In contrast, a lower cost version of the set was considered which lacked rear exterior walls, interior stairs, and extra interior walls on the second floor, and had only two minifigures but no bike. One more expensive version had additional café features, dark green interior walls, a bike and an additional minifigure. ĭuring development of this first set in the series, the designer team led by Jamie Berard considered the cost of several options. Many unusual building techniques were incorporated, such as annexes, fanned minifigure-sized skis as decoration, angled corner, and a 3D façade. Some of the set features include a three floor building set on a street corner, a vertical 'Hotel' sign, opening doors and windows, café tables and umbrellas, a striped awning and three minifigures. The set contains 2056 pieces and is recommended for builders 10 years of age or older. It was originally released in April 2007. Construction sets Café Corner Ĭafé Corner (set number: 10182) was the first of the Modular Buildings series sold exclusively through Lego stores. Connectors at the base of the models are aligned for easy connection with other models in the series. ![]() ![]() Īll sets in the series can also be joined together to form a larger neighborhood layout of several buildings standing adjacent to each other. Some LEGO fans were invited to provide feedback and suggestions during the design of the set. These ideas were taken into consideration and a year later the first set in the Modular Buildings series, Café Corner, was released. Some of the common ideas submitted were more town and everyday buildings, structures with more architectural detail, realistic buildings, minifigure scale buildings, solid and enclosed buildings. Adults were asked to share and opinions about what concept they would like to see for a future model from the Lego Group. In 2006, a poll was taken, aimed at the community. ![]()
