- It's always been a dream of mine to have a full fledged LEGO City. Unfortunately I don't have the space for a dedicated LEGO Room. So I went with the next best option ... a LEGO City on SHELVES!
This is a tour of my LEGO City Shelf where I show you all the different LEGO Modulars, LEGO MOCs and LEGO Vehicles I have displayed.

I like this set up more than the large tables imo.
Same here, the buildings look way more fuller and livelier imo.
The tables look kinda gross to me like a bad addiction gross 😂 I know this dude has a ton anyway it just looks way cleaner and cared for. I have a few Lego sets but I collect funko pops and I have over 100 in nice organizer shelves and they look clean and nice.
YES! tables end up looking like a huge mess, especially given most cities are just modulars
me too. time to reconfigure my city and get a ping pong table🙂👍
I MUCH prefer leveled cities like these compared to the bulky ones. Much more neat and pretty.
This more minimalist approach to a lego city display is much preferable compared to having rooms full of desks. You’ve inspired me to rearrange my sets with your fantastic idea !
It is important to show this alternatives man, CZcams at least it's so full of the same traditional table layout, were bigger is better, people can build whatever they want, but it is appreciated to see alternatives for others to get inspired and try it out, even if the space and budget is not the same, the pros of this layout is that you can set different scenes of a city, smaller neighborhoods, mor comercial areas, big busy areas, other cities just feel strange with having these all together in one table, while shelf divide the scenes and make it seem that you are picking veins of a big city, I don't know if this is the best way to do a city but it's a good option.
This looks a lot better then the big messy lego tables
Putting the Up house between the two taller buildings was genius!
Fantastic modular streets setup, and great to see the more down to earth reality that not all of us have the space for a massive modular city! I recently bought a house and while quite spacious, there isn't room for a massive modular city table either, so I've had to settle for a long modular street (9 full modulars in width) across the top of a bookshelf. In some ways I reckon this sort of street on a shelf can be better if it is all killer no filler which some of those giant cities end up being
Wow! It looks amazing and aesthetically pleasing! Great job!
Great idea. Looks wonderful, I may have to do it myself.
Keep Building!
Great video! Thank you for the ideas. My wife and I have been wanting to do shelf cities ourselves!
Great idea, I started on a big winter village on a very large table and realized I can never do what I want since I'd have too many tables around the house.
So I'm attempting a little of what you're doing. Do it in a finite shelf space. I use less bricks and get more creative with the layouts.
Great job, I think your city looks great.
Thank you so much!
The UP house placement is great!
Hi there… you got Nice Lego City., Lovely man… I also live in a Flat any my city I display in a IKEA glass cabinet .
If we had IKEA here in New Zealand, I think I’d have a field day 😅
Clean set up!! Loved the video ❤
Fantastic first full size video
I really like your setup for your legos. I think it looks better on shelves than on tables! 😊 its really is so detailed. good job 👍
yes!!! im also working on a mini city on a shelf!
Great work! The production quality on this video is so good
Looks great! I also have a shelf setup for modulars and mocs.
super awesome. that UP house is amazing
Love the city on ur shelf
Facades behind the city layers would be a nice addition.
Looks great
i been doing the same thing for a while but with 2 modulars and a construction site just taking up 1 shelf
Nice! You give me ideas for my city which is on shelves in a curio cabinet at this point. Thanks😊
I think this set up is cool and all of your sets are incredible when they’re together. I am starting into it.🥰
good posters as well, cheers
I prefer the shelves. My favorite (and first as well!) is the boutique hotel.
Awesome setup and great idea! Might do something in my office (don’t have space for large spread out LEGO layout)
Quick question. What depth are your shelves? Look perfect depth to put a modular plus a street play in front.
Clean job! Looking forward to more videos 👌🏻
I have a small Lego city, I do have some sets on shelves. I can relate with having too much Lego while not having enough room.
Awesome video! Amazing city! You should make videos about your MOCS
I use the same type for all my displays. 👍💪
i know the feeling, i have mine LEGO City on Windowsill because it can hold a baseplate on it and yeah i did build them on MILS plates and also with lights on the buildings.
As I am addicted to LEGO modular buildings, I love every modular contents you create and love your shelf display ^^
Love the amount of effort you put into this video, can't wait to see your future vids!!
This is a really amazing idea, your video has really made me think about how you can display Lego. I’ve a lot of sets but I’ve not purchased a modular because I don’t have a dedicated room or an area whereby I could display these in. That was until now, such an awesome idea and you’ve given me food for thought. Brilliant
Super cool setup!
Love it.
Looks really cool. I suffer the same fate because my home office is also my Lego showroom. I really like the shelf idea for your city, looks really clean and surprisingly spacious.
The set that the bus came from was my first LEGO set. I’m sad I don’t still have it assembled, but that makes sense as I was a young kid. This made me feel old! Lol
Very well done 🎉
So amazing
Super clean video! I really love your setup
I do the same with My modulars, it's the better option to put a lot of big sets, the only problem are the modulars how are to tall like the ninjago city/gardens and the daily bugle
Mate this city is amazing! I have to pack up my city soon so definitely gunna do this!
Thanks dude! Glad I could provide some inspo 😅
sick setup
It looks so clean :)
Love your videos. Literally bought my first piece of Lego after watching 🤩
Production value on this video is insane 🎉 keep at it man I’ll be watching the channel grow!
Appreciate the kind words man!
I had the came idea looks awesome 👍😎
Great video love the editing! Subscribed
Hi! Trying to decide if I go table city or shelf city.. and honestly I’m starting to lean shelf!!
How did you add in the streets? Are they just additional baseplates connected by some smooth tiles?
Definitely will be subscribing :)
Dude, if I wasn’t such a diehard Ninjago fan I would definitely be doing this kind of thing!
New Subscriber👌👌
Recently put all my lego city on shelves, saving for road plates, or bricks to build my own....Kiwi ingenuity continues....cheers from Auckland!
KIWI INGENUITY 101 ! Good luck with ya road building 🙏🏻
Nice high quality video 💯
My favorite is the 3rd shelf
The up house is perfectly placed!!!!! Love your shelf city, but it needs a name. Lol! Keep up the great work my man!! 👍💯🔥
editing and camera work is simply astounding! This channel is going to blow up big time.
Great build and perfect speed!! Slow enough so we can see what is happening but not slow enough to bore us!
Definitely tried my best to find that middle ground so glad to hear this 😁
I loved this vid the music everything looks good and is edited so prefectly gained my sub
Nice. I’ve a similar plan for my living room. Just finished sanctum 🎉
The sanctum is one of my favourites! Good luck with your plans 🎊
Awesome shelf city! Top shelf is definitely giving multiverse vibes 🌀 I just picked up the Sanctum and cant wait to build it!
Hopefully I’ll get the whole MCU gang up on the top shelf one day, the poor Up House is gonna be overcrowded by superheroes 😂
Awesome content 🎉
Im in the same situation pal, shelves are simply so practical
good idea! This way I can expand my collection and still have space in my room for other things like working place 😁
My thoughts exactly! Utilise the space you’ve got to the fullest 🤝🏼
Great video 👍
I am actually doing this type of set up ! I bought two tables and they take up too much space! Looks amazing and jealous of what you have so far !!
Good luck with your set up ! 🥳
Very awesome city but I may be biased because my own shelves city is comprised of most of these buildings lol. I even have the Sitcomplex and noodle shop Mocs and currently building the Up house one. Though I have modified the noodle shop to have a tree and bench and table outside for outside dining and the floor above I’ve modified into a small martial arts studio (I used to go to a martial arts club packed into a small flat space so I found it cute to add it in). I don’t have the space for too many roads on my shelves so I’m a little jealous of your road display. Suppose it’s the choice between adding roads or using that space for more buildings cos I have a beach area on my lower shelves that have Ideas sets like the Lighthouse and Fishing store displayed and I couldn’t imagine removing them as much as it be nice to display more vehicles. I guess with limited space we have to be more creative and ruthless about what we choose to display.
I'm using this method in my bedroom
That's cool. Oddly I've always liked small footprints but tall developments. 😅 So I keep thinking of doing a tree or skyscraper like lego city. 🤷♂️
I like this setup a lot, because it looks very good, not overutilized, and tbh this is what most of us can afford :D
Hi! This looks great. Do you have a link to the shelving unit?
Love the Video 🎉❤
Gotta include the good old countdown bricks truck.
Love the set up bro, but how do you clean your lego? I used pressure gas, but it doesn't get the job done sufficiently. any tips?
Great! Well more organized than mine even I have my own room
Haha I’m very pedantic about keeping it organised and clean - for better or for worse 😂
awesome city, i hope you're gonna connect the shelves one day, with stairs or elevatores
I like your thinking! An elevator sounds fun 👀
I love your set up, its very similar to one I have. Only suggestion is to be careful in position as to how close ur sets are to the window, ive learned the hard way that the sun will yellow your more white/grey lego. You have it just out of the suns direct light just dont lose your cool stuff! loved your video.
Oh thanks for this tip
this looks awesome, saw your tiktoks glad i found your youtube channel
I can dig it. Myself, I would like to make a shelf city like The 5th Element with tall skyscrapers on top for the rich people middle class in the middle then a street level with an underground on the bottom shelf.
This is some high quality content. Subscribed 😎

Where did you purchase your shelve from? nice set up
As someone also renting, this is such a great idea! Looks pretty kitted out, have plans for when the shelves are completely full?
Those plans are still in the works! Not sure what I’m gonna do .. Maybe get a second shelf, expand the current one, kick out my flatmates? 😂
I vote for kicking them out… just kidding! Idk I think it would be cool to set up two shelves next to each other and then halfway through the second shelf add some other scenes like a park or a beach
@@KiwiModularsI was wondering what storage shelve did you get to make your city. I'm thinking about making a city like yours. Can you please send me a link? It will definitely help a lot as well. Thanks 👍
Did you use 3x baseplates to match the level of the road plates? Sorry if you've answered this already. The city looks great!
Loved the video. Your lego store building on the bottom shelf. What is that exactly?
That’s a MOC of two Lego store sets combined into one! Check out this short I made of it 😊 czcams.com/users/shortsJyBl1aM-D9E?feature=share
The pig on the police station, i love it
I spy that Countdown farm in the stairwell 😂
I Also have mine on shelving due to space limitations
However
You executed this very well
Mines.. messy..
Really cool!
But what do you use for dust?
What about glass doors, to remedy some of the dust?
I love the shelf! Might need to have you tell me where you got it 👀❤
Bought it from Bunnings Warehouse - a local hardware store! Just swing by NZ/AU with a laaarge check in bag 😂
I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and this is a great idea for people who don't have a lot of space 😊🥰💖
I have these shelves! I have my bottom as a Star Wars battle set up basically with all the vehicles the star being the at at and my top my small (still growing city) haven’t added a top layer because of the daily bugle 😭
Fellow Kiwi LEGO collector here, nice to discover your channel!
I know how you feel with no space. I’m currently trying to build a city in my travel trailer bedroom
Thank you for sharing your display shelves! I stay in a flat too, definitely need the same setup as yours. Are you from NZ?
Sure am, NZ reppp 🤝
Great idea buddy! 🎉
😎🤝
good video nice
