I picked up a Grand Emporium from the Lego Store in Bellevue and the Green Grocer from Craigslist a few weeks ago (I think Brick Baron was the seller). I have yet to build them.
Now I want the Cafe Corner!

interesting the end cost difference was $20 in cost... i could consider it as cost for the time it takes the guy to gather all the pieces needed.. it isnt that bad if I consider it paying $20 to NOT spend 5 hours just to hunt down pieces I have, what I dont have.. making a list and then comparing prices online, making 2-3 separate orders.. *then* the joy of waiting for 2-3 separate packages to all arrive..etc..chump wrote:I recently built this Lego Mini Chess set model from Flickr pages

I brought it to the last meeting, but you must have missed it. Tan and dark red. I may glue the 1x1 plates down, as they tend to come up with the pieces. Being a purist vs playability and functionality.RadStar wrote:interesting the end cost difference was $20 in cost... i could consider it as cost for the time it takes the guy to gather all the pieces needed.. it isnt that bad if I consider it paying $20 to NOT spend 5 hours just to hunt down pieces I have, what I dont have.. making a list and then comparing prices online, making 2-3 separate orders.. *then* the joy of waiting for 2-3 separate packages to all arrive..etc..chump wrote:I recently built this Lego Mini Chess set model from Flickr pages

BUT HEY! That chess set is awesome. I really am loving it. What color scheme did you build the board in?

travisco nabisco, I don't know how committed you are to I am but I too missed out on Cafe Corner. However, I bought all the pieces individually off BrickLink and it really only cost me between $150-200 which is not that bad. I am just about finished, just waiting on pieces for the 3rd floor. Those pieces were the only real issue with the set. You need a bunch, i think almost 40, of the dark red slopes. However, they are discontinuted so Pick a Brick on Lego.com doesn't have them and the only place that I found enough on BrickLink was an international seller and I am still waiting on them. Other than that, it was well worth it.
I also did the same thing for Market Street and now have all 5 modular houses together!
