LEGO 10264 Creator Expert Corner Garage, Workshop and Vet Clinic Set with 6 Minifigures & Animal Figures, Modular Building Series, Gift Idea

Product Information

The floor is divided into two: a waiting room on the left and the vet's room on the right. A fish tank, which you can't see very well at all in these pictures, is mounted in the wall above the single-seat chair in the waiting room.

I guess you can't satisfy everyone - if you try something different people will go "it doesn't fit with the others" and "this is the first modular I'm going to skip", if you go more traditional people will complain that "it looks bland and samey" or "it looks just like 10xxx in a different color". I also suspect those who complain the loudest are the ones who keeps their modulars in pristine condition, I usually modify mine so any issues can generally be sorted out. Here you can see the inside the bay window. The train window assemblies are held in place by the grey telescope pieces at the side. Anyway, after something like 6 hours of building, another hour or so photographing and post-processing and a couple more writing it, I'm pleased to be able to bring you this review so soon after its reveal. Roll up the door to access Jo's vehicle workshop, complete with tire mounter and working vehicle lift. Capture the hustle and bustle of a busy corner garage, with a vet's clinic upstairs and an apartment above that.

The overall floor plan of the top story (bag group 5) is essentially identical to the middle story with the vet’s office, minus the central dividing wall perpendicular to the front wall. This makes the top floor fairly wide open, focused more on the interior details to which we’ll return later in this review. There are dozens of recoloured parts in the set: sand blue windows, dark orange tiles and many more. the toilet, of course, which has a old-fashioned high wall-mounted cistern. Presumably the man washes himself in the kitchen sink given there's no shower.

At the end of the first bag, the ground floor is still only partially complete, though it includes all of its interior detail. The LEGO designers have made extensive use of the relatively new rounded 1×2 plate throughout the building, starting with the columns on either side of the door on the left side of the structure.

Minifigures

The fourth set of bags provides the parts for the second floor with the veterinarian’s office. The vet’s office has a large front window with a printed design that reads “Dr. Jones Animal Care: No Snakes!” a sly little Indiana Jones Easter egg. What strikes me as funny is the amount of people now complaining about the rather basic interior, while with previous MB there were comments about the fact that to much focus and pieces were going to the interior... When complete, the second floor has a waiting area for animal patients and their owners, as well as an examination room with a variety of equipment. Notice how the LEGO designers have used 1×1 round tiles as well as corner wedge tiles to accommodate the off-grid construction of the walls. I also particularly like the muted Octan colours of green and red used for the garage which gives it an old-school feel.
