LEGOshop.com news (General) Posted by Huw, Feb 2 2010 2:55AM
The next modular building, 10211 Grand Emporium, is now listed at LEGOShop.com, and will be shipping at the end of February in North America and Europe.
Here are quick links to the shop: USA | UK
I was anticipating that LEGO would 'big-up' its launch because, you may remember, they asked me to remove the images we posted at the beginning of January so as not to spoil the surprise. I guess that given none of the other fan sites pulled the images, they decided not to bother.
Update 6th Feb: For some reason the set has been removed entirely from LEGOshop.com: the links above lead nowhere now. All very strange, particularly given it's already for sale in UK brand stores.
I have built this for work. Its a masterpiece. Goes really well with the rest of the sets. Can't wait for the next one!!!!Hopefully a pub or bank! *Fingers crossed.*
What date will the shop be selling it, Pumpkin?
26th Feb or 20th Feb for USA
Pumpkin works in a LEGO brand store (so says his profile!) so I wondered when it would be selling it.
When we get it in. So last week in Feb/first week in March.
Thanks, Pumpkin Jack! Also, this looks amazing. Any news on the official pricing?
Nice looks amazing indeed. Check out the new photo's on the lego site :DI buy it for sure... cant miss this one..
This will make a fine addition to ny collection. :)
Nothing official but it looks like to be £99.99 in the UK. There will be ones on display in all 3 stores leading up to release date. So if you want a look, pop in.
@Pumpkin Jack: Well, HQuiff lives in Ireland, which is quite a few miles from England! :) BTW, this model looks GREEEEEEAAAAT!
Strange......when I saw this yesterday the release date was February 20th.I wonder why they pushed it (the release date) back further?
Never noticed the billboard on top board. Are those new parts holding the flood lights up there?
I don't under stand. Fire brigade was set in the 30's, but this looks really modern with the scooter, escalator and bill board
Sometimes I wish Lego would release sets seperately to make a single Final set. Knowing i have to spend 100 bucks on a single purchase is scary sometimes.
The Grand Emporium was delivered earlier than expected ... today in fact & has gone out on the shelf at the Milton Keynes store :-)
@ Hamish 100, The fire station is one of those city buildings that are historic and was built in the 30's I think.@ Bluemoose, Do you mean on the shelf as in displayed, or on sale?
on sale. to buy. and take home. and build :-)
Very nice, one to get. Still after the fire station too. But as already said, £100 a time is a lot.
This is a BIG must get!
It looks really nice, If I had a ton of money, I'd get all the modular building, I think lego does a really good job on them. Kevin30
Oh my gosh! what a cool looking set! The intricate details show LEGO really paid attention to it when they made it! I'd like to expect more of these from LEGO first the Death Star and now this? LEGO is really stepping it up. Take that Mega Blocks! (I dont hate them though) I really like the cool billboard!
Oh wow this set is spectacular! I will have to start saving up money to buy it. :)
cool!!?!
Hamish100: The fire brigade set was that the building looked like it was made in the 1930's as well as the engine but itwould still be around today and the Grand Emporium is more modern. It is not like the Queen's palace or The White House are torndown to be remade, right?I wonder what is on the third floor? the only one we have not seen. I want to know how to build that chandelier.
There is a bird house, scooter and Balls on the 3rd floor.
I'm still seeing Grand Emporium in lego.com and release date has been moved yet again. February 17th this time. 2 weeks!
I've just checked lego.com and the date has moved again to the 26th Feb now! Bluemoose mentioned that it was available on the shelves at Milton keynes lego store, I wondered if anyone knows if the Bluewater centre has them in yet? I need this set in my life ASAP!
All the UK stores are supplied by the same route; give Bluewater a ring to check first, but I'd expect them & Brighton to have it (if they haven't sold out already) -Bluewater Lego Store - 01322 427272Brighton Lego Store - 01273 772670Milton Keynes Lego Store - 01908 234960
Thanks for all your help guys. I get it now.
huw or bluemoose i was wondering how much it would be because i might get it for my birthday!!!
Are there any pictures showing it next to the other modular buildings?
I haven't seen it myself, but I've been told it's £140UK.
The US is still up.
£140!!!!!That's a 40% premium over the price of the Firestation and green grocer.
Cheers bluemoose, I will call before I go because its a 300 mile round trip for me to go the lego store or perhaps I should just be patient and wait for it to arrive at lego.com. Has anybody seen any pics of the upper floors?
I had a choice on what to save up for, this or split the cost of an Ipad, I chose this, much cooler.
ok thanks 4 ur help bluemoose
Confirmed! Milton Keynes has them on sale now. At £139.99. And there are a couple left
Why has it been removed from lego web site in UK
@Pumpkin: Woah, £140??? It actually sounds cheap for what you get...
It's gone from S@H. Lego keeps underproducing their exclusives. They've been going on backorder, and now they're so behind it seems they had to re-hide it!
This set looks amazing! I loved the detail on all the others, but this one is something else! It has so many details, so I can't resist buying this, to add along to my Medieval Village, Death Star, Green Grocer, Fire Brigade, etc! I can't wait in the U.S.! There are not any Lego stores nearby me though, so I have to wait for S@H....
I got one from Bluewater this morning. They have plenty of stock in their storeroom but are not at all sure whether they should be selling or not before the end of the month. I phoned them earlier to ask whether they had any in stock at which point they consulted with Lego MK and then agreed to sell. Later at the shop they said they are not allowed to sell and Lego MK were in some kind of trouble, but I could have one since that it is what they told me on the phone!
I was going to drive to Bluewater to pick one up but if they have been stopped from selling them until the end of the month I'll have to wait! How frustrating knowing they are there for the taking but I can't have one yet!
That's it, I'm going to rob one of these stores, no more waiting and dangling them in our faces, who's in?JK, i'm a cool guy, no stealing for me. Are the instructions up yet?
Whomever bought one in the UK should throw it onto Ebay and watch the ravenous mania insue... 10x initial investment return?
Love this, as I do the rest of the CC-standard stuff, but the £40 hike has left a very bad taste in my mouth...
looks awesome
Cool endlich mal eine tolle Seite über lego
The quick links above now take you to the set on shop @home but it is showing up as unavailable sadly, still, at least it's back on the site so hopefully those magical words "Available now" will appear soon! I am checking everyday. I am also keeping an eye open for the instructions appearing online because if I remember correctly the instructions for the Fire brigade appeared before the set was actually available. I was going to order 10210 Imperial flagship at the same time but that is now on back order until April! Does anyone know if either the Milton Keynes or Bluewater lego shops have this in stock? Apologies for drifting slightly off topic.
It is back on lego shop
MK has loads of 10210 Imperial flagship in stock.
