Product Description

Welcome to another incredible Lego world! The Lego Make & Create Cafe Corner features all the activity, colors, and architecture of a real town building. Realistic decorations include cafe tables with umbrellas, striped awning, hotel sign, trash can, street light, bench, and more.

Create and Expand
Recommended for ages 16 years and up, this Lego model is more than just child's play. Like a good puzzle, it's fun to assemble the 2,056 pieces of this model. Built in sections, it can even be taken apart in three sections for easy storage and transport. The top two stories lift off to reveal inner rooms, staircases, and handrails. Perfect for Lego-maniacs and collectors with other sets, the modular design of this town corner allows urban planners to expand the street with a neighborhood or a hotel. Or, with connectors at the base of the structure, four Cafe Corners can be joined together.

An Active Town
Developed in co-operation between consumer requests, fans, and Lego designers, this detailed and realistic street corner scene features special and rare Lego colors and pieces, and also incorporates new building techniques, including an opening front door and door top decoration. The kit includes three mini-figure townspeople -- two males and one female -- as well as neighborhood-themed elements such as a dustbin and a bike. The interior and exterior are different from each other, and special Lego colors in this set include dark blue, dark red, medium blue, and transparent red.

Built To Last
Built completely on mini-figure scale, the street base is a 10 by 10 inch square and the building stands more than 14 inches high. Durable plastic Lego construction makes this micro-scale town building sturdy and reliable.

About LEGO

Seventy-five years later, LEGO is one of the world's largest toy manufacturers, with products sold in 130 countries.

Equally as fun to put together as to look at.

It will take some patience and time to put this together. But is is a good time, especially if you don't try to rush it. My 12-year-old son and I are having a blast putting this together. Neither of us are full fledged Lego hobbyists, but both of us enjoy the concepts and quality of good Lego kits.

The building assembles in three major sections, each corresponding to one floor of the three-story structure. The parts bags are labelled with their section numbers, do you don't have to mix the parts together for all three sections while you are building it, saving a lot of part-searching time (but never fear, the high number of pieces in each section means you will still spend plenty of quality time hunting for elements).

This kit makes fantastic use of basic Legos and has virtually no large pieces that are overspecialized, making the kit far more flexible to rebuild into other types of assemblies. For instance, the large white fan-shaped sunburst decoration over the main door is composed of a number of small Lego "ski" pieces using a creative way to link them together. The creative construction techniques in this kit encourage you to think of new ways of using Lego bricks that will help you design your own creations if you are so inclined.

This kit was definitely worth the price we paid at Amazon, although you should be aware that some third party Amazon sellers try to charge far more that list price for it. To look up the list price for this (or any other) Lego set, I recommend you seek out dedicated Lego sites like Lugnet or Brickset.

One note: this kit is inapproriate for very young Lego builders based on the sheer size and the number of different building techniques they would have to use to assemble this kit correctly, unless an adult could sit with them and work through it with them. My 12-year-old could easily do it by himself, but my 7-year-old would lack the patience.

My husband and grandaughter,who is 8, put this together and had so much fun doing it she didn't want it to end. The kit is for ages 16 and up but with adult supervision it really wasn't that difficult. A great set

A real beauty!

This is a good toy for a good price. The architectural detail and sheer beauty of the finished set is reason alone to buy it. A must for Lego collectors and a nice little challenge for all the builders in your family.

My daughter built this lego set all by herself (she's 10 years old). I was suprised of how detailed and realistic it was. There were a lot of pieces, and some pretty easy to lose, but she didn't lose any of them. This is truly a fantastic lego set!

Great set from Lego you have got to own

Reviewer: G. Lui,

After getting the amazing complementary set, the Green Grocer, I immediately sought the Cafe Corner out and I sure am glad I did. The price at Amazon plus free shipping, is a great deal, compared to some of the ridiculous prices Lego speciality shops are asking for, given the exclusivity of the set.

With over a 1000 pieces, the build is especially satisfying, much like laying the bricks and features of an actual building. In comparison to the Green Grocer, the Cafe Corner lacks an interior, which serves as an exciting side project planning for one. The ace of this set is definitely the design of the architecture and is amazing when displayed.

I believe that these sets will go down in Lego and the Lego collector's history as two of most sought-after building sets. So get them while it's still available. You'll kick yourself for not doing so.
