For all of you (including myself) that have been hoarding multiple Fire Brigade's for the past 3 or 4 years, waiting for this 4th modualr to retire, but have come to terms with reality that it might be 2020 before it goes EOL, there is hope. You can open up a few of your 10197's that are just collecting dust on the shelf and build this, check it out! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=406569

Most of the Modulars look sweet when used in multiples. The Cafe Corner had a huge model in the back of the instruction manual. It used SIX Cafe Corners to build a huge building. Very neat.

I have seen that before, very very cool! I know what I'm doing when I have 6 grand to spend on CC's.........building a Cafe Corner x6 ;)

That is really sweet, I may actually pick one or more up.

I created a 2-bay fire brigade based on what I saw other LEGO builders have created.....I want to change the new cinema from a corner set...and add to the street row...

Wow that is a nice 2 bay!! Love it, good work! All of these custom Fire Brigade photos are really making me want to open some of the extras I have and start MOCing one of my own.

If we can get people opening up some FB sets in pairs once they are EOL, this modular might just make a decent profit.

right????

That is 100% correct....the more that are opened, the less MISB there will be available. IMO, I also think as the price should rise for both MISB and used, the higher the price the smaller of the target pool that can afford to purchase. Its all disposable income.

Holy crap, i can't imagine how long that took! EDIT: Haha i saw the 3000 hours thing after reading the article. I just need to read first i guess.
