- Let me know if you think getting every LEGO Modular Building is worth it. If you’re building a LEGO city, buying LEGO sets such as the Cafe Corner or Green Grocer maybe something you wished you picked up.

I LOVEE the breakdown of the different modular ‘eras’ 💥 The idea of a Post Office Modular sounds SICK, 101% backing that now 😆👏🏼
I agree, a post office is needed. But a hospital/doctors office should come first.
haha thank you! We need a post office... or school.. or a hospital.. like ASAP! If we get another restaurant .. I'm going to be pissed haha.
I live my modular dreams through you
They’d pair nicely with Speed Champions …
I thank myself every Day i'm no real Lego Collector.... only a little Moc Guy.
MOCcing is super expensive too!
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME yeah thats true. Most of my finished mocs are on the smaller side and i try to use affordable parts. I try Not to use older Rare parts. But its a time and money consuming Hobby like armybuilfing or Collecting. I should have said in another fashion like: "my money got already eaten by lego, god bless i dont start hardcore collecting i would be poor in a couple of weeks" i understand the appeal of collecting Modular buildings. But i dont want to do it because of more money Burned.
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME also i really like your Videos. Your Castle armybuilding is epic 👍
my fav video you've done in a long time. Well done. You spend a lot of time on these videos now. Editing is on point. My rankings are def different but you know which ones are my favs. I'd probably move a couple around in the 10-19 range, but my top 10 is pretty solidified. Nice video buddy!
Thank you!!! It def took a long time. Had to bring down the entire city.. film them individually... and light them up. But I got to enjoy them again. It was fun breaking each one down to see what was still happening inside.
My rankings definitely changed from years past. It will beat Parisian now for me. What's your updated list?
and Miss ya buddy!
The Titanic is NOT a modular.
Oh wait… 😂
I feel like Neo when he says “whoa”. You just blew my mind
I’m a new LEGO channel just getting started, and your channel/Sitting on a Stoop have been a huge inspiration. Thank you!
Fantastic video Shy! Love the breakdown. A lot of this I did not know. I am only missing CC and MS. Can’t wait to pick those up eventually.
Thank you!!! Piece those together. Will definitely save your wallet!
Great video, I didn’t know there were so many, I just started my sets 2 yrs ago and have the latest 5 releases, I’m gonna try and buy them all.
Hey will you be doing a video on the modular adjacent sets you mentioned? I would love too see that!
Thank you!!!! I wish you luck on your quest. hmmm I do have it on my list but probably a little whiles away.
This video is 🔥! Love the era breakdown and Updated ratings! Follow up question to your ending though... Is having every modular building "lit up" worth it? Inquiring fans want to know! 😉
Thank you!!! The lighting definitely takes it to another level. And… on the schedule after two other videos.
I would include the Monster Fighters Haunted House, the Old Fishing Store, the Motorized Lighthouse.
Sands didn't say they were a part of the modular line. haha. I'm presuming is that they don't have the 1x2 modified with a hole that would make it so you can connect it to another modular. That being said... the Moster Fighters Haunted House is such a great set!!!!
@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.
Amazing video and breakdown Shy! The modulars look so good all lit up ✨
Thank you! It’s def a different vibe. I haven’t simply stared at my city in while before lighting them… now it’s everyday.
Such an enjoyable video. Your modular buildings look amazing with the lighting. Totally worth having all of them.
Thank you!!!! The lighting definitely takes it to another level. You can enjoy what's happening inside since now they're all visible. Totally worth it.
Always great to hear more about these. Nice video!
Thank you!!!! Glad you enjoy it.
On a similar life path... before even seeing your videos or other Lego youtubers, I was building Duplos with my 2 year old and my mom got me an off brand mini modular building that I ended up building with my 2 year old and she loved making a "big girl Lego" with dad... so i decided to look into official Lego modular buildings and got the Parisian Restaurant new based on just the looks and style alone. Now we are about to start building our Lego modular city together and it is exciting to be my first Lego in about 15 years.
Our plan is Parisian Restaurant -> Fountain MOC -> Boutique Hotel... then IDK... was looking into a Jazz Club MOC that makes it look New Orleans inspired to join the PR on that side. Also, prior military as well, neat seeing another service memeber also into Lego
The modular history I did not know I needed!
Modular history I didn’t know I could make! 😊
What a collection! I'm happy to build my own cheap modulars rather than empty my bank trying to get my hands on one of the originals but I have to say, especially lit up, they look amazing! I'm very happy you spent the money so I could see them glow. Worth every penny/cent!
I was fortunate to be able to get the originals at low cost... aside from Marketstreet. That one hurt. I love how people are building them using modern parts to lower that cost. In my opinion they look better with any of the modern sets when done.
And yes... lighting them up does so much to them. I can now see what's happening inside again. Totally worth it!
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.
STILL NEW IN BOX???? So is a city imminent? Tanks look really cool parked right in front of them!!! Trust me… I would know. Haha.
The alt builds are also really cool. I’m sure you have enough to start a very sizable city by now. They are cool to look at.
Now with castle… well.. 😊😊😊
Yes, 2x Assembly Squares, a Parisian Restaurant, a Police Station, a Book Shop, a Jazz Club, a Natural History Museum and a Boutique Hotel; all new in box, for now.
I had a past idea of taking the Assembly Square and Parisian Restaurant and turning them into a distressed WWII diorama. Never materialized.
No Modulas for me. I TRY to buy only my favorite themes, that being Star Wars & Castle. A small fortune too! 😬💖 I occasionally fail! 😂
I fail all the time haha.
i wish i was able to get some of those older sets. well at least i can try to part them out when i get a chance.
Yes defiantly.. I like how people having been using modern parts to fill the gaps of the expensive pieces! They fill the skyline so much better in my opinion!
I just simply pieced together Market Street and Café Corner. I bought an incomplete green grocer, it came about 65% complete. I then replaced all the missing pieces. So I now have all of the Lego modulars.
Nice!!!! That's the way to do it!
After all these weeks I finally get to see your shelf all lit up AHH
haha this only took me 8 months to finally knock out!!! It's sooooo cooool to see the whole thing lit up. Dedicated vid on the lighting coming soon!
2007 is the mark of a new era with Lego. I’m going to miss my copies of the sets being in these lists - lol! Aren’t the classic castle sets modular too?
I poked at that idea of not using your videos for this one.. but I didn't pull it off right.. so it got cut. I thank you for posting those videos when you did... they sooooo came in handy when I needed to reference them... so again Thank You for making them.. and allowing me to use em. As far as the castle modulars.. hmmm that's a debate between you and Sands.
Great video Shy!
Thanks TJ!!!
Great video as always the fire brigade is a grail set for me.
Thank you!!!! Fire Brigade is such a sleeper set!!! Fragile AF though.
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME is it? That’s interesting to know I’m currently working on the newer galaxy explorer and I honestly find that one fragile.
Great video. Thats probably the strongest lego theme through out the years. Modulars are just great. Wish I just had enough space for them, but dont we all
I totally agree. Definitely an evergreen them for LEGO. I'm just about run out of space haha
I have one modular and I decorate it for seasons, holidays, birthdays. My apartment is too small for any more 😊
Great video Shy
Thank you 😁
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
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.
Great breakdown video. It’s crazy to think that over half of the value in the modular line is tied up in the first three. But it’s all about supply and demand.
Thank you!!! Supply and demand as you said!!! It's crazy to see how Marketstreet itself has the highest return out of every single one.
What about the ghostbusters firehouse
Does the Ghostbuster firehouse have the modified 1x2 pieces to connect to another building? But it's definitely a white whale set for me!
We got into Lego modulars at the exact right time, so only paid over retail for market street. I love them, but they don't feel quite as special anymore because they used to be literally the only Lego set we got each year, whereas now it's gotten a little out of hand!!! And we've not picked up this years one yet which is possibly the latest I've left buying it.
How much over retail did you go over retail for Marketstreet! I used to hate on the set until I got it… and now looking at it… it completes skyline! It’s hard for anyone to stick to one theme nowadays. Lighting up mine made enjoy each one all over again!
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME just spent the morning trying to find the order (turns out it was Ian who bought it back in 2013) - we paid £320 so definitely a lot higher than the retail!
Your city looks so good with the lights! I have Assembly Square and the Bookshop. I am so excited to build them. I just need a place to display them.
Thank you! Lights helped me enjoy each set all over again. And now I can see inside as opposed to before.
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME I feel the same way about my light kits on my sets. I usually try to install them during the build, which can be its own adventure. Also, I would just like to say thank you. I think it’s so cool when a creator likes or comments on my comment. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Keep up the amazing work! You’re killing it, Shy!
🔥🔥
=) Thank you!
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.
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. They fill the skyline so much better... and I feel are more cohesive all-together.. esp when there are interiors made with them.
That's it, I'ma buy MOCs instead, HEY ALIEXPRESS, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Lol!!! I don’t blame you.
Your lighting looks fantastic!!! I’m currently having an I hate LEGO day. How you doing? BTW Assembly Square is a filler modular. :P
Thank you!!! I HATE LEGO DAY? What does that mean? Does it help from buying LEGO... cause I need help with that. Assembly square in previous year rankings have always been my number one.. till Emily made me see as a filler.. on accident.
Awesome video
4:03 impressive picture
4:23 looks amazing lit up, I've been waiting for this reveal for a while
The Town Hall is # 1 on my modular wish list
6:23 we do need a hospital, school, and post office
The breakdown of all the modulars and eras is great
The cameos were great
haha Thank you! It was a fun video to make. The city definitely has a different vibe now.. and truly something to see now that I the stories inside are visible. Hope you're able to get Town Hall sooner rather than later.
Yes weneed a post office 😊 🤞🤞. Or shopping center mall .
Yes please! But a shopping mall!!! Didn't even think of that! That would be sooo cool!
Thanks!
Awesome video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Parisian restaurant certified platinum goat status
💯💯💯 Agree!!!! Total 🐐status!!!
You are insane and I love it!
haha I know!!! Thank you =)
All that cash could have built you a castle worthy of your Falcon army :O
haha you're not wrong!!! Stay tuned on that castle!
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.
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.
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME I my case at the start I already had about 74% of the pieces on hand. so I only had to order 26% but those white hoses, they were not cheap by any measure, I really thought about knock off pieces on those, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
I mised the boat on these so I am hopeful they continue with new modular buildings. I plan on building a city after my youngest leaves the nest. I have a few years to obtain the sets.
Finally here. Sorry I’m late😅
😂 The Modular Family Pic in the kitchen haha
“Wholly unoriginal city” - Sands burn
“POOR!” - another Sands burn
I'm just glad you're here Lauren!!!! I appreciated the backup on Market street!!! haha.
Shy I’m a fan from England mate 🏴 really enjoyed this video it’s made me wanna start a city 😂
Hi! Thank you!!! You should definitely start one whether using sets or making your own creations. They are truly satisfying.
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME all my time and money lately has gone on my medieval village moc instead 🙈 I suppose it’s a nice problem to have 🤣
🐐
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
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.
Your welcome as always shy! But yeah that’s true since you know they are brand new from their original price
Whoo hoo! I got Town Square brand new on eBay a few months ago for less than $700.
That's a niiccceee come up!!!!
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!
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!!!!
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME
Hahah. Anytime!
What about the monster fighter house ? The Ghostbusters HQ ? And the Lego city train shed ??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Do they have modified 1x2s… that allow other modulars to connect to them?
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME technically the train shed is modular because it has 1x2 technic brick and you can connect 2 together 😉
Great video shy happy mother's day too your wife
Thank you! I will let her know.
If I ever hit the lottery that's the only way my wife would allow me to spend 12 G's on lego (at least at once...can't believe she's allowed it over the course of 1.5 years....).
I enjoy the hell out of your videos, your editing style, and your personality. Life's super busy when this isn't your main stream of income, but man I wish you had the fortune of posting every day!
Thank you! It was a fun video to make... and I'm glad you found it enjoyable. I truly appreciate it. If only had more time than the few hours a day I can dedicate to it. Life is too busy.
And dropping 12Gs on LEGO in one swoop... RIP. My wife would definitely not approve as well. haha and like you.. 12Gs. over the span of the 1.5 years... I can totally relate.
@SHYTIMEismyTIME I hear ya brother, 2 young kids (6 and 3), if I'm lucky only a 9 hour day at the office, of course lifting, doesn't leave much time for else. But you have talent in both editing and a seemingly true affable personality.
Back to Lego building and watching Bluey with the girls (wife is out celebrating Mother's Day...I'm not a derelict husband!).
Great vid shy😊👍👍 loved. This vid 😊. Or you can gather the parts. Like i did collecting parts for 10 year s so whent thru my part s. To build ninjago city .only spent $300 on pic a brick for parts i not got. . Plus sticker $25 .in australia dollers. The set add sales for $1.250 up to $1.700..add it not a moduler. An now. Doing the same to build brick bank. 😊. Then. Main stret . and.then Green grocers .
haha Thanks Countra!!! Nice.. hopefully you can piece those together soon.
I have most of the Modulars, but it’s not worth it to me to go for all of them, especially Market Street.
That's totally understandable!
I have every modular + duplicates of half of them!
ALL OF THEM>???
Is ghostbusters not modular?
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.
Okay I know your low on space, BUT PLEASE DONT THROW AWAY YOUR BOXES, AT LEAST THE MODULAR ONES! If you don’t want them you could even sell them, just throwing them out is last resort.
( I’m not joking on selling your boxes, it can give you quite a profit )
haha. I understand there is value in it. But to me.. it gives me more anxiety to wait for that right person to finally say they want to buy it at my asking price. My space that I need.. and my time is more valuable than the boxes. Otherwise I'm hoarding an extra thing... so it's freeing to toss them all out from the beginning.
i already buy castle and star wars moduler would kill me
haha it only takes one set. The force is strong with this one.
Haha! Cool. Thanks for using the moment that has “me” in the video 😊
Haha!!! Couldn’t help it when I found it. 😅 It’s an iconic sigfig!
Excellent vid. I was impressed enough with your army of modulars then you lit’em up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am Canadian so the total price tag for me would be approximately $500K. I’d need a new house to display them and move into after guaranteed divorce.🤠
500K !!!!’ You can put them all on a shelf like Joanna/Highteatoys or myself. All 19 modulars in a 3 feet by 7 feet table. Don’t know how to prevent the divorce part haha!
here here 🥂
Cheers!!!
@3:10 disagree. The bowling alley is better design than the petshop, and Studgate is better design than half the modulars.
Those are great Bricklink Designer Sets! I slept on both of them. Wish I picked up the bowling alley.
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME I lived in LA 1.5 years ago. If I was still there I'd offer you mine. Brick Cross thats "coming out" on June 6th is perfect for your glorious shelves! Im replacing Studgate in my city with it. Thanks for responding man, I love your content. Glad to see the channel grow so much over the years, you deserve it.
send lego a e-mail ask lego to bring back sets
Sadly... I don't think they'll every bring back one of the OGs. They will pay tributes to them.
For $11 000? OMG no. Buying them at the price they came out at? Sure. Although your rank order is sus.
I'm def an imposter! Did you get them all at retail? I need your power!
@@SHYTIMEismyTIME I'm missing Market Street but I acknowledge it is a true modular (I'm not lying to myself even though I can't afford it). And I don't have all the "modular adjacent" builds (e.g. Ninjago). But you are 100% the real deal. Your light set ups are works of art.
For your ranking - I loved the Natural History Museum a lot more than you did. It just makes me happy to look at. :)
God Bless You In The Name Of Jesus Christ I Love You Brother In The Name Of Jesus Christ Amen
