LEGO Creator Expert Bookshop 10270 Modular Building, Home Décor Display Set for Collectors, Advanced Collection, Gift Idea for 16 Plus Year Olds

Bookshop has gotten slept on by lego fans because it’s not as big as other modulars, and subject matter is maybe not as clearly identifiable. But it serves a very practical purpose by existing, it gives your figures more places to live, and gives you half baseplates to give your layout more modularity. It’s also a really good build, even by the 2024 standards we’ve grown accustomed to. There were only one or two small moments during the build where I could tell I was doing an older set. However, there is something intangible that I think elevates this to be a better modular than some of them that are for sale now. It’s the “feel” or I guess the “vibes” this set gives. They are rooted in a design and marketing language of a lego brand that has all but passed away. This sets comes right at the tail end of an age where lego seemed to use more bold and vibrant colors, and took a more casual, almost childlike wonder approach to the adult oriented sets. You know what I mean, sets like the classic creator expert f40 and original vw camper van, the original roller coaster, Assembly square… These are sets that dont scream “Im a serious display model”, instead they kind of just make you feel good, and maybe whisper “it’s ok to display me if it makes you happy”, so you do, and you are. This is a set you buy if you want to remember what putting legos together as a kid was like. And not remember the physical experience of stacking bricks, but remember how that physical experience made you feel. I’ve found that nostalgic buzz weirdly elusive in a lot of modern Lego sets, but I found it here. Is it the best modular? Of course not. Is it the scale maybe a little off? Perhaps. Does it still fit perfectly into the modular lineup? Does it remind you of a bygone era of lego set design? Does it remind you of all the good parts of your childhood, and none of the bad? Yes, yes and yes. Buy this set before it’s so expensive you are kicking yourself for missing out.

The LEGO Creator Expert Bookshop (10270) is an absolute delight for LEGO modular building fans! This gorgeous, detailed, and colorful set brings a cozy, small-town feel to any LEGO city, making it a standout addition to the modular lineup. The build is split into two separate buildings—the charming Birch Books bookshop and a stylish townhouse—both filled with intricate details and clever building techniques. The color palette is stunning, with sand green, dark orange, and nougat tones making the structures feel warm and inviting. Inside the bookshop, you’ll find bookshelves, a spiral staircase, and even a hidden book in the attic! The townhouse features a cozy living space, a bedroom, and even a pet chameleon, adding a fun touch of personality. With 2,504 pieces, this set offers an engaging, enjoyable build, full of smart architectural techniques and creative part usage. The included minifigures—a bookshop owner, a little boy, a couple, and a book-loving customer—enhance the storytelling possibilities. Whether you’re a LEGO modular collector or just love beautifully designed sets, the Bookshop is an absolute must-have. It looks fantastic on display, seamlessly integrates with other modular buildings, and provides an incredibly satisfying building experience. Highly recommended!

Easy to build. Great addition to my collection

This is way too much fun.

This thing is incredible. I'd been out of the Lego game since the first Star Wars ones came out in the late 90s, other than the video games. Well, that damned Friends set was adorable and called to me so I had to get it. In the process, I thought, "Boy, I hope this doesn't awaken anything dormant in me." Anyways, this set is incredible, like I said. Even the box is beautiful. But building this thing, oh mamacita, it is so fun and therapeutic. Quarantine schmuarantine! Obviously, it's my first modular set and obviously I'm getting more. It's so cute, too! Like, adorable! My wife (I know, I'm married yet also making Legos as a 40 year old man, whodathunk?) even loves it, thinks it's so clever looking and wants more! MWAHAHAHA. And yeah, you want to see more book covers or titles on the spines but eh, there are still plenty of books in the bookshop. The real joy for me was the townhouse. I even loved the mousetrap in the basement! I got it before the scoundrels ordered them up and are now charging out the yingyang on here. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves! So, yeah, highly recommended and heaven help you, you WILL want more. P.S. I think I got that other review's missing pieces.

Awesome set, all pieces there.

The set is a retired product.

Beware these city kits are addictive ❤️
