Ranking every LEGO modular building

[@sonjanaugler244]

I'm a new subscriber. As an adult I have rediscovered my love of Lego. I just got the Van Gough Starry Night set and I'm so excited to build it.

[@Badgers_9]

A really fantastic set. Very clever.

[@Gojiboi_productions]

I'm about to build the milkyway galaxy set

[@F.S.P.73]

I really hope we get a nice detailed Hospital next in 2026... Probably we will get a new Town Square for 2027 as "20th Anniversary".

[@carolcorsaut8498]

Great video! Began building in Dec. 2019 at the age of 74. My first modular build was Assembly Square and I was hooked…12 modulars later still love these builds.😊

[@christophlohnherr]

That‘s good to hear. Have fun building more modulars in the next decades as well!

My Favs Are… Brick Bank Parisian Restaurant Boutique Hotel Tudor Corner &&&&&&& Assembly Square‼️

[@kevinodw_]

The Police Station, the set that brought me back to lego, and the Natural History Museum are my favorites!!😍

[@samspetifore9875]

The museum looks great! Don't understand why haters hate.

[@ZZ-gj2kr]

WHAT??!! Bookshop at number 15??!! No, No, No!! 🎉

[@kalolawahine9182]

[@thegreenbrick]

Great video! Assembly Square was my first & gotta agree with your choices! Also great to hear about the placement of Tudor Corner! Really looking forward to it!

[@kalolawahine9182]

I’d Love To See A GRAND SYMPHONY HALL Done With A Balcony, Majestic Entry, An Old 1930’s Style Duzeldorf(sp?) And Lots Of Finely Dressed Minifigs, + A Poodle Too‼️❤️‼️👍🏽

[@craigbuehler8573]

glad I got Assembly Square when it was on clearance - great set

[@wai0937]

Congrats on 50K! I love your content and your takes on sets like these. A point of contention: Downtown Diner is the latest modular to feature a brick build lettered sign, coming out after the Palace Cinema. It was also the first to introduce turquoise as a dominant colour, before the Book Shop.

[@godlessdisco4266]

I agree with what you say about the town hall. It’s a set that I always have mixed feelings about. While I like the height, overall idea and the pillars, it just feels so flat and boring quite frankly. I have modified mine quite a bit to bring the pillars forward more and I have made changes to the balcony and the plants on the windows, but a revamp with the same overall idea would be amazing.

[@DesertDwight]

Bookshop is underrated. I thought it would be a lame build and not impressive, but I had a fun time building it and it just looks good!

[@tynovel]

I would like a post office please? Maybe a Royal Mail style logo.

[@GuanoLad]

Perfect timing for me, I was wondering what modular building set to seek out next. Now I have a reasoned list to pick an educated choice from.

[@admiralshallow1900]

A pretty conceptual gimmick for the Market Street is the fact that the floors are 16x16, which allows them to be rotated about with respect to lower floors. To accomodate this idea the stairs even come to the centre, leaving a gap in the middle of each floor instead of the typical stairs against a wall.

[@stasisbricks4565]

Detective's Office is my #1. Got me into collecting the modulars and building a city. What the city needs most (in my opinion) is a modular Post Office and I hope we got one for 2026.

[@FitFitFit22]

All the way to 50K. Congratulations and Happy Holidays.🙂

[@traceyshenanigans]

I think this was a good list. I wish I had more of the modular sets, but I'm glad that I have Assembly Square. I agree that it deserves the top space. There are just so many interesting details and spaces in this build. I absolutely can't wait to get Tudor Corner. The 2 sets that I would most like to own are the Detectives Office and the Brick Bank.

[@Yogington]

I tried to go see the Tudor Review but adverts were blocking the articles :/

[@ArtfulAmy]

18:13 The Downtown Diner was the first to not include the simple smiley faces.

[@louvienne531]

I have only recently been getting into the Modulars, but I would say my fav looks wise is definitely Tudor Corner, but in terms of storytelling I would say my fav is defo the Brick Bank. I just love the whole money laundering thing I think it’s completely genius!

[@angeemanns5893]

I only have a few of them, but my absolute favorite is the Boutique Hotel. It was just such a joy to put together. I'm really looking forward to Tudor Corner, though. I have a feeling I might like it even better.

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

The top 5 most beautiful modulars are: 1. Tudor Corner 2. Boutique Hotel 3. Parisian Restaurant 4. Brick Bank 5. Assembly Square Honorable mention: Detective's Office

[@BecSparky]

Currently building Boutique hotel and have Museum and Garage in my cupboard waiting. You actually made me LOL with carhole.

[@brizzy75]

Congrats on the 50K! I was lucky to rediscover Lego via the modular sets as a young adult when they started coming out in the mid 00's, so have every one of them except for the museum and yet to be released suspiciously ranked No. 2... I love every one of them in their own way- but your very lowly ranked Cafe Corner is still probably my favourite just because it was the first. I would love to see them re-release it or offer some more alternative designs for the more or less non-existent interior of the hotel part...

[@davidmsirois]

As soon as I saw Tudor Corner it was an instant buy... can't wait for January 1st!

[@adamborgia3880]

Tudor Corner has the looks - it’s striking, varied, and just has a lot going for it. Looking forward to eventually getting it. My first official Modular building was the Police Station, and I think it’s a total slam dunk package - awesome details and thoughtful interior designs for viewing and accessing, and great storytelling (as well as references to other sets). It’ll always hold a special place for me. Bonus in that it also fits in nicely if I wanted to put it next to the Marvel Modulars like Daily Bugle or Sanctum Santorum sets.

[@ZZ-gj2kr]

Imagine this, Lego: multi level car showroom with lots of cars, SUVs, a working car elevator, new car pickup area with giant ribbon, adjoining mini cafe opening onto a mini botanical garden with lots of butterflies 😊

[@chrisstone4648]

Tudor Corner all day long. It’s a gorgeous building, gives you that perfect pub feel, the olde worlde building in a modern setting. This probably isnt a modular, more of an Ideas set but i’d like to see a Spanish Villa (with the Moor rounded minaret style building).

[@Brickticks]

In the immortal writings of King Gripullon Chang….. Q

[@everacite]

The jazz club is my absolute favorite. I feel like it captured the perfect balance between interesting building and interesting detailing and Easter eggs/fun stuff. The stained glass windows are such a cool detail and it perfectly captures the jazz club vibe from all the ones I’ve been to and the historic row building facade. So great. I would love an updated city hall, or maybe a library or post office instead if they don’t want to retread past ideas.

[@cristinavasconcelos3884]

Great video! Congratulations. I just don't agree with the ranking given to the museum. I think it's ranking will drop a bit in the next years. I found it boring and expected more on the inside. Keep up the good work, happy new year

[@jpsuper]

Angry comment. Loved the video, watch many of your videos, and one of the topics I've been searching for. Really liked the list, and think I agree. Looking forward to Tudor Corner. On another note, the CMF sets, I was hoping there would be an Animal Crossing CMF Serie in 2025. Do you have any favourites?

[@jeffreywetzel6475]

I think the Natural History Museum’s appeal is largely about nostalgia and not design. If you remove the classic LEGO references it is big, blocky, drab, and empty

[@steviebeare1961]

50% talking about lego 30% dusting lego 15% building lego 5% life 👍

[@JAM609]

Everyone puts Market Street on the bottom. But really I think it’s the Pet Shop. I actually like the Pet shop but many of the brown and red pieces end up breaking and I wish it was one large building dedicated to all sorts of pets. Ranking in order of release would be an easy way to do it though.

[@samspetifore9875]

Garage?!?!?! Well, la-dee-da, Mr. Frenchman!

[@DERP_Squad]

I built the museum recently and was a bit confused and disappointed by two things. Firstly, some of the internal walls in the ground floor don't reach the ceiling. Secondly, a clear floorplate would have been better on the ground floor to display the bones that are covered and not visible in the build as is.

[@christianhagen9006]

Great comparison, you have a new subscriber 😊. I absolutely agree with your No.1 pick, I also love the Assembly Square and I‘m really looking forward to building Tudor Corner, it has the potential to take No.1 in my personal Lego modular list 😊. I would have ranked the Jazz Club higher, but that‘s just my two Cents. My overall favorite modular buildings though are the Mediterranean Villa by Bluebrixx, The Office by PanBo and the Cube Modern Villa by Mork (the latter two both designed by the great Ohsojang, of course 😊).

[@marijn8057]

Let's go! Congrats on the 50k subs!

[@kalolawahine9182]

I Just Tried To Recall Them All, And Came Up With 16… I’ll Try To Remember The Rest… Just Re-Subscribed Guy👍🏽‼️

[@brickademy]

Would have loved a timeline or more visual representation of what your ranking is. Besides that, it is crazy that prices of these modulars have increased 50% since it started. They better freeze the prices. 200 was a great price point. 230 is pushing it. At this speed we will be towards 300 in a few years😢

[@schan5401]

What's happening 28 days later?

[@tallmantoo]

I think the newest set would be my favorite although i haven't built or bought it yet. Parisian restaurant is certainly up there as well.

[@tallmantoo]

Doubtful they will ever make anything similar but I am missing Fire Brigade and Townhall. I dont even necessarily want a redo just a building that represents those functions to complete the city row

[@subman721]

32:02 HOSPITAL!!!!!!

[@jaketeske6665]

I don’t understand why the Police Station ends up in the top 10 of so many lists. It’s so plain looking and it was the least favorite build of a modular I’ve ever done. Parisian Restaurant, Detective’s Office and the Brick Bank are my top 3 and hard to beat in terms of so many great Modulars being released close together.

[@wai0937]

Disagree. I actually appreciate how realistic and classic Police Station looks. It doesn’t have any odd colours on the main building but sensibly offers variation in a vibrant donut shop next door. And the build was excellent with thought put into a storyline with hidden details and lots of clever mini builds.

[@David-qp9xe]

@@wai0937 Yes. The Police Station is one of my absolute favorites. Love both the look of it, and the great building process.

Angry comment for the algorithm: What?!!?! Cafe Corner at the bottom of the list? But it’s a classics, a modern treasure, it has all of the allure and we owe the whole theme to it!!!! Lame lame sets like the bookstore and the police modular are way worse. There ya go. 😉

[@fotoiasi]

You've got it totally wrong. Ok, it's your opinion and no one needs to agree with you. You need to take into consideration more than just the pictures you find online. You need to have them, then rank them. This will absolutely change your opinion.
