LEGO 10190 Market Street

Product Information

Huw, I know this is pedantic, but could Market Street possibly be added to both the Modular Buildings and the Factory subthemes, for historical reference? There is only this single guy selling food, you have to imagine all the others selling fish, meat and all the other good stuff. Element 2039, White Lamp Post, 2 x 2 x 7 with 6 Base Flutes is almost a staple of the Modular theme. The use of profile bricks as weathering lacks the realism of the more modern "masonry brick" which would likely perform a similar role today.

Right now I can’t figure out whether Market Street was designed before Café Corner (thus inspiring the entire series) or after it as a response. The minifigures that come with include two ladies and a gentleman in green dungarees, perhaps the green grocer? The Diner was my first Modular, and it's still my favorite in terms of aesthetic and build experience. If anything, the features that set it apart the most from other Modular Buildings Collection sets are the many ways it was thoughtfully tailored to allow builders dissatisfied with the base model to modify it to their liking!Contact Us LEGO, the LEGO logo, the Minifigure, and the Brick and Knob configurations are trademarks of the LEGO Group of Companies.

Judging by my wife�s reaction of my pant/shirt color selection when I get dressed in the morning, it could just be that I am somewhat color blind in that spectrum. Of course, it made sense at the time to make it compatible with the café, to help establish the standard and encourage builders to add their own designs to their street, but I think it's best left out of it now. We partner with Rakuten Advertising, who may collect personal information when you interact with our site. In my never-ending pursuit for modular house builds, I have come across a handful of custom editions substituting many of the colors in a number of interesting ways although they may not always mesh. One could easily populate the empty market with some stalls of one’s own building and design, though two big crates of fruit are provided to get you started.

Well, with the drought of new sets here in the United States and the faster-than-light ability of Yoda to crank out reviews, it has been a slow Spring and Summer for Dunamis. But Market Street never interested me, I always thought the design and layout and the way interaction would be possible with other buildings looked amateurish, despite having regards to the more limited palette of parts available then. Sometimes I can figure it out and come out well, other times I am left scratching my head wondering what other people are seeing that I am not. All of them come together to form a coherent street full of vibrant detail, so you’d naturally want to have them all.

The site also later added a page with furniture-building tips by an Australian LEGO fan who is better known to us today as set designer Mel Caddick ( http://factory. Course the same has been accomplished with the original Café Corner model just as well and to a somewhat lesser extent the Green Grocer too. This set was designed by adult brick fans and sold by the Danish company as one of their “Factory” line, showcasing fan designs, and leading up to the very popular “Ideas” concept that produces several new sets from the community each year.Looking at it now over a decade later, it looks even worse and I'm glad it's not an eyesore on my street. Oh, I should mention that the original Market Street building had a staircase right in the middle of each floor.

Realistic features include opening doors and windows, gate, street light, striped awning, fruit to sell at the market and more! Best I can figure is that you're referring to the paving stones on the market/arcade side being offset from the usual 2x2 grid, but there's no reason to assume that was ever considered an inviolable rule. We waited patiently with great anticipation for the Next Modular Building to be created:, The Greatest Modular of all Time: GREEN GROCER ! I don't know about anyone else, but I like looking at bulk lots and playing a guessing game about what might be there.It looks OK lined up alongside the older modulars if you discard the "garage" and just display the building on its 16 x 32 baseplate - it was included in my "Modular row" for years and didn't look out of place. There had been a few LEGO Factory sets before this one, but Market Street in particular was clearly meant to encourage LEGO fans to create their own MOCs expanding on the modular street — after all, in that first year, that was really the only way to turn Cafe Corner and Market Street into a larger neighborhood! Market Street was my first Modular house and it was the first truly large building, that I got into my collection as an AFOL.
