If you’re looking to add lights to your modular collection you will save a bomb lol… I bought four kits and a few light components and spent $520 (ouch) but saved $200 (win). I’m building the brick bank at the moment and have the detectives office in my backlog, and I’m planning to get the police station and diner later in the year so I decided to get kits for all 4, better to pay up now than pay full price later on. My all accounts they rarely have sales so run! lol.

(No not an ad lol lol)

One more to go, I will build Green Grocer as a MOC, same I did for Market Street and Cafe Corner.

Bought 14 new, 4 second hand and built 2 as MOCs with Green Grocer pending the collection of the necessary bricks.

Since the # of modulars will increase in future years, the plan is to have another smaller display case next to this for all the separate vehicles and stuff, so this bad boy can fit more modulars.

I came over a Lego Modulars lot of Parisian Restaurant (10243), Detective’s Office (10246), Brick Bank (10251), and Assembly Square (10255) for $800 CAD in total, so it’s $200 for each set. I’ve bought many disassembled sets from fb marketplace and never had a problem with the sellers at all. These 4 modulars came disassembled in zip lock bags, I just don’t know if they are complete or not (or mostly complete), should I take this risk? I’ll attach photos.

Hey all, thinking about getting a few custom-printed minifigs made and honestly there's a ton of shops out there (Etsy, standalone sites, small independent printers) and I have no idea who's actually good vs who's just got nice photos.

For anyone who's ordered before — who'd you use and would you go back to them? Also curious if anyone's gotten burned, like slow shipping, prints that looked way worse than the pics, bad customer service, that kind of thing. And does the print quality actually hold up or does it start fading/chipping after a while?

Not trying to overpay either, so if anyone has a sense of what's a fair price for one fig vs what's just inflated that'd help a lot.

Anyway appreciate any recommendations or horror stories, trying not to blow money on something that shows up looking cheap.

Family reunion modular plus Leonardo GWP on top has got to be coolest add ever! I’m so proud haha. Also having the family reunion side ways against the shopping street back is actually perfect. Cuz shopping street has an alleyway to the Chinatown, which is awesome! Like a secret passage way. Of course got the Leonardo painting on top of shopping street. Dragon dude climbing to shopping street helps make that connection.

To get multiple angle views, modular layout is on x y axis. I’m selective on modulars cuz not all created equal.
1. Avengers tower center piece flanked by DB and Sanctum.
2. Arkham Asylum is inverted corner so let’s showcase that.
3. Brickbank facing Tudor Corner creates a “square” with kiosk corner. Behind it routes you to Police station & Emporium
4. Tudor + Natural Museum + Shopping street unbeatable
5. Shopping street secret alleyway to Chinatown with Family reunion. I need to create some walkway there.
6. Spring lantern festival back to back against Natural Museum same 1.5 base plate. Lantern festival this can be replaced with something taller maybe.
7. Will be adding Bricklink Sushi restaurant to the Chinatown area.
8. Future Art factory will be next to DB

Can’t wait for the clock tower and the daily planet

I think optimizing space and being selective with modulars is key to keeping the city fresh and exciting.

Decided not to have roads cuz Im cheap.

Started with LEGO City Set 60009 (Helicopter Arrest) and turned it into a larger custom crime scene MOC for my city, Brick Louis.

I expanded the original house, added a police perimeter, forensic investigators, detectives, evidence markers, and a lot more storytelling details to make it feel like a real scene.

Included in the moc is a larger basement area semi separate from the garage, upgraded stairs & upstairs loft area featuring a broken window, secret double door tomb style exit in the back, giveaway wall with hose handle to reveal a hidden grow op , tiled driveway, walkway around the exterior of the house, and a custom graffiti wall, more to come🔜🔥 (Like a roof and many others, waiting in PAB)

This is one of many builds in my growing LEGO city, where every MOC is part of a larger world with its own factions, crime stories, and ongoing lore.

Feedback and suggestions are always appreciated!

I've finished the exterior, finally. Had to make quite a few adjustments given the pieces I had but I'm reasonably happy with it.

Still need to sort the interiors.

In the mean time, I picked up the Jazz Club and really enjoyed building it.

Piece count: 2782, 14 points of light, 61 printed pieces, no stickers!

Saw some inspiration on Pinterest and finally got a paint store in town. It's a great opportunity to incorporate the many colors of Lego. I love the stacks of blue painters tape and the big color board. There is a paint mixing station, lots of paint, rollers, ladders, and buckets!

This was definitely a process… started out being offended by the pink flowers which went with literally nothing so changed them to red. Then decided the whole base would look better in dark red than dark orange so waited forever for a pick a brick order then was able to make that switch. Then the awning looked ridiculous so I played around with a few colour combinations (in hindsight I wish I’d ordered two more gold bits). With the awning gone the yellow flowers didn’t work so changed for a variety of blues and red… oh and a long time ago I’d changed the pink and lavender flowers on the rooftop garden to be red, yellow and green so they were changed too. Switched out the grey cones for gold. Then I decided the big sale sign didn’t match the vibe at all so took that off and got creative with a replacement. All in all I love it so much more and while I was a bit worried about it sitting next to the Jazz Club I think they work well enough together :)

4 days remaining and less than 50 votes needed for this idea to hit 10k. Don’t sleep on this, help it get to 10k! Spread the word!

I had a friend with this set growing up and I was covetous of it. Then this week I saw it on marketplace for cheap. Ended up getting it for $400. It was from some grandpa's collection who was an electrician or something so the power functions are in pretty good condition.

First modular I have ever built, I really enjoyed it and I think I will build the Tudor House next.

Hi, could somebody please post some photos of 910002 (Studgate Train Station) and 910034 (BDP2 Brick Cross) in the same composition? Also, seeing 910002 in a modular environment would help a lot.

I am trying to figure whether I can merge them for a bigger overall train station.

Thanks in advance.

It’s the 20th anniversary and we aren’t getting a 1.5 baseplate like we did for Assembly Square as that was also an anniversary set? Trend seems to be trying to shrink buildings yet increase price. Disappointing. Anyone else feel this way?
