[@tanialarik79]

[@stefastefa6018]

+JANGBRiCKS Wow that's a lot of time it only shows how much time you put into your channel keep up the good work

[@caleb.l784]

omg 15 hours wow I feel bad 4 u

[@nachocheese8367]

hey jang 15 hours of awesome :)

[@arsenaldailytransfernews]

I like that new arrow build Jang

[@masterofcuttlefish9334]

+Ben Daly I agree! Such a small, but great component. Plus, I had to laugh when I first saw it. Totally unexpected.

[@zachwilcox5614]

Me too

[@Ark-tv2dg]

i laughed when it first popped in as well. Wel done, Jang!

[@spicylanko]

I take it most of you haven't seen his valentines day set review, I believe that's where it was first shown.

[@Ark-tv2dg]

I saw it but it was more prominently displayed here

[@shelby2905]

I’m only 12 and I’m building this but it has a missing piece and me and my family have been to busy to get the piece sadly still don’t have it. I build a lot of expert sets and they are really fun.

[@dbd07]

im only eleven and I enjoy building modulars a lot too

[@fcff7591]

On my first modular building one piece was missing, but luckily that piece was on the inside and is common. Though I haven’t put it on yet.

[@therealbricker]

There is a solution! You can try to contact Lego customer service. Or, if you have a huge Lego collection, you can try to find that piece there. I personally have a huge box of Lego sets taken apart. I recently used it to find a brick for Downtown Diner I got for christmas.

[@Dregern-jl2sq]

I built the cafe and I saw a missing peace but I think it was in the wall and I was too lazy so I just left it 😂😂

[@eruptingvolcanoproductions3172]

I’m 9 and enjoy them too

[@oh-totoro]

Jang, you do the BEST Lego reviews on KZbin. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into them, and how thorough you are in pointing out all of the small details. Thank you!

[@Eeeemomo]

The clear piece you use to point to things reminds me of one of those claw things old people use

[@최최장훈]

Jang, I love that you use a lego built arrow to point things out :)

[@PMURPH08005]

I'm digging the new pointer, Jang. Really clever parts use! I hope you continue using it in future reviews.

[@samhansen9771]

17:51 I actually really liked that outdoor grill space; it looks like a place I would love to hang out and read a book under the partial roof. To each his/her/it's/whatever's own I suppose. Keep up the good work Jang!

[@MetricCaboose1]

I really love that LEGO pointer you made. It's a small 'touch', but it's much better than actually pointing at things with your finger.

[@someguy7567]

I love that they included a lego layout in the apartment. So cool.

[@BejaeIngate]

0:26 Oh my gosh! I actually have tea right now. This is good, I like this

[@RyCitrus]

My favorite factor about product development (Lego products, videogames, etc) is when they incorporate easter-eggs and if they tie in nicely like this set did. So many awesome references to classic modulars, it's crazy and well done.

[@not_juice_man9867]

the red arrow you use to point at things is hilarious

[@natho_t9098]

I like how JANG you built that little arrow to explain everything in the set

[@Tirreger]

Great set (as I expected it to be) However, somehow my highlight was the red lego arrow you made to point things put xD

[@grizzly._.]

Pointing Arrow 2.0!! Cracked me up when it first popped into frame. Appreciate the thorough review, Jang, it was worth the wait!

[@mandyjessedemers4212]

The first modular bill that you showed on the shelf was the palace cinema

[@Jackarooo]

since the last lego set I bought was the Green Grocer set many years ago, I'm pretty amazed at how many new little pieces have been added recently! It seems like you can now fit so much more detail into such small spaces! (I'm also still impressed by the fact that these come with interiors at all lol)

[@prussianette]

I loved the Lego Fan apartment! I kept thinking, "Geez, if I keep spending all this money on Legos, that is how I am going to end up--in a Studio apartment with a bathroom so small, I wouldn't be able to bathe." :)

[@krishealey4294]

about the amount of bags - I fully agree and believe they should be looking at something new instead of using plastic bags

[@MG-hs6yg]

You missed a small detail in the flower shop! A bit of the back wall is meant to come off to allow you to get in a little bit better. Love the pointing stick you made.

[@farmerdanyt5216]

Wow love the pointer thingy Jangbricks

[@brickscientist4411]

Hey jang, I think the reason lego did the outdoor rooftop barbecue area because it is a reference to the one on the roof of the green grocer.

[@7H3541N7]

very much enjoyed both the review and build videos. The build video was one of my favourites of its type. Sing it all as it went together, I didn't see much need for a review (obviously seen it in more detail than a review would break down) but this video proved me very wrong. it didn't even feel like a 20 minute video. thank you for your excellent service to the construction brick community.

[@electronkaleidoscope5860]

I love how they use the classic heads for these, such a nice touch.

[@adoyaben]

That's a lot of references! A couple months ago it was modeling and showing off the sets not comparing them really! Awesome video as always!

[@mvenusaur01]

Director Krennic's job before he joined up the Empire. Jokes aside, this must be one of your best reviews ever. It did not even fell like 20min. Extremely detailed, and the tone you had spoke how much you love this set. Love that pointer you use on your recent sets.

[@maxkwasny4112]

That little red arrow was awesome to me for some reason

[@GA0907]

I think the bag issue has more to do with the parts off an automatized sorting line, not sure how lego pulls parts for individual sets, but I would assume it's not done by hand but rather automative batching. Plus more bags means less opportunity for parts to go missing, if one large bag is breached in shipping, all the parts in that bag would then leak out everywhere and would cause for more damage control. Individual bags offer more package protection , and keeping smaller parts compact, and easier to find.

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Nah it's a design decision. The Disney Castle has a similar part count & similar number of bags, but in that set they number them up to 11+. Death Star was similarly better-portioned with the part groups. I don't want the number of bags to change, I just want them to adjust the part-finding difficulty level by choosing to use more numbers.

[@GA0907]

JANGBRiCKS great review none the less, do you voiceover your reviews?

[@foogeeminipix]

If I re-bag a set I fill and label them according to the build sequence, i.e. if the numbering sequence in the book restarts I start a new bag. That way I can pick items out of sets, especially the Christmas ones. I do find the Lego packaging frustrating though as, like you, I don't want to have to open all the bags at once. It would be nice if they did a 'quick start bag' with ALL the parts to begin the build. Often we open bags(!) one then spend ages trying to find the unique one-stud part in the whole set that is needed to get past page one!

[@matthewportman4987]

Jang not one reviewer has noticed this yet but the floor in the florist is a direct reference to the launderette in the brick bank as it is the exact same pattern! Thanks for the awesome review your the only reviewer who takes time and points out different details I thank you for that. I am liking the new red arrow!

[@TBear-br7ht]

i like the addition of using that brick built pointer rather than a finger. Makes it a bit easier to see. Nice work as always.

[@urshurakdieohnekanal9291]

Building this set was a real pleasure!

[@jonathanqos7472]

I love the brick built red arrow you started using! I actually started to laugh when you first used it because it was so incredibly random, but all in all it's very practical and works well! Great review Jang! Will be getting this set myself in about a months time. (:

[@PatchworkAndCo]

I love that little brick-built red arrow you're using to point to things! :)

[@girf4233]

PatchworkAndCo it is more plate build

[@occasionalart7597]

No words ever spoken by any human can NOT describe how freakin' awesome and beautiful this set is.

[@muisverriet]

I love this set. It's by far the best modular and i think it's one of my personal favourite LEGO sets ever.

[@CringerKitty]

Yes! I have been waiting for this review - great job Jang! I don't have time to read all the comments, so it may have been mentioned - I thought the Thor hammers used for the middle building were a nice touch (although challenging to align properly). I agree with your assessment on the bag numbering and the roof patio (seems like a missed opportunity). One other detail I thought was weird was the way the back stairs were built (the bases look awkward). What's interesting about Assembly Square is that there are so many amazing details, and it was a fun set to put together. But overall, it's not my favorite modular. When you put it with the other buildings, it sort of "blends in", and doesn't stand out to me like the others. I'm also not sure how I feel about the middle building being pushed back so far, just to make room for the fountain. I would have almost preferred that Lego did 3 standalone buildings (similar to the Pet Shop), which would have made display options a lot more fun. Plus, "fuller" and more complete businesses (like Brick Bank) would have been nice. Anyway, it's a very good set, but not amazing imo.

[@wishihadsocks]

My favourite nod in this set is the white croissant they used in the bakery - I myself have spent so much time painstakingly clipping those onto my parisian restaurant!

[@erinmoore5964]

Really like the pointer usage. It's very helpful

[@matthewwang9677]

I've been anticipating this review for so long, and now it's finally out!!!

[@endymionisrafieldeios7362]

I like how your voice sounds very relaxing as you describe a set's characteristics.

[@masterofrecipe8092]

I like to think that the miniature lego city in the right building is resembling Jang's minecraft corner.

[@amiemallich3255]

I love this set, and would definitely get it if I could. So many great pieces and colors, as well as minifigures. Only thing is I wish the wedding cake came with one of each extra toppers, so you could have a "hers and hers" and "his and his". I'm sure it comes with enough extra studs to do that, but it's more of the thought. Excellent review of an excellent set! Keep up the good work, Jang!

[@242Evangelion]

I agree with you about the bad numbering of the Lego plastic bags. It's an expert build not a expert finding and sorting out all the bags. As always, love the videos and have my Assembly Square behind my ready to be built this weekend. :)

[@AaronSukalic]

I don't know if you noticed but THERE IS NO REFRENCES TO THE PALACE CINEMA

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Possibly the columns of textured bricks on the left building, but I'm not sure. There's probably something I missed.

[@AaronSukalic]

JANGBRiCKS na it's ok man but the left building shape looks like it

[@knappoguehouse]

Albapro Cinema oh yeah

[@knappoguehouse]

JANGBRiCKS how long did it take to build?

[@__melker6202]

Omg I love the red lego pointer!

[@MinuteExplained]

This video is my Superbowl equivalent. Thanks for the incredible work, Jang!

[@williambudiac5711]

You see the “ new” door pieces in 2018 and 2019!

[@biginlego9185]

Wow! This set looks even better on video than in the photos! The detail in the facades in truly gorgeous What's everyone's favorite room? We love the dentist 😁

[@linkalot7415]

I know a lot of people in the U.S are gonna be mad about this but what I'm happy about is that here in the UK this set retails £180 whereas in the Us it retails for $280 which if you change into pounds it's a LOT more expensive than it is here. I honestly don't know why this is, this really isn't the case with any other sets ive seen. P.s I feel your pain Americans.

[@sandyg1838]

Splatling * I'm in Ireland and ordered it from the Lego store in Belgium. It was 270 euro.. I must try looking up the London website

[@jonas2024]

in norway its like 170 if you change it from krone to pounds

[@Uh_Prolly]

I love that little red arrow! I'd love to see it more.

[@ZGBrickfilms]

This modular is great. It's really hard to believe it's been 10 years already. This might be tied with the detective office for my favorite modular.

[@MJDardas]

very nice review Jangbricks... I will add that for the flower shop, the back wall actually comes off, which is good for easier access to view and see the interior.

[@jamisonstagg3592]

Anyone else getting some serious Director Krennic vibes from the dentist?

[@swedishZ0mBi3]

Detailed review Jang! I just finished the build today and I really like it. It suprised me just how much bigger it is then the other modulars, which is something of a problem for some peoples cities I might think. I had to move some modulars to the side (2 in fact) to fit this one in. Looks really cool in the middle though but had to sacrifice some other nice sets because of it being extra big modular.

[@JamesMH]

The red arrow makes me very happy

[@SilverKnightCreations]

Love your red Lego Pointy arrow Jang :)

[@djgreasybiscuits757]

Notice there is a dentist office above a bakery

[@maxisswag9490]

Dj Greasy Biscuits after u eat sooo many sweets in the bakery you will go to the dentist to fix your teeth then go to the photography to see how beautiful your smile is

[@ADR69]

by far the most professional review you've ever done! So cool to see you take pride in the quality of the review. thanks very much.

[@TheLegoboss]

I really like the use of the red arrow, it looks nice and does'nt take up as much space as if you would point at every little detail with your fingers. I think you got more than 20 expert set references! Nice video you are my favorite lego youtuber! Keep up the good work Jang!

[@DreamPen]

Wow! A Jamie Hyneman LEGO minifigure!

[@pieterdiffenderfer5691]

The set is amazing, as is your review and the amount of time you put into it, but honestly my favourite part is that brick built red arrow pointer you made lol. Keep up the great work jang!

[@Max-nt5zs]

No palace cinema references! The best modular building (as we all know)

[@SouperPug]

sirbutteralotIII thatsthe worst one yet.

[@patchurj]

I really want this set for Christmas I cannot wait until Christmas 🎄

[@PrinceRakeem724]

This set made my binge watch the other modular series

[@hammody4229]

Amazing Set😉, I'm in LOVE with that LEGO fan's room! PS: Your Red pointer/arrow is Soooo useful!

[@norajiang3882]

Just saying being a very disorganized builder and always paranoid about losing pieces, I think that labeling the bags 4a, 4b, 4c and so on would be very nice

[@crazybrickstudios7482]

I like this because it’s the only one with an apartment or some sort of living quarters with everything neccecery to actually live there. (Bed, bathroom, cooking stuff, etc.)

[@matthewjones5644]

crazybrickstudios the new corner garage has the same

[@joshg198]

This is just a really complete and detailed set. Also, nice idea with the arrow.

[@brenster1000]

Hi. Just posted over at your Lego Death Star (2016) review. My wife picked up Assembly Square to build to put with her built Cinema set. She loved the detail of your review, with each revealed level of the model she squealed with delight. As with your Death Star review being instrumental in our buying that set, so this video was for her buying Assembly square. Appreciate the detail in your video and how well shot & lit they are. Passing on my wife's thanks here 😄

[@marsmanstudios3076]

Getting this tomorrow 😁 so excited

[@diabeticgrandma7]

Same I got it for Christmas it is nearly finished I started it 2 days ago because on Christmas day I built my other Lego technic!!!!

[@balinth11]

I laughed so much when i saw that pointing arrow. Well done. :D

[@ThisIsTeeKay]

The parrot apparently is a new mould, too, believe it or not. You'd probably never notice unless you were comparing it side-by-side with an older parrot

[@kharga9046]

Wait these sets are supposed to go together? And yet in the detectives office candy are prohibited but here there’s a cake shop? What!?

[@vitrosyuask4129]

Baked goods are not candy, it is technically allowed ;)

[@romulas-cushmanproject3273]

I love the new pointer thing you've built, I don't know if this is your first time using it in a video before, but it would be very useful for small areas

[@supersoles2042]

Very expensive set but it looks great from the exterior and interior and I like how they combined old sets into one. Over 12 hours of work isn't my favorite but for a great set like this, heck yes!

[@matthewalderson4999]

I don't know why but that pointer made me giggle

[@brushpicks11]

I only wanted the parisian restaurant and town hall, now lego has given me no choice but to start saving for this bad boy, best module set yet!

[@lukasfugner7778]

Jang i love your lego built pointer

[@moonnightbricks3948]

This is the best review of this set I've seen. Thanks.

[@Tjh2pointo]

That lego pointer you used was hilarious 😂

[@ULSWC]

Appreciate the hard work that went into the review! Though it felt a little bit rushed at times, particularly the covering of the coffee shop, I had to press pause on every shot to take in all the details.

[@lazerfly1304]

11:02 it has the I ❤️ hlc from the friends line that's cool

[@orangepeeI100]

This set is actually younger than I thought it was.

[@HerpinThaDerp]

that sofa bed is a nod to how the back seat in the VW camper bus is made

[@coolwill101]

The lampposts that were on the detectives office, brick bank, and all of the other modular sets were a cool sight to see on assembly square

[@maxb9335]

I know I’m twelve but I’m getting this soon and I’m so excited

[@artwithamythest9098]

Funk0PUNK I built the Parisian restaurant I got for Xmas and I’m 11 lol

[@eruptingvolcanoproductions3172]

I’m 9

[@PhillyThe13th]

Really wish I had the space to display modular buildings. I really like this set. Jang, just want to say that I love your video reviews. Very professional. They have always helped in my decisions on certain sets as well which is a very positive thing. My son will be 5 in April and has been getting into Lego over the past few months. We mostly have Lego City and Lego Batman Movie sets but he loves playing with them. I think I would like to get him the Lego City Police Station.

[@thelonebricker662]

I love your brick-built pointer!

[@ZacThaBarber]

Brick bank laundromat reference in the flower shop on the floor in regards to its tiling too

[@Tylan_the_gamer]

I’m glad someone else noticed that too

[@Nightswipe1]

Really nice modular. Probably my personal 2nd best. I believe my heart beats the most for parisian restaurant still.

[@BatteredToast]

red brick built arrow not included :D

[@beddy866]

I like how it keeps a lot of detail to the back

[@Thornspyre81]

I'm so excited! Mine is on the UPS truck and will be in my hands today!

[@LegoMiniFig24]

Love the arrow for pointing!

[@washguy9577]

i dump all bags out no numbers takes longer i love it

[@deinemuttermitkase6707]

the legend says that if you arrive on time jang says hello!

[@tazzy707]

Did actually pause it and make a cup of tea ☕️ loving the new pointy arrow!

[@legoicecubes1694]

I would hate living above a Dentist's Office. You would hear everyone screaming while getting root canals. * shiver *

[@Willrc57]

The floor of the flower shop is a similar design to the laundromat from the brick bank.
