It looks like mock Tudor, but the instruction manual states something quite different: "If these walls could talk! Inside and out, the Tudor Corner is buzzing with activity, as it might have been since it was built five centuries ago." mock Tudor dates to 19th - 20th century
Tudor style upper floor on brick lower floor exist in real life (such as the Queen’s chambers in Nottingham, which looks as a plausible inspiration to this set : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen's_Chambers,_Nottingham ). So saying this doesn’t make architectural sense seems a bit uncalled for. I enjoyed your review nonetheless.
Thank you, @SenseiBonaf, for sharing a great example of a Grade II listed building that I wasn’t aware of. However, the Tudor Corner is said to have been built in the 16th century, which is about 300 years earlier than the Queen's Chambers in Nottingham.
It's definitely one of the best modulars ever. First - there are buildings combining such styles in the UK and second - complaining about lego apartments not having kitchens or toilets is funny when most of the previous modulars did not have such as well. Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course but I think you over exaggerated a bit here :)
IMHO going at this with an trained architectural eye is a mistake. That's like a trained railway professional criticising LEGO trains. Unnecessary. I get it, but the critique is misplaced. While I don't discredit your architectural training, I invite you to Dublin or Ireland in general where you'll find several buildings mixing Tudor style with bricks and other elements, exactly like in the set. Is it an architectural abomination? Perhaps, but I guess regular folks don't care as much about architectural guidelines as architects think, and I think that's OK, which is why I think the set represents well the average person's building that several architects contributed to over time guided by the building's owners. People really love this set. I haven't seen so much buzz around a modular building in a while, which says something - LEGO doesn't design these sets for architects. They have a separate theme dedicated to them, that's probably more suited. 😉
I agree with your take on this with the exception of the train comparison. If Lego released a Shinkansen model with an old school steam locomotive, the criticism would be valid because there would be a clash of design and engineering time period, which is kinda what the creator of this video is saying in architecture form.
The first sentence in the instruction manual states: "If these walls could talk! Inside and out, the Tudor Corner is buzzing with activity, as it might have been since it was built five centuries ago." I don’t think this set specifically aimed for a Tudorbethan style, even though it reflects elements of it-hence my critique. They are blending styles from different time periods.
I built this yesterday and I really enjoyed the build and I like the finished model. I enjoyed the ground floor most with the angled design of the inn and how much color is packed into a small space in the haberdashery. I think the use of green heart tiles as ivy leaves is clever too.
nah the tudor corner objectively their best modular yet since boutiqe hotel, the angle, design, color palette, and overall details are just so well thought
The style is mock Tudor, popular much later in time, stone bottom floor and then Tudor top 1 or 2 floors. I can understand why they didn't call mock Tudor corner, sounds like a knock off or a moc!
I love the set, and we are currently working on the middle floor, but I'll admit that I agree with many of your points. And some of your criticisms can be applied equally to many of the earlier modulars as well. But luckily this is Lego, not the real world, and we are free to change the buildings however we choose. After building them by the book the first time I always modify them before adding them to my small city display. Corner Garage had a Veterinarian on the 2nd floor and and apartment on the top floor. In what reality would that happen? In my building the 2nd floor became a auto parts store and the top floor became a parts warehouse for the store and garage. My Boutique Hotel grew wider by a full plate, got a bigger lobby with double width grand staircase, elevator off the back with ground floor doors located under the staircase, more guest rooms, and a taller upper floor. While I'm not certain how I'm going to change this new modular yet, I suspect that the top floor will get a lot of changes, probably taller and I agree that the 4 stud thick wall is poorly designed. Better color integration between sections will probably take place as well. I will likely move the clock maker to another modular, and the cat lady might get merged into my BH as a guest in one of the extra rooms, or maybe eliminated for parts. So I say keep what you like, change what you don't, and make the set what you envision.
@@silverhurst7241 very good way of putting it. For the Tudor portion I plan to extend it to cover the entire floor plate. The blue Victorian style part will go separately onto another plate and be its own modular
Like your style of reviewing sets a lot. Your camerawork, the choice of background music and your script are unique to your channel and make you stand out from other Lego youtubers. Great job 🤗Though I got to say, I catch myself twice looking for my cat, while hearing the cat sounds😂 But still a great modular!!!
But tbf I do not understand all this hype around this set. The design is completely chaotic. I like the separate parts of this set but overal I do not understand what designer wanted to achieve with it. Police Station, Museum, Jazz Club, Boutique Hotel. All these sets has one primary theme. What theme is this set? Idk.
@@GOGYbricks The theme of this set is a building in Tudorbeathan style. It is from 20th century and it is a mock of Tudor. It came after Victorian type building.
In my previous video, I expressed skepticism about this set when the official images were released, so it’s no surprise that my opinion remains quite negative. That said, as mentioned in the video, if you like the set, that’s great! I’m not here to change anyone’s opinions.
@David-qp9xe Get the Boutique Hotel. It has been out for quite awhile now, and will likely be the next to retire. Don't wait for the clearance sale, just buy at full price. Then you'll still have several years to pick up the Tudor Corner.
Thank you for your critique. My set won’t arrive for a few more days and I’m excited to build it. Personally, I don’t understand why everyone is gushing over this set. Form example, the 3rd floor interior is a big miss IMO. They should have committed to making the upstairs apartment fully developed, instead of just a large boring living room/cat space. Seriously, they’ve done more complete living spaces with significantly less area in other modulars. At this point, I can only base my opinion on what I’m able to see from reviewers, etc. But overall, I feel this is a good, but not great modular. It certainly won’t break into my top three.
I'd like to add: I appreciated the observations -- factual and historical -- they actually add to my appreciation of the set. I live in western New York and there are actually much more authentic Tudor homes here -- far the from UK -- in that the distinctive Tudor elements (exposed timber framing highlighting stucco walls) run from first to third floors -- whereas in this set these elements are not only isolated to the top floor but a truncated floor at that...just a little touch of Tudor.
@@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267 Thank you. Fair enough -- but that's not what Lego calls it. My set arrived this week -- I'll see if that distinction is mentioned in the instructions (of course the digital instructions are up now but I didn't check before replying).
@David-qp9xe I agree, too many bad takes for an architect to make unless it is purely bait. I see buildings like this everyday so comparing it to plonking a palace on concrete building is just dumb if he expects people to take what he says seriously
Finally someone spoke up about it. Even though such buildings exist in the real world, but such a hash up of architectural styles does not suit my tastes either. I like the modulars with uniform central building designs like the Brick bank or the police station. Plus the storyline here is a bit lacking, not much to go on
Broooo please stop with the ai voice over. Just record it yourself and your channel will go places. Also record yourself while narrating and talking about the sets… just please
Excellent piece. This set has an initial "wow factor", but fades quickly under closer scrutiny. For me, it's the clock shop that I just can't forgive; it's too quaint and feels wrong for the space. The only way this really works is to combine the middle and top floors into one posh two-storey flat. But then, I don't buy modulars to do major remodels right out of the box, and I shouldn't have to.
I love the look of this set and don't mind the creative liberties taken in its design. However, I'm thoroughly confused as to why there is a cat lady apartment at the top level. And even weirder, why does she need to use the cook's bathroom or pay for food at the kitchen whenever she wants to go to the bathroom or eat? They could have put anything on that floor, and they chose a bathroomless, kitchenless, cat lady's apartment. It's weird and is a waste imo.
I've already ordered this set, and I'm planning on changing the two upstairs rooms into en suite bedrooms as part of the 'inn'. I'm getting rid of the watchmaker's studio and the cat lady's apartment. Just need to find a way of separating the two bedrooms/partitioning them with a small corridor, as I don't like the idea of anyone having to go through one room to get to the top.
@@christinefaulk6531 My first bug bear is modulars without bathrooms. My second bug bear is modulars that have bathrooms but no sinks. I like this set a lot (I've already ordered it) but I'm already thinking of several ways I want to modify the interiors.
Sir, you commented my concerns perfectly. It's too chaotic. When the first photos appeared, I thought it was a Mould King project. I do like the interiors. Second of all modulars I will pass.
My Tudor Corner set (with GWP Corner Kiosk) arrives Tuesday. Sir, you have ruined the set for me. LOL. -- just kidding. But seriously: you make some excellent and pertinent observations. "Missed opportunities" sums it up for me -- and that is the story of my own life! Just the same I look forward to the set but you have made me aware of some relevant issues. I did not know you are an architect -- good to know. Thank you, Lukas -- an insightful and stylish presentation, as always.
Good to watch a contrarian view of this modular. Not my favorite either. Bugs me to call it an inn with a lack of bed for lodging which is what an inn is by definition
As always I really enjoy your videos. I also come from an architecture background and, even though I’m unfamiliar with the Tudor style, it is refreshing to hear your thoughts on this topic. I do agree that it looks out of place when positioned next to the other modulars but perhaps this could be a start to a different wave of European style modulars. As of now every modular has been very New York like so I do welcome some changes. I have purchased this set but it hasn’t arrived yet. Reserving my judgement until it’s built but your criticism seems valid
His comments aren't really valid though, you can walk around plenty of towns in England that have buildings that look like this. I understand saying it looks like a blend of styles but many pubs at the base of these period style properties have dark tile/timber moulded fronts, it's very common and can probably be seen in almost every major UK city north to south in some variation. Stratford on Avon has many examples of brick and timber facades, the fact they put an iconic pub style front on doesn't seem that odd to me
@@L3VV3954 Modern day everything is blended because we are more connected. I think Lukas is seeing it from the eyes of a purist, which I can understand. Regardless, there were some things I've picked up from this review.
@@vietrounder I just think comparing a good representation of a Tudor style building to plonking a palace on a brutalist concrete mess is a bad take and il be honest he kind of lost me at that 😂 I believe the period of history where these types of property were produced (Brick with Tudor gable) was a crossover point in Britain where masonry had become more predominantly used but they still used timber and render for the gable. In fact many modern housebuilders still do this now in the UK. I honestly think if Lego had taken a purist approach and produced a full Tudor building with render and timber to the floor it would look too opposed to the other modulars and they would've ruined it. I personally think they have done a great job of this one but everyone is entitled to their opinion, I just think his comparisons aren't really sensible.
Wow, I really like your videos and your hard work but I can't help but think you over exaggerated here, like it seems you hate everything, the architecture, the minifigures, the building experience... I know nothing is perfect but you really are too picky here, even about really minor things... And you are wrong about certain architectural facts. I really don't understand that much negativity. It is a great modular. But to each his own, I guess...
Correct. Nothing in this review is balanced. I have unsubsribed from this channel.. This is not a serious review. And no Lucas, the Jazz Club is not one of the greatest modulars ever!
Love that you came at it with a critical eye, a lot of your criticisms are valid, would love for a look at how you would do the tudor wall taller, and more efficiently, as I think it would do well in a Castle addition to the Medieval town square. I do think you are right that it would have done better to put the stairs inside, making it easier to blend with other modulars,
Boxing studio in/upstairs of a Downtown Diner? Right next to the recording studio, also in the same building? The prohibition smuggling going on in the same building as a detective's office is hilariously ironic. But still nonsensical. All the modulars have been nonsensical in some way or another. The only problem is the "in-jokes" just aren't there anymore.
Your opinion gets ripped buy hardcore fanbois. You are only allowed to praise the danish company. There is only one brick allowed. One to find them and in the darkness bind them. I think you are absolutely right.
You clearly don't have sufficient knowledge of English architecture. The Tudor style of the top floor of this Lego modular isn't supposed to represent a piece of Tudor era architecture but 'mock Tudor' architectural styling of more modern eras. And, you do see the latter combined with brickwork.
@@ParanormalDramaLlama So maybe this is an opinion of AI then... For us outside Britain, there is British accent. Because is it English, Scotish, Irish etc...out ears aren't trained enough to distinct them, so it is British.
@@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267 English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish accents sound very different and distinct. And they all have their own regional accents within them. There is no such thing as a British accent. Fact.
I don’t like that much this set either, it doesn’t give off the same modular vibe as the previous one. It just feels and looks like a house from Europe, and that’s it.
@JimBobaroni It is hypocriticle way to monetarize. He called some good parts of the design sloppy, which is disrespectful. And he claims to be an architect, with British accent and he doesn't recognize this style. So his opinion isn't justified. It is just his opinion.
@@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267 good point. You can’t say how bad the set is and then put a link to buy it, of which he will make a little bit of money from.
I'd like to see you do videos where you're actually talking while showing your face. As of right now this voice sounds extremely AI, and while its possible the person in the clips are real, I suspect he's just a model. Otherwise why wouldn't you just use your real voice? Something about this channel is off...
Why does it matter if the voice is ai? Perhaps the creator has a thick accent or has speech difficulties and feels he needed a more accessible voice to get his words across to more people. Not everything ai is sinister. There are genuine reasons for using it that aren't all bad.
Imo it's overdesigned when i saw the leak for the first time I thought it was really good, but then the more I looked at it the less I liked it, it's just too much. I do want to see it built in the store before my final judgement but this one is probably a skip for me. Lego is usually the opposite with me, Im ambivalent when i first see a set but it slowly grows on me until i start loving it (the museum). This one was the opposite.
I felt the same way about the Jazz Club-at first, I didn’t like it much, but now it’s one of my favourites. As for the Tudor Corner, though, I don’t think I can recommend this set.
Apparently in the cat lady appartment there is a print which intentionally shows a lanyard that implies the cat lady being (true to life) "neurodivergent". You can briefly see it in the video. I hate corporations pushing wokery down people's throats. Its paternalistic, disingeneous and tiresome. I identify as non-buynary.
I don't like the print because I think this is the type of item that should be an actual piece, but I don't understand this 'anti-wokery' BS. Some of us are neurodivergent. Why shouldn't we be represented?
What in this set is 'wokery' for you? And is it a real word? There are many initiatives to support people with disabilities, campaigns for cancer fighting and against violence against women. It is great that big companies participate in waking up the world.

3:20 but it’s a moc Tudor right? Which is very common in England
It looks like mock Tudor, but the instruction manual states something quite different: "If these walls could talk! Inside and out, the Tudor Corner is buzzing with activity, as it might have been since it was built five centuries ago." mock Tudor dates to 19th - 20th century
It looks more Victorian than Tudor, which places it in line with most of the Lego Modular series.
Tudor style upper floor on brick lower floor exist in real life (such as the Queen’s chambers in Nottingham, which looks as a plausible inspiration to this set : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen's_Chambers,_Nottingham ). So saying this doesn’t make architectural sense seems a bit uncalled for.

Exactly. This guy is a doofus. Literally hundreds of examples with lower brick floors. Maybe thousands.

Love that you came at it with a critical eye, a lot of your criticisms are valid, would love for a look at how you would do the tudor wall taller, and more efficiently, as I think it would do well in a Castle addition to the Medieval town square. I do think you are right that it would have done better to put the stairs inside, making it easier to blend with other modulars,
Great Video!
Thanks!
Boxing studio in/upstairs of a Downtown Diner? Right next to the recording studio, also in the same building?
The prohibition smuggling going on in the same building as a detective's office is hilariously ironic. But still nonsensical.
All the modulars have been nonsensical in some way or another. The only problem is the "in-jokes" just aren't there anymore.
Your opinion gets ripped buy hardcore fanbois.
You are only allowed to praise the danish company.
There is only one brick allowed. One to find them and in the darkness bind them.
I think you are absolutely right.
You clearly don't have sufficient knowledge of English architecture. The Tudor style of the top floor of this Lego modular isn't supposed to represent a piece of Tudor era architecture but 'mock Tudor' architectural styling of more modern eras. And, you do see the latter combined with brickwork.
And he has British accent. I love Brickfanatics review as a Brit.
@@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267 that's not his real voice; it's AI.
Btw, no such thing as a British accent.
@@ParanormalDramaLlama So maybe this is an opinion of AI then... For us outside Britain, there is British accent. Because is it English, Scotish, Irish etc...out ears aren't trained enough to distinct them, so it is British.
@@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267 English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish accents sound very different and distinct. And they all have their own regional accents within them. There is no such thing as a British accent. Fact.
@@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267 this channel uses an AI voice. I don't believe it's his own voice.
I'm unsubscribing, actually I'm not even subscribed to the channel 😅
I love his British narrative….
I don’t like that much this set either, it doesn’t give off the same modular vibe as the previous one. It just feels and looks like a house from Europe, and that’s it.
Why it wouldn't look like a house from Europe? They had a Diner, that isn't Europe's thing.
Feel like this might just be trying to capitalize on the contrarian point of view cus no one else has done it. This is an objectively great set.
It is hypocriticle to make such a disrespectful review to designers and then put an affiliate link.
Why? He justified his opinions in a respectful way besides everyone doing videos try to monetize it in some way
@JimBobaroni It is hypocriticle way to monetarize. He called some good parts of the design sloppy, which is disrespectful. And he claims to be an architect, with British accent and he doesn't recognize this style. So his opinion isn't justified. It is just his opinion.
@@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267of course it’s his opinion. I felt his criticism was done in a respectful way.
@@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267 good point. You can’t say how bad the set is and then put a link to buy it, of which he will make a little bit of money from.
@@vietrounder But it isn't as I already explained.
Funny little video
Thank you
I'd like to see you do videos where you're actually talking while showing your face. As of right now this voice sounds extremely AI, and while its possible the person in the clips are real, I suspect he's just a model. Otherwise why wouldn't you just use your real voice? Something about this channel is off...
Why does it matter if the voice is ai? Perhaps the creator has a thick accent or has speech difficulties and feels he needed a more accessible voice to get his words across to more people. Not everything ai is sinister. There are genuine reasons for using it that aren't all bad.
Imo it's overdesigned
when i saw the leak for the first time I thought it was really good, but then the more I looked at it the less I liked it, it's just too much. I do want to see it built in the store before my final judgement but this one is probably a skip for me. Lego is usually the opposite with me, Im ambivalent when i first see a set but it slowly grows on me until i start loving it (the museum). This one was the opposite.
I felt the same way about the Jazz Club-at first, I didn’t like it much, but now it’s one of my favourites. As for the Tudor Corner, though, I don’t think I can recommend this set.
Too much textures, shapes and colors. Also cat lady and her apartment is a big no for me. I'll pass.
Exactly!
Apparently in the cat lady appartment there is a print which intentionally shows a lanyard that implies the cat lady being (true to life) "neurodivergent". You can briefly see it in the video. I hate corporations pushing wokery down people's throats. Its paternalistic, disingeneous and tiresome. I identify as non-buynary.
I don't like the print because I think this is the type of item that should be an actual piece, but I don't understand this 'anti-wokery' BS. Some of us are neurodivergent. Why shouldn't we be represented?
@GregOrCreg because it is paternalistic, disingeneous and tiresome.
No lego fan cares about the neurodivergent. We just want some cool lego sets with cool figures.
@@VIKA23-qp5dy Says who? And that printed tile is a cool piece.
What in this set is 'wokery' for you? And is it a real word? There are many initiatives to support people with disabilities, campaigns for cancer fighting and against violence against women. It is great that big companies participate in waking up the world.
