Although I REALLY wanted the Maersk Ship (already gone) and the Maersk Train (still around), I decided on this entry in the modular series. I have long missed out on the Cafe Corner and Green Grocer, and those prices are ridiculous on eBay. I found out that Lego puts out one new entry in the modular series each year. And eventually the oldest one disappears for good and you are left to the secondary market to get them. Well the Fire House is the oldest right now, so I decided to go ahead and drop the coin and get it before I can't anymore. The Maersk Train will be next, followed by the Grand Emporium.

It feels real good to add this one to my collection. Now I just need to put together and appropriate work bench to work on Lego builds, and other geek miscellany (taking photos, doing dios, custom work, repairs, etc).

Very jealous of this as these modulars look like a lot of fun, I really want the corner market set.

But I'm really only into Lego for the Superheroes sets, so I'm trying to keep the leash tight on this part of the hobby. Did manage to get everything that's available including Joker's Funhouse (Lego Shop exclusive I believe). I missed building this stuff.

I've actually gotten my Daughter into Lego as well, got her some Lego City sets, and some blindbag minifigs for Christmas. It's nice to have something fun I can share with her that's not flippin pink.
