Double digit reviews already? I have a large backlog to catch up on, so I'll be at this for a while. Every city needs buildings and I finally had the chance to add 10211-1: Grand Emporium to New Legorleans. I won't have a teaser here: get this set. Minifigures: As always with these Creator Expert sets, the minifigures are not the best. All very common parts and the standard smiley face. That said, the bride mannequin…

This set was my first modular building. In 2011, I found one on eBay which was an unwanted Christmas present and I got it for just £90. It arrived and the box was in relatively bad shape; crumpled, crushed and a bit ripped; but I couldn't complain because I got it for nearly £50 less than the original retail price. I began building the first floor and I love it; I'd never built anything like this before. I had previo…

The set is pretty good for price for piece, at US $150 and over 2,100 pieces. The set goes well with town and city sets, along with displays of many Lego themes. I personally love this set. Box/Instructions The box is absolutely huge. It's about the same size as most other modular building boxes. But the bags fit quite tight inside. There are three instruction booklets included with the set, all of which are pretty e…

If you wondering whether or not to buy this set, I hope that my review can be of assistance to you! Box/Instructions The box is very big for this set, as are all LEGO boxes for products over $100, and it is probably oversized for looks to make people buy it. The instructions are fairly easy to follow, and consist of 3 instruction packets. Parts This set has a very wide variety of parts. From the flowers out in front …

The Modular Building line has matured to great effect over the past seven years, with new products becoming a staple event. It's interesting to note that, had the designers not broadened the appeal of these models, the product line wouldn't have progressed to the heights of 'Parisian Restaurant'. But looking back, it's becoming clearer that past Modular Buildings were not so focussed, and perhaps lacked the values th…

Ever since modular buildings started releasing 5 years ago, I have always watched in amazement at the level of detail put into each one, which has never been done before (2008) in the history of Lego. As much as I wanted to have a modular building or two in my city, they were mighty expensive and were quite large in size (my city takes up approximately 1 m x 1.2 m, compare that to 32x32 baseplates which take up 0.25 …
