That looks considerably bigger than I thought it would be. What's the overall footprint in studs?
I'm waiting for Christmas to hopefully add the Parisian Restaurant to my modular collection.

It's 25 inches long, like 15 or 20 wide

Holy cow, my inner Lego is jealous.

That's ridiculous! Nice assortment of tan though. It looks like it uses 6 32x32 blue baseplates?

I gotta save this - I know a few people who would die for a huge box of legos.

No it's two huge ones. You can see a 4X1 connecting the two pieces at the bottom.
It was broken into 4 steps: two halves of the base, the big "crown", then the smaller "crown" and some details.

It's been a while since I did a big set. The last set I even bought was the Delorean I think. I love spending a few days on one set though.

Let the jelly flow.
Last years set was the TGV. Previous years have included the Space Shuttle (the big collector set), the VW camper van, and the sopwith camel

It's become a bit of a tradition for my parents to get me a set for my birthday and Hanukkah. I don't complain, I never want anything from them anyways so a Lego set is nice. I rarely buy sets for myself, mostly because once you start building these huge 1000s of pieces sets the cheap ones aren't as much fun, and nowadays the cheap ones have so many big custom parts they've lost something.

Looking out the window at the real one right now. Not a bad model. Needs more stupid tourists around the back.

I built that one a couple months ago. I did it over 4 nights but it took me about 10 hours I think as well.
My next uber-set is the BIG Millenium Falcon. A friend of mine has it but doesn't have anywhere to put it, so it will become mine (HOLYCRAPAWESOME)

Awesome. I want to build the super star destroyer. I don't even know if it's still available

I collect moatly town so I still like the smaller sets, but my crown jewels are my modulars. Lego for birthdays and holidays is a tradition for mw too, with either my parents or girlfriend getting me some. My girlfriend even likes to build the modulars with me. I'd love one of the big creator sets like that but I have nowhere to display them.

I keep my sopwith and space shuttle at work. The camper van is fragile, it fell apart twice in one week so it's staying in pieces for now. No idea where this will end up.

They'd need to be small. It's a bloody big building. If you are going to get mini figs, may I suggest the Spencer Tunick nude collection:
Also, you need to include the Opera bar just to the right of the photo. Great place to get shitfaced if you are here on a holiday.
