LEGO City Update Late Sep 2024

I actually get around to making some proper progress on the raised Chinatown section of the city using so many parts that I've picked up from the LEGO store Pick and Build wall whenever I visit.

Chinatown looking good! The Monkie kid Megapolis set, 80054 combines really well with City of Lanterns and could give some nice expansion options for that far end. The small buildings all end up being pretty modular in themselves. Look forward to seeing where you go with things.

Yeah - I'm not as big a fan of the Megapolis set by itself, but I can see how well it could combine with City of Lanterns & especially when I extend out the raised railway/monorail. I might see whether it goes on sale around Black Friday. It's another set by Justin Ramsden who's my fav designer!

Oh look, you even took the time to model a Chinese infrastructure sink hole where the ground collapsed!

That's brilliant 🤣 I should have really leaned into the Chinese infrastructure theme in the commentary!

I like the changes to the lanterns, as they look great alongside the cobblestone path. What of you move the Ninjago set to the end of sets where you have the spring lantern set?

I think it's just too big (& slightly worried about the weight) but I'll definitely try a range of options before deciding for sure.

This looks incredible !!

Thanks - still lots of work to do. I need to step it up over Autumn/Fall & Winter.

Looks amazing, well done!

[@BasedPlateReviews]

Thanks - lots of work to do but think I'm getting there. There'll be lots of time indoors in the freezing weather we get up here in order to get it done!
