Would have liked something larger for 4000+ pieces. Modulars are getting progressively smaller and the Town Hall was the only exception. You really need two of the brick bank and this set to line them up to the other building (D. Office is close to requiring two sets as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think TLG knows this will sell, especially to those that have bought modulars in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'm underwhelmed. For the price I was thinking this would be a huge centerpiece not 3 small buildings. Looks like the corner deli on steroids. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that they didnt mentioned PS and PC. Why to ignore the mention of them, if they plan to produce them next year? There is a world "and", not "or", so it looks like a exact list of active modulars...It also makes a logic - its not good to have many modulars - competitors for new monster modular.

junkrigger Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Looks great, new design with surely some new building techniques. Perhaps even the beginning of a new more retro-modern cityscape more befitting of these modern times. Possible phasing out of some oldies and fresh new sets; what more can possibly be asked for.

bricketycricket Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 With this being 4000 pieces, $400+ and pretty similar in size to recent modulars like the Detective's Office, it's essentially just Lego forcing you to buy 2 modulars at once (in a single box). Love the interior details, strongly dislike the small/cramped exterior, and overall disappointed in this set. To me this is akin to Assault on Hoth: It's got the price tag and piece count to be something amazing but instead they just stuck a bunch of little models together.

Huskers1236 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Love the colors, love the design of the buildings, it's just sooooooo cramped. Needs a bigger footprint, and definitely a 2nd copy to finish out the buildings correctly. 4000+ pieces and most seem to be tiles of some kind. Ha. All the little details that they throw in are great. Mini builds of past Creator sets like Eiffel, HE, T1, Mini, etc. Buildings are definitely getting smaller over the years but we are also getting a much more finished product. The biggest complaint about Cafe Corner is the lack of interior. Then when Lego gives us a more detailed interior but reduces size by a bit to keep pricing level we complain about the size of the building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that and Parisian Restaurant was a fantastic build and easily my most enjoyable modular build. I LOVED the restaurant and kitchen part. Green Grocer is the only set with both impressive size and nice details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicoopers11 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I went to Brickset to read the full press release. Was expecting 90% of the comments to be negative, which is common. All seemed to be positive. What is going on?! Personally, I love this set. This, and all other sets, can always be better. But this set is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyclin Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Three years later getting back into Lego building and collection, I feel numbed. Design is not so much priority to Lego. Just based on Assembly Square appearance, I see limited character except three modulars crowded together, boasting 4000 pieces. Maybe one day Lego would come up with 10,000 pieces set? Maybe release in two sets and release one at the time, followed by the other and you can't fully complete the build if you don't buy the second set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Seems like 4000 pieces is the old 2000 pieces...Nice set. Some cute ideas. LEGO really could have made a nice "anniversary" set with some rare numbered bricks or minifigures. I am not overly impressed with it, but I love large sets and this one will sell a ton at $279.00 for 4000 pieces. I really like the baby...so damn cute. Overall, a well done and detailed set that could have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Brickowski Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I don't know, but with every new modular building released I find it harder to see the differences between all the models. For me it's like everything looks the same in a way. However, I'm not investing in this line anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
