sctviper1 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Hello fellow Lego fans! I am brand new to these forums as I am just getting back into Lego after all these years. It's a blast reading through these forums and admiring everyone's creations! I would like to share my very first MOC ever! The Lego Retail Store. It's inspired by the set given away at Lego Store grand openings, set 40145. I Bricklinked all the pieces for that set but decided to build a larger version. I hope you all like it! Please feel free to make any suggestions to make any improvements! Thanks and enjoy!

Robert8 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 The lighting is amazing You could include a castle or pirates minifigure as a mannequin Quote
LAKAbricks Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Welcome to Eurobricks, stcviper. The small LEGO Store looks really nice in minifig size, good job you have done there. I like the interiors, and I agree that the PAB wall by L@GO looks the best. With the light inside, one is really drawn to the store - I want to do some shopping now How did you make the yellow bricks on the roof? I cannot really figure it out. I looks like DUPLO, but I am not quite sure. Quote

The lighting was a last minute addition. I'm glad it turned out as well as it did! A mini castle is a great idea! I might have the pieces for that! Welcome to Eurobricks, stcviper.

dwayne_hicks Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Love the detail on the store merchandise! Quote
Nacho Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Nice work, the larger bricks on the roof are a clever idea! :) Quote
L@go Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 That's a very nice conversion indeed! I've got one of the original small ones of my wish list, but God knows when there'll be an opportunity to get one... I like your stickerwork, those sets look lovely on the shelf. And I'm glad I could inspire your pick-a-brick wall :) Quote

I originally wanted to build your version because I liked it so much, but then I saw the new version of the mini model of the store so I decided to build a larger scale of that one.

Captain Braunsfeld Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Fine MOC - and the light is fantastic! (Though the decals will have cost you more time, I presume...) Quote

Only Sinner Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I love it! Your store even has a Friends colored Cafe Corner, how interesting. I like everything in this store. have you considered a red brick sign above the front door that says: LEGO? I think most stores have a sign in front. Quote
Mr_Jola Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 That is super cool! I love the little 'set boxes' you created too. How many studs is it deep? Quote
dr_spock Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Well done. The store interior is great. Quote
