New road type plates

I like them much more than road baseplates! Very customisable and seem like they fit better with modulars (not that I'm a modular fan) and other buildings that already have a pavement on the baseplate.

If we can't get road baseplates on LUGbulk, are you thinking of going for this style instead John? Large quantities of 16x16 plates and whatever large dark bluish gray tiles we can get would do nicely, plus a few white 1x4 tiles.

I'd still go old road as they've got bends but if these are in the bulk im sold , and as You said on video plates give strength , but these roads play to plates rather than floppy plates. Blue and green and white are more what I want for water,grass and snow. Only concern is ,is the white line a sticker -it's on a 2x4 ,if a print 2x4 that'd be more preferred. They'll be 20euro at least I'm guessing so costly but already developed with extras.

Wow - these look like a lot of fun! Really customizable and definitely make it easier to have a nice modular buildings town! Of course we should probably be content with studs as the road surface - more authentically Lego-ish, but the smooth surface looks slick and like Lego on the screen. Presume this is more like medium-size Lego City set price than building plates.

Changing my mind about these, having seen a couple of videos about them... they seem to be made of weird special plates, not too different from this, so they're not necessarily as customisable as they first seemed:


I'd much prefer a plain 16x16 plate covered in tiles!

The road ones have indents -2x4 tile size, and at 2 plates high ready made for customisation ,I think that green might be a 4+ plate
