    The cafe corner brought me out of my Lego dark age… I walked pass my local Lego store, saw it on the window and instantly fell in love. I was 24 and needed some convincing to spend that kind of money on a “toy” but it was just so beautiful that I caved in and bought it. So glad I did… With the exception of market street, I have every modular and it’s become a yearly tradition to head to the Lego store every January 1st for the new modular.

    I actually stumbled into the joy of the modular series this year. I went to my nearest Lego Store with the intent to by the BMW technic which I did. But when I saw the Bootique Hotel I knew I would have to go back for it at some point.
    After buying it and building it I saw an image showing how well it intergrated with the Bookshop and Police Station. So I had to get them also. Nearly a week ago I finished building the Sanctum Sanctorum. While it isn't part of the range, it gave me the same warm feelings that I felt when building the others. So thankyou for your efforts. It's much appreciated.

    This is one of the only Lego series I like. Star wars and Harry Potter I always feel like are incomplete because their missing entire walls which I know it’s supposed to be for play features but for me it’s unsatisfying. Plus their expensive… so when I got my first ever modular which was the assembly square I fell in love with it so hard because it felt complete and worth the money. Now I’m here with 6 Modular’s and an overstressed mother who’s worried on what I’ll do with it when I move to college XD

    I never looked away from Lego, but I had some kind of dark ages. The cafe corner was the perfect excuse to come out of them forever. I have currently 8 cafe corners standing tall, but also double floored the Green grocer and the grand emporium. I still love them and the feel every year new to me, with great new building technology. In this video I only missed the story about the 1891/1981 from the town hall.

      Bigger sets is bigger money, and I think the amount of design time going into a small build may be similar or even more than a big set - you need to be very creative (i.e. try a lot of stuff) to pull off a convincing mini/micro build.
      Look at Lego City cars; most are 6 studs wide because it is just so much easier to design them - even in the MOC community! There are a few designers (de_marco!) who can do 4 or 5 stud cars convincingly though.

    So if the Factory (which Jaime says was early version of Ideas) then that means that Old Fishing Store is then a modular? Also in the new Bricklink series this means that officially the lego modular store is also a modular officially, and the Modular Construction Site... Thanks Jaime!

      I consider GBHQ, Daily Bugle, and Bricklink lego store and construction site as part of the modular line, because they have the side walk and can be integrated. The venitian houses and bowling alley are up for debate to me. The ninjago city I consider seperate even though they technically can clip together with the modulars, I love the ninjago city sets hope to have additional ones than the 3 we already got, some of the most creative building techniques.

    @custarddragon9349 5 місяців тому

    i only have one issue with the modulars. some of the older ones, like Green Grocer, contain pieces LEGO hasn't produced for many years, which makes it difficult to get an expensive set like Green Grocer cheaper because parting it out doesn't work too well. to me the sand green 1x2 bricks with the groove make it look fantastic. I hope LEGO puts the 1x2 brick with groove and 1x8 brick in sand green back into production. they could be cool for some future modulars and also helpful to make parting out Green Grocer much cheaper

    Few years ago i got the downtown diner as a Christmas gift. I had trouble displaying it because it had such a bigger scale than the other buildings and city sets i had at the time…following year what i got was assembly square, corner garage, the bookshop, and the police station. And some socks. This year i now 16 got the jazzclub and natural history museum from my grandparents and aftermarket light kits for all the buildings from my family. Needless to say we overspent every year but its worth it, i even got rid of a lamp in my room because the modulars light it all up lol. Its definitely the centerpiece of my room and my favorite thing about it

    My first modular was the detectives office which I got in 2018 it immediately got me hooked on modulars and I had to get the perisan restaurant since in 2014 I had entered a lego club contest to actually win one did not win the contest so it was always on my wanted list since 2014 I finally got it in 2019 when I went to my closest mall which also happens to have my local lego store for a school trip my senior year of high school. Then in 2020 as a way to celebrate getting my first real job I saved up my money and got a palace cinema for my lego city off ebay which allowed me to have my 3 favorite modulars of all time in my lego city. Pet shop would had been a nice one but when it was out I was just starting to get into lego and was only 10 when it came out also hadn't even heard of the modulars at that point so unfortunately I missed out on it but I have since made a moc pet store for my lego city that follows the modulars only lacks the details also my pet store is a corner since I only have 3 ofical corner modulars. Palace cinema, corner garage and boutique hotel.

    Wonderful wonderful; I must extract digit & assemble my Beatles White Album Ringo "portrait" .. yeah sad huh, an oldie with a Peter Pan complex🤣😂🤣. But here's an idea; a universe ago, I was an architect. Wouldn't it b cool 2 create a serious architectural set .. say 1:20 scale 2 model some bldg dtls .. a cross-section study of a cavity brick wall .. or a cross-sectional study thru a astronomic observatory, with moving parts of-course. It'd b "adults only" .. a thought? Thankyou 4 ur enthusiasm & a little joy 4 the day👌

    The new jazz club is probably the worst one since they started adding interiors

      It'from the green grocer that they have interiors so it's not a new thing.
