LEGO News Press Modular Building from Police Station

[@097847t]

IMO the majority of people that watch your videos love what you’re doing and don’t end up leaving a comment saying otherwise! Hopefully you can keep that in mind and don’t let the few people that disagree with a build get you down :). Keep up the amazing work Bricksie!

[@josephharrison5639]

Agreed you’re doing awesome Jordan

[@VaughnLower]

I understand the stress he faces, but we are here to follow Jordan’s vision. We may offer advice, or see something that we think could be made better, but at the end of the day we enjoy whatever he decides to do. What we truly enjoy most, even if all viewers don’t recognize it, is Jordan’s work ethic, humbleness and leadership on how to be a good family man. KZbinrs are often the anti-celebrity. Just normal people, sharing the talents that make them unique and special.

[@ryleyw3684]

​@@VaughnLowerthat's one thing I like about him, humble and down to earth etc, there is a lady lego youtuber I can't exactly remember her channel name but she also has a city, I can not stand her, it always seems like she's almost bragging in a way of oh look at this big haul, and other things kinda in a entitled way. I don't know it may be just me but what I know is Jordan and one of the only lego youtubers I watch other then occasionally some others.

[@ThecrackedBrick93]

Agreed totally

[@marcohaspolos]

Agreed! Definitely, agreed!

[@willowweedsYT]

This is the first time you’re experimenting with these buildings, of course other people might have done it differently, but that’s the whole point, this is your artistic process and about you learning what you like the look of. I think it’s inspiring that you enjoy what you’ve made.

[@brittlebloo]

I follow a lot of Lego City KZbinrs, and what I notice most is the “sameness” of all the cities - official Lego city modulars tiled together with similar looking roads. You could take a close up picture of most Lego cities and you would have trouble telling which city belongs to whom. Customizing the modulars is a great first step to making your city stand out from most of the other Lego city channels. Keep up the great work.

[@GodIsGoodArmadeus]

Absolutely!

[@richards2936]

You know what? I thought the result of this expanded police station was a bit flat across the front when you first showed it complete. It felt a bit lifeless. But then you placed it in the city and it totally works. I think one of your more subtle talents is the ability to imagine what the model will look like in context, rather than just what it looks like when you build it on your desk. I also think your attitude towards the negativity is spot on. Keep up the great work and thank you for the always entertaining videos!

[@LukeMaps]

As a plus, the un-recessed Doughnut Shop and City Press add even more square studdage than otherwise. With most lots being filled in Brickmonton, every stud is highly valued. Though the City Press guy COULD maximize his use of the second floor, LOL.

[@jimyvanloock3510]

I'm sad to hear that people don't like what you're doing, I personally really like how you're making these builds specially yours! Can't wait to see the next project!

[@StarryNite85]

I love watching and listening to you talk about Legos and the passion you have for Legos. Your creativity shines through in these builds. Well done!

[@lavedapeterlin3252]

I love your reimagined Police Station, It's your city and you have to enjoy what you do. I enjoy taking a concept and adding my own spin on it as well. I love your content. I think a newspaper stand, or at least a newspaper box where people could grab a paper with their coffee would be great.

[@Chickenwings126]

You and Simon have done an amazing job in this city, no matter what people say keep going, keep doing what you do and your builds are amazing, make sure you and your family keeps healthy.

[@Senne_Vg]

I really like your plans for making your entire city custom buildings and this is a great step towards it! I've had many city layouts but one thing I recommend is choosing 1-2 building styles. It makes everything fit together as 1 whole piece and makes it look even better

[@kirstymorley1665]

Loving the City Press! I swear I've been in virtually identical, messy stockrooms in my time. Jordan, your videos bring me joy. Thank you for sharing your lego journey with the world

[@JJ_Johnson24]

I am stunned with how good they look

[@GavinByrneLand]

Same here, they each look worthy of being official sets. Bricksie and Simon have created three fantastic structures.

[@lkibbler]

My wife and I think what you did with these buildings looks great. We don’t understand why people who would build theirs differently feel the need to tell you to change yours. We think that the negative feedback people aren’t even building LEGO and are just internet trolls who should be ignored by you. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing it with us! And also your doubled botanical garden came out totally awesome!

[@eclecticdom]

Your City Press looks great! I love all the stories inside on each layer.

[@ThatStukaGuy]

These custom buildings look absolutely great! Also I think that maybe adding some small alleyways between those buildings would add depth and add a bit mysteriousness to the city. Keep up the great work!

[@bricksbyjack]

Glad you're enjoying your builds, that's the number 1 thing with Lego! Really enjoy the way the City Press has been built, word play in lego baffles me at times!

[@DaleWesley]

First, these buildings turned out amazing! You’ve truly made the modular buildings a unique build all your own. Also, I love that you give Simon credit for his work. It would be so easy to never mention him, or his designs, but you give him his credit and really showcase his work when it goes above and beyond.

[@lucasbeeney6494]

I don’t know what these people are complaining about? You’re doing a great job been watching for years now! Great entertainment and great builds. I always look forward for new videos everyday! I also love the vlog videos about your life and building those are awesome!

[@VivienStreitJump]

I would love to see this custom police station increased by one or two floors. I think this would add a nice effect to the square by breaking the city roof top profile. 😊👍

[@nwestra]

I’ve been wanting to do something similar with the police station to make hospital modular seeing that Lego still hasn’t made one. This will give me a lot more motivation as to how well it can turn out.

[@NolanCorboy]

I love the look of all the buildings. I think it would be super cool to add 2 more floors to the police station and I also think it would be cool to add a bed and toilet in the roof of the city press to make it his own house like the donut shop. Keep up the great work and I’m super excited to see double jazz club

[@stewiegriffin4]

Ever since I started watching your videos about a year ago, you’ve given me so many ideas for my own lego city. The 10270 Police Station is one of my all time favorite modular buildings, so I’ve loved all these videos over the past couple of days

[@freddiepritchard6533]

Bricksie dont let the haters hate they don’t matter I look up to you as a younger builder with a custom city and that would be my dream to build something like that it looks soo good! I think that building looks sweet and definitely you should keep in your Lego city as it is stunning with the snot details. You can never do so think for everyone but it is what makes you feel good and if you like good on you it’s your city and I love watching your vids they make me laugh even in though times like now how my dad is in the hospital as he almost passed away and don’t let the haters hate!

[@beetlejace2917]

I love what you have done with the police station and the 2 other buildings. I love the 16x32 baseplate buildings. A great example of what people like me can build in a limited space. 🙂

[@hazbinhotel5488]

Do NOT give into that negativity. You are building MOC's with existing pieces! you are dealing with design limits that people often forget about. I personally LOVE LOVE LOVE the enlarged police station. My only critique of the donut shop is the color...well that's how it came and you did a great job with the actual design so there! I'm a fan of these builds and like honestly...if you look at the way cities are built...most buildings...maximize available floor space....your designing in such a way that is closer to reality. when you show the buildings in context of you city...your city DOES LOOK MORE realistic...more true to life. It just does. So great job. keep this up.

[@mattgaskill7720]

I absolutely love how this city press looks, as a suggestion for the next modular building to expand I say try the downtown diner I’ve always wanted to add a fourth floor on that and I think it would look really good

[@ChromeVader]

Just dropping down to the comment section to leave a note that I think your customizations to the modulars are fantastic, add to the commanding feel of the fronts, and boost the detail. I like when builders branch out into their own designs a little and don't marry themselves to sets' instruction books. Also, awesome Lego room overall!

[@thomascline6162]

I like what you've been doing. It's always a neat thing to see how you build your buildings. Keep up the good work.

[@rickweijers500]

Well done Jordan. I think it looks great. When the buildings get to tall, you cant see beyond them. I personally like the view of the current layout ❤

[@Nphen]

Love the look of these 3 buildings together. Having the last building set back 2 studs is a great compromise. The buildings are also 3 different heights. Not a huge difference but still there. The blue slopes on the back roof look like covered-up windows. Actually a great realistic detail! Excited to hear you have 3.5 baseplate ready to redevelop. Get it all opened up at once and rebalance the city, leaving yourself space, maybe for a taller tower. Or a row of buildings with 2, 3, 4, 5 story, some set back different depths.

[@moche5788]

I litteraly can't think of one reason why someone wouldn't like this. I mean the police station looks just amazing! I think that especially making the police station bigger was a great choice because I think expanding it really made it look like a police station. Looking at them in real life their fairly big and the exterior of the bakery is fantastic. And now with the new City Press, I think that this is just such a great project and I really hope to see more videos like this in the future!

[@warrennewman5325]

modulars doing awesome job Jordan

[@lukebelton8027]

Lego is about building creativity and imagination. Your smashing all of those criteria. Keep doing you! I'd love a police station like that!

[@MMM-js3ir]

Being excited about using your ‘own’ creativity is fantastic. It’s your city, your imagination that’s the beauty of LEGO. Building by the numbers is fun and challenging at times, but taking it to the next level is the natural progression of self expression! Great look and uniquely special! Be safe and well.

[@seanoates6789]

Absolutely love the stock room and office space and some of the offset angles of the boxes adds great realism! Keep up the awesome work!

[@hazbinhotel5488]

I LOVE the new direction your city is going in. Yes there is ALOT to be said when you are the only person in the world to have the LEGO MOC model that you do. I'm doing a Ninjago city that is totally it's own thing...and it's epic looking! I know that feeling of coming up with something great. Preserving the modular buildings and then doing MOC's for the main city is the ultimate way to go. Kudos, Congratulations, and I know its going to be an epic experience. Falling in love with your own designs is soooo rewarding...all the love you will get from these makes this whole thing sooo worth it. I cannot praise this move of yours enough. I'm really looking forward to your future videos and where you end up taking this.

[@tyleranderson4852]

Hey Jordan!! As you we’re talking about the outright negative comments, all I could think about was how much i was enjoying you growing and becoming more comfortable with your own designs , and how it really shows in these most recent ones! They look great to me! And then you mentioned that you really want to get into fully designing buildings yourself, and it all made sense! You are definitely on the right track with this! I have thought for a long time now that you really underestimate how creative you are! Keep doing your thing and keep that positive energy and smile!! There are far more people who watch, and love this channel , and who never comment than you know!! We support you ! Have a great day!!

[@amandaponvia8170]

I’m really enjoying the revamp of the modulars Jordan! I like that the buildings are still recognizable from the original, but also have your creative spin. And one of the joys of Lego is that you can always rebuild it and make adjustments. Keep up the great content!

[@brickbro1993]

I absolutely love what you've done for this build! And I completely disagree with those who say they "hate it" or "dislike it". I think it's an amazing build and glad you got to express your creativity!

[@just_the_goods8116]

This is an excellent example of what Lego is supposed to be all about. It’s taking an original set and parts and creating something of your own. This build is incredible and will likely inspire so many others to build their own creations. Lego sets are cool, only made better by individuals and groups that ad their own ideas. Keep up the creative ideas !

[@joydavis538]

Your creativity is beyond compare. People who don’t appreciate that should watch what they want to watch, not demote what you’re doing. I WISH I could create like you, I’m older and trying new hobbies. Keep motivating me!

[@MarcdOnPointCrafts]

Can we take a moment to see the amazing improvement this man has made to these 3 buildings and learning all the way🎉🎉❤

[@matthewkangas1388]

I love what your doing with the Modular’s they look so cool! Don’t listen to people just do what makes you happy.

[@landonhopkins293]

I love the way they look, and you always find a way to surprise me with your skill in every video. Don't listen to the people trying to bring you down. Only listen to those trying to bring you up.

[@velocityindustries]

You should add 1 or 2 more floors to the police station to make it stand out between the other 2 buildings more like it was in the original set. I think the doibled buildings look great, keep up the awesome work!

[@thattshawkeyeguy3343]

Awesome bro- it's your city, your vision, don't let anyone bring you down! I really enjoy when you customize the buildings. What is your plan with the little newspaper stands? I think they would look cool in different parts of the city.

[@astopmotionlife7025]

I personally would love for you to do these double ups with every modular exactly the way you did it with these!!

[@magnumdagreat]

I really love the look of all the finished buildings, it looks amazing with the different heights that gives it all a bit more flavour you could say

[@kizzafreak]

I really like the addition of the City Press. I'm really inspired now to do my own Police Station modifications, keep up the creative work!

[@jamesthompson3168]

Amazing work!! Looks fantastic!! I saw a comment a couple of videos ago that suggested a helipad and bat signal on the roof of the police station, I think these would be the finishing touches!! My final thought is that another floor for the police station with locker room, two way mirror interrogation rooms etc. would complete it and give it some more height. Keep it up the great work and stay positive!!

[@hjalmarravandoni-my7iq]

Have you thought about super-sizing town hall and making it a double-corner-building. I think that would look epic if those custom corner-buildings would be a big town hall instead.

[@shannona5191]

Hi Jordan! I just wanted to tell you that my boyfriend got me into legos and your channel. We watch you all the time and always look forward to your videos. Your creativity, enthusiasm, and genuine love of building is what we love and I hope this comment drowns out any negative comment someone may put under your video. You bring a lot of joy and happiness to a lot of people, so keep doing what you love and never stop experimenting and having fun with legos! :) great job on expanding the police station and the city press is beautiful!

[@GlowingTrashPanda99]

Jordan, I really Iike what you and Simon did. It looks a little flat, but not bad at all, and a lot of city blocks do have the fronts of the stores lined up so that the sidewalk width stays consistent. Don't listen to the naysayers. These look awesome and are unique to your city which makes them even better. I agree with you that the small side buildings seen with the current modulars are often just too small to really make much sense or have proper detailing. These buildings look much more appropriate in size, allow more storytelling, and use LEGO for it's intended purpose of getting creative with them. Keep up the good work.

[@cadian127th]

The buildings look great, you listen to comments and modify to what you think works for your city. I'm sure your MOCs will inspire others and your city is always evolving. Some people don't like change and sometimes it takes a project to be completed before it all looks correct.

[@johnhull1527]

Love these buildings. LEGO is all about taking apart and making things your own. I wish I had the creative mind to do things like this with some of the sets I own. You are appreciated and I feel like people feel comfortable criticizing you because they know you really do care. Keep up the great work.

[@alfredbakker1973]

Loving the way you build your own creations, it's your idea of building a better moc and i'm loving it, keep up the good work

[@kthanna08]

I was doing my dishes while watching and had to do a double take when you said people hated the donut shop. What?! I guess I could agree that insetting the smaller buildings would look more interesting, but in most real life city blocks, that isn’t the case, so it’s definitely not necessary. And yeah, you could build some buildings upward, but does that make sense for any of these 3? I don’t think so. I’m flabbergasted by that feedback. AND, as someone who has experimented with using sets to build MOCs a couple of times, you’re doing the advanced version of what I do. (Like, you’re doing the high school version and I do the first grade version, lol.) So I’m just left wondering if these critics have ever tried doing anything like this. I would guess no. So, to sum it all up, don’t let those people get to you.

[@TheLuckestloser]

I think it would look really good if you had your city hall as wide as your block and have the police station attached behind on one side and the fire station behind on the other side so it’s all connected but separate from each other?

[@JoeWarner-f4e]

I watch you every morning and I love what you're doing. To take original models and make them your own and learning different building techniques is the best. I'm 47yrs old and have both a city and also I'm into custom building technic sets. Great job on both what and how you're doing things your way forget the "haters" they are just jealous.

[@mikadona5725]

Jordan ignore the hate it’s hard but those people saying that are so jealous that you can make this and they can’t it’s just jealousy. These are great customs and I hope you don’t stop doing this because I relay like watching these kind of videos! Keep up the good work you are rhe best Lego KZbinr!!!!

[@jackdahlgren2001]

Hey bricksie I think you should move the 16 x 32 Modular’s beside the city hall and make corners for the city hall so it bigger

[@zoeys3346]

They look fantastic. It looks like a legit downtown city block. I love the tiny details, down to the varying roofline heights. Well done!

[@joydavis538]

I’m watching your blog right now. Stop second guessing yourself, you are amazing! Anybody can put together the LEGO pieces, but you make them a community for LEGO people, and you give ideas for people like me. Thank you!

[@ericadukes8678]

This is your city! You are doing a great job and inspiring many people to build Legos.

[@Luuka988]

Ignore the haters man, just do what makes you happy and what's fun FOR YOU. I think you're doing a great job and I can't wait to see even more custom stuff :)

[@jaredlipsitz5862]

Not liking something does not a hater make.

[@TransCinderella]

10:03 I’ve been watching you for a long time and as a former LEGO professional, I wanted to tell you how much I’m impressed by your work, particularly builds like this. When you get creative with expanding a modular, or do something custom, your skills and joy shine through. Keep it up!

[@wasiimd]

The buildings look cool, nice work Jordan. Simon smashed it with that sign. Haters gonna hate, forget those people who don’t understand LEGO is a unique experience for everyone! PS a bat signal would go perfect on the roof of the police station, just a suggestion

[@ArathixFilms]

Loving these rebuilds, even the mini modular conversions! I'm all for making sets you're own and learning techniques from sets is a great idea to progress as a builder, I'm all for it!

[@DaanWijnholds]

Realy beautiful buildings, they look so much better!

[@Carboxylated]

Simon really killed it on that sign work. Great snot assembly!

[@1974xela_bricks]

In my opinion this is what Lego is all about. Lego gives you a guideline/ design how it can be...but it's open to your imagination what you do with it, right. I would love to see more of your own modular creations. 👍👍👍

[@karlsteev]

I like what you did with these buildings! They look great! Keep up the awesomeness!

[@this_jedi_crafts6626]

I'm so sorry that you receive negative comments (vs truly constructive feedback). I'm not sure why people are so negative. It really serves no purpose. I am happy that I found your channel when I started getting into LEGO as an Adult. I think that the clip you played (with LEGO Master Jamie) said it all - LEGO is meant to inspire creativity. It's one of the things that I truly love about LEGO. You can put your own spin on someone else's engineering genius to suit your style. I recently purchased the Cozy House and didn't like certain color choices and then realized I can just order the parts to swap out the colors to match the vibe I was going for. LEGO makes this such a fun thing to do. Not to mention, I learn new building techniques along the way. Most KZbin LEGO content creators don't even share the techniques they employ for the building process. You are one of the few who does so I applaud (and eagerly learn from) your videos. Keep up the positivity and providing inspiration. It's highly appreciated.

[@cas3157]

I'm totally sold on doubling every modular ! Nicely done for the ones already been taking care of. But a double corner city hall will be so much fun to see I can't wait!🚀

[@euanglenn5902]

I often find that Lego cities can look odd when made up of only stock modular buildings as they look underscaled. By doing this you are adding so much more credibility and scale so keep on going

[@TheArtesianWells]

Bricksie you’re freaking crushing it buddy! I love the direction you’re taking the city and watching your creativity grow!

[@josiahphilip937]

I love the creativity you are putting into your city! Makes me want to pick up duplicates of the modular buildings to have some fun with them.

[@shapeofsoup]

I absolutely love what you’re doing. Like I’m living vicariously through you here lol Anytime I suggest stuff it’s in the context of your vision, what you are creating. I mean that’s why we’re here following you in the first place. Makes no sense to be a hater yet continue to stick around and be a nuisance to those of us who are actually enjoying what you do. Go do it differently if that’s how you feel. No one is stopping you.

[@lukegadomski]

Depth really does make a difference in the before and after shots

[@Bricksie]

Reducing depth by 4-6 studs significantly affects what you can do with the interior, especially when you need a staircase.

[@LukasHannover1988]

You've basically given them a new life,@@Bricksie. I love all your Lego City projects.

[@DragoTKK]

Very good job, that s my first comment here, but i find it WAY more interesting when you custom the sets you bought like this ;) your city is amazing ! and i really liked your long diorama with castles and i am in hurry to see you doing underwater landscapes under the beach , would be wonderful !

[@BirdBathBricks]

Hey bricksie don’t let the haters get to you I’m a huge fan of this police station upgrade, one thing i would have to say is that I believe the police station seems to long but still the side buildings look epic!

[@jaysawnels]

Can you please add a Batman Bat-signal to the top of your police station? I think it would be super fun!

[@crystalcrab3539]

I love how these new buildings look! I loved the idea in your last video which was adding a few floors to the police station building. I think it could look cool to have that height variation next to the daily press to call back to that original design. If not, there’s still a lot of great stuff going for the design you have and I’m excited to see more!

[@robincarey6341]

I love the way you're expanding your modulars, I've always thought they look too small. I know that's probably done by lego to keep costs down (for them) and knowing that not everyone has the space or time to build a whole city. Keep sharing your ideas, anyone who gives you a snarky comment would probably tell you they are a "purist" when in fact they're green jealous of your creative genius

[@fredohl6239]

I normally don’t leave a comment and I DO enjoy your content. I see this as your vision, ideas, possibilities, and you do you! Thanks for sharing your Lego world with us. Keep it up

[@franciscoalvesporto9570]

I fully agree that building the oficial LEGO modular buildings helps you get better at doing your own MOC’s. Just the understanding of some construction details is essential.

[@karlwadesauer9246]

I like what you produce. You may do things in ways differently then I would, but that's part of the beauty of Lego. You mentioned that maybe you could have included the news stand, but I don't think that's needed for that building. You could use the collectible minifigure of the newsie kid out front with a stack of papers next to the door, hawking papers to people.

[@FelipeVinhao]

I actually didn't read many of previous comments so I'm not aware of the negative feedback. Yes, there are different opinions, but Lego is there exactly because we can rebuild anything on our on taste, so those who don't agree can build something different. One thing for sure. For me, you fixed one of the things bug me the most on some official modulars: that need to look more than one narrow building when it's actually one single building, like the Detective Office was, and like the Jazz Club is too. For me, they could omit the sand green area, and incorporate the cell and mugshot area into the tan area, and double the donut shop area like you did.

[@A-Parently_Gaming]

I love seeing your process with making these customized modulars, encourages me to take some of my sets I've gotten with my wife and try to make them our own. Our daughter recently broke our re-brickable book nook made from two noodle shop sets and i haven't had the time to rebuild it, maybe I'll make it modular instead to have with our jazz club. Keep up the good work!

[@ChrisScrivener-q5x]

Great work doubling the buildings. I remember in an older video you said you would like to add some height which makes me think you could possibly double the construction site but go upwards rather than outwards

[@lordcolley]

End of the day, it's YOUR lego city. You do what you want it to be and it is an incredible. The people that hate on it are just jealous they don't have your creativity and vision of how you want your city.

[@kodanugg]

i love it. the police station is my favorite modular and i think you were able to keep the story and expand on it.

[@kellbell8866]

I absolutely love them!! I like the colors and they seem a lot more realistic now because they are a usable size for people to use and live in.

[@Metalhead092]

I think they look great. I recently built my own modular out of the City Grocery store from last year, the Fab 5 set and my inventory. It's a great experiance. One critique or note, the Bakery building feels like its missing just a small detail at the left and right on the roof. There's that element in the middle that adds height, but the left and right feel like they need something as well. Maybe another small curve with an egg at each side? I know the original had a small detail as well at each end.

[@iannemetzg]

Looks great! I think adding a floor to the police station would improve the skyline of the three buildings

[@banditobandito7465]

I think can be good if you move the bench in front the donnuts shop and put I NEWSSTAND infront the press

[@dinibo]

I think there should be a couple of stands around the city. Got to get those papers out to the masses!

[@JuliaBuilds]

You're doing a great job with the modifications of the modulars. Keep up the great work! I think they look amazing :)

[@LeeHoffman-vt6rz]

Screw the haters... anyone pulling you down is already below you. The city is looking great and your creativity is great to watch!

[@Highlandstudios24]

Loving the fact that the press building is now taller than the police station! It’s awesome to see these Modular’s being supersized. Are you planning on supersizing other Modular’s like these ones? If so I would love to see the fire station being enlarged

[@davidplaysgames1057]

I really like how the new city press looks! I do think it is kinda valid that there could be a bit more depth but it still looks really nice. Good job Bricksie. 👍

[@prateek523]

Would be cool to add angled windows on the back of the roof where you ran out of black slopes and open the floor into the 2nd level
