How to Fix the LEGO Brick Bank (10251)

[@SmallBrickCity]

ATM Instructions and MORE are available at: smallbrickcity.com/product/lego-soda-machine/

[@rachela8421]

I love your imagination

[@thekrunkymonkey]

I visited this link, paid $AUD12 for the instructions, created a Bricklink account only to find out that the parts listed on the instructions for this build don't look ANYTHING like the ATM that you've shown here. Excuse me for saying so, but that is a fucking gross misrepresentation on your part. What the fuck!!!!

[@36CHOSENONE]

bro literally explained how he click baited me...

[@totalcreativegaming6681]

I’ve got this set, really nice. But tbh I originally thought it was a bit random to have a laundromat next to a bank but I recently realised that it’s got a joke behind it... money laundering. Quite a clever play on words

[@grandbriznick9448]

Great video. Hilarious that you call out your clickbait title too ;) You are fantastically talented. Your channel is so under-viewed it’s criminal!

[@jonsix1928]

agreed! cmon Lego community appreciate!

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks a lot!

[@SmallBrickCity]

@Grand Briznick, thanks a lot for your appreciation and support!

[@MsRedwiz]

I agree. I'm hooked. This channel has been incredibly helpful

[@Alverant]

I would turn the pane around so the vertical part is closer to the staircase so there's less of a gap, or use two panels and turn it into a fish tank.

[@Zabadak]

To place a ATM against one of the Windows is a clever idea. Funny that a lot of builders wanna do modifications but don't do it. But these are good and easy to do

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks a lot!

[@GrahamTriggsUK]

The ATMs are a cool addition, and really they should have been thought of in the original model (at least having one). I don't see that the internal modification to the stairs adds anything to the model though - it doesn't look particularly good, and we can use our imagination for this missing wall. Besides, "fixing" the wall rather glosses over the fact that the door below has a handle on the outside, and can't be locked. So if you are going to get that literal about minifigures using the stairs to gain access, they could just walk through the door anyway.

[@Gotham_Media]

Well it’s supposed to be a pre-credit card bank

[@DogeVenezian]

The ATM's are amazingly cool. I would love to make them for my bank.

[@christopherclack1712]

JC, Hope you make this a continuing series. I love your ideas of improving other sets. Thanks again!!!

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks a lot! I'll see if I have value to add to other sets!

[@jona4919]

Bro this guy is the best he shares like the exact same views as me

[@SiliconSicilian]

I really like the ATM’s as they match my home bank’s colour scheme. The other changes are also nice. Now, I just need to find a set at a reasonable price. I’d build a scratch MOC but the story of this modular is great and really ties in with the first modular I purchased, the Detective’s Office.

[@SmallBrickCity]

I agree with the storyline and how it ties up with the Detective's Office. Miss those types of builds!

[@josephchalabi]

You legit called out that you clickbaited me 😂😂

[@geobrix5496]

I think it will just make it harder to play with, it but it looks better and more complete

[@dustinzaccaria7644]

If I were to try and Aquire this set and the detectives office to form the basis of a city Street layout like you suggest in another of your videos, would I be better off trying to find complete sets or parting them out? I think they’d be fantastic alongside the mini modular sets you sell the plans for on Small Brick City website. I’ve got an idea to include them and a couple of other MOCs I found on Rebrickable. I want build the street up on two tiers, and have a retaining wall in front of the street and another street closedoff to traffic for pedestrians on the lower tier and and ad things like market stalls and short buildings that wouldn’t block the upper tier and then have a tram/light rail running down the centre. I’d add vehicles, minifigs, and details like flower beds, benches, bollards and all the things to bring a moc/layout to life. I’d probably do the pedestrian walk through street with uneven cobblestone like you did in your other vid. I’m going to use the cobblestone technique in my pirate and medieval MOCs and layouts too as it’s just such a genius technique. Sorry for the long winded comment where I go into minute detail. You’ve just got me excited. I love your channel. Thank you, take care and all the best.

[@noodlelicious.]

I always wondered whether I got the wrong bank because mine dont have ATM lol now I know. Thanks for sharing 🙏🕊️

[@iarmstrong5852]

I agree that a bank needs at least one ATM outside, however, I think that you've over complicated the stairs issue. To avoid making major layout changes, why not just put a handrail along the side of the stairs. This looks tidier than the large panel and is practical in universe too.

[@Ponk_80]

I think that the police people would become food critics, especially of pastries if there was nothing else for them to do.

[@dailydoseofsunshine2319]

The problem i have with this set is the play feature is so contrived and forced. I wish jamie built the set as normally and found a flaw criminals could exploit in spite of his design, not because of it

[@jamesdoble7580]

I removed the laundry mat and enlarged the Bank to take up the full plate. Then built the laundry mat on another smaller plate. With the Bank enlarged you can also fix that problem :)

[@SmallBrickCity]

That is a good mod too. But you can no longer launder money 😂

[@leopold7562]

Well, this is a first - a clickbait title which is called out in the video! Nice one! I like the idea of the ATM outside, as pretty much all banks seem to have these nowadays. I don't think I'll make any changes to the interior (aside from the lighting kit I bought recently), but the ATM will probably get put in at some point.

[@Brick-Life]

i put the atm from set 7279 next to the cheque station. and added a glass panel like JC did with security camera instead

[@imbatman9845]

wish this wasnt a corner.........

[@snoopy5435]

That was click bate when you said fix

[@josephd27]

The glass panel needs to be one stud closer to the stairs

[@SmallBrickCity]

I decided against moving it closer to make the panel flush with the door.

[@josephd27]

@@SmallBrickCity move the door too

[@zipperzee]

I prefer the bank more historical but they are neat additions.

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks a lot!

[@nanolego5518]

Your the life action emmet master builder get it 😉

[@SmallBrickCity]

You are very kind - thanks!

[@MiKe4KaTe]

what about using a curved window? that should wrap around and bring it up flush to the side of the stairs just a thought

[@SmallBrickCity]

That is a sound suggestion. Unfortunately, the curve actually makes the gap wider at one point, while being closer at another point. The bottom window frame would then have to be changed to curved as well, but doesn't solve the gap problem. Thanks for your thoughts.

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

I wish I had got this set

[@josepsole4369]

Hello, I bought the "fun-tastic machines" pack but the ATM is different from the one shown here. I would like to know if you can upgrade me to this model? I like it more in green and the design is better .. Thanks!

[@SmallBrickCity]

Hi, this is a different model. But, I can share it with you when I can. Due to the Covid-19 and travel restrictions, I am not in the country with my LEGO city. So, it has to be when I can go back without being quarantined. This will be as early as June or as late as July. Connect with me then to remind me please. Thanks.

[@josepsole4369]

@@SmallBrickCity OK thanks! I hope you are well. In my country the Covid-19 has left a lot of desolation ... but it seems to be starting to go away. Cheers!!

[@cristiantv84]

I loved the video

[@jonsix1928]

i cant find this anywhere for a reasonable price in Canada and its my favorite modular! i'll keep looking but i wish they didn't retire it so soon...

[@SmallBrickCity]

Yeah, I believe it was still around late last year in some shops. You may need to look for smaller toyshops who happen to keep old stock.

[@Brick-Life]

To make my bank safe im going to hire a sercurity officer to stand at the door of the bank

[@SmallBrickCity]

I have two!

[@robin2thek]

I like the outside. Smart! But I can just imagine that there is a wall inside. Nice niveo though! Keep up the good work!

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks a lot!

[@tayshonharris6430]

Great job JC I love how you added ATMs to it. Before you said that a minifigure could jump off the stairs to get to the vault I was actually thinking the same thing. Also it was smart to add a barrier so the can't get to the vault. I think that it improves this set. Great job 👍👏.

[@PM-oq8dg]

I think the bigger issue is the missing wall between the laundry and the bank. I just finished building this after it sitting in the wardrobe for years and was a bit disappointed at the missing wall behind the tellers. It's a weird choice.

[@mello2801]

Very nice idea with the atm outside. Also the mods inside.👍👍👍

[@josephinedelvo-dieabenteue2558]

The ATMs are an excellent idea! Funny that LEGO did not think of that. :-)) The transparent barrier is a good fix as well and the alarm underneath the overhang is excellent! Thumbs up! All the best from the Battledore :-)

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks a lot!

[@Brick-Life]

Since i got the LEGO Movie 2 CMF Emmet i can have him fixing the sign for the laundrymat with his coffe cup on the floor

[@SmallBrickCity]

Good idea!

[@liamoneill5319]

I think instead of a alarm u should do a camera

[@SmallBrickCity]

Yes, that is definitely a possibility.

[@Brick-Life]

Yes i put a camera under the glass panel and its pointing to the corner where my ATM is but can also see those who enter

[@DieKastens]

I really like the alarm for the vault. Nice modifications! I will show your video to my wife as she is the modular expert in our family! Thanks!

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks a lot!

[@Brick-Life]

Awesome i have this set boxed ready to be build soon. Im going to add an ATM in the lobby and make the yellow thing on the landury window line up and replace the typewriter letter piece wit ha newspaper maybe it has the currency exchange rates. Im also going to try make the wall between the 2 bussiness as high as i can with what i have

[@SmallBrickCity]

Sounds good!

[@tilewithgroove8324]

Ha! Just finished Assembly Square leaving Brick Bank my only remaining sealed Modular. (OT, but personally, I think the Downtown Diner is a better "corner" build, despite not being a real corner set, but then, I've not touched this one yet.) Watching this now is great timing, bc I have most of your improvement parts or something similar to consider before I hit BB.

[@SmallBrickCity]

Cool! Thanks!

[@Brick-Life]

Now it has one public where everyone can see the alarm as well as the ones under each counter

[@SmallBrickCity]

Yeah!

[@xindefinite]

I love your atm design I think I will make these modifications!

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks a lot!

[@jimmaury9161]

I was utterly shocked when both the bank and the detective office went out of print simultaneously luckily i both on black Friday._.RP

Glad you got them in the end!

[@caloutaro8532]

It's nice changes, now it's more logical when I see this bank :)

[@SmallBrickCity]

Cool! Thanks!

[@phvnz]

Excellent modification. I will look to doing this interior mod and perhaps one ATM to the exterior. I also noted the wall behind the tellers and between the bank and laundromat only comes up 3/4 of the way too, exposing access to the secure area from the laundromat. Am looking to do a glass panel addition to this wall too so that it is secure but retains the light flow.

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks! Yes, build up with glass panels is a good idea for light flow.

[@Brick-Life]

Im planing to use bricks to fill the way because its really 2 buildings but the bank bought the top floor of the brown one so i think it makes sense for the solid wall

[@Jusilau]

He admitted the clickbait title. I love it!! LOL

Nice

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thanks!

[@omnitheus5442]

Seems the long way for the bank itself. I'd just put a second door in...

[@jwenting]

A better fix would be to extend the wall the door is in so the stairs are only accessible after going through the door. In many banks visitors aren't allowed into the office area after all.

[@SmallBrickCity]

True. Although the stairs leads to the bank offices where people meet the managers for loans etc

[@Brick-Life]

I think the upstairs is meant to be the more bussnieness bit like conuslting or something while downstairs is to do transactions
