The set is also up on shop at home: http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=10182 . LEGO Brand Stores will also have a limited number which should be available today.

I think that I will be ordering this set. It has a great design and excellent bricks. Now we just need large exclusives in other popular themes.

That is a blanket statement which has nothing to do with this thread at all. This set is available in Europe and the US. Plus, the set was designed by an American Product Designer at LEGO who used to be an AFOL. Read about it in the BrickJournal: http://news.lugnet.com/publish/brickjournal/?n=156

I am sorry to hear that it isn't available to you. They should have copies at the Brand Store during fest because most exclusives are sold then. However look for them to sell quickly, especially with a discount.

Speaking of Brickjournal, I'm very intrigued by the possibility of adding extra floors to the Cafe, as implied in the article about the set's initial development.

This is so.... Beautiful. I'm going to have ask for this for my birthday... although it's rather expensive. Maybe I'll buy it myself.

I ordered it this morning. I believe it may be the best set ever.

No sir I don't like it.

I don't like the fact that I don't already posess several (hundred) copies of this set that is.

It's SO amazing. I'm gonna get emotional. I'd better stop.

My apologies.

Wow! As unbelievable that it is that LEGO even produced this set, it's even more unbelievable that its going for $139.99! I figured this would be good for $200+. Especially for 2056 pieces...

Looks more fun than the LEGO Sandcrawler at that price. I'm thinking that I can seriously use this set to expand on my Hogsmeade Village. :idea:

I gots to order me one of them at least!!

Those kinds of sentences just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

I know it´s quite bad form but I can´t really say much more than "Wow" about this set... I might have to borrow some money.......... :roll:
