Discover a world of mystery and adventure with the LEGO® Creator Expert Detective’s Office! Step through the open archway and into the barbershop, where seated customers are pampered in the reflection of a large wall mirror, while next door, competitors play pool and darts beneath the comforting whir of a rotating ceiling fan. Venture to the first floor and you’ll find the detective’s office, his desk strewn with clues, a safe containing valuable evidence and a concealed wall compartment. Then visit the adjacent bathroom, featuring a classic pull-chain toilet, before taking the stairway to the well-equipped kitchen, from where you can access the roof terrace, complete with large water tower. This latest addition to the LEGO Modular Building series is packed with unsurpassed detail and hidden surprises. Easy-to-remove roof and ceilings provide access to the delightful interior, while the exterior of the building features a decorative roofline and a beautifully designed façade.

Looking forward to getting this...of course, after working through the queue of the Palace Cinema and Parisian Restaurant...

New scissors look good.

Illegal cookies.

The set looks quite playable and nice parts usage.

[vynsane]

Still looks awesome. Love the printed dart board.

This looks better than I expected. I like the two buildings, especially the balconies. I was expecting it would be a single block like the fire brigade so this is a pleasant surprise.

take my money! I actually don't like it quite as much as some of the last ones, but it's still great and I'll be nabbing it. I blame the Pet Shop for getting me hooked on modulars! Now they just need to approve the Natural History Museum from Ideas....

The Scissors are awesome...looks like a new hairpiece on the person sitting in the barber's chair. All those metallic uniKitty tails.

Very tempting! So far, I haven't gotten any of the modular bldgs except the Haunted House (if that counts) due to the lack of display space. I really like the minimondulars & I hope that LEGO makes a second minimodular set soon.

after getting half way done with the set, I've learned one thing...I am NOT a master builder....had to retrace my steps several times to find where I went wrong...some very interesting building techniques..BTW....I must have huge hands, because I'm also having a hard time placing minifigures in the already completed parts of the set
