GRogall Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Hi, I can highly recommend getting 10185 Green Grocer. The real problem is that these sets are very addictive and you won't be able to stop after the first one. Just a slight warning! Edited March 27, 2010 by grogall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iluvmyelement Posted March 29, 2010 Hi, I can highly recommend getting 10185 Green Grocer. The real problem is that these sets are very addictive and you won't be able to stop after the first one. Just a slight warning! Green Grocer is now sold out at S@H. Very few stores have them left. If anyone here was on the fence - hurry and buy one if you can find it.

jmupton2000 Posted March 30, 2010 It is still listed as available from the UK S@H as I just caved in after the gloriousness of the Grand Emporium and ordered one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC8Monkey Posted April 2, 2010 I was just on Shop@Home and it is listed as backordered and will ship in June. There is still a chance for all of you that have yet to buy this wonderful set. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted June 9, 2010 Hail! Thanks for this most excellent review! Probably the funniest review ever! But I do have a qustion, though: Is there a baseplate for each floor? Not like the first/ground baseplate, but large plates where to build each floor, or is it like many plates brought together? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 9, 2010 Since this has been bumped up again, I thought I'd have my two cents worth. ONE of my favorite Lego sets of all time ! My son constantly uses the Green Grocer building for his minifig plays - the best part is the highly detailed shop with all it's food and display fridge too ! If you don't own this set, try and get it - you won't be sorry ! I'm a conformist! everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinalFeature Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Hail!Thanks for this most excellent review! Probably the funniest review ever! But I do have a qustion, though: Is there a baseplate for each floor? Not like the first/ground baseplate, but large plates where to build each floor, or is it like many plates brought together? Its many different plates built together, for example: 2 2x4s are connected by a 2x8 underneath the 2 bricks.

Camusdarrach Posted June 9, 2010 It is still listed as available from the UK S@H as I just caved in after the gloriousness of the Grand Emporium and ordered one. Bought my Greengrocer last Sunday at Lego shop Milton Keynes, and they only had a few left, less than 10 in total... If you get it you won't be dissapointed..

squiz Posted June 9, 2010 Hopefully picking mine up next week. Just waiting for the store to get medieval market village in as well so i can get both at the same time (and 2x vip points!) Great review as well, looking at the pictures convinced me to get it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooootles Posted June 9, 2010 I'm thinking of getting another one. One to increase my GG to 4 floors. Quite literally, it was this set, not Cafe Corner, that tore me out of LEGO obscurity and increased my inventory piece count to around 15000 in less than a year. Best big modular ever, the most pieces out of all them 4 (or 5) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melmac Posted June 21, 2010 I got mine today and it looks great but I wonder how many polybags with bricks it should have? Because mine does not have the same number of polybags as said in this review. Is it different depending when the set was made and bought? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZO6 Posted June 27, 2010 I finally got around to ordering this beauty from S@H. Oddly enough, when I placed my order, it said that I qualified for the Toy Story activity book. When I received my order yesterday, the activity book wasn't there (nor was it listed on the receipt/invoice) but it would have actually been more of a surprise to me had one actually made its way to me anyway. No big deal. Onto the set itself - pictures really do no do the Green Grocer justice. As with the other modular buildings, these things look simply amazing in person. I had thoroughly studied each of the reviews for this set at one point, but luckily there will still many surprises while building this myself. Something that I had never noticed all this time is that there is actually plastic windows in front of the curtains on the second floor. In seeing that woman in the blue overalls standing out on the little balcony in pictures, I always assumed that area in front of the curtains was open. Many of the others details are very nice, and I found myself much more impressed with the fire escape as it really is quite nifty seeing it in person. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the Green Grocer. I got mine today and it looks great but I wonder how many polybags with bricks it should have? Because mine does not have the same number of polybags as said in this review. Is it different depending when the set was made and bought? My set came in a slightly different box, it did not have the cardboard tray inside. Otherwise, it still had the same amount of polybags as dunamis listed. A heads up - he has listed the total amount of numbered bags + the smaller bags found within some of the larger ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ironjaw Posted July 15, 2010 After reading this thread I went ahead after a lot of hesitation for days and bought GC from S@H Denmark. Now I am a happy camper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wooootles Posted October 24, 2010 I saw copies of this baby in San Mateo CA 2 weeks ago. Other than that, this is also around the same time last year when Cafe Corner started to do the disappearing trick as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tiammath Posted November 12, 2010 Still available at S@H for shipping to France. Maybe I'll get one more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper Joppe Geers Posted November 12, 2010 Just my two cents, but... Although GG is probably the most addictive set to get and to build, once you're done you most likely put it away and start looking for a neighbour one way or the other. And that is where it begins. Just like Grogall said, before you realise it, you are hooked on! Tweaking a set, start creating one from your own imagination... If you don't buy it, you would be safe... ...probably. Cheers! JJ.
