LEGO Modular Buildings 11371 Shopping Street announced!

If the designers had not included pigeons with this one they would have done poor job :p Nice to get a white recolor, but not unexpected :D

I really like the look of it. Although the brackets used to add the parts filling up the gaps due to the angled walls does make the walls look a little messy in some of the photos.

I have mixed feelings. Some angles look interesting, others not so much and I'm not a fan of the style used for the blue roof. I never buy modulars on day one, so I'll wait for reviews and seeing it in person before I make up my mind.

It looks stunning, but dare I say looks better on its own than as part of a row of modulars? After all, shopping streets tend to have just flush facades, not such weird angles. Now it kinda looks like a inside corner, but it isn't. And that combination shown on the back of the box just looks like a hot mess as a result of it. All great sets, but the sum is less than its parts.

I do like that car from the GWP!

Would likely only buy it ASAP to get the GWP, but I'll be weighing whether it'll be more worth it to catch this set on a discount in a year or so, and buy the GWP with those savings

Thats one of the ugliest renders we had for a while...

Set itself is ok, but nothing special. I dol ike some decorations using new pieces well!

Honestly, I’m not really digging it…

I have almost all of the Modulars but this one will definitely be a pass. Was hoping for a Post Office or Hospital.

It looks like a really good MOC on rebrickable, also not happy with the low quality renders they seem to be using for a lot of the images

Like many, I am disappointed with this one. Having spent the last few months building all the modulars, there's a lot here that has been done before. I also sense they're aiming elsewhere with a parade car GWP and marching band figures. That having been said, I will buy it because I have to have the full set. My biggest issue will be what the actual height is because the LEGO heights for most of the modulars have been wrong (and some very wrong) I will await the full review on here for that information.

Has grown on me as I have scrolled through the pictures.

This really just looks like a MOC someone threw together. Not a fan of the miniscule interiors....have to get it unfortunately, but definitely one of the weaker modulars

@Belboz

DIMENSIONS – When built, this 3,456-piece LEGO® Icons Shopping Street model measures over 36 cm (14 in.) high, 25 cm (10 in.) wide and 25 cm (10 in.) deep

Thanks but I cannot rely on LEGO dimensions. Their past modular descriptions have often been way off.

Doesn't do a lot for me. I've already got some holes in my modular collection and I feel like I have sets I'd rather buy than this.

Hmmm. I like the quirky shape, but the rooms seem small and crowded and what the heck is with an alley that leads to nowhere, that isn't for deliveries or trash pick up or really anything?

Will still get it. And one doesn't need to put all the silly hat on the parade car occupant, so another car for the town will be nice.

I like it. I'll definitely pick it up. They usually get to 25% off so I'll wait for that.

I think it is a stunner, really cool GWP as well but since I don't buy from the official store anymore I'll wait for secondhand-market/Amazon availability

Not too excited by this (despite the modulars really kickstarting my LEGO obsession), but will wait for more in depth reviews for full judgement. As other have already said though, it looks like a Rebrickable moc of a Creator 3-in-1 set, just a bit messy and cramped overall.

I like that they're getting creative with the shapes. I enjoyed that in the build of the Boutique Hotel. At first blush I don't the colour scheme is sufficiently cohesive, but I might come around on it in time. The triangular shapes of the buildings also reduces usable floor space but at the same time increases the price (greater surface area=greater volume of bricks), but I suppose that's what you sacrifice for more interesting designs.

I like it, but not as much as previous entries in this product line. My favorite from the last 4-5 years has been the museum.

Not the worst modular building ever, but not particularly exciting either (except for the angles). And it doesn't look like 3456 parts...

If you're a fan, buy it, if not, don't, it's entirely your choice.

I probably will, but do think there's a tendency recently for the baseplate coverage by the building(s) - not the additional tile usage btw - to be significantly shrinking, and the price significantly inflating. Perhaps someone has already worked that out?

Compared to, for example, Jazz Club 3 years ago, the floor coverage of JC is significantly more, it was still 3 stories and it was £200.

Why another music store? Assembly Square had one! Sure this one is a whole lot better, but the point still stands. Also, I'm not a fan of how that back area looks. You should not be able to see the baseplate, but because of the use of the rounded macaroni tiles, you can. That furniture store is also way too small. You had a massive opportunity to do all sorts of unique side builds for furniture! I don't understand the point of having a small pond between the two buildings either....

Despite it's flaws, I'll most likely pick this one up as I do like it's looks, but at $250 for a single baseplate modular, it might be the last one I do- especially if the trend of revisiting businesses already done becomes a theme. Likely will be modding this one quite a bit.

I noticed the renders seem a little more obvious this time around too! I wonder what the story is there. As for putting this on a shelf, it's marketed to adults and that's how most of us display and/or store them, yes? I always get a chuckle from seeing how they try to convince us their sets still fit into a sophisticated adult space, though. Like we're all supposed to put our plastic pretend buildings next to our Tolstoy and dried flower arrangement and not have it look out of place. LOL

Don't get me wrong, there are far worse Modulars, but this is at best average for my taste.

A Marching Band People Pack would be a fun addition to 2026... the last people pack was what?... 2019?"

As a Band Director I am required to get this set. A Marching Band people pack would be a lot better than the large pick-a-brick order I'm going to have to do in 3 months. Now that Lego has two sets with trombones, they should have just done a new trombone mold. There is one error in the pictures. You would never march with a concert tuba, only the sousaphone. Great set overall!

I am not a huge Modular Building person, but I actually quite like this. It was going to be a hard act to follow after Tudor Corner, but I still feel like the designers did pretty well here. Having just read NewE’s review, I’m pleasantly surprised that the designers put in the 1x8’s and 1x2 grooved bricks to not only make them cheaper and more accessible, but also to call back to a previous Modular which I think is pretty fun. Plus, they’ll show up on PaB. I’m actually pretty surprised at the height, too, and I’m impressed that it’s taller than both Tudor Corner and 10326. Having said all that, I don’t love the subject matter. I love the architecture and the design, but I’d rather get Tudor Corner, or something else. But, if I were a die-hard Modular fan, I would really enjoy this one.

Seems a bit too similar to assembly square for me… don’t think it’s as good as previous years and not sure it justifies another price increase either…

Although i had hoped for something new yorkish big city style for my superheroes, i quite like the European feel this gives me.
The building on the right should be taller (or will be taller if i ever get this set)
The furniture shop/work shop doesn’t really do anything for me, but the wind instruments shop is very cool. Story telling wise as well with the two parade kids.
But what i really dislike is the fact that that alleyway is heading to a garden? That should be a small alleyway where you can find small and strange shops. In any case, it should have had tiles all the way

Certainly not the best, but definitely one of the better modulars. Although I really like the exterior shaping, it's a shame that this will compromise the interior space. As always, the back of the box really does emphasis how poor the Natural History Museum is, especially sandwiched between this and Tudor Corner.

I do know that @Murdoch17 will be getting that car :)

I am glad that it isn’t exclusive to the Modular Building, and I’ve said Jan 2026 is shaping up to be the best in recent memory…

Wow, two sets with brick-built trombones revealed in a few months. Who'd have thought. Also, the GWP is my kind of goofy. I'm tempted to get that one on the secondary market after this launches.

@Natethegreat101 said:"Why another music store? Assembly Square had one!"

You realize that 10255 came out in 2017, and hasn't been available for two years, right?

Well, I clicked 'Yes, eventually' in the poll, but I hadn't seen the price increase, so, no, I might pass this one, and likely all future ones. LEGO, £200 is enough!

Wonder how it will look like on the right side of Assembly Square. The Turrets of both buildings might actually work very well together

I don't think anyone wants more stores. Lego makes plenty of stores. The marching band concept is cute. They should have made this a parade set and given the appropriate pieces and minifigures to have a full parade, that would have been cool. This is boring and WHY IS THE BATHROOM WHERE IT IS?

My opinion: the facade design doesn’t look that memorable compared to other Modular’s, but the building shape is pretty neat.

But the best part (at least for me) is definitely the return of the 1x2 slotted bricks in Sand Green.

For me, there's something wrong with the taller building's colours. It looks boring, not outstanding enough, too "toyish" and snaps me out of the LEGO fantasy world. It seems they didn't have time or budget to create a great colour scheme. I skipped the Museum and Jazz club because of this colour issue as I don't want to spend more money to make it into the colour I want. I will skip this one too.

I like it. I think it looks interesting and like a nice assembly on its own. But I also agree there's wasted space so to speak.
And it also appears that you need to put some thought into what to place next to it. The row with the museum really looks odd. But I suspect any row with the museum will look odd because that building doesn't really seem to fit anywhere: https://brickset.com/article/101547/how-the-museum-looks-with-other-modular-buildings

"This reminds me of Assembly Square. Same 'genre' of Modular, I guess.
It's pretty nice. I would say not as good as the Boutique Hotel or Tudor Corner, but not too far off."

and this costs the same price than AS -_-'

As a brass player, this one is a definite buy for me!

It seems almost like a different scale as the other modulars - the first foor is 1-2 bricks too short.

In contrary to most, I thought the Tudor Corner was one of the ugliest and worst modulars af them all. The building looked awful and the subject matter was boring.
This one however, seems like a step in the right direction again.
There seems to be some good and bad here.

I like the colors and the overal shaping, borrowing heavily from the boutique hotel, but that is not at all a bad thing. This model is very pleasing to the eye.
The wierd corners and angles leave much to desire however: so much wasted and unusable space.
I also don't understand the music store (already had that one) and the woodworking shop (like, what?!).

Actual building look tiny.

Doesn't really look inviting for a shopping street, all the signs are the same gold color and it's not really clear from a distance what's actually sold, and it's called Shopping Street, not "Instrument and Woodwork Shops"

I think even some 3-in-1 alternate builds had nicer shop facades+signs. (but even those have been missing lately, 31141 Main Street was an easy skip compared to 60380 Downtown in the same year)

Building on the right could've used another floor, it's not a corner.

When I first saw this, when it leaked, I wasn't convinced it was Lego because it looked more like the buildings that other building block companies make. But I like it I see the similarity to the Boutique Hotel and I like the quirkyness of the set, how it looks like an inverted corner when it's a straight, the buildings give that illusion, to me, anyway.

Could do with an extra floor to the second building, but apart from that, immediate purchase.

I like the retro car, but the accessories are just spare parts for me.

Funny thing with how different tastes can be.
I'm happy you like it, but my thoughts are almost the exact opposites of yours (except for those about the wasted space).

I've seen bands that march with concert tubas instead of sousaphones.

Mixed responses to this one, to say the least. The only thing I have to say about it, is that I like the GWP more than the modular itself.

Aren't the Modulars designed to put in a row on a shelf? As that is what most AFOLs I know do with them.

I wasn't expecting anything as good as Tudor Corner but I'm actually quite impressed with how good this looks. The only bit I don't like is the large amount of pointless empty space at the back. I like the Vintage Parade Car and am glad it's not linked to the modular since there are several other sets I'd rather get first.

So much negativity, but I like it, a day 1 purchase.
As previously mentioned, a nice return of the 2x1 with groove, 1x8 and 1x3 in sand green. Bricklink prices will take a tumble and those greengrocers will get finished too

The Jazz Club was the first modular I skipped and it's still nip/tuck with the Natural History Museum. I honestly don't know what I feel about this one. I "think" I like it better than those but I also "think" I don't like it enough.

I don't mind a reduction in building interiors so long as it serves some innovative design, like the Boutique Hotel or Assembly Square. I'm not sure this one meets the challenge.

Clearly, though, the designer went out of his/her way to give us Green Grocer love so I appreciate that.

Unlike the kiosk with Tudor, this GWP does not drive me towards a Day 1 purchase.

I'll add this set to my "Wanted List" but I suspect it will sit there for a while...

@dawid said:

Maybe that's why they've put it on a box to display it in the lifestyle photo, to make it appear taller than it really is.

It’s lovely but I’ve got or seen enough shops.

I think a new full plate size department store in the tradition of golden age department stores would be an attractive prospect.

I haven't showed it anywhere, so it is pure coincidence. But damn, that is a remarkably similar floor plan to a MOC-building I have had in the pipeline for a couple of years but never fully finished. Not exactly, but really close. A bit annoyed about that, not gonna lie, but at the same time nice to see that I was on to something.

Will absolutely get this.

The best part of this set is that the parts can be used to build the Green Grocer. This says it all.

I quite like this one. The angles are striking and the colours look good to me. The worst thing about it is probably the cramped interior, but it's not a dealbreaker IMO.

It isn't quite as good as the Tudor Corner, but it's definitely one of the better ones.

And talking of baseplates LEGO, stop saying the modular footprint is 25x25cm. Baseplates are 25.5cm square. You'd know this if you'd ever tried fitting 3 modulars on a BILLY shelf and found you were 0.5cm out.

"I dare say this is one of the best Modular Buildings ever. Very impressed!"

Not even close, pal. The most expensive per volume of stuff for sure, but far from the best. This here wastes a lot of space with the "plaza" and alley so that the rooms are tiny. Very basic figures and few decorations or Easter eggs. I really don't see where 3500 pieces are used up in this. Must be all the 1x1 tiling.

I deffo would prefer if the buildings where square on the baseplate with more volume on the interiors, but still think its an excellent addition to the Modular collection

Impressive. Day 1 purchase which does not happen too often in my case.

Surprised at the negativity here, this is not my favourite, bu it's far from the worst!
Seems a bit like assembly square on a smaller parts budget would be my biggest complaint but I like the shapes and the overall design. Undecided on this one, I'll be waiting for the reviews.
I do hope the people who moan about the GWP being unnecessary aren't the same people who moaned last month about GWPs being essential to the build ??

Worst modular ever, maybe apart from market st, if you count that. They had so many options and went for something that is a hybrid of recent modulars. The angled approach vastly reduces the real estate available. For me as I owe every modular, Lego have missed the mark here. My guess this will be discounted very quickly through which ever retailer they allow to sell it, normally John Lewis or Argos

Was not expecting to see relatively little enthusiasm to be honest. But I was very lukewarm on Tudor Corner, so maybe I'm just the opposite of the average AFoL.

Love its elegant look and crazy angle alleyway but it overall reads like a support character that echoes other modulars and adds interest to street's overall look rather than something with a strong presence on its own. I think this is good timing given that the other current/recent modulars have been pretty bold, but it also makes it lower priority.

See, sets like these are why I'm happy I never got into Modulars. Imagine getting FOMO over -this- set. It's not bad, but it is overwhelmingly underwhelming.

As an aside, I do like the focus on musical instruments, but again, these particular builds just aren't great. I think we could've done with some specialised moulds for the instruments, especially since apparently we needed that trombone-build AGAIN, and also because... a few years back, we HAD some perfectly servicable trumpet-moulds.

TLG, are you okay? Is all of this just moving too fast for you? Slow down. Take a breather. Everything is happening so much, I get it, but maybe think this through.

Well, I've changed my mind. I was going to turn in my points to get 10326 for free but this one is far better than that so I'll wait to buy the abomination of a museum later. Maybe it will go on sale next Christmas so I won't have to pay full price for a set I hate.

Getting it to keep the completionist streak but this is by far the weakest entry in the series by far. It seems to be only meant to show off weird angles and techniques and at the same time completely forgets the story element it had before. Quite chaotic, repetitive from previous modulars and missing a wow-factor.
Perhaps they should go back to their roots and revisit the simpeler style like 10197 , 10218 or 10224 .

I think it's great! The two buildings have a lot of character and the odd angles and alley seems very old city to me. This one's going to be making good friends with 76218 41711 and 10243 in my town.

I’m not at all bothered about interior space as I stopped ‘playing’ with my Lego about 40 years ago. I’d always take an exterior with quirky angles and a variety of different architectural styles at the expense of usable interiors.

I understand the larger scale and the price jump, but I don't love it. lol.

I think overall the set looks decent enough, but it does seem like something is missing. And maybe that's just because it doesn't feel as robust for the price and piece count (because of the angles).

I love the instrument designs, so those are a must find/build.

But I may have to pass on it. I've collected almost all of them, but have passed the last several (outside of Tudor Corner). Same goes with Winter Village, I used to get them yearly and the last several have been meh to me. Same with CMF line. Oh well. It's how it goes.

Is there a point where references to the wooden duck become old hat? Or do people go as nuts for it as they do for any droplet of Classic Space?

If the Boutique hotel and the Pizzeria from the Jazz Club had an illegitimate child - this would be the result.
Not for me at 1st glance.
Another price increase too, which is disapointing.

"I want to know who displays their books with the spines facing the wall."

People like myself who purchase books with fancy sprayed edges... and marketing people who don't want to pay for the licensing / copyright fees if they show the spines!

Have to see when I build it, but I suspect I will be editing this one so that the alley sells that it should connect to the alley for another set. First thought was 10255 Assembly Square, but that will likely look better connected on the side of this. So next thought is 10246 Detective Office, but likely won't line up.

Really neat design. The dynamic angles including a covered alleyway make for an extremely novel layout, which is easier said than done in a series that's gone on as long as this one. The colors aren't super exciting (I was sort of hoping for the new warm pink or bluish violet to be used somewhere on the new modular as well), but again, after 15 years of modulars there's bound to be overlap. The GWP looks lovely as well.

I like the looks of it, but with this design you lose a lots of " inside" space to work with.

That's one huge coffee mug.

Averaged out, this does feel slightly high, although throwing out Market Street, this is pretty in line. I’m pretty surprised at the Boutique Hotel, but the discounts on that set have been pretty remarkable. Do what this what you will, but it still feels ok. Although, the Canadien price is pretty high this year.

What is going on with the “it looks like a Rebrickable build”, as it’s meant to be an insult? Do we not like that site & the builders anymore? There’s always complaints of “I’ve seen better MOCs” whenever the new Modular gets revealed. Now….comparing it to MOCs is an insult….

I'm sure Blue Brixx and/or a Chinese knock-off brand will do something more to your tastes.

How much wasted space in the back area!?! It comes off as lazy and unfinished leaving the baseplate showing. “I know, pop a few lack lustre ‘plants’ on there and we can say it’s grass!’

There just feels something off about the overall ratio/balance of the buildings. I’m all for innovation and breaking the norm but this feels a little too desperate to tick those boxes. Adding up the space out the front and the rear it equates to pretty much 50% of the baseplate!!

It’s all just a bit meh :/

It's ugly, I find Assembly Square to be nicer looking.

I'm sure Blue Brixx and/or a Chinese knock-off brand will do something more to your tastes."
Maybe, but I have enough official Modulars still waiting to be built (Bookstore, Police Station, Tudor Corner, Corner Garage, even Assembly Square) that I wouldn't need to get this new one even if I found it awesome.

There is a really cool unofficial Post Office Modular though that I have seen a couple of years ago. Don't know by which manufacturer it was made though.

"I dare say this is one of the best Modular Buildings ever. Very impressed!"

Cafe Corner will always hold a special place, but this one is sure one of the very best! LEGO modulars steal the show everytime!

"How much wasted space in the back area!?! It comes off as lazy and unfinished leaving the baseplate showing. “I know pop a few lack lustre ‘plants’ on there and we can say it’s grass!’"

Every single non-corner modular so far has had the baseplate exposed in the rear. This is nothing new.

"I do know that @Murdoch17 will be getting that car :)

I am glad that it isn’t exclusive to the Modular Building, and I’ve said Jan 2026 is shaping up to be the best in recent memory…"

I won't be getting the car in the GWP set directly, but parting it out will be another matter... I'm currently thinking on how best to redesign it to have an actual roof and / or possible color variations.
