  • Up close, in person look at all 3 official builds for the nearly 1,000-piece LEGO Creator Townhouse Pet Shop & Café, which should really have commas in its name! This is a 3-in-1 set where all of the versions are designed with care and a fine level of finish.
    Oh, and Trash Vampires. 'Nuff said.

    I believe that the two things on the back of the juice cart are sort of like draughts/ taps / dispensers.

    Just watched your interview on Beyond the Brick. It's always fascinating to hear about all the hard work and tough choices that go into making content on CZcams. It's so easy to take a lot of videos for granted but it takes a lot of dedication and a true vision to be able to create and maintain a thriving channel. The conversation about how you're not just catering to subscribers but also a faceless and nebulous algorithm and how difficult that makes your job was really illuminating. I try to watch all of your videos, even if it's a set I have no interest in because there's always something that I can take away from the way you break down the design, unique pieces/colors, and builds. Keep up the great work!

    Because of the position of those black bars on the juice cart I think those are Taps. The trans yellow studs on top represent a clear portion containing lemonade and then there’s a plate and then there are opaque cylinders to represent the tops of the containers, so the operator of the cart would put a cup beneath the black bar and turn a knob or something to get juice for a customer.

    Great 3-in-1 set. I particularly LOVE the trolley. Such a great little vehicle, especially considering it's not even in the main build. The only real negative to me would be that such a large set only comes with 3 minifigures, it could easily use 2 or more to populate it.
    Also, kinda crazy how a standard Creator set in 2019 now has way more detail than early Creator Expert modular buildings from not that many years ago.

    Thanks for the thorough review Jang! I liked it very much. 😊❤️ Hope you keep doing these for the bigger Creator 3-in-1 sets.
    The design of the buildings and the interiors reminds me of the nineties for some reason, very modern and colorful. I love the amount of detail the designers managed to put into both the exterior (the facades ❤️) and interior (the little mouse hole in the pet shop 😄), it’s almost like an mini-version of a modular set. I think the tree separate builds would also look very nice connected to each other.
    Also: cute tag at the end of the video 😄

    Thank you for this review, and thank you for explicitly and proudly stating this to be a fantastic parts pack. I could not agree more.
    Other than that, I have always called this Corner Deli on steroids and it really shows, in the fact that it's 24x24 over the Deli's 18x18 footprint; the open corner that isn't going to please everyone; its overall similar aesthetic as well as several small references to not only the Deli's main build but also its alternate builds; the additional colors and details; and twice as many pieces, all in a grand return to the 2014-2017 Creator 3-in-1 building series. I can't wait to see what LEGO puts out next in their return to this series. Hopefully something smaller and more affordable.
    I'd not heard of Trash Vampires before, thanks for the little sample at the end!

    Just bought and finished this set as your review came out (I'm a close follower of your channel). I loved it!!! I think you could also discuss the modularity especially of the largest build. Each floor could be swapped sideways in addition to up/down. The results are surprisingly fun! This is a significant value in my opinion. Besides this, I agree with your mentions of downsides. Overall the ups far outweigh the downs. Thought your tone sounded a little negative overall (perhaps you are disappointed at the imperfections?) Fully agree with you a great set to own:)

    For me this is almost a return to the Bike Shop and Café they've done a few years ago. Which is great, because a few of the Creator sets they've done recently are a bit wishy-washy to me. The perceived value is great here, and it's definitely on my wish list!

Also, regarding the Pet Shop it would have been better if the dog, bird and mouse, were animal molds and not pieces put together. It's not such a big deal since those extras I mentioned can be found on BrickLink, Lego Store and eBay.
