LEGO Creator Expert Palace Cinema (10232) Preview

January 19, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you follow The Brick Show, you know that they’re at BrickFair Alabama this weekend. Stephen and Jason caught up with Kevin Hinkle to get his thoughts on the LEGO Creator Expert Palace Cinema (10232). According to Kevin, the Cinema took about six hours to build and has some new pieces including a red baseplate in the newest Modular building. Also as I suspected, the movie posters and the screen will be stickers, which is the first time that stickers will be introduced in a Modular building. There are numbered bags to three, one for each level of the building, and three instruction booklets in the box. Again as we noted before, there are 2196 pieces and retails for $149.99.

We can see there are a whopping 2196 pieces in the set. As you can see, the set is a new corner building that will fit in nicely with your other modular buildings. It will have six minifigures along with a topless convertible. There are two stories in the cinema, the bottom being the concession stand and the upper level being the theater.

First on the outside, there are two ticketing booths as well as stars on the ground to represent the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Above the entrance is a nice looking marquee showing the movie “Three Clicks & A Snap”, showing at 2:00, 5:30, and 8:00. Sitting on the marquee is a brick-built Palace Cinema sign.
