Hello, :wave:

I assembled the Grande Mansion last night. I wasn't going to put it together for a couple of days but when I was carrying the box upstairs, it seemed a bit light to me, far lighter than the 5300 and 5301, so I thought I'd better check it to see if anything was missing.

The plan was to assemble just one floor, but I ended up staying up until the wee small hours and finished the whole thing. I don't know if it's been reported here before, but the new mansion house is System X and doesn't seem as sturdy as the 5301 and certainly not as well made as the 5300. I am a little disappointed with it, but once I have the room sets in place I may change my mind. I'll do a full review as soon as I can, but it may not be for a couple of weeks, though I'll try and post some pics sooner than that.

I think I'll be getting another 5301 before the shops sell out as I do prefer the looks of it to the 5302. Shame about the colour though.  :sadklicky:

I don't remember any review of that house so please do it when you can. I can't wait to see it.
Im not sure I like it though, the shape is weird so I can't picture a diorama with this one in it. Someone please prove me wrong!  :lol:
I do like the 5301, color and all  :)

I love your excuse for staying up all night putting it together. One of the best I've heard in years! :P I can't wait to see some pics of it. ;D

Just ordered my 5302 from US DM! Was not on the website earlier today, so probably just arrived.  :love: :love: :love:

Very excited about the furniture, lighting and extra floor. And love the low price compared to other toys.

No way am I gonna wait 2 months to open this for my birthday!

Will have to see the colors when it arrives. Luckily hubby knows how to spray paint models because we have done a lot of PM lately.

PM DE: PLEASE GET RID OF THE (*&^^*()(^%^*()_O()_)(*^$#$%^&* RED ROOFS or at least give us a choice of colors. In most of our town, red roofs are not allowed! Tan, light gray, gray green, dark gray, blue gray, etc. make much better looking roofs.

Cheerio, Pgal :wave:

Yup, there goes our vow not to buy, but I did remember to say that 5302 was exempt being a birthday present and all! :wave:

I did have a hint that it was arriving early. Placing an order with US DM last week, I moaned that 5302 was a long time in coming. And the PM clerk said that it might be in stock yesterday. So I checked each day, and sure enough it was there an hour ago!

I hope that PM somehow limits buyers to one 5302 per address and credit card, or dealers/stores will buy all of them up today and raise the price back up to $300. That makes me ill. Folks who just want to play with them should get the chance now at the PM price.

TTFN, Pgal :wave:

Dealers and stores are stupid to buy it that way rather than setting up a retail account, which means they get it wholesale. So I doubt that will be too much of a problem. There's always a limit on how many items you can get in an order. Some collectors may want more than one, so we wouldn't want them to restrict it too much!
