10264 - Corner Garage

I like it despite not being what I expected; sorta goes with the DD. Will buy one with VIP points in early 2019.

There are no others like it.

Portland, Maine has one very similar called Miss Portland Diner.

I believe this is the "Nougat" color? Its pretty new and it probably made Lego-sense to use this for a building when they were manufacturing the brick selection. Its a pretty large "hair" color for BHz. I don't mind the color, but I can see this as being a one off that a lot of non-modular collectors go with because of the theme. 

I wasn't sure about the dark orange and figured I would wait to see it in person.  Then I read your post and looked at my Black Widow BHZ and yuck that is one ugly color.

The review says this is dark orange.  I believe that's the same color as the Town Hall, right?

I agree, damn shame they used it.

Yes, and the corner deli where I think it contrasts well with the light blue but not sure how it will look with sand blue and green

The reviewer over at Brickset liked it, but they were able to release a review the same day as the announcement and the price wasn't an issue for them either.

I think I like it, but I need to see it in person. The truth is that I need one anyway whether I like it or not, the question is whether I need to build an additional floor or not.

I like it, but 200 bucks is stupid. 

[lodibricks]

When I first glanced, I was excited hoping it would work best as an inverted corner. I can't think of the proper term. ha

It's set back a bit, but I suppose it'd still be blocked and cramped by the adjacent buildings (especially the garage door).

@TabbyBoy So, your assumed Fire Brigade rehash is coming 2020? (I doubt it.)

Here is a real downtown diner

If your going to post diner pics there is only one choice

I love it! I love the Garage and the openness. Lots of great details inside as well. This set works on so many levels and appeals to many different Lego fans!

Not sure why people are complaining about the colour. I like it a lot!

I like it.  It is missing a car.

A car would be a nice VIP free promo set to accompany the 01 Jan release.

Sure.  It's no big deal.  There are plenty of LEGO cars out there.  It would have been nice for that money to include one that was the proper proportion to the set.

I'm guessing Lego group already addressed the car issue by suggesting another purchase.

Hmm, this must mean there will be another Modular with a Car before DD retires...

Eat at this diner. Got your car towed.

A good look here...with annoying music.

Awesome set. I guess $200 is the new $160.

Makes me believe modulars are doing well?  Well I was impressed with the design I was thrown off by the price comparing the piece count to other modulars of similar count and ~$160 price tag. ?

I've bought those kinds of sets before, and I think it's not that bad of a price, really. I would like to get it a little cheaper, around $95-$105 or cheaper! 

I love how it looks, the detail, the color, and the mini-figures! Here's one of my favorite sets that I own!

From the pictures it appears that they went with the old modular box size on this.  I suppose when you have a price increase and you're asking $200 you need increase the "value" somehow.
