So I’ll be MODding mine into a library. Making it fill up a 32x32 baseplate and deleting the 2 side buildings. That's what I was thinking. Specially with the simple tile reading 'Police.' Just remove that tile and it could easily be a small court house or another library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1974 Posted November 27, 2020 I particularly dislike the inverted jumpers on the facade. Would have looked a ton better with the old style jumpers! Heck even 1x2 plates would have looked better .. It's grand, but it has no finesse. No railing on that very important staircase? No prints on the 1x1 tiles on that board with the red rubberband? Heck, there are current 1x1 tiles with print that could be used. Wheres' the cool furniture? I'm always expecting TLG to up the ante on these sets, even the last one had cool things going on, allthough it wasn't universally liked (and same thing with the Corner Garage), but this one? Nothing cool going on as far as I can see? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, 1974 said: This has to be the worst italian restaurant ever! But it's a nice police HQ. Good idea with the side buildings However, I'm not seeing any cool building details nor any nice interior furniture. Nothing that surpasses the PC and that was quite a number of years ago The columns at the front are just too easy, give us something better, please. TLG have done it before It does look nice, but there's nothing extraordinary about it. it's rather bland ... Some neat building details that caught my eye include: The cornices along the roofline, which use the new inverted arch together with unprinted Minecraft wolf heads, of all things! The quoins along the left and right sides of the station's facade The 1.5 x 1.5 corner arches forming the capital of each column, with offset plates/tiles joining them together over top of each window The wooden support beam underneath the window air conditioner. This one took some time for me to figure out how it was even attached! The entirely SNOTted staircase construction with triangular tiles along the inside edge The corrugated steel rooftop water tank The SNOTted window trim around the apartment's front window The scalloped edge of the donut shop's awning The stacks of gear plates as decorative shrubs The crawling ivy that wraps around the police station's front left corner. As far as interiors are concerned, there's still quite a bit that the official pics don't show from great angles, such as: The record player in the thief's apartment The water cooler in the police station lobby The crawl space below the police station The third-floor interrogation room and bathroom Any and all features inside the Sand Green building's attic, since it's pretty spacious and has a door that opens into the police station. Maybe a utility closet or evidence lockup? EDIT: An evidence locker is mentioned in the set description, so that might be exactly what that room is. All of these details are currently only visible as glimpses through the upstairs windows or from a top-down perspective in some of the lifestyle photographs. I suspect we might not get a clearer look at them until a designer video and/or reviews of the set show up online.

Hippocampe Posted November 28, 2020 Again and again ! Even though a police station wasn’t on my top priority subject for a modular, I think this one will have a spot in my city display ! It will make a complementary addition to TH and FB as another public service. I love the classic architecture and enjoy the choice of colors. Also, the publicity board is a nice reminder of a former modular. I wish that this idea - of a publicity board- will be repeated: it could be then integrated in a future modular wall, like a painted mural at the beginning of the previous century, before all the neons signs or even a beautiful graffiti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegoDW Posted November 28, 2020 After looking at the reveal picture's, this looks like a nice set. For me, not interested in a a police station, but this set so well done feel very easy to convert the main building into whatever! if I keep it a police station, will need some parking near by for vehicles.

BrickFit26 Posted November 28, 2020 Like some, I don't care for that bathroom. One thing I did notice was that there is no space for cooking the donuts in the Donut shop, its a bummer, unless its somewhere else that we haven't seen yet. Or its probably just a donut shop that gets it donuts delivered to them like gas stations. 1 hour ago, Boettner Builds said: They way it’s built it could be many different things!

Even though I’m disappointed with it as a police station it’s going to be GREAT as something else! Agree! When I know that's police station, I definitely hate it! That's no way especially I have 3 police stations (one demolish, one of the change to office), more than 80 policemen, 10+ police motorbikes, 10+ police vehicles, 4+ police helicopters.... This building end up like this... At least we can change it to library/court house/office/town hall so easily... At least better than the fire station.... (Which is the only modular I have not bought in my town ) This is not my favorites at all, but I could consider to buy it if that's some big discount later on in 2021 or 2022 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted November 28, 2020 I'm impressed and a must buy if one has the bank already. The police station is a step up from the bookshop for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't see it in the Lego Shop at Home in your part of the world, try searching the set number. I just want to make sure. Because the box doesn't look like that of the past modular buildings...

Foxes Productionz Posted November 28, 2020 I dunno if anyone else has already pointed this out but there looks to be another set of stairs leading to somewhere on the first floor. Could be a small basement or something... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaalTheBuilder Posted November 28, 2020 When I saw the newspaper stand, then the printed typewriter and the pin board, I realized...this building would make a perfect newspaper headquarters! Great ideas on turning it into a school, museum, or library. For me, I will moc this modular to become the home of the “Daily Brick”! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
