" I have all 9 modular buildings and about 70 other sets. This one is the most unique in appearance. A building more for a side street in place of Main Street in the Lego town. This is a nice change of pace. There are no stickers. All printed parts!! This adds to the quality of the product. I think the safe in the detective's office should have had a printed door. Lucky for me I had one in my spare parts bin to give the office the complete finished look it deserved. The theme of the set is fun with the cookie prohibition. My 7 yr old enjoyed the story line. However, I think it went a little too far with the "playability" in this aspect with trying to make a secret passage from the barber shop to the pool hall. This especially takes away from the barber shop with an obvious design intended to be a handle to open the passage. It takes away from the overall appearance of the interior. The actual reflective mirror in the barber shop helps to make up for this. Overall, there are lots of parts for hours of creative fun. The level of detail (and creative building techniques) is so far beyond what was done in the original Café Corner modular, it is hard to believe they are a part of the same series. The modular series as a whole is a great toy and investment. To improve these sets Lego should get away from the traditional smiley face and go for ones with further details to match what is being done with the buildings. Also, as they had done with the Fire Brigade, they should have vehicles included in the sets that are reflective of the 30's-40's to add to the overall street scene and theme of the buildings being created. If you like large Lego sets for the parts or for display, you won't be disappointed with this one. "
