Announcing 10230 Mini Modulars – Cafe Corner returns in microscale!

The set comes with 1,356 pieces and will retail for $80 in the States. It includes Cafe Corner (of course), Market Street, Green Grocer, Fire Brigade, and Grand Emporium. I guess we’ll have to wait for the recently released Pet Shop until later (or build your own!).

We’ve seen LEGO fans create mini/microscale versions of these sets for years (including Matthew Raehl’s mini modular street, mumu’s pre-release micro 10182, and many more), but it’s great to see an official LEGO take on this concept.

See lots more photos in the photoset on Flickr.

Here’s the complete press release from LEGO:

Do you like it? Is VIP only unfair?

I'm a VIP member so it's fine.

And you can join easily.

I like it but I can spend the money elsewhere.

I am also... But keep in mind VIP is USA only!

For a mini, $80 is a lot.

I don't think it's worth $80.

Keep in mind it has 1,300 parts... A set with so many parts should be 130.00 USD!

Octan

Tiny parts though. o.o

Isn't that a combo of two large sets? Shouldn't of they of sold them separately?

Saw this at my local Lego store yesterday. No me gusta.

It is a micro-version of a bunch of sets, they are about 1/20th scale I would say.

I wrote that a while ago... not sure why it would still need an answer.
