The Brothers Brick
10260 Downtown Diner brings 1950’s flair to Creator Expert modular buildings — “Each January, LEGO releases a new Creator Expert modular building. With 10 years full of European-style architecture, replete with curlicues and fluted columns, the line heads in a new direction this year with 10260 Downtown Diner, taking obvious inspiration from the... More American West of the 1930’s through 1950’s rather than pre-crash Paris or London (or even New York or Boston). 10260 Downtown Diner includes 2,480 pieces with six minifigs and retails for $169.99 in the US (with the usual regional price differences elsewhere).”

Brick Architect
“Maybe my low expectations set Downtown Diner up for success, but whatever the reason, I really love this modular. Building it was a wonderful experience, heightened by the several clever bits of element usage. The three floors of the building varied nicely, and I was glad to... More not see another apartment included as one of the upper levels. For these reasons I give this set our ‘Highly Recommended’ (4/5) rating.”
