So uh, who'd get me some plane tickets to Ann Arbor? I'd love to see yours in person, aswell as Decojims and everything else you got up there. North America (mich,ill, etc) seems to have a awesome lego scene.

Yesterday I built green grocer. Call me back and ask me what I think when the tips of my fingers grow back. No I just have to decorate the inside of Cafe corner and buy/fix up market street.

No, I do not know why it is not currently available in the US. It was sold in the US about a year or two ago. A friend of mind has one. Don't let the unavailability stop you; you can buy one off Bricklink (search set 4954); if that is too expensive, just buy some parts and make your own design.

Yeah, the cheapest one on bricklink is 90$, so Ill probably just hunt down my own parts. I'm still Curious why they don't sell it. They had one at a local target 2 months ago. Maybe they just don't ship it? Or maybe I'm just getting my hopes up.

Is bricklink better than Lego for parts?

the white house one probly took a couple months to do a moc up then a day or 2 to set it up outside

Austin55 · #12 Posted **Mar 19, 2009, 12:59 AM**

I think the white house may actually an older design from along time ago, they just added people/scenery. I saw the white house in a book like 5 years ago.

Just to be sure, I emailed Lego about the town house, it has been discontinued.No surprises, really.

Jeez dude, are bricks in the north made of heroin or something?

That's like, 700$ dollars in sets!

A free LEGO show called Brickbash was held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on March 21. While there were LEGO creations of all types there, two displays had skylines.

1. A modest Michigan Lego Train Club layout:

The white building is a model of Detroit's Dime Building by another club member named Chris. Most of the buildings on the right side of the layout are mine.

2. Spencer (JSR)s line up of all of his completed micro-scale skyscrapers:

I took both photos: all of my Brickbash images on flickr
