Creator

Hey guys, So recently I found a small stash of fire brigades nestled away in a nearby store. I've seen a lot of discussion about the possibility of this set taking a long time to rise in price. The price for this set down under is $300 so I'm on the fence on if to buy as I have limited money to place in long term investing. Guess the question is, should I buy a couple to invest or would I be better placing my money elsewhere? (i.e. a few sopwith camels at $120 AUD). Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

I have been in this game since January 2013, so I missed the early modular houses. It's now my goal to get them all on display. Some more are coming but here's the current status of my project with some noticeable gaps: I will update this thread as I fill them in!

Anybody else have this problem? I got to step 7 building the top floor for Grand Emporium and from there on I was missing 3-5 pieces from every step... Don't know what LEGO Shop at Home will do but this is definitely interesting.. I've had sets miss 1 or 2 parts before but never this scale...

Hi fellow investors and brickers Im an Australian and I like the look of modulars but i see a lot of you investing in this particular set. The problem is this set costs $240 for Australians which is quite a bit on top of the exchange rate difference. I was wondering if this set is still good to invest in for us overseas folk. I cannot ever imagine ever getting a profit out of this set by selling it overseas (shipping it back to USA will cost $50 adding the total to $300). This means i will have to rely on Aussie brickers if i do plan to resell it in future. Would like to know your opinions on this matter thanks

Does anyone have a Grand Carousel that could give me the exact measurements of the cloth piece? I've looked all over but can't find the exact dimensions. I'm making a carousel but I'm not going to spend $400 on the 8 cloth pieces. Thanks!

I have bought a couple of the Creator sets that say you csn go to lego .com to get instructions to build a 4th model, I cant figure out how to get them, I have 7291 and 7292, any help would be great, thank you

I am having trouble deciding which modular to buy for investment purposes...I'm thinking Fire Brigade but its been out a while which worries me...any thoughts?

I had so much fun interviewing Jamie Berard about Creator Expert and the Modular Building Series earlier this year. It's rare to get an opportunity to get inside the minds of the creative genius designers at LEGO, so I thought you might enjoy some selected highlights from the interview. The interview was split into the following two parts: Highlights from: ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴠɪᴇᴡ: Modular Building Series with Jamie Berard In this interview, we discussed how Downtown Diner, and Parisian Restauraunt represented two major turning points in the series... Jamie Berard: "Some people would say there are two stages of the modular, with #10243 Parisian Restaurant starting the sec…

I remember a user from Mexico saying something like that, can anyone confirm this? Thank you.

I have a question.......what exactly is the creator series and what sets does it consist of? Are the trains and modulars part of this series?? Rookie question i know.

It seems like there's a large variance in dark blue and dark red, I have even noticed it in the light blue of the Pet Shop. Why is this?

where can i get a good deal on a creator family home beside ebay?:[

the 2004 set to the newer versions? There is no "Sculptures" section so I will ask here. I have the original release from 2004 but it is almost 1/2 the price "used/open" as the newer versions from 2005 up. Why the price gap? Typically older is the more desired version and thus the higher priced. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank all!

I'm going shopping this weekend and it looks like both Fire House and Emporium are EOL. Can only spend my money once. Which do you advise?

I can't imagine I bought modular sets continuously this two months. In my collection were Palace Cinema, Fire Brigade, Pet Shop, Grand Emporium & Town Hall. However, I'm unable to complete purchase on Green Grocer & Cafe Corner because the price is too high. Looking forward to purchase Parisian Restaurant & Haunted House(though not in modular category). I read lots of negative comment on certain modular series but I don't care, as long it's look nice when on display. All my sets still MISB, still in the process refurbish my room and installing new shelves then I will started the building process. Hmmm must be interesting, can't wait!

Word on the street is 2017 we might see an Expert Creator Hospital. It might have 4 floors or it may not...

Was buying one of these off craigslist, got ripped off, I don't think the guy ever had it. Now it's in the "Resolution Center." The picture was very convincing. Hopefully they will rule in my favor, I have all the emails. One of the members here had four of them but he's not responding to PM's. Does anyone have a complete set to sell? I guess without box/instructions since I already spent too much the first time? I can't believe I missed this one by a year or so, having only started this hobby recently.

anyone know when the next modular will come out? Assembly Square was already leaked by this point. Are we getting one for Christmas? Are they skipping year? (there's nothing in the Christmas catalogue...)

Of the newer Modular themed sets (including the Haunted House), which set do you think will be the best investment for the furture? Town Hall, Pet Shop, or the Haunted House? Do you all think these modulars and the Haunted House will still do well after EOL later down the road, or have too many people already jumped on the band wagon and hoarded up on these newer sets after seeing what Cafe Corner, Market Street, and Green Grocer have done. My question to you is, which of the 3 listed sets do you think will do the best in the afermarket? Or will these sets even be worth investing in due to the fact that by the time they're EOL there will already be too many people h…

Hello! I hope this is the correct spot.. I couldn't find an answer via google I received a Grand Emporium (#10211) from Amazon that was suppose to be new. However, upon inspection, one end of the box had the seals cut and then new ones placed over it. The old seals (on the side of the box that hadn't been cut) read 45R2. The side with the new seals read 48R2. Should I be concerned about this? I read about an issue with the chandelier in older sets, but this was purchased brand new just this past Wednesday. Do you think my box was just opened to insert missing pieces by LEGO? Or should I return it ASAP and not take a chance? Any input on this is greatly appreciat…

Was reading an article on brick brother's website this morning, apparently Lego are retiring the Creator Expert line in favour (I think, at least this is how I understood it) a more adult friendly line. Is it possible we may see the early retirement of multiple sets, or perhaps they'll just continue to the end of their life span in the usual manner? Either way, I'll be sad to see the end of this as it's one that I built the most and a line that I made some good gains on too

Will two corner buildings (PC and GE) fit together? Pardon my ignorance, I am trying to expand my expertise beyond just the Star Wars line. Thanks for any replies.

Should I assemble my Green Grocer? What a dilemma. I bought it long ago, along with other smaller LEGO sets that we put together first. By the time we got around to it, it seemed to be too valuable to open. Now its worth $700 NIB. If we assemble it its still worth $450-$500, but that's like paying $200 for the privilege of building it. I bought it to build it. I have Fire Brigade, Town Hall, Grand Emporium, Pet Shop... Its so nice, love the color, it'd be a shame not to build it. But my husband strongly feels we should hold on to it as an investment now ("to fund all our other LEGOS"). Its my decision, I originally bought it for myself. (I bought it secretly actu…

Hello folks, I have been on holiday for he last ten days so I have lost track of what's been going on. I see the Mini VW buying is in full swing. So what are people buying? I remember posting a list with my ideas, but I cannot remember what they were or where I posted it! Doh!! Are the Winter sets for sale as yet? They had RRPs of
