Such a charmer. Creator buildings are always quite good.

Good pick

Such a beautiful set. Just look at those buildings.

The first Creator 3-in-1 set I modularized. Made the café into a bar as there are a lots of cafés around. Looking at it right now and it still fits pretty nicely with the rest of the city.

This is a delight. Small enough to fit anywhere, but packed with character. Man, do more of this, TLG.

Creator really needs to get back to doing these kinds of builds!

One of my favourite sets, and I feel vindicated reading the other positive comments.

It's a charming little set that doesn't break the bank but provides a varied street with nice architecture and unusual and realistically done subject matter such as the bike shop. This was great because it was actually affordable for one with my budget. They are close-backed and all rooms are accessible to figs through stairs and ladders, with two appartments with a rooftop section on top of the café and bike shop. The buildings feel complete and can be folded out to create an impressively long street scene. That option really helps show just how large the set actually is!

I also ended up getting the 31036 Toy & Grocery shop in 2015, the 31050 Corner Deli in 2016 and the 31065 Park Street Townhouse in 2017 which were all in the same style. They can all fold out into a dollhouse style or close up into a complete building. In the years after this 'line' was discontinued until there was a revival with open backs. I never got those sets because the ones I have are plenty and they cost more for buildings that were not as complete. My budget also dried up around those years, and there were more precessing things than toys.

I still look with fondness at these sets. This was from the era when I still had plenty of sets I wanted to buy new and there was a great store in the area that made it slightly cheaper to do so. Nowadays the vast majority of new sets don't feel worth it and don't interest me due to overlicensing.
This line of sets are my modular buildings and these are always a joy to put together again after storing them. On rare occasions I've built the alternate builds too (they are 3-in-1s!), but for this one I find the large pile of parts too much of a hassle to work with to do it again. It was unsorted too when I first built it which I didn't mind, but I don't like sorting again and again.
