JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

MTT (Motorized Tie Transport or similar LEGO Creator set) — Both sets experienced the same mould transition issue with mixed roof slope textures (50/50 rough to smooth ratio)

Cafe Corner — The main Model Town House is positioned as the centerpiece; if it doesn't satisfy, the reviewer jokingly suggests moving to the big city and finding an apartment on Cafe Corner (another modular building set).

Newer Creator minifigure-scale sets — Prefers the newer Creator sets that are in minifigure scale as they allow for more interactive play and compatibility with other LEGO sets

City sets — City sets use smaller scales for more compact building, whereas this set uses a larger, more realistic minifigure scale
