Love it!

" Easy to build and include in your own Lego builds. I picked up the Banana Man, who in my opinion is the greatest minifigure since the Hot Dog Man. He could definitely use a pair of pajamas or a banana stand. I also picked up two of the hikers as they come with a happy face and a confused face so you have one leading the way and one who is lost behind him. They also include a backpack, map, and a really neat compass. The Mariachi includes that nice guitar and detailed side printing on the clothes and sombrero and is essential to any Mariachi band. I also picked up the Spy, Scallywag Pirate, and Babysitter. I am tempted to pick up the Dog Show Winner and use him as the owner of the Pet Shop from 10218. "

Loved It

" This is my favorite modular set out of the five I have built. It is very detailed and they do not leave a lot of wasted or empty space. It is a rather tight space to work in. The pool hall has a beautiful pool table and ceiling fan. The "glass work", "POOL", and "AL'S" signs on the front side of the building are very attractive. I rather enjoyed the amount of detail they placed in the detective's office which included a secret letter behind the picture, a wanted posted, a cluttered desk with a very nice desk lamp, hat rack, magnifying glass, fan on a storage cabinet, safe, etc. The bathroom across the hall didn't seem to fit with the rest of the building but has an element of humor to it. I was glad that there were secondary options in the set for hair/head pieces for the characters. The news stand is a welcome addition and helps make the modulars when placed together look more like a city street. I have the Parisian Restaurant modular to the left which shows off the brickwork on the side of the detective's office. I do wish that the pieces used to hang up the picture and the wanted poster were the same color as the brickwork as those fairly visible from the outside of the building. The ladder in the middle of the buildings just kind of hangs there and it more of an aesthetic piece and is not very functional. The height of the building is relatively close to that of the Brick Bank which I like because it gives bank robbers another route of escape and another element of the law to run into. Speaking of the law... the story line that goes with the building is a "sweets" prohibition era story that I rather enjoyed. The passageways aren't easy to use but creative and fun. The lady upstairs is the one baking the sweets. She does have a cat sidekick. There's a "Bricking Bad" pun in there I'm sure. It was a fun build and I'd like to see more like this. "
