About this deal

Bags #3 provide the remainder of the parts for the ground floor structure, the petrol pump and the awning above. 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.

Stairs on the second floor lead to a hatch to provide access to the roof for sunbathing and gardening. The fact it's a corner building, with a garage forecourt in front, has reduced the surface area of the actual building considerably but nevertheless I feel that what space there is has been put to good use. Perhaps the interior is not as detailed as in other modulars but I think what's been provided is adequate. Mid-level animal clinic features an examination table, parrot perch, fish tank and a waiting area with sofa, armchair, table and flowerpot, plus the animal doctor's desk lamp, microscope, mug, newspaper, envelope, scissors and syringe. LEGO Bookshop & Town House set This LEGO modular building set for adults comes with a plethora of decorative elements and quirky details, from the basement, through to the living space, reception room, up the staircase and a mezzanine, to the loft bedroom and down charming gardens. This set makes a great LEGO gift for adults! It's a challenging build with playful and nostalgic details and an impressive addition to any LEGO collector’s display. Connect the bookshop to the LEGO Creator Expert 10260 Downtown Diner and 10264 Corner Garage (sold separately) to create your own surprising street scenes.Anyway, after something like 6 hours of building, another hour or so photographing and post-processing and a couple more writing it, I'm pleased to be able to bring you this review so soon after its reveal.

The sixth and final set of bags includes the parts for the roof, which is a fairly simple construction with details largely focused on the studs-out cornice. Like last year's 10260 Downtown Diner this one takes inspiration from 1950's USA but unlike the diner, buildings with garages like it probably don't exist any more. The little girl has a long braid and wears a striped pink shirt printed with a cat design. The man who lives above the vet’s shop wears the cableknit sweater first introduced in 21310 Old Fishing Store, while the vet wears a doctor’s coat.

There are two mechanics and a dog who work in Jo's Garage on the ground floor. Maybe it's old man Jo who it's named after or maybe young Jo. If the latter, the boss is not afraid to get her hands -- and face -- dirty by the looks of it. Both the second and third floors include a bay window on the right side, above the garage door. The bay windows are built from pairs of boat bridge windows on their sides, with a central 1×2 column of windows to fill the gap. Ultimately then, whether you choose to incorporate this latest building into your modular collection becomes a matter of taste and aesthetic preferences rather than anything that is objectively better or worse about 10264 Corner Garage. Is it my personal favorite? No, not necessarily. But I do think it fits well with the new, fresh direction that LEGO began taking with Downtown Diner, and I’ll be interested to see where the theme heads in the years to come. 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. The colour palette changes now to dark orange and sand blue for construction of the first and second floors.

Here you can see the inside the bay window. The train window assemblies are held in place by the grey telescope pieces at the side. Scottish Highlands Postcodes (IV, HS, KA27-28, KW, PA20-49, PA60-78, PH17-26, PH30-n 44, PH49-50, ZE ) 48 Hour Dispatch Only two of the minifigs have alternate expressions. The female mechanic has a smiling face with smudges of oil or grease as well as an alternate face that looks determined. The young girl also has a two-sided head, with a small smile on one side and a sad face on the other (since she’s taking one of her animals to the vet). 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. Roll up the door to access Jo's vehicle workshop, complete with tire mounter and working vehicle lift.

Customer reviews

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. 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. The floor is divided into two: a waiting room on the left and the vet's room on the right. A fish tank, which you can't see very well at all in these pictures, is mounted in the wall above the single-seat chair in the waiting room. When it's released on 1st January 10264 Corner Garage will be the 14th modular building to be produced since the series started in 2007. They all have their own unique style and colour palette but they all take inspiration from a bygone era when buildings were more than just a steel frame and plate glass. 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.

One of our favorite details built into the garage is this rolling tool cabinet, which uses 1×2 plates with rails to evoke the drawers.

Bag 6 – Up on the Rooftop

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). Also, having more variety in any body part gives kids more incentive to mix and match figure parts as another form of creativity. More featureless parts reduce those creative choices far more than stuff like makeup, facial hair, or gendered clothing styles that are a genuine part of how real-life people express themselves.
