I managed to get one of the new Lego Grand Emproium sets over the weekend and have uploaded a video onto You Tube of me building it. Some of the film is in time lapse and this is my first attempt at something like this so I hope you like it.

Looks great! Gee, it has a lot of parts and alot of bags! So many details which weren't evident from the pictures! Thanks for posting this!

BTW, what is the music?

Thank you so much for posting this. It was a very good time-lapse for your first outing. :] I especially loved seeing the interiors of the 2nd and 3rd floors! It looks like a great build, and a worthy addition to the rest of the line. :]

Lucky, can you do a review?

[dragonboy79]

I never bought Cafe Corner, Market Street, Green Grocer, or the Fire Brigate. But maybe I'll get the Grand Emporium... because your video is very convincing! The music fits too. I felt like I'm in a shopping mall.

Excellent video, very enjoyable! I'm amazed at how you managed to build whole floors without moving the base plate even a slight bit, I know I couldn't!

The music is Poppiholla by Chicane

I cheated a little and used some small pieces of double sided tape!

Love the building, but given it has the same number of bricks as the Fire Beigade (give or take a few...), it baffles me how they can justify a £40 hike on the price...

Might be the first CC-standard building I pass on.

I managed to get it from the Lego shop in Milton Kenyes - I think they have taken them off the shelves now as my mate tried to order one and was told there were none left!

Stunning! I don't normally watch videos that long but I watched that one! I have questions;

1. Are the skylight pieces the old Model Team windscreens? I hope so!
2. Is that thing on the top floor a weight/exercise machine?

Thanks for sharing!

1. The skylight is made up of 2 large windscreens (12 bricks wide) - I'm not sure if they are from Model Team or not but I do a close up of the windscreens on the video (at time 6:03)

2. Not sure what you mean but the items on display on the top floor are all toys. There is a scooter, 2 balls and a small house - (I think you probably mean the blue/black scooter but I may be wrong)

A 12 wide windscreen is good enough!

I'm probably wrong; I'll have to make mine into a weight machine!

Thanks for the answers.

Woah, great video Iain. I really want to pick up this set, bring on March!
