Build, play and display. Celebrate life in the 1950s with this everyday scene from a busy downtown street. Reinforcing our point about the “logic” of LEGO Creator Expert modular buildings earlier, every floor is connected by staircases, including the roof, which has an angled set of doors leading downstairs.

LEGO’s modular buildings have always been remarkable for their logical consistency — something that builders and collectors may not have noticed until the logic is broken. Personally, my all-time favorite modular building is 10246 Detective’s Office, with its pool hall, barber shop, and so on. Similarly, 10243 Parisian Restaurant features an artist’s loft on the top floor. The logic of a vet’s office above a mechanic’s garage with a bachelor pad above the vet just doesn’t hold up to the unstated logic of past modular buildings.

The wall turns the corner by having a 1×1 round column as the corner, with the 1×2 rounded plates extending from the column into each connecting wall. The bay window is built using two sand blue train windows on their side. There's a view of the second floor, below, that shows how they are connected. I don't think I've seen them used in this way before. It looks excellent. Here's all the equipment and furniture from the vet's room: An instrument table with microscope, an amphibian tank (there's supposed to be a frog in it but he hopped out when I removed it to photograph!), a desk with very cool lamp, and a operating/inspection table. The bachelor can sit in his studio apartment’s living area and watch shows about bridges (another 2×2 printed tile) on his old-school television with a rabbit-ear antenna. Capture the hustle and bustle of a busy corner garage, with a vet's clinic upstairs and an apartment above that.

A small balcony on the left is accessible via a door by the stairs. The bay window is the work of a genius. More about it below. Bags #3 provide the remainder of the parts for the ground floor structure, the petrol pump and the awning above. One of the more remarkable aspects of the set is how the 1940’s style corner gas station fits with the upper stories of the building. I’m fortunate enough to live in a part of the United States where some of these corner gas stations have been preserved and converted to other purposes (such as coffee shops or micro-breweries — this is Seattle, after all), and I see buildings very much like this one around the city every day.The biker is accompanied by her trusty scooter, looking gorgeous in medium azure (a new color for the scooter piece). As with many buildings in the modular theme, LEGO has continued with the Americana feel. This garage looks like it would belong in many smaller cities in the United States circa 1950. It has many of the things you’d expect to find in a garage, for example: a tire changer, oil cans and tires for sale in the window, a car lift and a tool chest. The vehicles included in this set are a tow truc, and a classic Vespa-style scooter in 322 Medium Azur Medium Azure. The garage also houses the garage attendants and contains everything that comes with them. The sideways ship windows are attached to plates with clips, which in turn attach to columns of telescope pieces (as shown in this photo from the next floor up, which has less clutter in front of the window). The most noteworthy aspect of the whole building is that the entire front wall is built at an angle across the base, using those rounded 1×2 plates we mentioned earlier to connect the front wall to each side. Set 10264 Corner Garage is a 2,569 piece Creator Expert exclusive set with 6 minifigs released in 2019. It is the fourteenth modular building and fifth corner building, released in January 2019. However, the set was moved from Modular Buildings under Advanced Models to Creator Export and was the first of the Modular Buildings to do so. It resembles that of a 1950s-style American building where its bottom floor is made up of the garage, the middle floor has a veterinarian's office, and the top floor is an apartment with roof access.

At first sight the looks of this new modular are a bit bland compared to previous ones, but for the kind of utilitarian building it is supposed to be, I find it OK. It might not blend well with all the MB's, but i.m.o it will go fine with e.g. DO, PS, BB, FB and the likes who also have a bit a rougher look. The fourth set of bags provides the parts for the second floor with the veterinarian’s office. The vet’s office has a large front window with a printed design that reads “Dr. Jones Animal Care: No Snakes!” a sly little Indiana Jones Easter egg.The vet’s office waiting area has two couches, with a resident parrot on a perch and a large fish in a small aquarium. The orange fish in the aquarium is attached to the wall with a Technic pin, and as we saw in the official product photos, tends to want to “float” upside down — perhaps the vet should look into getting a larger tank that doesn’t kill his fish…

Like the recent LEGO Star Wars set 75251 Darth Vader’s Castle, the initial reaction from LEGO fans and collectors has been mixed. But how does the set hold up when we look beyond the box photos and actually start building? In keeping with the theme of being a garage, the parapets used vehicle mudguards and curved slopes which are often used in LEGO on cars. Ok, so it’s not as inspiring as the hero factory fists but it does stay with the theme and looks nice. The rest of the roof is fairly plain. There is a small flower area and a recliner with an umbrella to sunbathe at. The hatchway to the roof though is simple but nicely done in line with that era’s style. Conclusion https://www.google.com/maps/ @51.2090578,4.4488105,3a,75y,220.43h,92.7t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWKl9yb1HJ9IPIVLXfLo41w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 I also particularly like the muted Octan colours of green and red used for the garage which gives it an old-school feel.I think it's an interesting design - it reminds me of an early 1900s factory building (with a 30s-50s garage) - the kind making semi-handmade items like shoes, clothes or musical instruments. I've long thought the modular series needs more industrial buildings to break up the overly gentrified look it has now, so I might add a chimney and some machinery. OTOH my city could use a better vet - the only option right now is Dr. Frankenstein ("Painful experiments while you wait!") above the pet store. The far side of the exam room features a desk with cluttered papers and a lamp along with another desk with a frog under a heating lamp and some medicine bottles. Stairs on the second floor lead to a hatch to provide access to the roof for sunbathing and gardening. The Corner Garage includes six minifigs — two garage mechanics, a biker, veterinarian, young girl, and bachelor. With the vet’s office on the second floor, the set also includes several animal figures, including a dog, frog, rabbit, and fish.
