LEGO Downtown Cars Showroom Modular MOC

January 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260) has been out for a few weeks now and fans have already taken liberty to modify their sets into their own. One of these builders is Brickdance9 who has changed the Diner into a Downtown Cars showroom. The set only uses parts from the Diner, minus the Mercedes AMG GT3 (75877) that is on the second level. This is a very ingenious way of using an existing large-scale set and changing it into something unique which I’ve been seeing more and more lately online.

January 15, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

If you’ve had trouble finding the new LEGO Creator Cute Pug (30542) polybag at Target, you may want to head over to the Valentine’s section of the store. Stores have started or have already completed their Valentine’s section at the back of the store and the Cute Pug polybags can be found in the cardboard boxes for $3.99 each. Thanks to Aaron for the heads up.

LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) Available on Amazon

January 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

I’m not sure if the LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) is just temporarily sold out or retired on Shop@Home, but there is some stock over on Amazon if you’re still wanting to pick it up. This is probably your final chance to get it because they are already gone from a majority of LEGO Brand Stores and it hasn’t been available for a while on Shop@Home. The Palace Cinema may not be the best modular building according to the survey I ran but it’s one of the more popular ones in the long line of modulars.

December 28, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

The LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260) was announced at the end of November but a new thing LEGO has been doing is putting out the designer video a while after instead of the same time as the reveal. Earlier today, LEGO has released the designer video of the Downtown Diner (10260) and senior designer Mike Psiaki talks about his latest creation but only a little part of it. The video mostly focuses on Mike himself as a designer. The Downtown Diner will be available starting on January 1 for $169.99.

Drop in at the LEGO® Creator Expert 10260 Downtown Diner, where you’ll discover a healthy portion of fun and surprises. This impressive model features removable building sections for easy access to the detailed interior, which comprises a ground-level 1950s-style diner with a large curved front window, red bar stools, jukebox, counter and an open-plan kitchen. The mid level has a gym with boxing ring, punching bag and weight training room, while on the upper-level you’ll find a recording studio, complete with vocal booth, mixing desk and a refreshments cabinet. The facade of the building features pink-and-teal Streamline Moderne styling with a large ‘DINER’ sign. Other external features include arched windows, balconies and a staircase, plus a pink convertible car and a detailed sidewalk, complete with mailbox, parking meter, flowerpots and a streetlamp. This incredible collectible toy has been designed to provide a challenging and rewarding building experience with a touch of nostalgia and charm. Includes 6 minifigures.

LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Roller Coaster Set Coming Summer 2018

December 27, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new roller coaster elements from The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Manor (70922) opens up a lot of opportunities for roller coaster sets in the future and it looks to be happening in summer 2018. Rumor has it that there will be a LEGO Creator 3-in-1 roller coaster set (31084) that is pirate themed and uses the new track and cart pieces. There’s no other details given but expect to see images of the set at the Nuremberger Toy Fair at the beginning of February.

LEGO Creator Modular Building Ranking Results

December 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

A few weeks ago, I posed a question for the readers to rank their favorite LEGO Creator modular buildings from all the ones that have been released so far to the upcoming Downtown Diner (10260). We’ve had over 1,800 responses to the survey and here are the results of what you guys feel is your favorite modular.

1. Parisian Restaurant – 13.67%
2. Assembly Square – 11.74%
3. Detective’s Office – 11.52%
4. Green Grocer – 10.84%
5. Fire Brigade – 9.63%
6. Palace Cinema – 8.41%
7. Downtown Diner – 7.22%
8. Town Hall – 6.46%
9. Cafe Corner – 5.82%
10. Pet Shop – 5.58%
11. Grand Emporium – 3.91%
12. Brick Bank – 3.17%
13. Market Street – 2.03%

The results are very interesting because the Downtown Diner is in the middle of the pack even though it hasn’t been released yet but people like it enough based on the images. It’s also somewhat not surprising that Market Street is last due it it not being that popular even though it was one of the very first modulars released.

Thank you to everyone who participated. Can you give a reason of how you ranked the modulars? Let us know in the comments below. Hopefully we can do more of these ranking posts in the future.

LEGO Releases Statement Regarding Downtown Diner (10260) Minifigure Faces

December 11, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

The LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260) was announced a few weeks ago as the next modular building that is set to be released on January 1. You may have noticed that the minifigures will now have facial expressions instead of the usual smiley faces that we’ve gotten for the past decade. A lot of longtime fans of the modulars were disappointed in the change as it strayed away from what they were used to. LEGO has been following those comments and the Creator Expert team has released a statement regarding the use of facial expressions in the Downtown Diner modular.

Over the past 10 years our modular buildings have evolved in many ways. We’ve added more interior details, more story-telling and more emotional triggers such as unique decorations on windows & Minifigure torsos. We now feel the time is right to bring the Minifigure expression in line with all the amazing details now offered throughout our models. We have always loved the classic smiley face for its versatility and nostalgia value, but are now excited to explore the new possibilities expressive faces will offer us.
