013 :D My eyes are on another pair of GE and FB and PS (as another pair of GE and FB with bring me closer to make either the CC or GG or MS). Wish me luck guys.
