Little Yellow Brick Pick #14 - 10243 Parisian Restaurant

Happiness comes in a HUGEEEEEE Amazon box today! :) Was surprised to see our Amazon purchases when we returned from work this evening! We eagerly opened the box to find our 10243 Parisian Restaurant! And the box was in great condition!! Yay to more online purchases from Amazon!

As usual, we apologise for our lack of updates. We haven't purchased many Lego sets of late, and although the 10244 Lego Fairground Mixer and 31026 Bike Shop and Cafe look quite tempting (to Mrs Little Yellow Brick), we aren't sure if we would be purchasing them to add to our collection.Well, don't fret.. you can be sure we will continue our Winter Village series once the next Winter Village set is on sale! :)

On a personal note, I am thankful for a good half year so far. We have collected our keys to our home, and... just maybe.. we could have a cabinet displaying our Lego collection; if space permits! :) 
We will definitely post photos on Little Yellow Brick if we do so!

On another happy note, we are about 12 weeks more to welcoming Baby Little Yellow Brick! Although I wouldn't be purchasing Disney Princess Duplo (Ooooooooooooh 41055 Cinderella's Romantic Castle) and Lego Friends (Are you reading Mr Little Yellow Brick? Where's my Olivia's House?!?), I guess Baby Little Yellow Brick wouldn't mind a Duplo Zoo / Train Set. Hehehehe.

I'm very thankful for a blessed year so far. Meanwhile, do look out for our next entry on the 10243 Parisian Restaurant! We will definitely try to build it before I pop! :)

Our 18th Lego Project - 10232 Palace Cinema

Model: 10232 Palace Cinema
2194 pieces
Released in 2013
Retail price: $149.99 USD

Yup! We have finally built the 10232 Palace Cinema modular building! Although we completed the building in January we only got down to taking photos this month! Hehe.

Presenting our 18th Lego project..... 10232 Palace Cinema! :)

All eyes on our star minifig arriving at the Palace Cinema for her movie premiere!

Round the corner from Movie Boulevard!

Time for the grand entrance!

Our 10232 Palace Cinema box. Bought in Munich while we were traveling! Notice that the box front doesn't indicate the number of pieces?

Back of the box

The 10232 Palace Cinema is the 8th modular building released by Lego. It is also the first entertainment hangout where our town's minifigs can wind down after a hard week's work!

The third corner modular building after the 10182 Cafe Corner and the 10211 Grand Emporium, the 10232 Palace Cinema is a grand structure which rivals the colossal 10224 Town Hall in height. It is also the first modular building set to have "portable" structures - the floodlights and barriers are to be placed along the street. Additionally, the limousine is also expected to be outside of the pavement (the 10197 Fire Brigade also has a fire engine, but building has been designed to allow the entrance and exit of the vehicle).

The 10232 Palace Cinema is a lovely addition to the Lego Modular Town family. We are excited about combining it with our  Lego Modular Town. Stay tuned for our next post in this series!

Our Lego Winter Village Town MOC - 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, 10216 Winter Village Bakery, 10222 Winter Village Post Office, 10229 Winter Village Cottage and 10235 Winter Village Market!

We had to purchase another X-large grey plate to accommodate the latest addition to our Lego Winter Village Seasonal Series - 10235 Winter Village Market. It took the both of us some discussion before we decided with this set up. You see, Mrs Little Yellow Brick wanted to try making ski slopes using a thrift store Lego piece but Mr Little Yellow Brick emphasized that Little Yellow Brick's style is that of simplicity - having a few extra bricks and arranging our Lego sets can lead to picturesque outcomes.

So, without further ado... Presenting our 2013 Lego Winter Village Christmas Town combining the 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, 10216 Winter Village Bakery10222 Winter Village Post Office, 10229 Winter Village Cottage and 10235 Winter Village Market!

Our 17th Lego Project - 10235 Winter Village Market

  • Model: 10235 Winter Village Market
  • 1261 Pieces
  • Released in 2013
  • Retail price: $99.99 USD 

It is a Little Yellow Brick custom to have a Winter Village series post every year, and this year is no exception!

Presenting.. our 10235 Winter Village Market!

 10235 Winter Village Market building blocks and instructions!

Completed 10235 Winter Village Market
What a pretty and colourful sight aye?

The 10235 Winter Village Market is the fifth Lego Seasonal (Winter Series) Set after the 10199 Winter Village Toy Shop, 10216 Winter Village Bakery, 10222 Winter Village Post Office and 10229 Winter Village Cottage. At 1261 pieces, it is smaller than the 10229 Winter Village Cottage. However, the intricate details and building of the mini carousel took up more building time as compared to the former.

At 1261 pieces, the 10235 Winter Village Market comes with 9 minifigs, a carousel (functional!) with a game's stall piece, stand alone baker's, grill and candy stalls. Mrs Little Yellow Brick's favourite stall is the baker's stall as it comes with a pretty star-shaped logo on the shop front. :)

For this entry, I've resized the pictures to a larger size in order to capture the intricate details of the Market. Image heavy entry ahead! :)
