As in a nest IN the flower boxes? Haha, I'll need to add a nest to my list of parts to buy then. I have a nest on Castle Rock near my drawbridge on Brick Nottingham Castle!
I'd lose the lower soccer players. Use them on another building to compliment the advertisement on this building. Great to hear about the bonus episode by the way.
Yes! Makes more sense for the third floor since the second floor one can’t be seen as well once you get the roof on ronin’s. Plus the birdhouse gives a nice visual element for the second level now.
Brilliant idea with the climbing wall to connect the levels, I agree with the majority of the other comments, remove the second soccer players and locate them possibly along another part of the city or the track. Could incorporate the older soccer sets later on down the road to link into those pieces haha
It's good that you have more viewers than subscribers watching your videos, it means TH-cam Analytics is recommending your videos. Keep up the great work!
Gonna miss your Modular Mondays once this building's finished, unless if you have another series/design in the works. Always look forward to them every week. Should make some more lower income area builds like this to add to the realism.
Few thoughts. Moc good. Double advertisements of soccer guys good. 3rd floor build...good. Suggestions. 1) add a bike rack and hang from the wall. We have a lot of spare bikes in our city, sporting goods stores always have bikes. If not in the store suggest a bike rack outside. 2) Yellow boat hanging on the wall. Good. You need something or more specific someone in the boat. 3) you have no balloons in any stores. Suggest you have some in at least one detailing a sale. 4) Suggest a mounted lion or panther stuffed on the wall. It is an adventure store after all. 5) Where are the fishing poles? 6) Need a tile on that railing you installed, suggest brown. 7) Climbing wall good. Colored cheese wedges good. Suggest a second climber, Great build. Love the colors. Not sure how you are going to top this one if you continue the series.
Great job Robin! I really love your modular design, all of the colors really work together and make it pop! I also think the second advertisement is a bit much, I don't mind the first one. Maybe put a window in it's place with a flower box below to kinda spice up the back of the building as well as when you put your other improvements in. I do like the changes you made from the suggestions you get from us viewers and I can't wait for the design videos coming up, awesome job!
Yes, I'm always open to suggestions from viewers. I don't think I'll fit in a big window though as the climbing wall's on the other side. Thanks for your support!
Can't tell you how delighted I am to know you'll be sharing your design process with us! What a treat! But that word "treat" describes this amazing build in every way, doesn't it? I'm so glad your subscriber list is growing. You easily deserve twice as many. (And when word spreads on this handsome modular, you may just find them!) I too would want the 2nd advert placed elsewhere in the city. So far as using that backdoor space... how about a 'hidden oasis' break area for the busy shopkeepers and pharmacist? A little tree, a small table, maybe a couple of chairs... all to make the perfect tea time get away. Sit and listen to the birds in the tree sing their song and maybe catch a ray of sunshine. A tree would certainly appreciate that drainpipe water. I wouldn't be surprised if some flowering weeds sprang up. And I can just imagine the voices chatting up the latest town gossip. (Did you not hear about the man on the ledge in his birthday suit?) As wonderful as ever, Robin! I encourage everyone to join in spreading the word on your fine channel. With the quality of this project, you definitely deserve greater fame!
Awww thanks for the lovely long comment. I don't know if there's room out the back for all that. It's on railway lines in the rough bit of town. I was thinking loads of bins and rats, haha!
@@RobinHoodBricks That works too! Bins and rats were actually my first thought. haha! Didn't realize that rough bit of town stuff. Yeah, better to not put a tree through all that. But now I'm worried the birds will return to their box and find all their furniture's been stolen. :^D
This is such a cool modular. Way more appealing than the book shop. I’d buy this immediately if it was available. Maybe you should rotate a few of the climbing wall wedges to simulate different grab pieces and orientations though!
The book shop is a bit underwhelming isn't it? Especially the insides and the house next door. I will buy this set and see what I can do with it, but thanks very much for your warm praise of mine in comparison!
Robin Hood Bricks No problem- looking forward to seeing you finish it up! Any idea what your approximate part count is btw? Very curious how this compares to the official modulars
How about using some different coloured frogs as rocks on the climbing wall? Often the shapes on those walls are very irregular. I love your videos and this series makes me look forward to Mondays!
I would buy this modular if the LEGO group sold it! What an awesome unique and creative build! My hats off to you and your ingenuity! Thanks for sharing!
It is worth a Lego modular award if you ask me, a wonderful addition to your city... I would have a rack or table for the saucepans though, in all very impressed, really enjoyed watching it come together, excited to see what you do next.👌💕😺🐈👍
Love the entire building!!! So cool!! Awesome use of stickers and pieces from sets like the juniors pieces. I would use the soccer players somewhere else. I’m not a huge fan of them on the building, but it is YOUR building so keep them if you like 💗
great part 6. the top floor is looking amazing. the climbing wall and inflatable make the large walls look busy but full of fun and keep the viewer interested. I think on the back you just want 1 of the ball player tiles and use the second elsewhere in your city. Love the bird house, I have never seen that build and its so perfect for the back of the shop below the window that lets the owner fill it with food. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great builds.
I thought people would like the bird box. Yes, the large items in the shop make it really good fun. I think without set 60202 I wouldn't have known what to do there!
This is a spectacular moc. Your design and detailing are top notch. I really appreciate your ability to take us through the process, without sounding preachy or arrogant. I wondered if you are a teacher by profession? Some builders spend all their time bragging about how big their layout is and do time-lapse to empress us with how much time they spend building.You certainly are a different breed, then many of the “City” types I’ve seen so far. I really look forward to your watching your clips
I'm not a teacher. I'm just trying to make a channel I would want to watch for people who may not be able to do their own city. You're right some people sound like they know best but I try to stay more chilled about it. Glad you're enjoying it so far!
Nice to hear from you hope your well and the city is coming along great. I hope fast food corner gets into a set and congrats for that achievement. See you Friday on a brand new video
Merci beaucoup pour ce gentil commentaire. Cela me donnera de l'énergie pour construire! Thank you very much for that nice comment. It will give me building energy!
I love the build!!! Ijust a suggestion, I think you should ad a few boxes up in that storage area. You really want the shopkeeper to be searching for the product up there since he's a little disorganized.
This is absolutely perfect! I love the little additions, especially the bird house - great use of spare wands. And that top floor is genius as well. I might have added a few stacked cardboard boxes indicating even more random stuff for sale but it seems pretty packed already. Also, the mezzanine level might be slightly dangerous that way and you could probably easily fall off rummaging around up there. Maybe add one of those one-by-six plate pieces with a fence on the side that you usually find on cargo trains. Mostly they're yellow but I definitely recall having one in dark grey - might be the old dark grey though... 🤔 Either way it would fit pretty well under the free edge of the floor there as far as I can see. Could even hold even more additional merchandise hanging off it - like ropes or a griphook.
Cardboard boxes, good idea. Barrier piece (I know the one you mean) excellent idea. I have one in black and that'll look better than dark grey. Consider them amendments for next time, thanks!
Glad I could contribute. You continue to make my creative juices flow. And I'm already looking very much forward to part 8! Thanks in advance for doing that. 😊
That second floor of the nougat color really does pop. Wasn't sure how you were going to do the second floor of the shop but seeing it now - love it! Not having seen the roof design yet, I can't imagine how long this took you to plan out, Robin. The attention to detail has been wonderful and refreshing! I'd comment that the soccer ad board should be on the third floor, and second could be blank. I think that'd call it out more from a further distance around. Fantastic job on this all around, and very excited to see you place it in the city next week. :)
Thanks for the lovely comment, Matthew. I agree with everything you say. The design did take ages. Loads of tiny improvements. I wasn't necessarily going to even build it, but then I started the TH-cam channel and the rest is history!
First of all, I want to thank you for making me look forward to Mondays 😁. Keep up the great work! Your creativity is inspiring. I do have a suggestion. I think your mannequin would benefit from having a small base to stand on. That way he doesn’t look like a creepy masked axe-serial-killer hanging out by the register.
Especially love the Calor gas/Camping Gaz stoves, reminds me of the one Summer I worked on a farm's campsite down in Cornwall, serving in the shop was a big part of it. We sold inflatable boats as well. I think doubling up the advert lessens the impact of it.
Hi Robin, Thanks for the update again, love how the building comes together. Hate how far mondays are apart from each other... 😂 13:35, can’t believe it took me like 4 minutes to realize what was going to fill up that gap... Actually thought for a minute you didn’t realize it was loose or something 😱😂 17:00, I definitely like the bottom sticker. The second one just seems outplaced, doesn’t add anything really. So my thoughts, just put plain white bricks there, or another advertisement. 21:42 I really love that solution with the safety rope you used, job well done!
Thank you for the upcoming methods episode! I'm looking forward to it. I do agree with the idea of rotating the 1x1 handholds for realism and perhaps adding some other 1x1 shapes
The continuation of that beautiful exterior really will make this building stand out in your city. I think you need a railing for your mezzanine though. Love the rock wall!
Great new floor.👍 A good idea that open space with the climbing wall. Maybe also place a kind of open fence at that little storage floor next to that vertical ladder
Well as always another great video! I can start to see how the building will look when it’s complete. I don’t really like the two adds and I think it looks better with one. Wow that climbing wall looks great you could maybe ad a few more steps on the wall because minifigs aren’t very flexible lol! Umm it kinda scared me when he was dangling there. I think the part 8 would be a good idea. Amazing job once again!
Awesome addition again and this is really coming together as one of the best modular mocs ever. Great job and as always thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the next installment for this series and your next city update.
Really good looking. However, I would add a railing on the second floor so the store owner and customers do not fall off when they trip on all of those camping pans.
I do agree, in this case. I find it funny how people's instincts are to fence off dangers even in LEGO form. My railway is completely open, haha. Oh no!
I really love the work you have done here so far!! Man it gives me so much inspiration! One suggestion or amendment to your original plans I would like to suggest and that is just above the other shop that has open space right now turn that into an small apartment. Not sure how that person would gain access but it would look cool to continue. Or a storage spot for said store.
Unfortunately I can't take large suggestions like that as I simply don't have the pieces I'm afraid. I've been acquiring the pieces over several months!
Looks good! I like that the store is stretched over two floors - great idea! The climbing wall is a great idea. I agree that the colors seem to blend together really nicely now - very nice! I think I agree with others that you should move the advert - looks a little funny that there's two identical ones so close together (even though that happens regularly in reality). Maybe if you have another advertisement to put there?!? Roofs next!? I hoped for another floor just to break with the mold of modulars a bit ;-) And congrats - well on the way to 5,000!
Adding yet another floor becomes difficult with access. Anyway, I don't want it towering above others nearby. Yes, subscriber numbers have shot up recently. This series has been very popular!
A small thought I had was Wow that fast food place must make a lot of money to afford a sign like that! :) I like both the soccer player signs .. unless the sporting goods shop doesn't make as much money as the fast food place and can't afford as much signage! lol
I am loving the work you are doing on this build, I do have a few suggestions... first I would change the color of one of the pills. On the front of the Pharmacy to may be Red and White, or Red and Yellow. Second you should add a second railing to the 2nd floor ( 3rd floor) of the Adventure shop. You could also maybe add a few plates with clips on to it to add more gear , maybe a Minifigure torso or a full Snow Suit? Just a thought...
Great build again. Found you this weekend and caught up on a lot of your videos. These modular is fantastic. As a bricklink seller. I love to see bricklink haul videos in the uk as well. Keep up the good work
It is very nice moc with many great details and I love that claiming wall !and curved brown windows on first floor ! and other areas but you repeat in your sets that one round brick around windows ,check onthers technicks and ideas what to use instead to look very nice and professional or just not using anything. But overall very nice moc in great bright colours with great ideas inside the building
Looking really great. I do agree that two of those adds is one too many, but I would remove the bottom one. Adds like that are usually as high as possible for visibility.
You simply have to put this on LEGO Ideas once it's finished. Even if it doesn't meet their criteria and thus unlikely to win, you need to share this marvelous build and let others appreciate it. Plus, it will help your channel reach a deserved wider audience. Congrats on the 5k. 10k won't be far away if you keep this up trust me...
David, you make a good point. I can do it for exposure alone, even if full blown success is less likely. I will explore this when I get some time. Thanks for your support and the gentle push!
@@RobinHoodBricks Honestly, it will really help your channel if nothing else. If I were in your position I'd certainly do it. Easy to do too. Plus I think you should do it even for less 'selfish' reasons as this great build deserves to be seen and appreciated by other LEGO fans unfamiliar with your channel. And you can put modular buildings on the site no problem - confused why you believe otherwise
So, after watching this over and over again and then watching the latest city update this is my thought on the adverts... I’d need to know where and in which orientation the beautiful building would be placed. I like the idea of the top one if it’s visible from the tram height...
Nice video. For what to do with the 2nd floor sign on the adventure store I say swap it and use the print as a bilboard in your city or myabe advertising across from the modular.
New subscriber, thought I’d chime in... I Like the advert on the 3rdf floor. I’d lose the lower one. Looking forward to exploring your catalogue of builds!
A wonderful way to finish the Outdoor shop. Who needs to go anywhere else for their Adventure supplies?! Personally I like the double advert on the back. I think it would look rather bland with a big blank wall. But maybe better to call once it’s in place in the city? 🤷♀️
You're right, it might be easier to decide in situ. The prevailing thought seems to be one good, two bad. I can't say I disagree. It may be better to have this advert repeat around the city. I have three of them, so far!
This build is excellent! Love all your videos. My only suggestion that I didn’t see yet was to either cordon off the ladder to the mezzanine or to have a tilt up mechanism to keep customers out of that area. Liability - you don’t want to be sued ;-)
use the second soccer players around your town on a build board so it looks like their trying to advertise soccer stuff in multiple different places. great video i really enjoyed!
Yes I’ve seen the Cotswold store here but they didn’t have the climbing wall but they had a rocky foot bridge Robin for you to tests out walking boots🤣😂 another level brilliantly incorporated loved the climbing wall of course, also like your double signage I’ve seen that on bldg before vertical advents so keep it imo...❤️💕❤️⭐️👍👍
HiHo Robin Another masterclass in how to build believable Lego buildings. There wasn’t anything here that didn’t look brilliant. The interior detail is very good. I really like the mezzanine floor and how it’s accessed. I remember an Army surplus store in the Old Kent Road, London that had a trapdoor into which the owner would disappear only to reappear with armfuls of ex-military clothing from World War Two. I can still smell the overpowering mothballs! Question: what was the 1x2 tile that you placed on the banister rail? Was it Kendal mint cake? The two posters are a tad too much. I’d remove the lower one! Great update sir. Well done 👍👍❤️❤️
Awww, a lovely comment to receive. The mystery object was just another Adventure sticker, like on the door, on a 1x2 orange tile. Don't know what it is!
It's kinda hard to know about the ads before the roof is in place. I personally like the top placement better than the lower one. Maybe it should have a tiled frame like a billboard?
hi, I was going to say lego ideas as well but you said you can't. I would get rid of the advertising on the second floor and keep it on the top level. You aways want to put the advertising on the highest point of a building to get max exposure. With the second football advert you could make a billboard which stands next to the train line or a road. Again your ideas are fantastic. Will this moc be available to the public? or put it up for sale? Had you looked at doing a patron membership where members can get your mocs or other bonus content.
Thanks for the nice message. No I've not looked at Patreon as I didn't want to look like I was cashing in. Maybe for something people actually want it might be successful. I'll have to consider it. I'll probably make them available somehow!
Robin Hood Bricks I would change it so I did not use nouget pieces as you said they are hard to find. Do you have a Facebook page? You could put the Mocs on there.
Happy Monday wow your build is lookn amazing I mist larst build..I'm trying to have a night. Relaxing no lego Sints got home from casual work. Until I Sean your post Vid. Happy Lego Monday s I luv it. Plus my radio station show on tonight.i like. I just whent shopping an target was open..mini fig I was thinking going into by. Lol. But had to hold my Lego brain back as I got few Lego set there on lay buy .lol. Best ...
Well done, i love that u filled in alot of space :D Climbing wall was very good idea! I personally would have hoped to see at least one fishing rod in the shop but it isn't that important :D Also i do think that the second footall player doesn't fit there. Overall very very pleased to see what you have done!
I forgot to mention why no fishing rods. We just opened a dedicated Old Fishing Store on the beach and the Marina has fishing gear in the Surf Shop and Bait Shop!
@@RobinHoodBricks I watched the old fishing store video after I watched this video and thought: yea that makes sense not to put fishing rods in the store if you already have two stores where you can buy them.
Hey Robin, my apologies for the late comment. Spectacular! TLG, please hire Sir Robin to design the next modular! Now! Just one thing, i believe has been pointed out on several comments...I would recommend incorporating the lower advert (soccer players) into the second floor of the mod, perhaps the staircase, facing into the shop. Thanks again. You have built a great community here!
Why thank you, sir. I'm gonna put the other two around the city to spread them out I think, leaving the top one here. I have three. I'll expect TLG's call. Fingers crossed!
@@RobinHoodBricks Hmmm...Maybe, just maybe...in the spirit of Euro 2020...Sir Robin can grace his city with a football stadium facade and incorporate the other two...hmmm...just maybe...I mean, what is a city without a football stadium...hmmm
@@snap2gridbricks It's a really good idea but I feel it would take the place of about five other facades that, collectively, would be more interesting. Variety is the spice of life!
Robin Hood Bricks I have an idea for your train station! You could have an old ornate station building with a glass rooftop. Similar to London Paddington
Tbh mate, your shops look excellent, however i'd keep the 3rd floor advert of the 2 soccer players and use the plain white for the 2nd floor, the doubled up advert looks a bit repetitive, but all in all, its brilliant 🙂
I like to think that the old explorer doesn't believe in health and safety, so anyone falling off a wall and down the stairs is perfectly acceptable, compared to the dangers of mountains and jungles where he's been.
Loving the build so far and the series on a whole. I really appreciate the thought and effort you go through to achieve all the details in this build and your city, something I hope to emulate in my own city eventually, just getting back into LEGO as a small hobby and the modulars have had me hooked. Looking forward to seeing the digital side of things though, very curious to see how you use the software to plan things behind the scenes. Keep it up 👍🏼
A bird nest would go nicely with the flower boxes.
As in a nest IN the flower boxes? Haha, I'll need to add a nest to my list of parts to buy then. I have a nest on Castle Rock near my drawbridge on Brick Nottingham Castle!
Thank you for varying up the flower beds. LEGO tends to copy-paste them, so it’s nice to see.
I notice that too. They do one and say, make five more identical ones. What?!
The wall is worthy! 😱
Sure is!
I'd lose the lower soccer players. Use them on another building to compliment the advertisement on this building.
Great to hear about the bonus episode by the way.
The second advert is too much, I agree with you. This design video sounds hard to make though!
Yes! Makes more sense for the third floor since the second floor one can’t be seen as well once you get the roof on ronin’s. Plus the birdhouse gives a nice visual element for the second level now.
Yes, spread out the features!
Brilliant idea with the climbing wall to connect the levels, I agree with the majority of the other comments, remove the second soccer players and locate them possibly along another part of the city or the track. Could incorporate the older soccer sets later on down the road to link into those pieces haha
@@CountryLongboarding Yes indeed!

Suggest a second climber,
Great build. Love the colors. Not sure how you are going to top this one if you continue the series.
That's what I'm scared of, peaking early. Haha, hopefully a second well received MOC will prove this wasn't a fluke.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Great job Robin! I really love your modular design, all of the colors really work together and make it pop! I also think the second advertisement is a bit much, I don't mind the first one.

That's a fun idea but all my coloured frogs are in my Exotic Pet Shop (a good video) unless they've escaped already!
Or .. one way with overhang ? Maybe to dangerous 😅
I would buy this modular if the LEGO group sold it! What an awesome unique and creative build! My hats off to you and your ingenuity! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Lil Mac. I've had such lovely comments about it. The roof in Part 7, out on Monday, really caps it off. I'm editing it now!
It is worth a Lego modular award if you ask me, a wonderful addition to your city... I would have a rack or table for the saucepans though, in all very impressed, really enjoyed watching it come together, excited to see what you do next.👌💕😺🐈👍
If you want the climber positioned more accurately turn the neck piece to the front and use a shorter rope piece. 🤗
Done on today's video!

Cardboard boxes, good idea. Barrier piece (I know the one you mean) excellent idea. I have one in black and that'll look better than dark grey. Consider them amendments for next time, thanks!
Glad I could contribute. You continue to make my creative juices flow. And I'm already looking very much forward to part 8! Thanks in advance for doing that. 😊
@@witerabid you do know that this is part 6, right? But those sound like good ideas!
That second floor of the nougat color really does pop. Wasn't sure how you were going to do the second floor of the shop but seeing it now - love it! Not having seen the roof design yet, I can't imagine how long this took you to plan out, Robin. The attention to detail has been wonderful and refreshing! I'd comment that the soccer ad board should be on the third floor, and second could be blank. I think that'd call it out more from a further distance around. Fantastic job on this all around, and very excited to see you place it in the city next week. :)
Thanks for the lovely comment, Matthew. I agree with everything you say.
The design did take ages. Loads of tiny improvements. I wasn't necessarily going to even build it, but then I started the TH-cam channel and the rest is history!
First of all, I want to thank you for making me look forward to Mondays 😁. Keep up the great work! Your creativity is inspiring. I do have a suggestion. I think your mannequin would benefit from having a small base to stand on. That way he doesn’t look like a creepy masked axe-serial-killer hanging out by the register.
Hahahaha. That really made me laugh. Yes, he does look a bit sinister.
So glad I'm brightening the worst day of the week for so many people!
Especially love the Calor gas/Camping Gaz stoves, reminds me of the one Summer I worked on a farm's campsite down in Cornwall, serving in the shop was a big part of it. We sold inflatable boats as well.
I think doubling up the advert lessens the impact of it.
Hi Robin,
Thanks for the update again, love how the building comes together. Hate how far mondays are apart from each other... 😂
13:35, can’t believe it took me like 4 minutes to realize what was going to fill up that gap... Actually thought for a minute you didn’t realize it was loose or something 😱😂
17:00, I definitely like the bottom sticker. The second one just seems outplaced, doesn’t add anything really. So my thoughts, just put plain white bricks there, or another advertisement.
21:42 I really love that solution with the safety rope you used, job well done!
Thanks, Kevin. Yes the climbing wall works very well for something so simple!
A wonderful addition with a lot of cool stuff.
I like to fill up my builds, that's for sure!
This is just marvellous. Very well done!!!
Wait until you see part 7. So happy with it!
Love the design of the burger, fries and shake!
The holy trinity!
Thank you for the upcoming methods episode! I'm looking forward to it.
I do agree with the idea of rotating the 1x1 handholds for realism and perhaps adding some other 1x1 shapes
Thanks for the suggestions, Elizabeth!
The continuation of that beautiful exterior really will make this building stand out in your city. I think you need a railing for your mezzanine though. Love the rock wall!
Me too. Love that rock wall!
this is next level pun intended is fantastic this one of the best builds i have ever seen
Good pun. Well I hope you've seen a lot of builds. That would make my day!
Great new floor.👍 A good idea that open space with the climbing wall. Maybe also place a kind of open fence at that little storage floor next to that vertical ladder
Yes, barrier is in action. That climbing wall so makes it. I love how the two halves meet perfectly!
@@RobinHoodBricks indeed it looks great 😀
Well as always another great video! I can start to see how the building will look when it’s complete. I don’t really like the two adds and I think it looks better with one. Wow that climbing wall looks great you could maybe ad a few more steps on the wall because minifigs aren’t very flexible lol! Umm it kinda scared me when he was dangling there. I think the part 8 would be a good idea. Amazing job once again!
Thanks, Oscar. That is all music to my ears!
i like the fast food sign :D
Yes, it's a fun one that!
Getting better every week, loving modular Monday’s. I would change or remove one of the advertisements but can’t decide which one 🤔
I'm liking the idea of the top one to stay as it can be seen from further away. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Awesome addition again and this is really coming together as one of the best modular mocs ever. Great job and as always thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the next installment for this series and your next city update.
Thanks, David. Lovely encouragement, much appreciated!
Really good looking. However, I would add a railing on the second floor so the store owner and customers do not fall off when they trip on all of those camping pans.
I do agree, in this case. I find it funny how people's instincts are to fence off dangers even in LEGO form. My railway is completely open, haha. Oh no!
I really love the work you have done here so far!! Man it gives me so much inspiration! One suggestion or amendment to your original plans I would like to suggest and that is just above the other shop that has open space right now turn that into an small apartment. Not sure how that person would gain access but it would look cool to continue. Or a storage spot for said store.
Unfortunately I can't take large suggestions like that as I simply don't have the pieces I'm afraid. I've been acquiring the pieces over several months!
it looks so cool!
Thank you very much!
Looks good! I like that the store is stretched over two floors - great idea! The climbing wall is a great idea. I agree that the colors seem to blend together really nicely now - very nice! I think I agree with others that you should move the advert - looks a little funny that there's two identical ones so close together (even though that happens regularly in reality). Maybe if you have another advertisement to put there?!? Roofs next!? I hoped for another floor just to break with the mold of modulars a bit ;-) And congrats - well on the way to 5,000!
Adding yet another floor becomes difficult with access. Anyway, I don't want it towering above others nearby.
Yes, subscriber numbers have shot up recently. This series has been very popular!
@@RobinHoodBricks ahh, I see :-) It looks great as it is!
Good job you never cease to amaze!
Thanks for letting me know!
Just like last time nice and full of equipment! And very good climbing wall, remember don’t fall of !
Let's hope he doesn't. Thanks!
A small thought I had was Wow that fast food place must make a lot of money to afford a sign like that! :) I like both the soccer player signs .. unless the sporting goods shop doesn't make as much money as the fast food place and can't afford as much signage! lol
The fast food signs may be unrealistic but they fuel my addiction!
Wow you are a great builder!
Thanks so much, Elya!
I am loving the work you are doing on this build, I do have a few suggestions... first I would change the color of one of the pills. On the front of the Pharmacy to may be Red and White, or Red and Yellow. Second you should add a second railing to the 2nd floor ( 3rd floor) of the Adventure shop. You could also maybe add a few plates with clips on to it to add more gear , maybe a Minifigure torso or a full Snow Suit? Just a thought...
Yes I'm doing some of those I think, but not the pill as I don't have any alternative pieces that aren't grey!
I found this TH-cam channel 4 years ago i love your vids
Well I started last May (2019) so maybe your mixing me up with someone else? Anyway, glad to have you along for the ride!
Whoops yes im sorry i did it says u made this channel in December (2018) when i click about and look in there
I love the modular you have built it looks amazing
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!
You should have the advertisement elsewhere in the city and put a different one there
Agreed. Thanks, Katmare!
Great 3rd story!
Cheers, Pato!
Great build again. Found you this weekend and caught up on a lot of your videos. These modular is fantastic. As a bricklink seller. I love to see bricklink haul videos in the uk as well. Keep up the good work
I'll do more hauls when I get them. You've either done a LOT of catching up or have even more to enjoy. Lucky you!
It is very nice moc with many great details and I love that claiming wall !and curved brown windows on first floor ! and other areas but you repeat in your sets that one round brick around windows ,check onthers technicks and ideas what to use instead to look very nice and professional or just not using anything. But overall very nice moc in great bright colours with great ideas inside the building
Thank you so much!
Sorry, I'm a Little bit late this week....I love the new level!!! I would say, put the second advert someware else. Looking forward to the next!
There is no pace or watching requirement. Take your take, Mama!
Awesome looks brilliant well done
Cheers, D4!
Looking really great.
I do agree that two of those adds is one too many, but I would remove the bottom one. Adds like that are usually as high as possible for visibility.
Ahh, good point. I was thinking the lower one but you could be right. I'll trial both and then decide!
You simply have to put this on LEGO Ideas once it's finished. Even if it doesn't meet their criteria and thus unlikely to win, you need to share this marvelous build and let others appreciate it. Plus, it will help your channel reach a deserved wider audience. Congrats on the 5k. 10k won't be far away if you keep this up trust me...
David, you make a good point. I can do it for exposure alone, even if full blown success is less likely. I will explore this when I get some time. Thanks for your support and the gentle push!
@@RobinHoodBricks Honestly, it will really help your channel if nothing else. If I were in your position I'd certainly do it. Easy to do too. Plus I think you should do it even for less 'selfish' reasons as this great build deserves to be seen and appreciated by other LEGO fans unfamiliar with your channel. And you can put modular buildings on the site no problem - confused why you believe otherwise
This is turning into one of the best MOC modulars I've ever seen. Have you put this on Lego Ideas to vote on?
Thomas smith he can not as it has stickers from other sets
too expensive!
I'm fairly sure LEGO Ideas doesn't take modulars as submissions. Your vote and opinion are enough for me though, thanks!
Maybe, maybe not. It has as many pieces as Town Hall and not many are that specialist. Loads of 1x1s all over!
They would have to vary the decorations, yes. I have to use what I've got!
One suggestion you could add are some brick built birds to go with the bird box
I think I've got a spare little white bird to put nearby maybe!
You should add some sort of wall or something to the upstairs
A barrier has been suggested. I'm going with that, yes. Nice one!
So, after watching this over and over again and then watching the latest city update this is my thought on the adverts... I’d need to know where and in which orientation the beautiful building would be placed. I like the idea of the top one if it’s visible from the tram height...
It'll be with it's back to the railway on the far side from the beach!
You could add a banister for the top part of the shop with the ladder
Yup, I'm on it, thanks!
Nice job and nice colors. Leave the 2 tiles on each level. I have that same piece.
Yes, it's a fun one!
Cool dude!
Thanks a ton!
Once again amazing brilliant commentary brilliant build just brilliant
Awww, thanks so much. I love these fantastic comments. They make it all worth it!
Cant wait to see the pawn brokers shop roof! I think you should replace the upper soccer players with another advertisement though
Me either. Thanks!
Nice video. For what to do with the 2nd floor sign on the adventure store I say swap it and use the print as a bilboard in your city or myabe advertising across from the modular.
Yup. You're right!
very very very good
Thank you so much!
New subscriber, thought I’d chime in... I Like the advert on the 3rdf floor. I’d lose the lower one. Looking forward to exploring your catalogue of builds!
A warm welcome to you, Ned. Glad to have you and all the other new subscribers along for the ride!
A wonderful way to finish the Outdoor shop. Who needs to go anywhere else for their Adventure supplies?!
Personally I like the double advert on the back. I think it would look rather bland with a big blank wall. But maybe better to call once it’s in place in the city? 🤷♀️
You're right, it might be easier to decide in situ. The prevailing thought seems to be one good, two bad. I can't say I disagree. It may be better to have this advert repeat around the city. I have three of them, so far!
Damn thats really good
Thanks so much, Oofy!
This build is excellent! Love all your videos.
My only suggestion that I didn’t see yet was to either cordon off the ladder to the mezzanine or to have a tilt up mechanism to keep customers out of that area. Liability - you don’t want to be sued ;-)
Health and safety are always a big focus of my viewers. It's good to see. I'll fix it!
because you try to make it as realistic as possible throughout all your builds.
use the second soccer players around your town on a build board so it looks like their trying to advertise soccer stuff in multiple different places. great video i really enjoyed!
Really happy to hear you enjoyed it. Yes, I've got two more adverts for use around the city. Part 7 on Monday!
Yes I’ve seen the Cotswold store here but they didn’t have the climbing wall but they had a rocky foot bridge Robin for you to tests out walking boots🤣😂 another level brilliantly incorporated loved the climbing wall of course, also like your double signage I’ve seen that on bldg before vertical advents so keep it imo...❤️💕❤️⭐️👍👍
Thanks very much for the relentless support, Gala!
Excellent progress. Think the second advert is a bit too much IMO.
Yes, Alan, I agree. Two side by side to extend it could work but the gap makes it disconnected. One will go!
HiHo Robin
Another masterclass in how to build believable Lego buildings. There wasn’t anything here that didn’t look brilliant. The interior detail is very good. I really like the mezzanine floor and how it’s accessed. I remember an Army surplus store in the Old Kent Road, London that had a trapdoor into which the owner would disappear only to reappear with armfuls of ex-military clothing from World War Two. I can still smell the overpowering mothballs!
Question: what was the 1x2 tile that you placed on the banister rail? Was it Kendal mint cake?
The two posters are a tad too much. I’d remove the lower one!
Great update sir. Well done 👍👍❤️❤️
Awww, a lovely comment to receive. The mystery object was just another Adventure sticker, like on the door, on a 1x2 orange tile. Don't know what it is!
It's kinda hard to know about the ads before the roof is in place. I personally like the top placement better than the lower one. Maybe it should have a tiled frame like a billboard?
No space for the frame but I intend to try both on their own. Two is too many!
Excellent job! Looks fabulous. About the advert: I think the second one is too much. Maybe a different print/sticker, but not the same one twice...
Agreed, Thomas. Thanks for the view!
please take down the football posters and maybe it’s a saver idea to add a banister on the storage floor (firefighter tick😅). love the build though 😍
Thanks so much, Tygo!
Love this episode! But in my opinion you should remove the lower advert and put it somewhere else in the city to advertise this store aswell!
I think that's what's gotta happen, Hein. Thanks for the vote!
Also good job on growing to 4.16 subscribers! Your growing rapidly! 😀
Yeah, it's going crazy at the moment. It's 4,600 now!
hi, I was going to say lego ideas as well but you said you can't. I would get rid of the advertising on the second floor and keep it on the top level. You aways want to put the advertising on the highest point of a building to get max exposure. With the second football advert you could make a billboard which stands next to the train line or a road. Again your ideas are fantastic. Will this moc be available to the public? or put it up for sale? Had you looked at doing a patron membership where members can get your mocs or other bonus content.
Thanks for the nice message. No I've not looked at Patreon as I didn't want to look like I was cashing in. Maybe for something people actually want it might be successful. I'll have to consider it. I'll probably make them available somehow!
Robin Hood Bricks I would change it so I did not use nouget pieces as you said they are hard to find. Do you have a Facebook page? You could put the Mocs on there.
No Facebook I'm afraid!
Happy Monday wow your build is lookn amazing I mist larst build..I'm trying to have a night. Relaxing no lego Sints got home from casual work. Until I Sean your post Vid. Happy Lego Monday s I luv it. Plus my radio station show on tonight.i like. I just whent shopping an target was open..mini fig I was thinking going into by. Lol. But had to hold my Lego brain back as I got few Lego set there on lay buy .lol. Best ...
Cool!
This is so awesome! I just purchased some parts on brickLink for a modular skyscraper
Ooooh excellent. Skyscrapers can get expensive. Have you seen my Apartment Tower MOC? It might help!
Robin Hood Bricks yeah, I’ve already bought the parts but it still might be a good moc to base it off of, I’ll keep it in mind
Well done, i love that u filled in alot of space :D Climbing wall was very good idea! I personally would have hoped to see at least one fishing rod in the shop but it isn't that important :D Also i do think that the second footall player doesn't fit there. Overall very very pleased to see what you have done!
I forgot to mention why no fishing rods. We just opened a dedicated Old Fishing Store on the beach and the Marina has fishing gear in the Surf Shop and Bait Shop!
@@RobinHoodBricks I watched the old fishing store video after I watched this video and thought: yea that makes sense not to put fishing rods in the store if you already have two stores where you can buy them.
Hey Robin, my apologies for the late comment. Spectacular! TLG, please hire Sir Robin to design the next modular! Now! Just one thing, i believe has been pointed out on several comments...I would recommend incorporating the lower advert (soccer players) into the second floor of the mod, perhaps the staircase, facing into the shop. Thanks again. You have built a great community here!
Why thank you, sir. I'm gonna put the other two around the city to spread them out I think, leaving the top one here. I have three.
I'll expect TLG's call. Fingers crossed!
@@RobinHoodBricks Hmmm...Maybe, just maybe...in the spirit of Euro 2020...Sir Robin can grace his city with a football stadium facade and incorporate the other two...hmmm...just maybe...I mean, what is a city without a football stadium...hmmm
@@snap2gridbricks It's a really good idea but I feel it would take the place of about five other facades that, collectively, would be more interesting. Variety is the spice of life!
Nice moc
Thanks, Sean!
I understand how hard it is to create a modular, you made an amazing one so many cool techniques!
Robin Hood Bricks I have an idea for your train station! You could have an old ornate station building with a glass rooftop. Similar to London Paddington
Tbh mate, your shops look excellent, however i'd keep the 3rd floor advert of the 2 soccer players and use the plain white for the 2nd floor, the doubled up advert looks a bit repetitive, but all in all, its brilliant 🙂
That had now been actioned. Part 7 will finish it all off on Monday. It looks great!
You deserve way more subs my guy you’re a great youtuber keep it up thanks for the great content 👍👍😌
Awww, thanks for that Happy Knight. That's the sort of comment that keeps me going!
I like to think that the old explorer doesn't believe in health and safety, so anyone falling off a wall and down the stairs is perfectly acceptable, compared to the dangers of mountains and jungles where he's been.
These young whippersnappers are wet behind the ears, what what!
nice building
Thanks a million!
Need to add variety to the climbing wall. Tilting some of the wedge pieces and adding some round 1x1 pieces should work.
Tilting? But they're in nice lines. I'm not sure I could cope with that, haha!
Loving the build so far and the series on a whole. I really appreciate the thought and effort you go through to achieve all the details in this build and your city, something I hope to emulate in my own city eventually, just getting back into LEGO as a small hobby and the modulars have had me hooked. Looking forward to seeing the digital side of things though, very curious to see how you use the software to plan things behind the scenes. Keep it up 👍🏼
It will be interesting to do. I'll also do a general guide to LDD at some point including the basics and tips and tricks!
Looking great as always! I do think the second advert is a bit overkill though. Can't wait to see the finished product! :)
I can't wait to see it in the city. I've waited patiently for weeks and weeks!
well done
You should keep the bottom ad and could make a billboard with theother
I think I agree with you there!
