This looks like a "must have" for me. A great design and lots of good pieces for a reasonable cost (cdn$200 for 2000+ is OK).

I especially like the tan Indy bag, Double washtubs used as a water barrel and the red garage door.

Something to add to my "BrickCon list".

Wow. I really can't wait for that set to be available in Victoria. I'm not a fan of S@H so I'll just wait for it to be released in a store here.

Tons of great/rare pieces here!

Hi Matt,
As of right now this won't be available in "real" stores other than LEGO Brand Stores, the nearest of which is in Bellevue, Washington which is very near Seattle. This is the same as with the Cafe Corner and Green Grocer.

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought, as I haven't seen any of the Modular Buildings in stores. Thanks John,

By the way, do you represent a LUG as Ambassador? Or some other Lego organization?

Hi Matt -
It used to be that LEGO Ambassadors applied to LEGO with an application, kind of like applying to a job. They were interested in people involved with various clubs and groups, but they were not picked based on this and there was no requirement.

For this past cycle (cycle 6) and the current/upcoming cycle (cycle 7) the nomination process required LA's to represent clubs (or other community groups) so I officially represent VicLUG. Less officially, I represent the castle niche of the community, since I'm primarily a castle builder.

I think this is pretty unimportant though; the important thing is to represent AFOL's as a whole. I think in the end what group you represent is largely irrelevant.
