calmkiller Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Hi guys, First post here. I just recently rediscovered my love for Lego after about 10 years away. I am now married and have just recently, within the last 4 months, discovered the modular buildings sets. My first purchase was Fire Brigade and I loved it. I have plans to purchase GE, PS and TH before they go OOP, but alas Corner Shop, Market Street and Green Grocer are only available from third parties such as Ebay and such. I think I will be able to pull off Green Grocer without much problem and I may luck out on a Corner shop. Do to my recent marriage I can't spend our money the way I use to spend my money. The question that I present to you is this. Is there a guide to the cheapest/easiest way to build Market Street or any other Modular without buying an official set for outrageous amounts? Can I buy the pieces individually? Is it worth it doing it that way? What is my best bet here? Any help would be appreciated. I searched the forum but didn't see anything related to what I was contemplating.
TheLegoDr Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 This should help. Click here. Good luck. I have been doing some of this off and on and it has helped a little bit. It may help you more since you are just now getting back into the hobby.

The link provided in the above message should help with your question. I found my wife and I have a great time building the modulars together. For example, she built one of the Pet Shop buildings and I did the other. For the Grand Emporium, we split the floors (I let her have the bottom and she gave me floors 2 and 3). Something to think about as you are getting your modulars.

My wife and I build Fire Brigade together. I did the truck and the base floor. She got the 2nd and 3rd floor. It was a lot of fun. Just wish I hadn't been out of the game for so long. I would have the full sets. But it will be fun trying to piece them together.
Ricecracker Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Locked, now that the question is answered. Further discussion can go in the topic linked to above.
