This is beautiful. I love the creativity of this line when it comes to using parts (like the grills above the second floor windows). And tan hand bag? Oh, yes.

Although I know I'll never be able to afford it, I can't help but say this is a great looking set! Although it isn't something I'd really care to buy, it has some very nice details.

God bless.

In a word: :eyebrows:

Another beautifully made, and sadly expensive set that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I'm glad to see that the market street sets are developing some nice interiours. The US flag (or something along its general style) makes me a bit curious. I would think that a Denmark flag would be more appropiate....but then I am really not sure exactly which nationality's fire station inspired this. Whatever. I just am so in love with the fact that they used the classic smiley face for the figs.

I'm so glad I passed on so many sets recently. This looks like the must have of the year.

I love the brickwork facing on the outside and the fire truck really looks cool. The only other of the street-side sets that I have purchased is the Green Grocer and I was blown away by that one when I put it together. This one looks equally impressive. I also like how the buildings look great together, but look good enough that they can stand alone as well.

My wife is not a huge AFOL, but she loves getting sets like this and putting them together with me. They look so good we'll leave them out on display and people LOVE seeing stuff like this when they come over to visit.

Wow! This set looks absolutely fantastic!

Seriously, LEGO is coming out with cooler and cooler sets. The level of detail in this set is incredible! I can't wait till this set comes out and I can get it. Here's to impatient waiting!

I think it looks great, but for me it doesn't stand out as much as Green Grocer did. That said, it's still a must buy. :wink:

Thank you Sir Cat for the additional details. :)

Are they hanging their hats on silver frogs? :roflol:

This is awesome. LEGO fire stations are some of my favorites.

100% agree.
It`s very good but Cafe Corner and Green Grocer are far much better for me.

Wowowowowowowow! This is just so full of great details, like the brickwork, the frog-hooks, the bumper using binoculars, the brick-built ladder, sliding door, etc etc etc. IMO this Cafe Corner line just gets better and better. Wish I had a few hundred dollars lying around that I could buy them all. :cry:

I know how you feel. Although, if I could just get either Cafe Corner or Green Grocer, I'd be content. :)

So, if this means the Cafe Corner line isn't over, is their a possibility for another set this year? I'd love to see another one.

God Bless.
