The Brothers Brick
“Like 10270 Bookshop, it features two buildings, but they're integrated with each other rather than being on separate baseplates. Many LEGO fans have asked for another side-by-side pair of separate buildings like 10190 Market Street (2007). However, I'm not convinced that the... More extra modularity is worth the tradeoff in parts from the interior walls, resulting in a much smaller build than most other recent modulars.”

“As far as the Creator Expert modular buildings go, I like the Bookshop but it is not my favorite. After the completeness of previous sets, this new kit did not meet my expectations. It looks great from the outside. Additionally, the interiors are nice. But there are key... More features I feel are missing. Also, the set only comes with five Minifigures. For a set this size, I expect more. In the end, you get two nice buildings at a great overall value. I still recommend the Bookshop. However, if you are down to a choice between this set and any of the others from the last three years, I would choose one of the earlier installments.”
