Is this the best LEGO Creator Expert Building?

June 10, 2020 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Is this the best LEGO Creator Expert Building? This has been high up my wanted list for a very, very long time! Why? Because I think the Grand Emporium is one of the best sets in the Creator Expert line. And also a real turning point for the series.

About this Video:
This spectacularly detailed 3-story department store is part of the LEGO Creator Expert line and is designed in a realistic scale with lots of special building techniques and rare pieces.

On the street outside, citizens carry shopping bags, send letters at the mailbox, admire the window mannequins, then cool off at the ice cream stand while a busy window washer works above. Enter through the revolving doors to discover a ground-floor clothing department, complete with a cash register, fitting room, hats, jewellery, perfume, and even a selection of spare trousers.

There’s a brick-built escalator that carries customers to the second floor which has the housewares department with glassware and golden plates for special occasions. Then up on the top floor is the toy department complete with toy house and push-scooter with an impressive chandelier above the open atrium. And they even put a billboard and skylight up on the roof!
