Great build but a couple issues

February 24, 2024I love all the modular legos, so I was ecstatic to get this one when it was restocked from backorder. I would say overall, it’s an amazing build, but there are a few things that could use tweaking. First, the overall color scheme is confusing and not consistent. A bright yellow couch seems out of place in a red brick building with largely neutral colors. Also, the architecture on the roof of the buildings seems flimsy, as some parts are connected by only one stud. The bathroom on the first floor is also tiny and fairly inaccessible.
As a lot of previous comments have said, the instructions are off between bags 12 and 13. Meaning you have to open bag 13 to get some of the pieces required at the end of bag 12. Some of the captions in the instructions are also printed on the incorrect building step.
Finally, I had to Google what the accessory for the magician was supposed to be because I couldn’t figure it out (It’s a magician scarf). There’s really no place for that piece and it doesn’t make sense.
Overall, however, Lego modulars are awesome and this is a great piece to add to a collection.
Great Lights and effects with 2 hiccups.

May 5, 2024The lights and lighting effects are great! I found the directions & illustrations to be easy to understand. The blinking light effects on the sign and the entrance are amazing. The appearance and quality of the Game of Bricks light sets make them superior to most. I feel bad about the star rating. However the "Hiccups" regretfully make me think twice about future sets. It seem like they would be easy to fix. Especially the length of the wires.
#1 ADHESIVES The adhesives will not hold the light strips to the sign. And the lighted sign was the reason that I chose this kit. I also had a problem with the adhesives on the Taj Mahal.
#2 LENGHT OF THE WIRES. The wires are so short that there was no point in even thinking about hiding them. They made it virtually impossible to plug the wires into the boards. They also make it impossible to separate the floors to fix problems. I can't figure out why you make the wires so short or don't use the same wireless connectors between the floors that all of the other companies do. It would cost almost nothing to increase their length.
Solid Build, Tiny Spaces

December 23, 2023This was a fun build to create overall. This is my 5th modular building. It’s one of the more interesting looking builds with great color, unique facade etc. My concern was some of the interior spaces were so tight I was surprised they were built with detail in the first place. Some of the spaces here felt too cramped on the model. I loved the colors and the overall ideas throughout, it’s a great looking piece. I also didn’t like how the floors came together. The upper floors are separated from building to building, the studs that hold them together hold ok, but are easy to break the model itself when revealing the insides of you’re not careful. I haven’t had this issue with other models.
Overall it’s solid, I had fun building the pizzeria on the first floor as well as the stage for the band. The rooftop greenhouse was a clever addition as well.
The police station is probably my favorite build overall but this one still is fun in the lineup.

January 1, 2024Delivery and seller service was 1st class and deserves 5 stars. The Jazz Club modular set though was a \"mixed bag\". On the positive side is the jazz club design on the first and second floor as well as the Taylor's shop. The pizza shop directly adjacent to the jazz club though has a very basic layout and seems like an afterthought. It might have been better to either increase the jazz club size (like the place cinema) or add a stylish cocktail bar. While the build is overall engaging with some novel approaches, the building instructions are not of good quality: often confusing and in more than one instance several parts were \"missing\" during one building step - only to turn up in the next bag for the subsequent building step. These cases of \"wrong packaging\" were quite frustrating, and so was the quality of some parts, which were quite flimsy and didn't stay fixed very well (i.e. lots of the furniture, the lavender flower pots, etc.). Finally, the oversized squirrel \"nest\" on the jazz club roof doesn't make sense to me, and simply looks out of place. So does the greenhouse with way too weird & oversized plants provided. Just doesn't look right for the set.Thus, only 3 stars for this set from me.
