Looks good, personally I would keep the snow around the house as it's so iconic to the movie then blend it with white studs into the surrounding green. Also as the house is already raised 1 brick I would have set it straight on the baseplate and used the MILS system to make the basement 1 stud "underground".
Here I am at age 38, completely captivated by a man’s struggle to decide whether or not to shift his Lego dollhouse by 2-3 inches to accommodate a gap for a minifig risk the awkward shaping of the front patch of his plastic grass. Things that only Lego fans can appreciate. Great vid as always.
I have a city of my own… pretty expensive not going to lie even with my $65,000 salary a year lol expensive but it is amazing !!!!!! If you do start with Modular’s and road plates then you keep growing
Taking the snow away not only removed the home alone feel but the planes trains and automobiles vibe as well. Not feeling it. I do however feel like they should have made snow accents as opposed to just blanketing the roof with white. So some modifications may need to be made to mine as well. Impressed by your MILS work tho man. Well done.
I would prefer the Home Alone House in it's original theme, you could have had fun doing a snowy MILS plate with ice. I think the winter decor is iconic. I do love to attention to detail on the garage, nicely done with that.
I’m surprised you didn’t take advantage of the MILS plate system to lower the house, or at least the back part with the basement, so it was more below ground and realistic. The advantage of the MILS is to allow you to do these types of things and create different layers and details.
You have superheroes, flying viking ship and flying spaghetti monster, but having one house covered in snow is unrealistic, cause there is no snow in your lwgo city?! You could say that the house is stuck in time or something. Without the snow it's not the same.
The McAllister house looks absolutely phenomenal! Especially beside the Simpsons house. I love the curved drive way and how it perfectly bends onto the road. You're really good at converting sets to mils and making them 10x better!
A lot of the personality for the set is the theme and season, otherwise it’s just another house. The logic of no snow in the rest of the city isn’t really a factor when so much isn’t realistic to begin with. Your city, your rules obviously, but sometimes it’s good to break the logic and embrace the personality of a set.
Looks great mate but something at the start of your video made me giggle you said it doesn’t make sense for snow to be just on one house,i think given you have a flying ship powered by screaming goats 🐐 and countless other unusual stuff it would have been fine to have a cloud of snow over the one house 😃
Looks good , but I would have prefer the snow/christmas mood to be kept. If the same universe city can live together friends/ harry potter/simpson/marvel heros etc etc i think we can have a house cover in snow all days of the year :)
The front driveway is awesome! Love garage MOC suits its new mils really well. Wasn't going to buy this set, but now I see how it can change, maybe I should.
I think a winter Christmas section in the LEGO City would look amazing, then you could include the winter Home Alone House and all the Christmas village buildings all together.
Cool! Yeah you definitely had to take out the snow from the mcalister's house otherwise it does not look good.I think that you should just keep it the way it is don't move the house over any studs.I wouldn't.
Hey Jordan! I was thinking, for that small sloped part infront of the garage, maybe change it to dary bluish grey so it matches the driveway. Other than that, amazing vid.
I love the McAlister's house this way. I like the black slopes in the roof, they're a similar height to black surrounds of the main floor house windows. They tie it all together really nicely I think!
Looks great! Excited for the rest of the residential area to come together too. Unsolicited suggestions: maybe a banister on the back stairs of the McAllister’s house. The access holes are smart, and will keep you young! With that said, I thought it might be cool to have a simple pull away panel in place of those holes for your over view shots. I’m sure you could have a quick way to pop them in and out if only for some cool shots anyways.
0:46 or you could use your imagination and say this is an enchanted home, like a Sanctum of sorts. I'd rather cover everything else in the city with the snow rather than get rid of the Xmas decorations on one house, haha.
I still struggle to see one house covered in snow while the rest of the houses on the same street have a full blown summer going.., and living in a city at sealevel would be dangerous i think. Have you considered to make more elevations in your city? Sealevel should be lower in my opinion and houses with snow on should maybe be at the mountain? Just a tougth ☺️
Sry, didnt see the whole clip cuz this city looks worse now than 3yrs ago and it hurts my eyes to see how things just keep getting dumped in the city. The nicest builds being under the city does not hjelp. 1/3 of the city is an amusementpark, 1/3 is a campsite/forrest and 1/3 is a marwelcollection, i dont understand where the CITY comes in. About the sealevel: RobinHood bricks and alot of other lego builders got it done on a much lower budget.. but theres a difference in beeing a creative builder and just another collector like Bricksie. Building a good lego city is all about having a good eye for details, and the only one in the Bricksie household having that is the mrs. she made Vinnie the pooh set look so much better, before Bricksie messed it up again.
Why not have snow on the base plate like a pond but snow which melts before it reaches the edge of the base plate It's the whole point of the home alone house, or it's just a random house.
Nice dude. I think you did great. Maybe a third row of windows on the garage to make it taller. And what about light blueish gray for driveway instead of dark bluefish gray, just a thought but looks great!
can i just say that im so happy you connected the tables... things like adding detail to the simpsons and McCallister house are now possible and look awesome
The break in the white line or yellow lines on the side and center of the roads is only at the intersection of a street and not at someone's driveway if you want to keep with real world lines on streets. Great job on the garage, I've been thinking about adding a garage to the Flintstones house as there is one in the cartoon.
Looks great! Super nice work with the garage and the driveway. Though here's an idea... why not swap the houses over? Simpsons on the right, Mcallister's on the left. Puts them in the Flanders position of the 'more well off' neighbours, and it means the treehouses can see eachother without the garage in the way. Plus, they're both 4 baseplates right? So it should work without any further alterations.
I love it, I found one on marketplace I'm hoping to buy, I don't even like the movie I just like the house. But I personally don't think taking the Christmas out of the set is really important. I mean unless you're going to change EVERY house for seasons, I don't think you need to remove the snow or the lights. You could even add snow to one or two houses to make it work. But I'm loving the MILS I love the garage addition!
looks good, i would have used another road plate for the floor of the garage though so its level with the rest of the driveway right into the garage vs the hump to get up into the garage and just filled in around the road plate with dark grey tiles as needed and built the garage around it
Looks good but there are several things you need to fix to make the house more accurate. The garage is a gable roof, meaning it comes to a point in the center. The garage is not a flat roof. The winter scene is what makes the Home Alone house the Home Alone house. As someone else already pointed out your city is about fantasy in many places. Are the Simpsons realistic? Nothing about LEGO is realistic so why draw the line at winter? Isn't it about fun and enjoying yourself? Don't see the need to spend $100+ on roofing when it is already built. Don't forget to add stone work on either side of the walkway at the sidewalk.
Looks great! A bit of a different MILs plating experience so thanks for sharing the steps with such great detail. The yard and garage look great. Can't wait to see the finished product when the new roofs are on. I think it makes good sense to get rid of the snow.
looks really good...I like the black roof of the garage but if you want to change it maybe dark grey would be the way to go...sometimes you don't know until you actually do it physically and see what it looks like in real life...all in all well done Jordan...btw you are part of my everyday morning routine as I wake up and make a cup of coffee and then go to my mancave and watch your latest video...every day
At first I was hesitant to seeing this put on MILS with the alterations you did but after looking at it in its' completed form, it's quite good. The garage is a nice addition. I'd say leave the roof white as you can pass it off as it not being snow but being the color of their roof. Great job nonetheless.
As much as I cringed when seeing you remove all the snow it aurally doesn't look bad. When I start to build the home alone house i may find an easy way to add back the snow and decorations during the holiday
It looks cool, but I’m kind of sad the snow is gone. Perhaps you could have kept the snow if you added onto the set by building a snow blower or two to explain why there is snow at just this house.
Have you thought about raising the house so it aligns with the kitchen and basement entry on the back? I’m curious if that messes up anything with the build.
Really like the improvements you made. Garage looks great. Do not remember the garage for some reason. Like the way you think thins things through. Great video.
Great work with the milsplating and the garage ! I personally prefer the old driveway entrance than your new dark grey big tile. But it's my opinion. Keep up the videos if you can with the twins (before they begin to crawl 😜)
You should make an area in the Lego city with the arctic Lego city sets and move the home alone house to that section so you can keep the home alone theme
Someone said the house could have been placed right on the baseplate, as it's already raised up a bit for the mechanisms underneath, and I agree. However, I think it all looks pretty great like that. If your plan is to rebuild parts of the set to make it fit in with the rest of the not-winter city, that will be cool. It's been a bit of an eye-sore. I wonder about expanding the back yard onto the plates behind it, just to give that extra space in front of the big wall panels. I think the garage looks great, and I love the shelving and details inside it. As for how close it is to the house, I think that's fine. I know from experience, buildings don't always have enough space for a person to get between them. The door in the side is a good touch. (Though, that's the fanciest side-door-in-a-garage I've ever seen. :P) Also, story-telling opportunity: I dread to think what would happen if Kevin and his new neighbour Bart teamed up. I think it's important that they be up to something together, though.
yo man. this really completes the home alone house. i would also like to have this. do you know roughly what you used here? I would like to order those bricks via the lego site.
Looks good, personally I would keep the snow around the house as it's so iconic to the movie then blend it with white studs into the surrounding green. Also as the house is already raised 1 brick I would have set it straight on the baseplate and used the MILS system to make the basement 1 stud "underground".
I agree, my head-canon was that they didnt get the snow off of the roof coz they were away
Here I am at age 38, completely captivated by a man’s struggle to decide whether or not to shift his Lego dollhouse by 2-3 inches to accommodate a gap for a minifig risk the awkward shaping of the front patch of his plastic grass. Things that only Lego fans can appreciate.
Great vid as always.
Facts.
the whole yard could have snow. its not like superheroes are real and you have them in the city
Whatttttt superheroes are real
Add Mr. Freeze in front of the house, he's creating the snow. :D
@@Bricksiethat’s what I’m saying!!
looks really good man
Love these videos u inspired me to start a Lego city
same
I have a city of my own… pretty expensive not going to lie even with my $65,000 salary a year lol expensive but it is amazing !!!!!! If you do start with Modular’s and road plates then you keep growing
@@Robles2891 Don't just stick to modulars! Other brands have cheaper base and roadplates!
It’s my dream to have a Lego city like this one day
Wow the home alone house looks so good with the garage! It’s crazy how much better a driveway can improve a lego set!
The home alone house is such a cool set. The Home Alone movie are some of the best.
In Australia we have white tiled roof’s so you don’t need to change it. We don’t get snow. Just don’t think of it as snow, just a white tile.
Taking the snow away not only removed the home alone feel but the planes trains and automobiles vibe as well. Not feeling it. I do however feel like they should have made snow accents as opposed to just blanketing the roof with white. So some modifications may need to be made to mine as well. Impressed by your MILS work tho man. Well done.
Time for a winter village! It would make a great video for Christmas. Big LEGO winter village community out there. Great build either way
I would prefer the Home Alone House in it's original theme, you could have had fun doing a snowy MILS plate with ice. I think the winter decor is iconic.
I do love to attention to detail on the garage, nicely done with that.

The Christmas Wreath on the front door could be made seasonal just change the stud in the middle. It looks great.
You have superheroes, flying viking ship and flying spaghetti monster, but having one house covered in snow is unrealistic, cause there is no snow in your lwgo city?! You could say that the house is stuck in time or something. Without the snow it's not the same.
Totally agree. It is no longer the Home Alone house.
I agree, it just becomes generic house in Lego city. This whole thing is a fantasy land so having snow on one house is no big deal
Came to comment exactly this. It's a lego city, it doesn't have to make sense. Should leave the snow on it
No
I was going to say the same thing, but you said it perfectly already...
You should have a winter zone with the winter village houses that way you can put the home alone house there and the snowing sets
Keep the snow! There's also no real Diagon Alley, yet there it is! It's Lego magic! Leave it alone! Lol
You need the wall bits with the lamps from the set on each side of the path to the front door maybe in front of the drive like in the film.
Looks good. I'd keep the snow and just pretend there's always a snow cloud over the house. LOL
The McAllister house looks absolutely phenomenal! Especially beside the Simpsons house. I love the curved drive way and how it perfectly bends onto the road. You're really good at converting sets to mils and making them 10x better!
It’s fantastic 🎉🎉🎉
Well done, Bricksie!
Approved :)

Your city, your rules obviously, but sometimes it’s good to break the logic and embrace the personality of a set.

Looks great, ❤ but I think you should texture the path as it looks a bit plain rn!

The the work bro! Thanks for sharing your passion with the world and keep it up! Congrats on the twins, too!
Looks cool good job😃
The house looks great but the driveway looks like it’s part of the road. The Simpson style driveway seems more realistic
Maybe for that stone walkway you could use grey ingot pieces?
I think a winter Christmas section in the LEGO City would look amazing, then you could include the winter Home Alone House and all the Christmas village buildings all together.
Being from Minnesota, Christmas equals snow. But for those live south and west, they don't get snow for Christmas.
The McCallister house is awesome!
Cool! Yeah you definitely had to take out the snow from the mcalister's house otherwise it does not look good.I think that you should just keep it the way it is don't move the house over any studs.I wouldn't.
Hey Jordan! I was thinking, for that small sloped part infront of the garage, maybe change it to dary bluish grey so it matches the driveway. Other than that, amazing vid.
The LEGO City looks incredible! In my opinion I really like the black roof to the garage
its a litle bit wierd that kevin has a scarf on him when its summer
I love the McAlister's house this way. I like the black slopes in the roof, they're a similar height to black surrounds of the main floor house windows. They tie it all together really nicely I think!

I’m sure you could have a quick way to pop them in and out if only for some cool shots anyways.
I think I would make garage by 2 studs shorter to make just a bit bigger gap from the house.
The garage is a fantastic touch! Well done! It was also cool that you've changed the pieces according to the season. Thanks for Sharing!
0:46 or you could use your imagination and say this is an enchanted home, like a Sanctum of sorts.
I'd rather cover everything else in the city with the snow rather than get rid of the Xmas decorations on one house, haha.

he literally said he'd be changing the snow in the video.... as for the ocean, it would be time consuming, part intensive and unpractical

CHALLENGE: When Christmas rolls around you should try and add all of the snow and Christmas Dec's back onto it but revamped
You can add a river behind McAllister house and simpson, it would looks nice 👍
Yeah, I would have kepted the house the way it was. Nothing wrong with the house having white around it, makes it unique.
looks really good...I like the black roof of the garage but if you want to change it maybe dark grey would be the way to go...sometimes you don't know until you actually do it physically and see what it looks like in real life...all in all well done Jordan...btw you are part of my everyday morning routine as I wake up and make a cup of coffee and then go to my mancave and watch your latest video...every day
I like what you did with the McAllister house. It looks awesome.
It looks so cool. It's difficult to incorporate large homes like this and the Simpsons in a Lego city. You did an amazing job with these two sets!
Love the house and garage! Thanks for sharing the update.
The curb appeal is amazing. Nice garage!
Love it, love the mils plate grind
Finally! A project I can do
At first I was hesitant to seeing this put on MILS with the alterations you did but after looking at it in its' completed form, it's quite good. The garage is a nice addition. I'd say leave the roof white as you can pass it off as it not being snow but being the color of their roof. Great job nonetheless.
Would love a griswold house and Christmas story house. Future development I hope from Lego.
It looks fantastic
awesome video jordan the home alone house looks amazing on mils great job
Looking good, I like the garage addition
This is brilliant! I’ve just received the Mcallister house for my birthday. I can’t wait to build it!
Definitely looks better now.
I wouldn't change the roof color. Leave the white it's how it's intended to be. I dont think a grey roof will work for that house
That looks incredible!!
Do you have instructions and parts’ list for the garage?
As much as I cringed when seeing you remove all the snow it aurally doesn't look bad. When I start to build the home alone house i may find an easy way to add back the snow and decorations during the holiday
Looking good! Really well done!
Just put a Mr freeze next to the house, that way you can justify the snow
Your Lego city is insane!!! It just keep getting better, keep it up!
Tbh black looks good for the roof of the garage so if you still decide to switch the house roof you should keep it black
Looking superb my friend you are doing an amazing job
Excellent job yet again, it looks much improved. I'm definitely with you on the dark grey roof it will fit in so nicely with the city 👍
It looks cool, but I’m kind of sad the snow is gone. Perhaps you could have kept the snow if you added onto the set by building a snow blower or two to explain why there is snow at just this house.
That looks so damned good! I think that might be one of your best updates yet sir! Good use of mils plates for sure.
Have you thought about raising the house so it aligns with the kitchen and basement entry on the back? I’m curious if that messes up anything with the build.
Really like the improvements you made. Garage looks great. Do not remember the garage for some reason. Like the way you think thins things through. Great video.
You should add some snow on the other buildings in the area of where you put the house so It looks like the area is snowing
I mean, having ninjas, and super heroes, and everything else isn't realistic either. I'd keep the snow ;)
Great work with the milsplating and the garage !
I personally prefer the old driveway entrance than your new dark grey big tile. But it's my opinion.
Keep up the videos if you can with the twins (before they begin to crawl 😜)
You could have left the house completely stock, and then added a snow making machine MOC in the backyard! :P
looks incredible!
Keep garage at 24x16 THE WHOLE THING LOOKS GOOD!!!!
The house looks good
Ahhh man I couldn’t do that to the house, it’s Christmas soo needs to have snow 😂
Looks good but I couldn’t do it
Watching your videos got me to buy my first big set, the Daily Bugle. I just started building it.
You should make an area in the Lego city with the arctic Lego city sets and move the home alone house to that section so you can keep the home alone theme
I just finished building the set and would love to try and build the custom garage for it 😭😭😭👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Someone said the house could have been placed right on the baseplate, as it's already raised up a bit for the mechanisms underneath, and I agree. However, I think it all looks pretty great like that. If your plan is to rebuild parts of the set to make it fit in with the rest of the not-winter city, that will be cool. It's been a bit of an eye-sore. I wonder about expanding the back yard onto the plates behind it, just to give that extra space in front of the big wall panels.
I think the garage looks great, and I love the shelving and details inside it. As for how close it is to the house, I think that's fine. I know from experience, buildings don't always have enough space for a person to get between them. The door in the side is a good touch. (Though, that's the fanciest side-door-in-a-garage I've ever seen. :P)
Also, story-telling opportunity: I dread to think what would happen if Kevin and his new neighbour Bart teamed up. I think it's important that they be up to something together, though.
yo man. this really completes the home alone house. i would also like to have this. do you know roughly what you used here? I would like to order those bricks via the lego site.
