LEGO 10190 Market Street

Product Information

In 2007, along with the first modular Café Corner, Market Street was released under the Lego Factory banner. As I mentioned recently upon completing the modular building Green Grocer, these things can get pretty addictive. The simplicity, the awkwardness, the beautiful blue color and the fact that was released on Modular first year make this probably as being my favorite one.

Certainly, by 2007 Eric had access to more specialty parts, and he did incorporate some of those here, but overall the build seems more nostalgic than cutting-edge, and that brings a smile to my face. They are their own independent collection that happens to use the same method of connecting the individual sets that make it up. Although I am sure I would have thought it to be a great set when it was released, I'm not so keen on it now, especially when comparing it with other modulars. The Factory theme was introduced in 2005 and was powered by LEGO Digital Designer (LDD), a free LEGO virtual building program for the computer.They do, however, help break up what would otherwise be large featureless blocks of colour which is why, I assume, the tan squares that look like they might once have been windows have been added at the back. think it succeeds at adding variety and interest to a modular street, with some modding and addition to the market which direly needs it I think it'll hold it's own against the more detailed modulars that have been released starting from the Parisian Restaurant. This premium, UK made display case for LEGO® Market Street (10190) is perfect for showcasing and protecting your modular building. I wish he could see how the series has evolved in the years since, and I'm sure he would have loved to continue designing new Modular Building MOCs using parts, colors, and techniques that were not available back when was entrusted with the privilege and responsibility of designing this set.

Coming up to date, last night I completed the new Boutique Hotel - a superb design and build experience although I am already looking to do a side extension. This modular has some unique history as it was the only Modular building marketed under the Factory Title, and designed by a LEGO fan and not a designer.However, there is market indication that the set will experience a slight annual growth decrease in the coming years, but this should be only by a few percentage points at most.
