Set Facts
- The set was designed as an 18+ modular.
- The instructions manual has a chronological timeline featuring wireframe designs of all the modular buildings, beginning with the Cafe Corner and ending with the Police Station.
- In the manual, the designer, Chris McVeigh, talks about the set's narrative which is about how business is slow at the newsstand, so the owner steals doughnuts via the hole in the room above the shop to create headlines and thus sell papers, while the police investigate the crimes.
- Police Station was designed by LEGO designer Chris McVeigh.

Police Station Reviews
BricktasticBlog
“This is a really strong modular building. I'm a huge fan. I'm a huge fan of Chris McVeigh, so knowing he was doing a modular was really exciting. There's a ton of colour and interesting features, a beautiful looking build and loads of detail. I like having a back story to... More these sets. It makes them so much more interesting and ‘alive'. It's big, uses some interesting new techniques – the vine, stairs, and water cooler, and is a lot of fun to build.”

“Seriously, a near perfect set, this is the unicorn of LEGO. Whether a modular fan or first time modular building you will be very happy with this set. Packed with 'wow' moments and fun little moments, countless times I stopped building to just admire a technique or detail.”
