LEGO City Update - Lego Store & TV Shop MOC 60097 📺🏹
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лют 2025
- In this video I add two more shops based on the LEGO Store from set 60097. The first I make only a few changes to including adding lovely LEGO employees handing out free gifts. The second is converted into a TV and computer game shop, complete with loads of stock, series minifigures and a brand new game release!

A great little build that looks perfect in its location. The choice of mini figures outside is spot on too. Also, the details in the river trent with your albino croc /gator is very amusing. Great imagination on show.👍
Thank you very much. It's appreciated!
Your 3D signs are always so thoughtful and effective, love it!
Thanks, Bri. I love a good 3D sign and you can use literally anything!
Love the TV store. Very creative.
Thanks very much indeed!
That double decked look of the tube and shops really works
Yes, I think so too. Great to look at from a distance too!
Merry Christmas! Love the new video. Can't wait for the next one. Instead of building a fifth store (next to the TV store), maybe you could consider building a tram stop? (Or, at least, a "fake" tram stop so the tram doesn't reverse direction, but continues onwards to the other side of the city.) This way, the tram stop can serve as an interchange to the subways station. Further, if it fits, you could consider making the tram stop to be a few centimeters above ground level (similar to the first tram stop on the other side of Brick Bay). This way, the tram track doesn't dip downwards after the Donut shop for no apparent reason. Rather, it is actually dipping downwards to reach the ground level tram station next to (or behind) the Lego and TV stores. After passing the tram station, the tram track can then go back up to the higher level in order to cross the road.
The interchange is a good idea but one I'm going to be pursuing as part of my main rail station. It'll have a subway station and a tram stop making it the place to transfer. It isn't too far along from where we are now.
The monorail dips both for interest and because slopes cost considerably less than straights!
Double the fun, brilliant 😺🐈👍
Much appreciated!
That TV shop just gets more and more interesting as the video goes on. Love it.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Gym too.
Yes, the game release made it good fun outside too.
You'll like the gym I think, but something else first!
Your city is amazing because of your personality,love all your builds
Thanks so much!
Wow lovely video again Robin! I would choose no barrier, just imagine it like there’s a square or something in front of the stores. Really like the details on both shops. Always good to have a Lego Store in your city, can’t have a city without one 😉👍🏼
You are so right. Pity real life Nottingham doesn't have one!
Both shops look great, don't put up barriers.
Maybe add some more figs to the street - on the bridge and outside the pet and donut shops
Thank you. Yes, I need more pedestrians walking around like in my Old Market Square. I'm on it!
You are such a talented builder!
You are very kind. Thanks!
Nice additions! The animal store is definitly the star in this row.
This shot with ships, shops, river, metro station and the passing by metro train is simply amazing. It looks very lifely.
Also you were recently mentioning to add an underwater scene under the river: that would be a really nice addition to make it even more spicy! (Some more escaped animals under water?)
It's a good point. Sometimes I forget our postpone smaller, non straight forward, projects in favour of more trains etc but it could be really cool. Definitely with more escapees!
HiHo Robin
Very good set up with those two additional shops. The TV shop is my favourite of the two. I particularly like the 3D sign out front. I also like the wall of TV screens.
I think regular viewers will understand the whole barrier thing. It certainly would be quite odd putting one in place as it doesn’t serve a purpose!
Fabulous update. Merry Christmas 🎅🏼
Thanks, Robin. Sage words as always. Have a great Yule!
Great video and wow what a tv store I love just how much detail you have added to both the LEGO store and tv store in such a small space. I too love the detail out side it gives the store a lot more life and character. Gave video a huge like and keep up the great work.
Taking a store and customising it might be my favourite task to be honest!
Robin Hood Bricks thanks I really appreciate the reply, that’s cool to hear that your favourite task to do is taking a store and customising it.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Robin!
Thanks, PoopRooster, you too!
Great! I specialy like the tv store, fantastic Idea the new game release!
I'm curious for the fifth shop!
Yeah, the game release was inspired by that awesome tile. I'm not sure I'd have been able to use the cyborg without it.
Having computer nerds queuing seemed obvious after that!
@@RobinHoodBricks indeed!
Look fantastic Robin loved the tv store especially the wall of tv..great 3d sign as well great additions to the rows of shops...hope you have a very merry Christmas Robin..🎅❤👍❤
You too. Have a great Yule. Thanks for your consistent support!
I like how you moded the TV store. I especially like how you made the shelf behind the checkout counter with all the printed tiles of remotes and game controls. A suggestion I'd like to give is put a brick under the green space man so he can be seen a bit better in the window. I would like to get one of those figures. How many of those Lego like stores do you have in your collection sir?
Raising the middle figure is a simple but great improvement. I think I'll do that.
As for spares, I have none. I either bought them without minifigures or sold them on at the time. I'm cost conscious and sell everything I don't need... sometimes too much so!
Nice addition and I vote to keep the consoles as part of the signage. I was sure we were going to.see the bank of tv screens from Haul 15, though!
Thanks. Yes, the controllers are there to stay I think. I did consider the TV pop video wall from that haul but I still reckon I'll have a band performing somewhere with this as the backdrop. Well remembered!
When you pointed out the sticker, I was sure we were going to get the "patients hot tea technic"!
Haha, don't want to overdo it!
Great build robin keep up the great work!
Thanks, Caleb. Much appreciated!
The extra shops look great next to the pet store and really help to fill up the area to give you a bustling street scene. I think it's fin without the barrier, for the reasons you have outlined. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas! I hope Santa brings you plenty of LEGO 😉
Merry Christmas to you too. Yes, they fit well together don't they. Thanks!
It's cool that the Friends tv sticker uses the (roughly) same channel logo as the TV van, a nice nod of the designers
Yes, there's a lot of repeating logos and themes in LEGO. I can't tell if it's all clever callbacks or plagiarism from the back catalogue. I like it either way!
Attractive shops. I say leave out the barrier. In a busy city layout, less can easily be more. Any pieces that aren't truly necessary would likely better serve elsewhere. Planning to add more cars or other traffic?
Thanks for the no barrier vote.
Yes, you are very right on the traffic. I keep meaning to add a load or add one per video at the end but I still haven't and the streets are looking empty. I'll have to make this a new year's resolution!
You're great at repurposing Lego buildings from other sets. Would love to see what you could come up with for some of the "mini modulars", like 31036, 31026 or 31097. I struggle with what to do with those and would love to see what kind of magic you could do... keep up the awesome vids!
I do have the first two sets you mention although my plans for them are waaaay off. I'll probably use them as a relatively neutral backdrop to a fun street scene because, you are right, they're a bit limited in scope.
The third set, 31097, I don't have but was considering buying. If I did I'd split it firmly into its two parts and assign a business to each. I'll need to brainstorm if I push the button on them!
@@RobinHoodBricks
I typically put them each on a 16 x 32 base plate and try to work them into a functional building. I've only been back into Lego for about 6 months and your sight is valuable for someone like me who isn't familiar with parts anymore and has no cache to pull from.
@@shelflifelego Glad to hear you're enjoying this journey!
I dont know how you do it, but your’re nailing it every single time. Its mega creative, ik like it. I can only hope my theme park is turning out the same as your city.
I still have the tv car set.... its oldschool
You're very generous with your praise. Thank you.
Good luck with your theme park. I can't wait to get started on my fairground but, to be honest, it seems a long way off right now!
I think next to the TV shop you could add a grocery store and I don't think it needs the barrier.
Yeah the grocery store will look cool there
No barrier it is. The convenience store is going to be much bigger than that. I'm think modular big, as in a whole baseplate with other stuff over the top. It's still in design phase though. Thanks for the suggestion though!
I can't wait for it!
This iconic brick build dragon 🐉 1:56 could fit in or through the LEGO store .. behind the knight. 😊
I love it
Thanks, Norfolk. Glad you enjoyed it!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, Beverley!
Hey Robin, I love your style of videos I just wanted to say the TV building doesn’t have the thin sidewalk like the Lego store.
I hope you had a great Christmas and I wish you a happy new year.
Edit: nvm I just saw how you fixed it.
Thanks very much, you too!
With the TV store what I suggest even though it's kind of old school but you know it could have been bought there before digital TV in HD you know.
And never removed .
First the old TV antenna pieces either in Gray or any other color the one with the spokes and maybe use one that's in rough shape on purpose.
Also a fabuland TV antenna.
And a TV antenna from The Simpsons house.
You know that often times you'll still see the old TV antenna / Ariel's even though they may not connect to anyting
Really love your city! Have you considered adding lights?
My aim is to fill the room with LEGO and I feel lights will slow that down massively, so probably not. Never say never though. Thanks for the comment!
new shops look great! have you considered moving the exotic pet shop next to the tv shop so you have a neat line of 3? then you have room next to the donut shop for your 5th shop...
I thought all three in a row would be a bit linear. Plus the escaping snake is fun to see. Thanks for the comment!
Maybe extend the pavement out over the subway and build some benches where people can sit etc
Only problem is it might obscure the subway?
That's my fear. I don't want to overshadow the subway. It's a cutaway so technically the benches you mention are there, we just can't see them!
Very nice update. think it looks better with building with back piece. so you don't look through
that's my taste.
Merry christmas 👍🍺
Merry Christmas, Daylight!
I would have put them back to back with a wall in between. It looks kinda strange to see through the back.
It provides good light and can't be seen from the other side. I like it!
On the roof of the TV store maybe double the antenna and put on angle like old TV bunny ears
you should put a mini-figure grabbing one of the lego mini-figure packets from the brick people at the lego store
If you put a barrier up you can use transparent panel then you would not see them
A good idea. Thanks for your comment!
Do you think a Lego store in a minfig city would also work well as a builders merchant?
A builders merchant / costume shop. Lol
I guess it would, haha!
Perhaps this is an inappropriate request, but I would love to see you add a library to Brick Nottingham.
I am constantly frustrated that LEGO has released hundreds of shop sets and other commercial buildings/spaces as well as hundreds of first responder sets (police, fire, hospital, etc.) but seems so reluctant to release a set representing what seems like a critical element of virtually every community. A library could be a super fun set and presents a lot of options in terms of both the interior and exterior design. In terms of bringing a city to life and giving it an authentic and charming feel, I think a library is one of the most critical and interesting buildings anyone could add to a LEGO city.
Firstly, I agree that the normal run of pizza, police and fire that LEGO puts out is very boring. That's because kids love that stuff, but we can do better.
I was genuinely thinking of doing a small library / book shop in the recent Sanctorum building but then LEGO announced the release of the latest modular bookshop.
A bookshop and a library might be too much. We'll see. I have a lot of plans and want to do my own modular, then a convenience store, then maybe a courthouse!
@@RobinHoodBricks The modular bookstore does look very nice, but I think Brick Nottingham could probably get away with having a nice, burly, AGGRESSIVELY BRUTALIST library as well. Also, if you put in a library, that gives you the opportunity to include a Spooky Occult Section.
The three shops would logically have been built by a small local company, so they probably built one building per year, so it would have been cool with a couple of custom stickers so the build years would be 1931, 1932 and 1933 🤘😊
It would be fun but I'm not going to go down the road of custom stickers due to the time, cost and limitless bounds of it!
@@RobinHoodBricks Hi Robin! Is there somewhere I can send you a picture? (Digital Christmas card) 😊
Email on channel About page or Instagram on each video!
You should add a gun shop or weapons store
I have a pawnbroker planned who'll have vintage weapons and guns for sale, in the seedy side of town, but I'm not sure I'll do a dedicated store for guns. We don't have them in the UK.
I do already have old medieval weapons for sale in the tourist office where the bus tours run from. There's a video for that if you want to check it out!
@@RobinHoodBricks This is one of the few situations where I feel like having some 3rd party weapons would add to the city as a whole. A pawn shop seems like the kind of place one would find a Luger taken as a war trophy, or a hunting shotgun someone just didn't want any more(nevermind whatever strange castoffs come from the local supervillains).
Hi Robin Hood bricks,
Great video!!
Were you able to get the dish on the roof of the TV store line up with the space station?
No, but I've got a few loose satellites to stick up there too!
Did you consider giving the spaceman and knight figures in the LEGO store different colored faces (flesh-toned?) to toy-ify them so they are different looking compared to the "real" people in your city? Also, not a big deal, but I'm not a big fan of the large red 2x4 block in the LEGO store window.
I didn't think of doing much, to be honest, as both those aspects were in the original. Maybe I should address at least the red block!
No barrier
Thanks, Malik. I agree!
Definitely no barrier. But if you did truly want to appease people unsettled by the ledge-that-is-actually-just-a-cutout, you could maybe consider making the cutout not a straight line. You could give it a "jagged" or "rough edge" where the edge goes in and out by one or two studs every so often.
This is obviously not necessary and a straight line there works just fine, but it's a potential option that might make the artificiality of the opening more immediately apparent.
@@ZackN85 It's a good call and one I also considered but I just think it'd look more weird than what we have. You can't please everyone at once so, I'm just gonna stick with what I have I think.
Great sharing though. Thanks!
hat do you think about add a comic book store?
I could do. I was also considering a vinyl record shop but the problem with both these ideas is having enough interesting stock inside. Lots of 2x2 tiles could get boring quite quickly!
@@RobinHoodBricks you know for insparation about how you can make more interesting look lego last modular building set. they used for books many different technics. also 330003 this set. It is my favourite lego store set. It is small but go and check please. I am sue you gonna like it. You can expend may be do 2 floors. I love design of it. I collect form brick link and made myself.
@@denizyil I'll check them out but I'll keep the Lego Store in this building I think!
Robin, is the Lego shopper in black, Jaystepher from UA-cam? I see a striking resemblance.
Cheers
I don't know who that is, so any resemblance is coincidental. In fact isn't that a series minifigure?!
@@RobinHoodBricks, Jay is a Lego moc builder in California. He does reviews, tutorials, and part explanations of sets. He gets sets from Lego for early review.
He has some good content to check out.
I have just a few UA-cam Lego builders I follow. Your channel is on the top of my list. Have you ever considered doing a live stream Q&A? I think it would be a lot of fun.
Why don’t you build the backstage of all the stores that Will look better
For several reasons, mainly so it isn't dark and hard to see into. Check out my 100th video - Full City Tour which also has all my design rules!
Great, as always. I'm a big fan of your electronics store. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Jer. It turned out better than I thought!
