Zoo Bear Habitat & New Modular Building! LEGO City Update

In this LEGO City update, I work on the bear habitat in the zoo and place a new modular building on pop culture street. In addition to that, we check out a bunch of awesome LEGO Minifigures, discuss the zoo progress, check out a HUGE Darth Vader figure, and much more. Check out the zoo and the new modular building in this LEGO city update!

Heyyy, make the bear cave on the rock wall. Like blend it in there. It would look much better like an actual cave in the rocks and a better viewing point from the angled glass wall. It would also save space on the corner next to the entrance

[@jimmykolb-fatdaddy7374]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@FinnishLapphund]

That Bear cave, the enclosure's wall, the log, and other details looks great! Not sure how you would be able to add much more without making it difficult to see the small bear cubs.

[@steverichards4973]

Perhaps a beehive in the bear exhibit? Looks great! 👍

[@danrohr230]

For shure

[@jeanjohnson643]

Would be awesome to have a goldilocks type minifigure standing in front of the 3 bears display :) love the progress being made in the zoo. I actually like the tower it reminds me of a scene in the cartoon movie Rio where blue and jewel sleep in a lookout tower. hope you have a great day. :)

[@edwardlees4585]

I think the bear exibit could have a couple of windows on the brown side wall so people in the street can see in and get a foretaste if what they will see once inside.

[@bricktogether]

When the zoo is done you should add the animal costume mascots as meet and greets for the kids...giraffe, panda from Lego movie and Gorilla, Penguin etc...from the series sets

[@lancespracklin]

The friends' set rebrickable modular would look great near the beach.

[@mordechaitaub3594]

2 things: 1 that bear exhibit is amazing so detailed!! 2 that wind shield/scene is not a Mini Cooper piece. That could be from the Porschea 911 or the Volkswagen beetle/bug. The Mini Cooper windows are tinted.

[@TheOneTrueJordan]

I love the detail of the fallen tree in the bear exibit. Gives it a nice lived in atmosphere.

[@Oilcountry89]

Hey Bricksie, I had an idea for the monkeys. It kind of has a pirate vibe. Instead of a grey tower you could build a brown pirate ship crows nest with nets and vines

[@dhdhdhdbdb236]

The zoo is looking great!

[@seanlennon9714]

The colour from the friends set definitely could suit the theme park, and as they kinda look like a mini Modular’s I think it would be perfect

[@lilshaolinboy]

Cherry blossoms and koi pond for common area would add the contrast to your green trees

[@michaelloeffler]

Love the look of the angled wall!! 13:21

[@mamabricks]

Love these updates. Would love to see minifigs riding the camel like a lil zoo experience 🐪

[@lloydevans85]

Build the bear den into the side rock wall, space saving and a sweet move I’d say

[@samwalker8893]

What would look cool is mounting a snot brick into the wall between the bear enclosure and the sidewalk at minifig head height, facing out to the road. Then get a white tile like 4x6 and press that onto it so blank tile faces out. You can then use a printer onto clear gloss sticker to create a colourful picture billboard advertising the zoo, or selling annual tickets etc. nice colour inserted in unusual way to break that plain brown brick that imposes so much out into the street. Thats what a real zoo would have, maybe a photo of inside the aquarium so that it’s represented to draw visitors in……

[@joeashley8127]

could you possibly incorporate the bear den in to the rock wall? Would make the bear den look a little more natural and maybe not take up so much room in the bear enclosure? Not sure how difficult that would be at this point.

[@mattgaskill7720]

Ok well I loved the tower as it is, maybe more vines could make it better and the angled wall for the bears looks amazing!

[@LANCEGDEZA]

add turtles make a waterfall

[@emmaengkvist1020]

If you build a pond you can have the flamingos in it so they dont need to be whit the crocdils

[@CharlotteAliceClaret]

You should put the crocodiles in an enclosed pond area in the middle of the zoo (Infront of the aquarium in the open space) and then you should split that space equally between the elephant/giraffe and the lions. They're big animals and they need a lot more space than you've given them for it to look like a realistic enclosure for them.

[@scotttoronto8043]

My thoughts exactly! The bears have a bigger space than the elephants and lions. They need more space.

[@laloortiz6719]

Congrats on the bear's enclosure, it looks really good!

[@Kodi_q]

There was a lego show here in my home town today and yesterday I went yesterday it was good

[@mc-maitrixgaming4330]

For any other rebrickable modular buildings u get next it would be a good idea to modify them to work on the water area by the Venice houses

[@MrKChernes]

I think the set your brick built giraffe came in also came with some sort of lookout tower/ tree house type build that might look better in the monkey exhibit. Would look more safari than prison as people were saying.

[@toasty3492]

You should add an artificial waterfall that connects to the pond

[@marineboy4622]

The zoo is looking great, but you need to add things like park benches, food vendors and trash bins. Maybe re-locating the Aquarium to outside of the zoo, would give you more room.

[@Bricksie]

Yep more details will be added soon. One thing at a time.

[@mikefoote34]

You should put some fish in that unique tree stump! Like that’s where the zoo keepers put the fish to feed the bear.

[@stevenroetzel4470]

IRL I am not sure how important the bears having privacy would be to the zoo keepers. But other than turning the den so that visitors can see inside from the viewing wall you built, I think the whole display is marvelous. Well done Sir.

[@annasworldofbricks]

The new modular building looks great!

[@georgesneddon22]

Loving the progress of the zoo, the bear enclosure is fantastic

[@brickbro1993]

Glad to see lots of stuff done today! And the zoo looks FANTASTIC! The bear inclosure looks amazing! I love all the color that it brings to the zoo! The new friends Modular building is also looking pretty good. Nice pop of color but I think it might look a little better with the school. I really like the build techniques you used for the rock wall in the bear inclosure, I think it adds a nice seemlees, continuous rock wall.

[@robertpaetsch8000]

Bears also like to climb

[@mathra2523]

I wonder if that pond in the common area could host some of those adorable otters coming out on January 1st? They’re so cute!

[@maryanne.campbell]

I like the juxtaposition of the haunted house & the friends modular haha

[@robertcarwithen5608]

Honestly Jordan luv ur content keep it up, defo think ur custom work is getting so much better and creative, the videos which veer away from standard Lego sets is what makes the channel more unique. 👍

[@Josh_Lee_Henderson]

Not sure where it might fit, but a small reptile house would be pretty cool for the zoo. I know they've made different snake pieces and even some lizards.

[@fathercrim]

After seeing this bear exhibit, the Polar Bears definitely need a bigger space

[@prateek523]

Every animal needs more space compared to the bears lol

[@fathercrim]

@@prateek523 polar bears specifically. Since they have a tiny enclosure

[@Bricksie]

Yeah eventually the polar bears and the entire aquarium will be getting an upgrade

[@jeroendelange4041]

the bears look really good! keep it up the zoo is going to be awesome

[@jimmykolb-fatdaddy7374]

Bear enclosure looking great! I still am pushing for a tire swing in the Monkey area. Keep up the good work!!!

[@amyk9813]

How about a gift shop and some vendors for food?

[@TheEmilia1]

I love the camel just chillin there day by day xD The Exhibit looks great!

[@judy3973]

Looks great! Good ideas moving forward too!

[@patricktrainor2004]

make a small koala exhibit once the new figures release in january

[@donnalajoie5309]

Love the Bear exhibit. enjoyed the video.

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

I absolutely love it!

[@HelloSnake]

Watch out with those ziploc baggies, I had some cheap ones and the plastic started breaking down and you could feel this filmy residue on your hands after touching them.

[@nickwoltring]

Love the zoo updates, the bear enclosure looks great, I think there's like 2 or 3 too many bamboo pieces in the water there especially with the log. I agree that less is more, especially for viewing purposes

[@tonihall7810]

What about if you add another level to the aquarium making a bigger area for the polar bears on the ground floor with inside and outside access. That way you won’t loose anymore space but the polar bears will be happy . 😊

[@dylancolvil6300]

The friends set mocs would look good by the beach, like in Florida has some like that

[@timmystauffer9094]

Use the dolls and scraps on the inside of that or other buildings you want inside for but won't open.

[@scottc3270]

Now you need to make the Pole bear a little big to match your black bear maybe not as big but with more stuff added to make it pop!

[@nickymo]

Ghostbusters right down the street if those friends have any problems w spooks or spectres next door

[@cksbricks7791]

Zoo looks great!! Modular abit too colourful for me haha

[@todddavis5816]

The ground needs some brown plate for dirt! Looks amazing!

[@philmorton4590]

Your probably missing the information desk and cafe and picnic area in the middle of the zoo. Probably more useful than a pond.

[@Bricksie]

Yep - lots of room for everything - those details will be added soon - I want to build a nice fish pond with a bridge.

[@teebird8629]

Bricksie - You KNOW I will be straight with you. City is looking great. Effiel tower really fits in dude…. With how good the zoo is looking - you and I know the aquarium could look better now that your building skills have gotten so much better.

[@fathercrim]

Hope your family is doing well. Happy holiday season

[@stzyspartan4650]

Day 8 of asking for a skatepark

[@farfromthebox8735]

Yes pls

[@quzslrivyjamescbxaouwpq]

That would be sick!

[@waylbrains4489]

A museum would also be awesome if he doesn’t already have one

[@kiralyka0664]

That is a good idea

[@wik2749]

@@waylbrains4489 he does

[@bolo8143]

You should make the entire roof on the Lego friends modular a baige color, so it fits in a bit more with the rest of the city

[@MakeupByHoni]

The friends building would be really cool by the beach!

[@almightycinder]

There's also a Friends vehicle in your city: the Mission Van, without the roof piece. It's by the graveyard.

[@kathylemoine3422]

I love how you change up the Zoo🤩🤩🤩

[@rexyjp1237]

Give the elephant and giraffe different encloshures since i dont think they live in the same spots in the zoo.

[@LX-470]

Super cool!

[@BrickHQ]

I think it might be cool to add more color to the zoo, with tiled floors, walls, viewing areas, food stands and other things in different colors

[@Bricksie]

That's the plan! One thing at a time

[@oliverwilson6904]

Great job

[@chevinkennedy]

you should add some soda machines, signs, walk paths and vendors right now its cool but the big space in the middle kinda throws it off

[@Bricksie]

Indeed - not done yet

[@williamsmith4414]

Great detail in the fallen trees

[@warrennewman5325]

Yaa bananas love big vader great mini figs and cool friends modular building bear park very brill doing awesome Jordan

[@ryleyw3684]

Looks awesome as always! I saw another comment about a good court or something and gift shop I think that would be good

[@dobby1379]

A rock viewing wall into the bear enclosure would be really cool

[@evanstols3049]

Hey Brickie, somehow i dont like the oblique fence in the bearpart of the zoo. Youve got everything pretty clean and straight.. but thats my opinion. Love your vids!

[@patrickvanzytveld3508]

Hey Bricksie, I'm an ex long haul trucker, now heavy duty mechanic in Spruce Grove. I go slightly more nuts everytime you scroll past the shipping yard. Could you please straighten the right side stack on the truck?? Love the videos, keep up the imaginetive work!

[@Bricksie]

Yeah the shipping yard is far from done. More details coming soon!

[@melindatyler727]

Looks great, u could use the mini dolls as mannequins or models for a museum

[@22damaged]

You should put fish in for the bears :)

[@nordisk1874]

I’m still trying to figure out how to moc the friend’s movie theater.. I have a Lego village, it will be the largest building.. the colors of that set maybe the beach?

[@katiena1251]

I really like the viewing wall nice!

[@retrorampage9015]

How does this all begin.. do you just cover a table with grey lego squares, build the rds and layout first?

[@backupaccount3957]

Could you add a hockey arena base

[@backupaccount3957]

Baseball stadium or basketball arena

[@thevinylcollector3472]

awesome video jordan the bears are looking amzing in the zoon i cant wait to see darth vader finished

[@GM_Mack]

Your zoo is bigger than my whole city

[@Unknowmanoffical]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS KEEP UP THE WORK

[@Pernobricks]

Best part of the video, saying “ I may just turn the cave around to add a bit of privacy from the viewing area”. We all know this comes alive when no1 is looking

[@cucumbersketchup1778]

The tower should have been a tree house 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I’m loving the builds so far you have so much talent and imagination with Lego!

[@22damaged]

Oh!!! And don't you have any squirrels? Or are they in the camping area??

[@fathimaminthasha4165]

Not gonna lie the bear exhibit is the cherry on top to the zoo

[@ByronVorster]

If you listen carefully during the video, you can hear Simon building and searching for pieces in the background :D

[@nedybob]

I swear I finish your last video and you already have a new one up

[@Bricksie]

#NoDaysOff

[@ryleyw3684]

Looks awesome as always! I saw another comment about a good court or something and gift shop I think that would be good if there is room

[@Bricksie]

Yep, that is still the part of the plan as well

[@AstronautTheGamer]

hubthe zoo looks great

[@Wi-Fi-El]

I had a dream last night that the Walmart near my house was having a crazy Lego sale and I got a bunch of old discontinued sets from Bionicle and Classic Space. I was kinda irked when I woke up because i had bought some really cool sets in my dream

[@doggy_gamer5611]

Add some frogs to all the water in the zoo

[@samoht__1]
