ks6349 Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) Downtown Diner, I love three floors, I do not like the pink car and the pink "Diner" sign. Corner Garage, I like that it serves as a corner building, I do not like, the brown color, looks so dull and not beautiful Which one will you pick if you can pick only one??

Collector245 Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 I would probably pick the Downtown Diner because it has a great interior and I really like the concept. Quote
a-star Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Corner garage. While it gets dumped on a bit, it really is an excellent set. The color palette is a bit muted but it's balanced well, the architecture is very realistic but the best thing is that it's a great playset. The garage is a neat playset on it's own and pairs well with smaller car sets that kids may already have, and the roof over the gas pump as well as the other roof surfaces make this a great superheroes playset for minifigs to jump around and battle on. I know this may not be the kind of feature that you're looking for in a modular, but corner garage is just good Lego. Quote

Any guess from experienced lego players? I've got Paris Restaurant and Assembly Square already and I don't want to get Diner and this Garage..... Quote
Littleworlds Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 I find the Downtown Diner more charming than the Corner Garage. The theme is lovely and the architectural features of the build are quite outstanding. The garage appears to me a bit gimmicky with its layout and the interior of ground level could have received more detailing. Quote
MAB Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I picked both. If I could only pick one due to budget limitations, I'd pick neither. I'd spend that money on something else like the fishing store. Quote
AFOLguy1970 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 It sounds like you like the attributes of The Diner more. The car can be hidden or used for something else, and the sign can easily be removed if you do not like those. Plus, the Diner is significantly less expensive. Quote
Retro Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 The Diner (which I have) is nice, and the Garage (which I don't) is probably nice. But if you have the slightest interest in something a bit different, and you can afford it, I would recommend Ninjago City as the ultimate 'modular' building experience. I can't recommend it highly enough. Just great fun to build, from start to finish. Constant 'wow' moments. Quote

Not a budget issue, but I don't very like Diner and Garage , but I only like Expert buildings that are still available and not retired. Edited July 29, 2019 by ks6349 Quote
Retro Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Ninjago City is a specific set, 70620, age 16+. It is, I think, the fourth largest set ever released. The techniques used are some of the most unusual you will find in an official Lego set. You don't have to have any interest in Ninjago to appreciate it. The feeling is quite Japanese and somewhat science fiction, like Blade Runner. The Lower levels are less sci-fi and more naturalistic. Quote
