Cafe Corner, Green Grocer, Fire Brigade and Grand Emporium


Above: Four buildings from the series include, (from left), the CAFE CORNER, the GREEN GROCER, the FIRE BRIGADE and the most recent release, the GRAND EMPORIUM.

Large Architectural Building Kits from Lego®

This posting features images of the large building kits from the manufacturer designed primarily for experienced and/or adult builders.

Below: The CAFE CORNER model which has been discontinued. This building has three very detailed exterior floors but came with absolutely nothing inside.



Above: The GRAND EMPORIUM is the most recent addition to this product line and has three floors of retail space which are nicely detailed and decorated throughout.


Above: The FIRE BRIGADE has two floors and includes a vintage fire truck. The interiors of both floors are highly detailed with cool furnishings including a ping-pong table upstairs.


Above: The GREEN GROCER has a pleasing sand green color scheme and a very detailed store on the first level. The two levels of living space above have a few details but are not completely furnished. The third floor has a lot of space taken up with stairs to a roof deck, (not visible in this image).


Above: The four buildings as a street-scape, shot from slightly overhead to display the roof-tops. We added the tree and palms visible in the back of the structures and we changed the small coffee mug on the CAFE CORNER signage to a red Scala® coffee pot.

Lime Pizza Parlor Building

Lime Pizza Parlor Building

This project was designed and built by Brick Trick artist Trick Richey. The Lime Pizza Parlor building has a restaurant on the first floor and mezzanine, and a third floor which remains unfinished though could serve as an upstairs apartment. The roof and floors lift off to reveal the interiors.
