Is it worth BUYING EVERY LEGO MODULAR BUILDING today?

[@emvbricks]

Surprised the police station is at #2. I can’t get over the fact that in that set the only access to the small apartment above the donut shop is through the fire escape ladder out the back window. I think they should have at least put a door connecting it to the interior of the police station itself. This one also didn’t include the 2 technic pins on the right side for some reason. There are two in the set, but they’re used somewhere else. No idea why they weren’t included. Despite these two issues I have with it, it’s not a bad set. I actually love the design of the actual police station itself.

[@MJ-uk6lu]

It's also one of the most shit sets you can buy today as well. It has cool details inside, but it's super repetitive, way too big for any playability, crappy display piece. I dunno, it's second worst Lego set after World Map, which was dumb, because it's just a big baseplate with tons of dots. And ironically there's also quite a good selection of other Lego ships, which are more playable and also have some cool interior bits, which makes Titanic really pointless. It's sort of the same deal with Nasa "Discovery" and Creator Rocket 3 in 1 set for 10 USD, which is smaller same thing with 2 extra builds and it comes with enough pieces for building a custom small diorama. I'm seeing a trend of Lego releasing smaller builds that are superior and make their expensive crap worthless.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

@@MJ-uk6lu To be entirely fair that trend of making smaller builds that make expensive crap worthless, if it exists at all, is a really good thing. If anything Lego needs cheaper sets, so more people can afford it and get into the hobby. I'm perfectly okay with a 700 dollar AT-AT starwars set, but it needs to be balanced with many sets in the 10-100 dollar range.

[@MJ-uk6lu]

@@pinobluevogel6458 I didn't say it was wrong, it's just very weird as buyer. It's also weird that many people claim that Lego is expensive, when it's actually getting cheaper and cheaper with more choices and etc. I swear those people weren't shopping for Legos in late 00s. Looking back it was almost crazy how relatively little amount of sets, themes and colors there were and stuff was actually much more expensive and there weren't cheaper options if you wanted something specific. Even creator bare brick sets were smaller, less colorful and more expensive.

I have all of the modulars UP TO the Jazz Club. Almost all of them have had additional floors to increase height (most are 5 stories each). The Grand Emporium had 8 studs added to the escalator side and 16 studs to the other. This afforded me the ability to add built out interiors. The first floor is the cosmetics department. The second floor is women's wear and the third men's. As I am getting older I am considering selling them. Anyone interested, let me know.

[@jineshlachmansingh4709]

@SHYTIMEismyTIME There's a lot of grey when it comes to these sets. For me, if the set has a baseplate, a closed back, or easily modified, it's a modular-type set. The Ghostbusters Firehouse is a good example.

[@reklasproductions]

Parisian Restaurant > Assembly Square > Boutique Hotel > Police Station > Detective's Office > Cafe Corner > Pet Shop > Then maybe Brick Bank or Corner Garage but then they start going downhill quite a bit from there and all the rest have things I would want to change about them. IMO (obviously). Also, if anyone from Lego is reading this. Stop putting trees in front of the buildings and just make the buildings themselves worth looking at instead of feeling the need to put a mediocre looking tree in front of it to attempt to add interest by hiding the boring building. Sigh. lol.

I feel like the Harry Potter Diagon Alley and Gringotts Bank should be considered part of the modular sets, sub category "Doll House" as unlike the other buildings where anyone can take off the roof / sections, while for the doll house, the back is completely open for "play", the buildings themselves have the function to be rearranged with each other.

[@iPenguins]

Love the whole video, love "what is modular" part aand want to a hot take: any 32x32 compatible set is a modular - old fishing store, motorized lighthouse, recent bricklink old train engine shed and so on They all fit very well together in a city

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

Yes.. those fit very well in the city. But do those sets have the 1x2 modified brick to connect to the modulars? That may have been why they were left out by Sands. Still though.. they do fit very well in the city.

[@manifestman132]

I missed a few of these and of course the market is a modular it was always pictured with them if I remember. If its not then either are the designer , BL or super hero sets. Cafe can be pretty easy to part together with a few alt colors and a few part swaps. There is a video out there on it. I like the idea as sure its not original but you can set it up as being renovated.

[@custarddragon9349]

I think the cheapest way to buy nearly every modular (excluding gg because of the sand green 1x2 with groove and 1x8 because they're no longer made) is to find pieces for them around your house, and buy the pieces you need in stores or on Bricklink. I'm using this technique to help me construct the fire brigade. the rare pieces like the light bluish grey trash can and red garage door pieces are just under $5AUD each, so if i'm honest, not too bad considering a used fire brigade is almost 1000 AUD. And i think that the modulars should have kept the classic :) face. it was funny in brick bank because they would be happy seeing the bank being robbed.

2:55 it’s not expensive when you piece it together. I pieced Market Street together, I have every single piece, and every single piece is an official Lego piece. I spent maybe $425.00 the most expensive piece were the white flexible hoses.

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

It depends.. I've had the marketstreet ready to piece as a wanted list on bricklink for years. The lowest I've seen after shipping was $350. But lately.. it's go up to around $700 after shipping. It really depends not the availability of the pieces. There's a few sellers on Ebay that are piecing the sets together.. and selling them whole.. the prices are about the same but.. at least you're only tracking one order.. and paying on one shipping and tax cost... vs. 20 orders on bricklink. I should have pieced together when I had it at $350. Kicking myself on that one.

The Parisian Restaurant was the first that I bought, and the Palace Cinema the oldest one I still managed to buy on retail. I'm missing the first 7 modulars, but although I can appreciate the genius of creating them with the parts available at the time, I don't feel inclined to spend that kind of money on them, because they are clearly dayed. What I am doing to complete my collection in a way is to redesign the modulars I don't have with modern parts, complete interiors and even some improvements, but in a way they are still clearly recognizable. My plan is to do it using only new parts and spending under 3000 US Dollars. Already did a video showing my Cafe Corner version and I have the Market Street version already built also.

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

And I don't blame you.. although cool to see or have.. most have nothing ground breaking that you can't find in the new modulars. I love it when the originals are made with newer parts.

Very interesting video. Really enjoyed it. I also bought the Assembly Square and Parisian Restaurant in 2018. Just a few month after getting into Lego in late 2017 because of finding BKM. I thought they would be a great way of learning how to build buildings. Today, they are still new in box. However in the last year, my wife spotted the Jazz Club and Natural History Museum in Lego Store windows. She thought they looked nice and remembered I had the AS and PR from 2018. She suggested I get the JC and NHM. What? She is actually wanting me to buy Lego and start a city. 😱 I am now starting to go back and get others. However, I have also found the Alt builds and Mods to these buildings on Rebrickable. I really like the mods to expand them, but keep the original type of building. Now, I am buying up multiples of certain buildings for expansion mods. I think I am going down a black hole with no escape….plus, I am starting to venture into Castle.

Man I wouldn't mind having every modular building at all. However, I would mind buying all of them, especially now. I appreciate the video and I think it is well edited, but the speed of the cuts is a little too hectic for me. I guess it works for short attention span young people, but I'm more of a longform video or even a book or podcast person. If it isn't worth watching in a slower pace, diving into it and immersion yourself in the visuals and narration, then it isn't worth the time. Having sped up videos might mean you get to cram more information into a shorter format, but it takes the enjoyment out of it, at least for me. For sure I don't mean this the wrong way, I think your Modulars look amazing, especially with all the lights, but I barely have time to see them.

@@pinobluevogel6458 lol I don’t blame you… it’s a pricey endeavor trying to obtain them all today. Luckily some aren’t as bad as others… but still though… not cheap. Sorry about the pace of this video. Based on the topic, I decided to go makro with this one. It was an editing visual decision to help with retention. It’s sad to say that it works. I tried to balance it, but wasn’t easy. I have a video coming soon more focused on a city and the lights. This one was more focused on the information than the city itself. Either way… if you like podcasts… hope you enjoy mine… it’s a lot longer at a conversation pace. youtube.com/@sittingonastoop?si=IvjZ557yy0EUCRck

@@SHYTIMEismyTIME Hey Shytime, thanks for taking the time to respond. I've listened to your podcast a few times now, I think it's great and much more my jam than the quicker style of videos. Those quick videos take a lot of work in the editing part too, to get it condensed this much, so it is not for lack of effort on your side. I think you're pretty much caught in a hard place where the younger audience (at least partially) desires the quicker videos while the older ones (for the most part) prefer a lower paced one. I'd say on shorts and TikTok, you see this trend exacerbated as that is mostly watched by a younger audience. I think Firebird recently made a video about this subject, where the audience is basically split in how they consume content and the algorhythm basically does push you towards certain trends. If you build a large audience on quality, none of this matters a whole lot, as people are basically watching your stuff no matter what and will help the channel with patreon and memberships, but for a lot of Lego channels they are still too small for that. You do whatever you think is best for you and your channel, but I will keep an eye on it regardless. Those podcasts are most certainly my style and I'm thankful that you are doing those as well. Peace!

The boutique hotel, jazz club and the museum are on my wishlist and I’m lucky because Lego still sells them (I’m a new collector), the others Modular’s I am not interested. I am excited to see what modular building is going to be on 2025

[@dumbeauu]

Is ghostbusters not modular?

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

Not according to Sands.. it doesn't have the 1x2 modified brick that allows it to attach itself to other modulars. But it still works well in a city next to them.

[@j00psta]

I have all the modulars, except Town Hall. I sold it because I hate the colour. They are all on the wall in my kitchen.

[@missambie1921]

Awesome video!

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Yes weneed a post office 😊 🤞🤞. Or shopping center mall .

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

Yes please! But a shopping mall!!! Didn't even think of that! That would be sooo cool!

[@_Kev_n]

What is the total to buy’em all at together, on estimate.. asking for a Fren 😅😂😂

[@Mondo78951]

What about Gringotts, that's a modular

[@Badgers_9]

Cool video 😀

[@jaketeske6665]

I have most of the Modulars, but it’s not worth it to me to go for all of them, especially Market Street.

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

That's totally understandable!

[@reneb86]

I love the concept, but after owning 6 sets now, I can't say I love the actual product. They don't look as good together as I thought they would. They're great to explore and let your eyes get to work on. But the wall of colors it creates in my living room is not so great. The best modular showcases I've seen are the ones with the room lights out and the lego lights on. And that's telling. And again, another thing not great in your living room. I guess I need a basement like all dem professional lego builders.

[@Shorty.186]

Whoo hoo! I got Town Square brand new on eBay a few months ago for less than $700.

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

That's a niiccceee come up!!!!

[@ymckrgb]

You are insane and I love it!

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

haha I know!!! Thank you =)

[@interstateruler]

Thank you for your service 👨‍✈️

[@mr.miniaturesmodels8465]

Wow… been watching Lego videos since the wife got into them. Then I see ShyTime video about them. But wait, last time I saw ShyTime was about Lego military sets. ShyTime is into Modulars now. How things evolve over time!

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

Haha thanks! Actually… go to the very beginning… I started with city videos… and post one every now and then. Haha but I definitely prioritize different things now.

[@connora03]

my jaw fucking DROPPED 4:22 I'm so jealous

[@fresherarc1050]

Man I wish I can afford all of that modular sets but awesome video as always but in my opinion…mmm it’s kinda worth if you know what your getting

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

Thank you!!! I think so.. but I'm lucky that I got most of these brand new at their retail cost.. and the original aside from market street at good price.

[@fresherarc1050]

Your welcome as always shy! But yeah that’s true since you know they are brand new from their original price

[@brickDonUsa]

🔥🔥

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

=) Thank you!

Aliexpress saves your pocket

[@bmbiz]

How do you avoid getting knockoffs or just plain ripped off there?

[@samkerr6029]

All that cash could have built you a castle worthy of your Falcon army :O

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

haha you're not wrong!!! Stay tuned on that castle!

[@stawksop]

bruh i feel so old seeing the vet hat, I came from the same era 😭

[@BrickZOfTheDead]

I’m speechless on how much you spent on your city ahaha. How many chanclas did you encounter once the wifey found out the cost. Haha, great video as always! Bro, you’re almost at 30k tbh with your content you should have been over 100k! Keep it up Shy!

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

lol.. technically I purchased them in a span of 7 years... mostly close to retail price... so not so bad. So she didn't say much about it.. phew... dodged that one. haha. But yes...almost there! Thank you as always!!!!

[@BrickZOfTheDead]

@@SHYTIMEismyTIME Hahah. Anytime!
