glad to see so many new pieces
" There are many amazing new components in this series, such as walking staff, queen's skirt piece, animal control's net, robot's sword. Pig, beaver and baby are absolutely icing on the cake in this series.
But overall, in my opinion, this series is not on the same level of series 14. Series 14 is by far the best series I have seen, as you can see that sold out very quickly.
And I would like to see a series in a theme like series 14 did. Anyway, this series is still very good, better than series 12 and 13 in recent period. Please bring more imaginations in next series, Lego. "

" I really love the idea of these small Creator modular. Easy for a quick street layout, fun to play. 3 in 1 to create different scenes. And the most important part, it is designed as an integrity building, however, if you need, you can open it to make two halves. I really hope Lego can bring us more of similar sets. Besides create huge layout with modular buildings, I would also like to create small town layout with sets like this. I bought three Bike shop & Cafe and Toy & Grocery Shop last year. I am sure I will pick other two Corner Deli in the future.
I think people may complain a lot when comparing it with big modular set. But given the price of these sets, I think these complains do not make any sense.
By the way, I think the price range for these small modular should be no more than 60 dollars, as we can learn from the last year's Bike shop &Cafe. "

" The brick bank release today. I always order large set online, but modular is always special. I can't wait for shipping time, so I drove to my local Lego store in the morning to make sure I can grab one asap. I finished the building with help from my friends in 3 hours. Some reviews did say it is a shrinking modular regarding the size. Well, I have to admit since Parisian Restaurant, the modular buildings are becoming smaller, but is it really important? Considering the gorgeous interior and decorations, I would prefer the modular line develop in this way. I do not want to talk too much about the building or amazing details. I think you should find the grace during your building rather than reading reviews or viewing pictures. Anyway, I personally think it is the second best modular set. The best one is always Parisian Restaurant.
About the cons, the only thing I want to say is the price. I do not understand why we have a increasing price here in US, while European countries have this set sold at the same price of Palace Cinema.
There is also a suggestion. Since modular is very popular all over the world, is there any possibility to release some extra set for the modular set in each year? Like a extending set which can expand the building in a different design and bring more furniture or other decorations. I have to admit it is a little boring to buy multiple sets to build extra floor with same design. I know it is fun to design it yourself, but not everyone has the time for designing.
One more suggestion, I think it is better to keep reviews close till the releasing date.

Can't wait to get my hand on these minifigures
" Personally, this is by far, the best minifigures series I can tell. I have a thing for monster themes, I did my best to collect all the sets in "monster fighters" theme.
I am not a minifigure collector. And most of the minifigures released in collectible minifugures line just look normal as what we can buy in "build your minifigures". I just bought the ones I like in my past.
When I first read the news of the series 14 minifigures, I realized this is it, the love on first sight, I must collect them all. So when it is available, I rushed into my local Lego store to buy a full set with no doubts. With all of them in my hand now, once again, they are amazing, indeed.
The zombie cheerleader, plant monster, Banshee, Fly Monster and Wacky Witch are my favorite,
My only complaint is the Mad Scientist. I think this one look so close as a Simpson series character. And even the one in Monster Fighters theme several years ago did a better job.
Anyway, I am happy Lego released these minifigures, and I hope more in the future.
And the concept of the minifigures series in a theme (this time is monster) is also a great idea. This will encourage people to collect all the minifigures in a series and bring more fun to fans. "

Buy this set only if you need these minifigures
" I would not recommend this set even to the die hard show fans. The building for the room is simple and boring. And it does not look like the living room of Leonard and Sheldon at all if you remove all the minifigures away. All you can expect from the set is minifigures. But at this price? Sorry. I would rather save this $60 for the series 14 minifigures released in September.
BTW, I do not understand how does the Ideas program work. There are many very amazing sets reached 10000 supporters, but they never get approved. Most Ideas sets we have here are far beyond outstanding. The only Ideas set I would recommend is Research Institute. "

One of the best creator line in my mind
" I understand people have their own minds, but in my mind, it is one of the best set in creator line. The other one is the bike shop & cafe. Because I love the idea you can expand it as two different buildings and can also join them together into a whole building. Most of the buildings from City line only have the front side, if you want to build a lego city or town, you always need to DIY to make them like a real building. But you do not need to worry about this with this set. I hope Lego can release more similar sets in the future, they are really good for a city layout. Yes, the accessories may be not that good, people may complain about the scooter or vehicle from the bike shop & cafe. But I still think the main point of the set is building. If you need better vehicles, you can look for the City line, there are many great vehicles there.

Decent set
" Too many stickers need to apply. This is the only thing I want to complain. But it actually looks very great with all stickers. The first part of the trailer is a maintenance station, the second part is a garage. With all the accessories, it is quite fun to play with the set, especially if you have other sets in this Speed Champion series. Even if you are not a fan of racing, I am sure after you putting this together, you will find every cent you spend worth the value. The big size of the truck and the stunning details absolutely make this set a high level qualify product. It only take me 1 minute to decide to buy it when I first see this set on shelves. I highly recommend this series to all fans. And wish Lego can bring more sets in.
