  • The 16th Modular has arrived and it is a Police Station. LEGO has taken a very retro approach to this new set, but it works pretty well. In addition to my review I have also given this an "Alex" score in an attempt to do an apples to apples comparison to other sets. This is the first to receive one so more to come on that.

    I like the “Soap n Suds” reference, but I modified my Brick Bank and made the laundry into a LEGO store. I thought it more appropriate considering prices of LEGO sets. 😂 I love all of the unique build details in this set, but that’s Chris McVeigh for you (I’m pretty sure that he’s responsible for the Bonsai Tree also). This may not be the most interesting Modular build but the details really help make up for it.
    Oh, and I still have my old rotary phone that I grew up with. I collect old tech.

    I agree with you, I wish they would have included a 1940s retro police car with this set. Having said that, I hope they consider the idea of issuing something like that as a separate small set sometime later.

    I think you should try and nudge the Police Station between two other Modulars because of how the building is with the two small and thiner buildings on either side, that would just make it look the best In my opinion.

  • @josephd27

    I think the police station looks great. When I first heard about it I wasn't really into it as Lego city has a ton of police station sets out there. But then I saw a few leaked photos and I love the old style building way more than the plain blue and white stations. I will be getting this one but not right away. I still need the corner garage and book store first. I just picked up my first ever modular yesterday Assembly Square

  • @maniacmedic1985uk
    @maniacmedic1985uk 3 года назад +4

    Looks a very nice set with some cool features. I think that the designer has come up with a unique design putting the main build in the middle. Makes it stand out from other modulars. It’s a bit of a shame there’s no retro police car with it. I agree with you Alex that the doughnut shop could do with a bit more space. Overall I think the score is fair.

    The model looks very nice, but the ground plan really is cramped. There's barely room to stage the mini figures. And two bathrooms? Does the one lonely bowl in the prison cell actually count as a "bathroom"? The highlights of this set are the rotary phones, the typewriter and the idea for the staircase. Very useful for MOCs. The rest is ... nice, but I absolutely despise those black building instructions.

    Alex gives the new set 29/50... all modular designers (especially the 2022 set) feel pressured to do better. lol. It’s a wonderful set. Maybe you can find a way to place it beside Assembly Square. The chicken roof ornament in assembly would fit the egg roof ornament of the donut shop. It might have been placed on purpose as an easter egg/reference to an older set.

    • @alexnunes

  • @JopieHaargel
    @JopieHaargel 3 года назад +1

    This must be the most uneventful modular in quite some time. The prison cot lifts up, oh wow, a suggestion of a tunnel! But wait, there's also a regular bed that lifts up! How do they come up with these things?! All the interiors are just SO lacklustre and the main selling point is a staircase that is a castle wall on its side. Very underwhelming.

  • @ronik24

    Hmmmmm... I got a Modbrix newsstand which does look quite similar, also dark green... it is just about twice as large, much better equipped and has a more interesting roof construction with hinges facilitating a slightly sloped roof. Maybe some Lego designer saw that... Innovation certainly does not just go into one direction nowadays, Lego is already copying ideas from the competition quite a lot. By the way: Doug Score ;-)

    @matthewpotter8491 3 года назад +2

    Hi Alex. Thanks for the video. Must admit, I was a bit underwhelmed when this was first announced. Yes it’s a nice building, but to me it just doesn’t scream police station. Agree with pretty much all of your comments. After your video my view remains the same. You reaffirmed a lot of my initial thoughts. That said, it’s a modular at the end of the day, so will still be picking up and adding to my city at some point this year.
    I think the apartment is a bit of a letdown with the lack of dedicated stairs. I’m also not fussed on the colour. The purple reminds me too much of a Friends set.
    The other big omissions for me are lack of car. Yes I know there are a hundred police cars, but like the Palace Cinema and Downtown Dinner, I think a vehicle should have come with this set. Finally, I think the minifigs are a little disappointing too. I would like to have seen at least one (ideally two) more.
    Oh and final thing...: the box artwork. No no no no no. Not for the modulars. I do really like this new ‘Adult’ design style. However, it just doesn’t lend itself well for the modular series. It’s too serious! It works great on something like the Coliseum or the new botanicals collection. However, to me modulars are all about fun and creativity. They put a smile of your face. They should’ve bright colourful boxes like the old creator expert ones in my opinion.

    I’m a little worried this is going to be the last modular. The only reason I think that is because it didn’t come with an pins to connect it to other buildings which I thought was sorta odd. Could be just a mistake on Legos part, who knows.

      Yeah sorry Alex, love the scoring, but that rating seems a bit off.
      The value for this set seems to be very good, with one of the lowest ppp out of all of the modulars.
      Playability a 5... they give you more than 3 play features.
      I guess 29/50 just sounds low, 4 marks off a "middle of the road".
      Really looking forward to you scoring the others! :)

    I really like this new modular, but my one issue with it is how come it didn’t come with a police car. Seems like a big miss on not including one.

    Did you know my police station (europe) includes a different clock print? (updated design)

    Nice build, no room for a Lego city where i currently live, but this would be on my shopping list if i had the space.
