Creating a NEW LEGO CITY LAYOUT!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ย. 2023
- In this LEGO City update, I made some huge changes! I started by removing a bunch of structures - that freed up 13 baseplates! After that, I shifted over the residential buildings and rearranged the downtown core. The new less crowded block layout has longer roads, more sightlines, and is less crowded. In addition to completely changing the layout, I also added the Ninjago District back to the city! There is still a ton of work to do but I am pretty excited about working on this new layout!

It looks so much better!!! Love the placement of the taller buildings. Great job!
Amazing job Jordan!
Awesome new layout. Now I see the importance of mils. The easy switch-a-roo making different layouts throughout your city.
The Minifigures have braced themselves for yet another rearrangement of their entire world
I love watching you rearrange the city. If the zoo wasn’t so attached to its position, I’d say put Ninjago back there, almost like it’s hidden. But no matter what, you inspire me to grow my own city, so good job!
Fantastic! The previous layout was great but this one feels so much more open and lets buildings like the Avengers tower stand out. Tbh, I like where the kwikemart is below the train tracks. 😊
I like this layout. It opens everything up. You can see the mountain view obs., the castles, the amusement park, Ninjago mountain, and everything without having to bend and weave or pop up thru holes.
Got to agree that the tall buildings at the back look great. I used to laugh about a year ago when you said that you had nearly finished the City. I always used to say that just like a train layout a Lego City is never finished. You don't seem to mention finishing the City anymore!. As more Lego arrives it will always change so never be finished.
Cheers Jordan and many thanks for what you do.
I’m glad you are doing what makes you happy. It doesn’t matter what the crowd thinks , you need to do you. Tfs
Exactly this
Just an idea to put the construction site by the avengers tower. It can act as though a battle took place or the city is being built up to the sky scraper height.
I know changing all of your city on to MILS was a pain for you back in the day, but wow it's paid off - can't believe how much you've changed in 1 day and it looks great. I personally also really like the sitcomplex next to the bowling alley - can imagine Thor nipping in for a game when he's finished chilling on the roof :)
Looks so much better, the new layout makes the city seem much more open being able to see through the longs strees, while the old layout kinda cut you off with the horizontal street
My thoughts is remove quickie mart, move Venetian houses there. Plus some green /water space. That way all the water houses are within the same block or two. Nice job. I also would move the town hall block with the diagonal alley block. This would line up pop culture. The construction site isn’t very pretty from the room entrance view. I appreciate that you aren’t afraid to move around everything…and basically having to redo a lot … mostly roads.
kwik-e-mart defniitely needs to go. It's too prominent in this city from the camera positions we are constantly seeing. Need something far grander there.
You could place the Venetian houses where the track is
Looks amazing! I do think ninjago city looks pretty out of place though. It either needs to be right against the left wall by the docks, or maybe at the back. It may look more natural with the monorail running between the two halves? Keep up the good work 👏
Definitely think that the change is an improvement for video capture. Possibly, could you maybe swap the zoo and ninjago city locations, not sure of the size but that would help with sight lines and bring the zoo to more prominence
The botanical gardens look great looking down that street, more central and it’s a real focal point
I love that Diagon Alley gets a more prominent place! The city does need a gas station. I'm in favor of leaving the Kwik-E-Mart. Love the new layout!
For a city that size the hospital needs another floor or two, loving how the city looks though! You could also reduce the size of the Kwik-E-Mart by removing the parking lot and making it a walking entrance instead.
LOVE THIS LAYOUT!!!
Looks good this new way! Much better sight lines I think after seeing the before and after. It didn’t look bad though before. Nice job dude! 💪
Looking good liking the changes. Seems bigger with taller buildings in the back. Keep it up bricksie
About the Daily Bugle, recommend putting the DB sign on the back side as well.
Also, be entertaining to have Santa and 8 reindeer on the chairlift.
Love the new layout! You could build like a Central Park-type area behind the Botanical Garden. Maybe make like a big stage with a rockband playing on a podium/stage. Would look very nice and an easy way to get more population in the city.
Btw, some people seem to get "angry" sometimes in the comments, it's Lego people. Nothing is or needs to be permanent. When I make MOC's, they are never finished. I like to improve them all the time. So just do your thing, Jordan, you do a good job 👍
The taller buildings are much better on this new position. They still kind of hide the medieval area and the park, but as most of the time we visit the city in motion, it's not much of an issue. Everything is more visible now.
One thing that came to my mind seeing how those placeholder roads looked like: maybe as a project for when you have a bigger area, have some sort of wide road / boulevard, with 4 lanes and an arborized central area.
I like the visuability but I was great fun off the height off the old lay out. I personally loved the skyscraper layout more, but it’s also cool to change ones a while.
Layout looks great
Ninjago back in the city is awesome
I'm liking it. The Daily Bugle and Avengers Tower look good in their new location. I think the Hospital should be near them instead of up front.
I would love to see the skyscrapers moved to the far right of your room, under the shelves. Then transition to businesses like the bowling alley, gas station, hospital, etc. Next would be residential buildings, with the amusement park beside the beach, campsite, and zoo. Better sight lines, and more logical layout. I would also remove the Venetian houses. Just my thoughts.
I'll be honest, i was a little nervous at first. I really liked the old layout. But, I definitely like this one better. I love how the city has a gradual incline in the height of the buildings and like you said: "a cleaner look". Glad you're happy with the new layout as much as I am!
could always put a billboard on top of the octane gas station to kind of block those blank walls
I think a giant scaffold billboard on top of the gas station in between the police station and the modular station would look awesome
Taller buildings being towards the back was a great change. Would the bowling alley work where the botanical garden is perhaps? Adding in Ninjago City was great as well. Looking great
Yeeessss! I think organizing the city with that grid is a great success! Now you can see more facades of the buildings, although I would change the location of the Palace Cinema because you can see the empty back of its tower. Including Ninjago City is ideal!
You could do some custom billboards or just cool Lego advertising on those two flat walls by the Octan gas station. 😊
for the big flat walls above the gas station you could maybe try to add a billboard or graffiti/mural, which is pretty much how a real city uses that space
The taller buildings towards the back look better since it opens up the front more and makes the whole space look bigger.
Hello, awesome new layout! As a European fan and because you are testing some new things I wanted to share my opinion on what makes a lovable city in my country, it might give you some ideas 😉
1) use a less roads as possible. Use one way roads or walkable lanes instead. This will open you so much space and give you room for more stories.
2) it's OK to have a lot of buildings and a lot going on, this will make your city more lively.
3) skyscraper are good to give the city some heights but don't put too much as it will block the view on the rest of the buildings. This will also allow your skyscrapers to pop more.
That's it for me, of course the most important thing is for you to have fun!
I love the new layout! My boys will be excited to see Ninjago in your city! 💕
I think u should take the build of the construction site and complete it use the base to create an actual skyscraper
Also if u modified the spring lantern festival to be on water plates u could place it around the ninjago area the aesthetic of the 2 could blend together fairly seamlessly
Two changes I would do:
I like the new positioning of the Avengers Tower but, since it is a 4-sided building, it is a shame to loose two of the four sides. So, I know you need space but you could move the Ghostbusters HQ somewhere else, give one extra baseplate to the avengers tower and centre it on the block, making it accessible from three sides. It would give it as bit more attention, which would be justified since it's the latest set. Also I like the fact that the buggle and the tower are blocking each other. You don't loose almost any view of the city.
The other thing I would change is a building that I don't really feel like fits the city anymore. It's the university. It feels out of scale. I mean, it's based out of a gothic cathedral, so I think it would be about at least half the size of the bigger buildings and way bigger than the normal ones. It's a university/cathedral. It needs to stand out in the city. Not to blend in, I guess.
Besides this, I think everything looks great. Just sad to see some of the cool buildings go away, but thats the way to go, I guess.
you should put the Octan gas station in the big open residential section. since its so short in stature, it looks kind of weird next to huge buildings
It looks a lot better
Looks great Jordan!! Love the way the buildings all look now. It really does help make the city look less cluttered on screen. (I can see what people were saying when watching on my phone today , i usually stream to my tv. ) i also really like that you can see the back raised platform more now, bc that looks so cool and there is so much work you did back there!!
Had a thought about those two blank walls looming over the Octan gas station. What about getting some custom printed static cling billboards to stick there? Something that would be easy to peel off if you wanted to part out or modify the buildings - but it's pretty common to have those kinds of walls sold for advertising; so you could advertise, say, your amusement park there.
I'm so glad you re-added Ninjago City. They're such beautiful sets and add such a nice pop of color to your city. Removing some of the chairs on the chairlift is a great idea too.
looks fantastic! i love the reintegration of ninjago city into the layout
Looks cool! I would think about switching the construction site with the Sanctum Sanctorum: Since the incomplete frame of the constructed building kinda ruins the 'hidden' nature of Diagon Alley. Plus, wouldn't it make sense that there's a whole magical street hidden behind the Sanctum? Super convenient when Doctor Strange needs to go shopping.
Wow! Looks great, and the addition of Ninjago adds a lot of color!
Why does it make so much sense that diagon alley is next to a construction site, some muggle kid “look mom somethings flying” “no honey it’s just the crane”
Much much better. Avengers tower and daily bugle stand out a lot more
13:50 you should create your own billboard for the top of the Octan gas station, its downtown and a small building like that would 100% sell their roof space for adverts. Plus it will cover up those walls.
14:07 could the bowling alley sit behind the hotel, or would it be too deep?
ok, last thing... how crazy would it be to raise the land all the way around Ninjago city and making it seem like its a sunken city?
Dude, the city looks a million times better already. Less clutter and the visibility improvement in places is insane. Such a good idea to reconfigure!
You could combine Diner and Quick-E Mart and let them share a parking lot to make space too.
long time viewer, first time caller, hello from vancouver. YES this is the way! interchangeable blocks, nice height gradient across the city, and including the ninjago stuff! chef's kiss
This is awesome! Great job, I love how packed and stacked everything is.
I do have one suggestion. Could you put an advertisement on the back of the garage set overlooking the gastation? Similar to the advert on the police station. Anywho, great video!
You could create a massive sign with advertising on the gas station and/or on the back of the corner garage and police station to fill that space.
The last layout was so much better. It felt cozy and a place where i would want to spend time.
This new layout is great, but I don't like position of Brick Bank next to a Diagon Alley. I think, some smaller corner modular will fit there better.
Layout is getting better. Really wish all your buildings weren’t similar in height. The daily bugle IMO is too tall and takes away from the grandeur of avenger tower.
You're going to have to build a big barn in your backyard. Then you don't have to remove stuff. You can build a whole State/Provence without compromise.
Overal it looks a lot better. The big buildings being in the back make a huge difference.
I'm personally not a fan of the farm - both the way it looks, but also its location. I think having a park area there (maybe even incorporate the Spring Lantern Festival into that because the aesthetic sort of matches the Ninjago area, heck maybe even incorporate the Zen Garden as well) would look much better. Also removing the Quick-e Market would allow you to really incorporate the water into a park area. You could maybe have some smaller modular type stuff on the downtown side in that case.
Lastly I would personally eventually remove all of Diagon Alley and make it into its own thing; it just looks a bit weird where it is in the city and feels out of place imo.
Keep up the awesome vids!
The avengers tower really does steal the show in any layout. I found myself unable to stop looking at it whenever it was in frame. Can’t wait to order it tonight!
I'm so happy because you returned lego Ninjago city
I think ninjago needs its own separate diorama, otherwise looking good, although i say bring back the full pop culture street! 😄👍🇬🇧
Something to consider to see if it works is to move the bowling alley over by the parklands at the end of the residential street in front of the access hole in the far left. So, you could make a U shape of buildings with the diner on the left, bowling alley at the head, and I would maybe think about putting the quick E mart opposite of the diner. You could then sorta have parking spaces servicing all three that would potentially free up additional base plates because there would be less need for parking space in front of both the quickie mart and the diner. Maybe consider reducing the size of the baseplate the quickie mart is on to free up more space to boot
The bowling alley sorta fits in a more residential space and would add a little height over there without blocking anything and also fits into the “recreations” space that exists over there.
Not sure how you would want to do the road between the residential and forests. Maybe a single lane?
But wanted to also say thank you for all your content and everything you do to make the channel welcoming. Love seeing y’all’s day to day with the family as well as all your hard work with the lego city.
P.S. I like the imagination station. If it’s not in the city, any way to display it in the lego room? I’m guessing not given space constraints.
Y’all take care!
Great work, looks better this way! The one thing I would move is the construction building, it doesn't really match the vibe of Diagon alley. I'd maybe put the University or Gringott's if you plan on MILS-plating it.
It’s so nice seeing ninjago, I only started watching around December last year so didn’t see ninjago. I don’t really like any other Lego theme other than technic and speed champions so it’s cool
Like it like ittttt. More vapable of seeing thr whole city itself. Nice job
what if you get rid of the farm and put the bowling alley by the kwik-e-mart facing the residential district?
I really love this change! Well done!
I really like the switch train track idea you had.
Excellent improvements to the city, it was a little crowded before, hard to see everything. The chair-lift is moving very smoothly, it is a great highlight for your winter village. The ice rink is pretty epic as well, yet another highlight. Great to see all the updates!
nice changes! congrats! maybe you can use the big walls of the building to make some murals! just add vertical plates on the flat walls and make some dots work! they can fix in the city covering empty walls and adding somo colorfull art! thanks for sare your work!
Love the new layout❤🎉🎉
Looks awesome! I’m still in confusion about ninjago city but let’s see what it turns into :)
I love this layout Bricksie
Great changes and looking forward to the future!
That looks so, COOL!!!
Love the updates. Favorite being the replacement of the Simpsons and Home Alone. They were so out of scale. Love Ninjago coming back in. I think the half base plate next to avengers tower should be used to create a bigger base for Avengers tower liked you talked about previously. Having a massive tower with such small sidewalk relief, I dunno. Keep up the great work.
You should create a billboard on the gas station to block the empty walls
With the empty space youre train tracks run through (next to the ninjago city area), you could create a little ninja forest and let youre train run through it
I love changes! Always a fan of more green space. You are a legend good sir!
Amazing job Jordan! Thank you for the passion you put into the city
The city looks great. Thanks for all your hard work. ✊🏽
Love the new layout.makes more sense!
Ps. Glad Ninjago city made it back 😊
I love your vids. I look forward to them. Wish I had the room to do a city.. thanks for sharing.
If I ever go to Edmonton could you invite me to your house to see your LEGO It's so cool
I love that Ninjago has returned
Love the new layout! Definitely better sight lines throughout
Love the new layout.
The new layouts looking great!!
Definitely looking better, particularly without the high rises blocking the view. I love the fact you're not afraid to try different things - whole point of Lego is that you can keep changing it. If something doesn't quite work, change it! Great video as always.
Love the new layout. I like that you put the taller buildings in the back. And I love that you put Ninjago in the city. I like the Kwik-E-Mart but I like the idea of the water connecting with the ocean. What if you moved the botanical garden and maybe the Spring Lantern Festival to that area and made a huge green space? that had water running through it?
Or what if you swapped Ninjago city with the campground?
The city looks definitely better but I still think that the hospital should not be placed up front and be one of the first things one sees when entering the room; it is blocky and its colors do not fit with the rest of the buildings around it. There are "nicer" buildlings that could be placed there. Also, move the bowling building closer to the beach area, maybe where the residential houses are currently placed.
Love that you changed the roads back. The city is more open and I can see the buildings better. Great job.
Very exciting changes. I'm looking forward to how it all evolves. Best wishes.
Kudos for challenging yourself! Great work dude! Its gonna look awesome and better than ever for sure! This is LEGO: build, rebuild & repeat! I imagine that a city of this size is all about iteration. Trust the process.
One suggestion for later: The bike layout could be optimized as well, going only from one park to another, passing through a station… something like that, more like straight lines or T-shapes instead of passing all around the block like in the City Hall and his beautiful fountain square. I think robbed the vibe of the small square being surround by bike lanes.
The city overall looks much much better.
If I may suggest, the Farm should be removed from the city. It doesnt really make much sense for it to be in the center of a city, around buildings anyway.
Don’t forget to move the levitation over to the tower 😉 and what about making some destruction story to the road near the tower?
I love these change videos. So entertaining to watch. I like the new prospective from the back. The hospital tho, it’s kinda of blocking and doesn’t fit from beach view back (where you usually film)
