The next installment of the intricately detailed Lego Modular buildings has arrived with set 10211 Grand Emporium. The set follows on from other models in this series together with store Street, Cafe Corner, Green Grocer and Fire Brigade which all join together to generate an breathtaking city road diorama.
The detail in these models is breathtaking and sets them apart from quarterly models, as does the average recommended building age. At 14+ these models are more in the league of adult collectors who enjoy the attentiveness to detail and establish and the intricate build.

This set is a model of a three storey department store and its sidewalk entry area. There are escalators, mannequins in the window, revolving doors, clothing department complete with a cash register and fitting room, a glassware department on the second floor and a toy department on the top floor. Face window shoppers can send letters and buy an ice cream and gaze up at the window washer suspended from the top floor. A chandelier graces the ceiling inside while a billboard and skylight sit atop the roof.
The set has an breathtaking 2182 pieces which will give you an idea of how many small embellishments are in the model. Out of all the modular buildings Lego has made so far, this set has the most attentiveness paid to the inside. It is roughly as if Lego initially envisaged this series as being display-only models but then decided half way through to focus on the inside as well, to make them more interactive. There are many small pieces which add a sense of character to the set and give it a sense of being part of a real "lived-in" Lego city.
The model comes with 7 mini figures which isn't a lot for a set this size, but as mentioned earlier the main focus of theses sets is the buildings. The Grand Emporium building measures 15" (38 cm) high and 10" (25 cm) wide and slots nicely alongside any of the other modular sets production an impressive interactive diorama.
