...and it begins.
I'm still annoyed that they have tiles for the sidewalk. It does look way cooler with tiles, but not as practical.

Ironically, I found out about this the morning right after out meeting where I said I knew nothing - I wasn't lying!
You can't see a lot of detail in these pictures, but as you can make out on the box, the top bits can be rotated to present different facades.
Oh, and SNOT would have been far more practical for sidewalks...

How can you moan about about Bley and then approve of SNOT sidewalks. Anything other than studded is a betrayal of everything LEGO has ever stood for.
OK, maybe not, but I still prefer studded!

SNOT, Bley,Tiles- I don't mind- They are going in a really good direction for sets lately. I will need willpower in the extreme not to go bankrupt over the next year...
