Looking forward to viewer thoughts about the impressive *2400+ piece LEGO set* that's in the video! Sorry about the blank screen at the end; obviously there's no need to watch it or focus on it! How about that *diner?!*

[@KK-ir9ge]

JANGBRiCKS When will the your next City Update come out?

[@MrPappymn]

I think this one is the best one even if the figures don't come with the classic smiley

[@YoshiNerd-oz9jq]

I like the way the inconsistency complements the age of the building. I suppose you could use these teal blocks for older styles. I dont know, i would hate to lpse the color again but im sure the advantages are there.

[@pancake7604]

Nice video I've been subscribed since since 30k on my old tablet now I'm on my new one. Keep up the videos.

[@Guido007official]

It looks so good i want that set

[@mikesvideos2.014]

You could stack the old flowers

[@droid4g32]

Great video! Looking forward to buying and placing in my Downtown area!

[@strawberrana]

Aren't the flower stems used by the old bride fig?

[@GreenIsGhastly]

I feel like the different shade makes the build look more natural like old paint almost

[@zachcheung8400]

I think they said in an interview that they switched the minifigure heads away from the classic smiley face because ten years ago the torso and leg prints were simple enough for classic smiley faces. Now in this year, torso and leg prints are more detailed and more complex that classic smiley faces just didn't match in terms of density of detail.

[@jorgnyoa3561]

Zach Cheung hate those faces it should still be smiley it is so weird whit a town full of smiley face guys and then suddenly bam weird face guys

[@lili-z4832]

Wow I was wondering that

[@gulorful8488]

Jørgen Karlsen Personally I hated the smileys. They were useless if you're making a Lego city.

[@inzane1495]

Thanks for the 50's music in the background!

[@MT-gn7jy]

I love this! I was told that the designer loved geometry and math and thats pretty clear here, the techniques are incredible and it works all so well!

[@two-face1041]

Games and Memes! Yep watch the LEGO interview they did with him....he loves angles...he’s the one all the other designers go to for help when designing a set with angles

[@badgerjoey]

He's brilliant, have watched a couple of presentations he's given on the development of this set. And love how he's broken the mold with a seamless external transition between 1st and second floors (2nd and 3rd for the Americans)

[@arsenaldailytransfernews]

I really appreciate how more recent LEGO sets are incoperating many building techniques that you would more associate with a MOC. It makes the official sets look more authentic and enjoyable to build for the fans! This set is a prime example!

[@ki-adimundi8695]

As a huge Elvis Presley fan this is a must get! The recording studio reminds me of Sun Studio’s and the inclusion of his pink Cadillac is just perfect!

[@9Pucci]

i love the 1960 style

[@Eric_____]

Elvis impression 10/10 😆

[@_Pikalika_]

There is so much unused space at the back! they could've at least add a dumpster build back there

[@fortis3686]

As a fan of the 50’s, I’m gonna enjoy this set.

[@ArchOfWinter]

I want to see some more different form of expert level modular buildings. Add some European, Latin America, and Asian urban buildings!

[@comradellama8128]

I really wish they stayed with the classic smile in these sets, I would love more of them.

[@hugenerd4041]

Idk seems like it should have been a corner build. Doesn't quite feel right having a wall jammed up against that open staircase :/

[@two-face1041]

Huge Nerd you can make a corner building if you want

[@cocopowdr2147]

Another great set by lego !!!!

[@nameless7838]

7:05 We have bacon, we have bacon!!! Now all we need is tiny handheld tacos & i'll be happy with all the food choices they've made. #WeWantLegoTacos

[@BardeauxWolf]

I was missing your red LEGO-arrow

[@noahstalcup155]

Agreed. #bringbacktheJANGpointer

[@user-nd9xu9td4m]

Lego designers are just amazing!! And they continue challenging themselves - respect!

[@XanderS2X]

I think the singer's outfit can strongly help to reproduce the Chuck Berry's band seen in Back to the Future !

[@skyborne80]

I'm a little hesitant to embrace the abandonment of the standard smiley face for the characters of the modular building series. However I guess it goes hand in hand with the era change in this latest modular, so I think it will grow on me. Ironically even though it's not by design, I think the fact that there are different shades of teal, serve realism in this case as dirt is always a factor in anything exposed to the elements continuously.

[@vladimirchervenkov6949]

I was rather upset when the Classic smiley heads did not appear in this set and thought it was a punch in the face by this designer to AFOL's

[@ArchOfWinter]

I like that car! Hope they'll release something similar independently for CITY.

[@themadladorian4364]

The hype is teal ! =D

[@TheMarxCat22]

Mesmerizing set I had no idea of such techniques for the windows. I thought LEGO said that not attached with studs assemblies were illegal Thanks for the video Jang!

[@coltnation6574]

That would be a great addition to your city display.

[@Dos_Caffeine]

I was blown away by how they created the spiral cast iron stairway. The set as a whole looks mesmerizing.

[@JohnDoe-zw6to]

I always love the huge modular set reviews, there's so much to cover and it feels so...fulfilling.

[@michelleuruski1545]

How does he make these look so good? *mine always have smudges and pieces of hair stuck between the bricks*

[@seanmiller6668]

When he calls ketchup seasoning... Good job really enjoyed it!!

[@isaacorwhatever4329]

HEY MCFLY

[@kostimyllymaa9527]

Exactly! :D

[@lividrodian787]

Why don't you make like a tree, and get out of here!

[@two-face1041]

Bobbicorn HELLO MCFLY?!?! ANYONE IN THERE?!?

[@samurai_z_fire]

The singer dude looks like Dareth from Ninjago

[@TheBrickLord]

Samurai-Z-Fire. I agree

[@LRamaekers]

Elvis is in the set with his cool car

[@Gamelonlevrai]

22:12 I spy an awesome Saitama minifig :D

[@thespy7740]

You used a bit of my name

[@gulorful8488]

Okay.

[@derfalschejunge]

"That dude's hair" is perfect to build a Dr. Gonzo!

[@wbtvwtbwtbwfbabta]

this is an amazing modular building its good looking,is a good size,has nice furniture and... it has bacon. definetly buying this

[@YoungFilmmakers]

What Lego doesn't tell you is that the recording studio is actually the control center to launch the missile on the roof. ;)

[@bringbacktheman8283]

i remember watching this and saying hmm, i dont realy like it, but look where we are now, i got this set for my birthday and its one of my favourites

[@Jacrispy52]

It's really good, all it need is two dog houses inside with two robotic dogs.

[@josephprice8485]

kingsman?

[@Coolhand24_]

And a meat grinder

[@1977chubs]

Just like kingsman the golden circle

[@heelkay]

haha kingsman

[@dennisfar]

I love the different teal tones, makes it look like an actual used worn building

[@aarondey4570]

same

[@JohnGrahamDoe]

could be nice for the set, but bad for when you order pieces for your own creations and they come in 3 different shades

[@straythorn0117]

i personally enjoy this set very much. I welcome the new style and era and even though it is sad to see the classic smiley go from this line I enjoy the new prints and faces. my only complaint about this set is the lack of a bin at the back of the diner, but even that isnt much of a big deal. over all a great set and i hope they make more sets in this era of building.

[@FortressSteve]

Perfect for my Dolorean ^^

[@northamericanauto43]

*Delorean. Plus, this is 50’s and works better with older Cadillacs, Chryslers, Fords, and other 50’s American cars. The Delorean came out in 1982.

[@lordwalrus900]

Back to the Future reference :p

[@PaladinHeart]

About the difference in shades of teal/turquoise bricks: You could always get 2 sets and fix the wrong colors. As for me personally, I actually like the difference in color and think it gives older buildings some added character. White bricks that have aged and become more of an off-white are actually pretty good too. You just have to know how to appreciate them. :)

[@inzane1495]

Next year there better be a 50's style bowling alley set!

[@chrisbramasco2021]

I like the teal discoloration on some of the bricks because it gives the building a real look or like a brick wall where not all the bricks are the same shade...

[@CheatcodeGamingOfficial]

I seem to get back to the future vibes from this set

[@skim_dilk5472]

Cheatcode Gaming hello, anybody home? Think mcfly think!

[@flo4real_]

Great set definitely gonna pick it up some time this year and I always swap out the classic smiley face for other faces so I don't care about them not using them

[@rodduncanproductions7407]

With this set, the LEGO design team nailed the Streamline Moderne architectural style of the 1930s and 1940s (e.g.: rounded edges, glass brick walls, porthole windows, etc.) and, at the same time, captured the look and feel of America in the 1950s (e.g.: jukebox, soda fountain, etc.)! Some of these buildings still stand today, and yes, unfortunately engulfed by other less sophisticated styles around them. Congratulations on another excellent review!

[@Kyezoar]

Wait, the Diner is called Jim's and it has a Gym above it.....

[@markuswolf7884]

You can tell this was a real labor of love for the designer. These types of sets are out of my price range, but I sure do appreciate and enjoy what Lego has done here.

[@felixjc2]

As i was watching this I kept feeling like I was remembering something and then I realised this whole build is like back to the future 1)The Diner 2) The many fight scenes represented by the boxing rings 3) The rock and roll studio representing the bit where Marty plays Johnny B Goode I don’t know just thought about it...

[@johnnations5932]

The slight variation in teal bricks is a plus here, Jang. Think of bricks in any city wall. They almost always have slight, or even major, differences in hue. The wall ends up looking more realistic. i have some slightly yellowed white bricks in my Lego town walls that look great among their shiny new white brothers.

[@just--facts]

yeah but then there dirty aren't they?

[@johnnations5932]

No, if you really look at brick or concrete, you can see variations in the color and grain from the time period and regions where the materials came from.

[@just--facts]

@@johnnations5932 sorry i think i prefer nice new white bricks.

[@olltraexponentialcommentor9169]

I was a little bit sceptical about buying this set, but now I definitly want it! Thanks for the review!😁

[@lenaoxton3999]

I'm a little mad the designers didn't use the classic plain smile for continuation's sake, but I'm not complaining about the choice of faces. If I wanted non-plain faces for this Modular Buildings set, they'd definitely be the ones they chose. Also, in retrospect, ten sets from the 1930s-40s seems like a good number to retire the era at, and I can't wait for the second 1950s-60s set if they decide to turn this into a pattern.

[@jakiecake1775]

I hope they'll do the next 10 as 50s-60s then 70s-80s and so on, until they reach the present day so if people get a few they can set it up like a timeline starting in the 20s and gradually getting to the present day.

[@harpreetgill4735]

My God this set is amazing

[@harvk5882]

Haha on a totally different topic. Love that Saitama and crabman moc minifigure!!

[@stevenmunson9162]

They should do lego sets through the decades, 20s,30s,40,ect. That would be awsome, sorry i love History

[@jeffreyc6660]

Steven Munson they should like a theater tap dancing set

[@JB_2317]

Honestly l like the slightly lighter shade of teal bricks being there. It gives the building character, like it’s been around for a while. Maybe it isn’t intentional, but l do like it

[@MatecaCorp]

I wish they had stayed with the modular set tradition of just the classic smiley faces. Other than that, this set ROCKS!

[@samuelharris6831]

I’m excited for this new “Art Decco” era of Architecture! Who’s with me?

[@jx592]

6 wide 2 passengers... Sign me up

[@Nina-gf1fv]

Lego keeps impressing me!

[@elithelgiver2397]

Best modular yet in my opinion

[@DarkGaming-xj9ly]

As someone who has a recording studio in my backyard, I appreciate the inclusion of a small one in this set

[@GemmaJRaine]

I love the style so much, all the curves and vibrant contrasting colours look amazing!!!

[@Pinkkermit17]

I love how detailed your videos are. I ordered this today from the Lego store, it will be my first modular, very much looking forward to putting it together !

[@PuzzleQodec]

Again a balanced, thoughtful and interesting review. I'm happy you keep finding the time and motivation to create these, thank you.

[@teun8915]

This one could be my favorite building of all time

[@tmyles9017]

Just found this channel. You do really great work here, Jang. The one man production level for these reviews is truly awesome and inspiring. As long as you keep making these, i'll watch 'em! Lego Love!

[@imrukiitoaoffire1908]

I'm so glad they have brought back Turquoise-Teal with the introduction of this set,I have a lot of good memories of that color from way back in the day.

[@danjasonlee]

Amazing care and time put into this review Jang! God bless man!

[@shawnp4155]

Such an iconic build for anyone in North America! Get a great Grease or Back to the Future vibe from this set. Park the DeLorean out front and it's perfect!

[@thesaucylorax]

For this specific application i enjoy that the pieces are less quality controlled because its a very retro style of building so you could say the building is quite old and has faded the paint a little as things got older but the owner tries to keep it as nice looking and clean as he can

[@aaronvanmorris6005]

Superb review for a superb set! I love the curves and round edges. They nailed the 50s look with this one!

[@seattgurl]

This has been on my wish list for over a year - this Christmas as a present for myself for SURE!

[@lordmagnos703]

Awesome set, awesome review. Thanks JANG, love your eye for detail :)

[@WalterStarPro]

The second and third floor is .... Um that's tan Come on you were thinking it too

[@alle2740]

I love how you explained the construction methods. Looks like a great set!

[@ArmandoLegos]

Congrats @JANGBRICKS I'm impressed by the quality of you videos!! You've a new Fan from Barcelona.

[@bricknmotor]

I just pulled the trigger on it. Been looking at this set for wks. I went with Amazon just cause I can't wait to play with it now that I finally decided to get it. ; )

[@canwegetmillionsubscribers7665]

I love the background music😆

[@aidangarvey7049]

The choice of music for this review is spot-on XD Great video!

[@lewismx8815]

Yay, teal is back! Nostalgic colour from the life on mars aliens :) Also, you could stack the old flower stem pieces as well.

[@ralphmasucci9005]

Hello, old friend.

[@Kurlija]

Absolutely stunning set, thanks for covering it in such detail!

[@BrickMeister070]

My respects, JANG, for offering us a review of this beautiful Lego set so early! I thought we would have to wait another week or so!

[@Sp4dester]

I like when Lego pulls little references and I loved this reference with the King of Rock(especially that Cadillac lookalike). 50's architecture is good architecture in my book.

[@TheLegoboss]

Really cool set and the music fits the theme of the build very well!

[@digitalhillbilly8863]

This is easily my favorite Lego set ever.

[@ryebread102]

SO CLOSE TO 900K JANG KEEP IT UP :D

[@northernlego1884]

That is WAY more awesome than I thought it would be! It truly looks beautiful!!!! There's only one thing to do here: BUY! Thank you for making all these super high-quality reviews, Jang. They are really helpful when it comes to deciding whether or not to buy a set, or just to get a closer look at sets you don't have the money to but.

[@issas7904]

I love these kinds of LEGO sets, they look like real life buildings and are very detailed.

[@Gamesrob]

Great review, what an impressive modular, inside and out, after watching this I ordered the set immediately, love it 👍😀👍

[@Lordodragonss]

I always enjoy watching your reviews, especialy on Modulars! They are always so cleverly build!

[@ericsmolich2839]

Funny how the front of the teal building looks like a jukebox

[@tylermcquade3011]

Eric Smolich. Probably ment to be

[@DalekBricks]

Great review, JANG! I just finished the first floor, and I absolutely love it so far! Thankfully, I haven't had a problem with the teal colors yet, so fingers crossed that it stays that way ;)

[@TI-Xyrnas]

the re-released color is quite a-teal-ling

[@jamsonvictor9232]

it's so freaking pretty I love it so much and the way you explain it

[@ethanbradley1943]

Anyone else think that the boxer looks like Ron Burgundy from anchorman

[@whatsgood8228]

Jang you did a great job of reviewing this set.
