Mine's on the way, shipping didn't seem to be free for me but i'm so impatient i always use express shipping anyway. Been waiting for this one so nice to have it released a couple of weeks early.

Man, this thing looks cool! Too bad I don't have a source of income to purchase it. Well, time to get lawn mowin'.

Posted by Model Gal in United States, 17 Feb 2013 12:13

I'll be picking it up at the store when I can. This one just might be my new favorite modular.

Posted by ickleb in United Kingdom, 17 Feb 2013 12:29

Mine is on its way :)

Posted by kyzr44 in United States, 17 Feb 2013 12:37

Mine will be here tomorrow, and I was allowed express shipping for free.

Posted by Necofurtim in United States, 17 Feb 2013 13:25

For some reason I was able to get 2-day Express shipping free as well.

Posted by brixton in Canada, 17 Feb 2013 13:38

I will be picking this up. My favorite modular is still the Grand Emporium. The Pet Shop is my second favorite with the Green Grocer rounding out the top 3. I'd put the Cinema at 4 and the Town Hall at 5.

I can wait for the double points coming in March.

Posted by grave.dave in United Kingdom, 17 Feb 2013 13:46

The email I got Thursday evening from Lego said that Standard Shipping is free if you're buying the Cinema - the small print however says that is any orders of £119.99 or more from 14th to 28th Feb.

Didn't need it though as when the email arrived mine was already half built cos I'd picked it up in store at lunchtime.

Waiting after 25th of March for double points (march 25th-april 8th)

Posted by chesney107 in United Kingdom, 17 Feb 2013 14:30

I got mine on thursday!!! Its a lovely model

Posted by piratemania7 in United States, 17 Feb 2013 14:39

I just placed an order for mine today due to what I read above. Free express shipping? I went to the site to validate and sure enough - - free 1-2 day shipping! So with the free police helicopter I get and paying no sales tax it was worth it for me. Now I dont have to pay sales tax in March when I was originally planning on to get double points.

Posted by Multiverse in Denmark, 17 Feb 2013 14:47

I was put in a bit of a dilemma when given the choice about either ordering it early or waiting 1.5 month to get double VIP points. But the option of early ordering and free delivery at once makes it obvious. I'm hoping to get the time to write an early review for Eurobricks. =)

Posted by piratemania7 in United States, 17 Feb 2013 15:10

so i just did an experient. I went back to the website and tried putting into my cart the new train that is out, and it was going to charge me shipping! So obviously I deleted it but I have proven that lego is specifically offering free shipping, all methods, on the cinema ONLY.

Posted by Starik20X7 in Australia, 17 Feb 2013 16:08

I want it so badly, but I'm waiting until I get to America in a couple of months. It'll be so much cheaper to buy it over there.

Posted by Necofurtim in United States, 17 Feb 2013 16:19

In the US I had the Cinema and the new bucket of bricks in my cart and all items had free express shipping. I think as long as your purchasing the Cinema your whole order should qualify.

Posted by bodybomb3 in United Kingdom, 17 Feb 2013 16:22

It appears to be out of stock when I check. The link doesnt work and it isn't appearing on the lego store site. Can anyone clarify?

Posted by legobigbloke in United Kingdom, 17 Feb 2013 16:26

^ Shows for me. Are you logged in on the lego site? I had to log in again (seems my cookies went stale!)

Posted by bodybomb3 in United Kingdom, 17 Feb 2013 16:29

Thankfully I found if you are having the same problem, use the URL on this article then click on another item, look at "recently viewed" then add to basket. But thanks for the help

Posted by obiron17 in United Kingdom, 17 Feb 2013 17:02

Just tried to order mine and it seems only standard shipping is free in UK (Express Shipping is £21.00!!)

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 17 Feb 2013 17:06

If the link above takes you to the home page or elsewhere it's because you're not logged in or not a VIP.

Posted by Deinonychus in United States, 17 Feb 2013 17:33

I saw the build-up model in a LEGO store this weekend, and it's a fantastic looking set. I don't collect the modular buildings myself, but anyone who does is sure to love this one.

Posted by TheLegoExpert in United States, 17 Feb 2013 17:58

Just ordered mine yesterday and got free express shipping! Has this happened to anyone else? I have asked other people and express shipping wasn't free for them? Anyway I'm very impatient so I can't stop thinking about it!

Posted by Spindarren in United Kingdom, 17 Feb 2013 18:45

Got one from the Milton Keynes store yesterday, so far I have built the first floor and looks great, one thing I did notice on the box was that the set title and piece count are missing from the printing, 16+ and set number are there but nothing else which I thought was a bit odd, has anyone else noticed this or know why it's missing?

Posted by Legonizer in United States, 17 Feb 2013 19:03

I don't have the first seven modulars and a steady income for nothing, must buy now!

Posted by CianD in Ireland, 17 Feb 2013 19:23

Also unable to get the express shipping free here (Ireland) but our domestic post system usually means its two to three days at worst anyway, so I'm not sure what the point ever is. Already shipped so I expect it'll be here Tuesday.

Posted by gjhartog in Netherlands, 18 Feb 2013 01:36

I've also ordered one yesterday, with free shipping. I Always use standard shipping, that's so fast (usually delivered in 2-3 days) that ordering with express shipping is not really necessary. Can't wait to start building :)

Posted by jestia in United States, 18 Feb 2013 01:59

I just went to Lego store in Queens, NY and they already have this set.

Posted by jtr in Australia, 18 Feb 2013 05:10

ahh i'm jealous this set looks great. not out here in Aus yet and probally going to cost 250 plus 35 for shipping . . .. bah

Posted by TheLegoExpert in United States, 18 Feb 2013 07:57

So if the palace cinema has ales ready been put on the shelves in NY lego stores, to get it do you have to be a VIP still?

Posted by cosmo040 in United States, 18 Feb 2013 09:15

I too was able to get free Express shipping.

Posted by Spindarren in United Kingdom, 18 Feb 2013 10:56

Have made some custom stickers for mine so it now says Showing Tonight Star Wars, will try and post a photo.

Posted by jestia in United States, 18 Feb 2013 13:05

@TheLegoExpert, No I don't think so. Everybody can just grab one and pay for it at the counter.

Posted by chilis in Norway, 18 Feb 2013 14:21

Sorry for asking, but what is the price for this one in the Lego Store NYC?

Posted by axisvega in United States, 18 Feb 2013 15:38

right now I am kind of regretting jumping on Arkham Asylum.. but, I suppose that is how these things go.. hindsight and all that. :)

Posted by vulp in Netherlands, 18 Feb 2013 15:42

Here's a list of noticeable things after building it.
1- blemishes in the glass once more
2- lamp post is a different mold from previous modulars....older ones are better, this one has a more rectangular lower half
3-the tan tiles 1x2 with one stud on top, that go into building the first floor black outside rail, are 2 different types: with and without small ridge around the bottom. it's not in the instructions, but alternate them and it looks nicer
4-all decorations are stickers except for the stars on the pavement
5-the castle type brown windows on the second floor do not have glass, doesn't exist i think, but they look off without anythign in them.
6- recommend to order type 1 brown door frames to put the stickers in between the glass (needs 3 extra glass) , instead of sticking them on the glass. Unfortunately, i just bought the last off Bricklink :-)

Anyway, great set!!

Posted by Matt mason in United Kingdom, 18 Feb 2013 16:46

Got mine last Friday built by Saturday afternoon very pleased with it. Not too sure about the limo though looks unfinished and not really part of the set. My only complaint is the female minifigures is the same one which comes with pet shop. Surlely Lego could of thought of another one to include. I have nearly 600 in my collection and I guess they have more than me. When is the next modular out ? Anyone know ?

Posted by GirlWonder in United States, 18 Feb 2013 19:12

@TheLegoExpert and @Jestia: When I bought mine at the store they required my VIP card. The sign in the store said it was only available early to VIPs, although of course anyone can sign up to be a VIP on the spot. I was thinking that the early release was actually a plug to increase the number of VIP members.

Posted by jestia in United States, 19 Feb 2013 01:32

@GirlWonder: Oh maybe you're right. I didn't actually ask the sales rep, I just saw the set in the store.
@Chilis: I just got back from the store at Rockefeller Center, they're selling it for $163.99 and the store in Queens they're selling it for $149.99. I guess the rent is higher in Manhattan :)

Posted by orangemoo in United Kingdom, 19 Feb 2013 05:03

They didn't seem to have any Palace Cinema sets at the Bluewater when I was there last night. They might have been hidden in the stock room though - I didn't ask.

Posted by LuvKernow in United Kingdom, 19 Feb 2013 06:31

Received it yesterday, lovely building but the limo is just disastrous! Utterly feels like a total hindsight creation with very little imagination involved! They'd have been better off using that piece count for additional extras inside.

Posted by piratemania7 in United States, 19 Feb 2013 12:08

Received mine today! came with the police helicopter too. I am so excited, I dont know when I will have time to build it! I still have the town hall to build. Maybe I will start with the helicopter to take some of the bite out...

Posted by rherberg in Netherlands, 19 Feb 2013 17:57

I got free normal shipping, and it arrived the next day (with the helicopter).

btw normally shipping takes a day extra because it's shipped from Germany with the DPD, but this one arrived with TNTpost from the Netherlands, so I believe they now have a storage in the Netherlands, so express shipping is totally useless for residents in the Netherlands. Why pay €29,95 extra for the same service???
