Perfect Party Place
" Beach House has it all. For a smaller set, Beach House does not disappoint. It offers all you could need from a small house including a fireplace, a loft, and a barbeque. Although it is small, your mini-figures can still have a good time at this house. It is a great addition to your City collection and adds a lot of variety to your residential area.

A Very Versatile Set
" This set was a must have. If you have a LEGO city, then this is an excellent addition to your residential area. The house can be built 3 different ways. I picked up another set because I loved 2 of the styles. You can build a mirror image of them as well in case you want several, but don’t want them to look identical. The garage opens and closes and can even fit a small car. The inside is hollow and no accessories come with it. The roof is built separately on all 3 models so you remove it to peek inside. The house allows for some additions of your own on the inside, but only for the bottom floor. I wish the driveway was solid instead of two pathways, but that is something you can always add yourself. A very excellent set. I hope LEGO keeps these fun CREATOR sets coming.

Lots of Room
" If you build a lot in bulk then this is a must have. The base plate can be used for so many things. I have used them for larger scale buildings, parking lots, and even a car dealership. No other base plate will spread your city out faster. It is a bit on the pricey side for only one plate, but offers the convenience of plenty of building space.

Heavy Looking Truck
" If you are into the construction sets, then you will need at least one of these cement mixers. This set offers many realistic accessories relative to a cement truck. It fits great on the new road plates and can easily access many parts of your LEGO city to lay concrete. Many of the construction sets are too large and bulky to do this. Its double axle front and back give it a heavy truck look. Anther great vehicle to add to the variety of city cars.

Vehicle Variety
" This set will add to the variety of vehicles in any LEGO city. It works much like a recycle/garbage truck would in real life. It fits well on the new road plates and offers a lot of accessories such as a garbage can, hand truck, and broom. It is a great value for your money and offers a great play experience.

More Roads
" The best thing about these new road plates is the road is wider. Since LEGO has recently been producing wider cars it only makes sense to have wider roads. I noticed they also mixed up the roads, Instead of buying one pack of curved roads; you get a curve and a T-intersection etc. That is nice, but can be inconvenient if you only want a large amount of one road type such as straights. They are nothing like previous road plates, so if you connect them in your city they may look a little odd. I ended up buying a large amount of these new roads so I could avoid that look, but in so doing spent a lot of money. They are almost twice the price as their predecessors. They do look great with the new sets LEGO has been coming out with such as Café Corner and Green Grocer.

Three in One
" If you are looking for a way to expand your LEGO city with one purchase then this is it. City Plan will add a variety of buildings along with great decor, especially with the fountain. My favorite of the three buildings is the movie theatre. Its retro look is superb and does include a small movie theatre and concession stand on the inside. I don’t care much for the courthouse as it is only a face of what should be a much larger building. It has an attractive look on the front though. I would suggest you surround the building with other building to hide the incomplete look of it. The Gas station is great and also sports a very retro look. I would consider it a complete set which allows for good playing experience. I do feel that the price for City Plan is high considering the overall play experience, but like any other LEGO set you can always alter or add to your sets.

Another Great Addition!
" Market Street is another great addition to any LEGO city. I love the great detail and compatibility it has with other sets like Green Grocer and Cafe Corner. Its square design allows you to rotate the upper levels to face different directions. This proves very helpful when connecting it to other buildings. It lacks sufficient space on the inside to really create any living space for mini-figures, but its overall look will add variety and detail to any LEGO city.

Keep Them Coming
" When I first saw Green Grocer I could not get it soon enough. It is very complimentary to Cafe Corner and Market Street. My favorite part about this set besides the excellent detail on the outside is the detail on the inside. Most sets do not come with an interior, but this set has it all. It does allow for some of your own interior ideas as well on the second and third levels. No angle is left untouched as Green Grocer is compatible with other sets on the sides, has a walk out and fire escape on the back along with a balcony, and has an amazing detailed facade. Way to go LEGO! Please keep sets like this coming.
