LEGO 10264 Creator Expert Corner Garage, Workshop and Vet Clinic Set with 6 Minifigures & Animal Figures, Modular Building Series, Gift Idea

Product Information

I think it's an interesting design - it reminds me of an early 1900s factory building (with a 30s-50s garage) - the kind making semi-handmade items like shoes, clothes or musical instruments. I've long thought the modular series needs more industrial buildings to break up the overly gentrified look it has now, so I might add a chimney and some machinery. OTOH my city could use a better vet - the only option right now is Dr. Frankenstein ("Painful experiments while you wait!") above the pet store. Set 10264 Corner Garage is a 2,569 piece Creator Expert exclusive set with 6 minifigs released in 2019. It is the fourteenth modular building and fifth corner building, released in January 2019. However, the set was moved from Modular Buildings under Advanced Models to Creator Export and was the first of the Modular Buildings to do so. It resembles that of a 1950s-style American building where its bottom floor is made up of the garage, the middle floor has a veterinarian's office, and the top floor is an apartment with roof access. I think waist printing is suitable for many types of clothes specifically fitted for an hourglass look, particularly the original forms of clothing that introduced that type of printing (bodices/corsets). But it can definitely be overdone as well, particularly when used for articles of clothing like clothes that might not look any different from one wearer to the next, like a loose cloak or a bulky mascot costume. https://www.google.com/maps/ @51.2090578,4.4488105,3a,75y,220.43h,92.7t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWKl9yb1HJ9IPIVLXfLo41w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

When complete, the second floor has a waiting area for animal patients and their owners, as well as an examination room with a variety of equipment. Notice how the LEGO designers have used 1×1 round tiles as well as corner wedge tiles to accommodate the off-grid construction of the walls. It becomes apparent later during construction: it fits on to the underneath of a 4x4 round plate so is effectively a turntable bottom. It's used under the petrol pump island. I appreciate that the scooter girl doesn't have those needless waistlines, it unnecessarily limits the use of otherwise gender-neutral outfits like the S5 Zookeeper, the S13 Archeologist and the S15 Animal Catcher.What strikes me as funny is the amount of people now complaining about the rather basic interior, while with previous MB there were comments about the fact that to much focus and pieces were going to the interior... Ultimately then, whether you choose to incorporate this latest building into your modular collection becomes a matter of taste and aesthetic preferences rather than anything that is objectively better or worse about 10264 Corner Garage. Is it my personal favorite? No, not necessarily. But I do think it fits well with the new, fresh direction that LEGO began taking with Downtown Diner, and I’ll be interested to see where the theme heads in the years to come.

Customer reviews

The Corner Garage includes six minifigs — two garage mechanics, a biker, veterinarian, young girl, and bachelor. With the vet’s office on the second floor, the set also includes several animal figures, including a dog, frog, rabbit, and fish. Bags #3 provide the remainder of the parts for the ground floor structure, the petrol pump and the awning above. The overall floor plan of the top story (bag group 5) is essentially identical to the middle story with the vet’s office, minus the central dividing wall perpendicular to the front wall. This makes the top floor fairly wide open, focused more on the interior details to which we’ll return later in this review. Like the front wall on the ground floor, this next floor follows the same off-grid angle, using 1×2 rounded plates to connect the wall on each side. To fill in gaps on either side of the angled wall, there are columns with a row of 1×1 “double-cheese” (or “tent”) pieces in light gray. The walls look flat as a result, with a column of 1×1 pieces providing an accent — a remarkably clever way of filling what would otherwise be an unsightly gap. The bay window is built using two sand blue train windows on their side. There's a view of the second floor, below, that shows how they are connected. I don't think I've seen them used in this way before. It looks excellent.
