Building a LEGO City on SHELVES
Ойын-сауық
It's always been a dream of mine to have a full fledged LEGO City. Unfortunately I don't have the space for a dedicated LEGO Room. So I went with the next best option ... a LEGO City on SHELVES!
This is a tour of my LEGO City Shelf where I show you all the different LEGO Modulars, LEGO MOCs and LEGO Vehicles I have displayed.

I like this set up more than the large tables imo.

Same here, the buildings look way more fuller and livelier imo.

The tables look kinda gross to me like a bad addiction gross 😂 I know this dude has a ton anyway it just looks way cleaner and cared for. I have a few Lego sets but I collect funko pops and I have over 100 in nice organizer shelves and they look clean and nice.

YES! tables end up looking like a huge mess, especially given most cities are just modulars

me too. time to reconfigure my city and get a ping pong table🙂👍
I MUCH prefer leveled cities like these compared to the bulky ones. Much more neat and pretty.
This more minimalist approach to a lego city display is much preferable compared to having rooms full of desks. You’ve inspired me to rearrange my sets with your fantastic idea !
It is important to show this alternatives man, KZread at least it's so full of the same traditional table layout, were bigger is better, people can build whatever they want, but it is appreciated to see alternatives for others to get inspired and try it out, even if the space and budget is not the same, the pros of this layout is that you can set different scenes of a city, smaller neighborhoods, mor comercial areas, big busy areas, other cities just feel strange with having these all together in one table, while shelf divide the scenes and make it seem that you are picking veins of a big city, I don't know if this is the best way to do a city but it's a good option.
This looks a lot better then the big messy lego tables
Putting the Up house between the two taller buildings was genius!
Fantastic modular streets setup, and great to see the more down to earth reality that not all of us have the space for a massive modular city! I recently bought a house and while quite spacious, there isn't room for a massive modular city table either, so I've had to settle for a long modular street (9 full modulars in width) across the top of a bookshelf. In some ways I reckon this sort of street on a shelf can be better if it is all killer no filler which some of those giant cities end up being
I prefer the shelves. My favorite (and first as well!) is the boutique hotel.
Great job, I think your city looks great.

I really like your setup for your legos. I think it looks better on shelves than on tables! 😊 its really is so detailed. good job 👍
Clean set up!! Loved the video ❤
i been doing the same thing for a while but with 2 modulars and a construction site just taking up 1 shelf
Wow! It looks amazing and aesthetically pleasing! Great job!
As someone also renting, this is such a great idea! Looks pretty kitted out, have plans for when the shelves are completely full?

I vote for kicking them out… just kidding! Idk I think it would be cool to set up two shelves next to each other and then halfway through the second shelf add some other scenes like a park or a beach

Great video! Thank you for the ideas. My wife and I have been wanting to do shelf cities ourselves!
super awesome. that UP house is amazing
Looks great
Super cool setup!
Clean job! Looking forward to more videos 👌🏻
Love the city on ur shelf
I love your set up, its very similar to one I have. Only suggestion is to be careful in position as to how close ur sets are to the window, ive learned the hard way that the sun will yellow your more white/grey lego. You have it just out of the suns direct light just dont lose your cool stuff! loved your video.

Oh thanks for this tip
Looks great! I also have a shelf setup for modulars and mocs.
sick setup
Super clean video! I really love your setup
I can dig it. Myself, I would like to make a shelf city like The 5th Element with tall skyscrapers on top for the rich people middle class in the middle then a street level with an underground on the bottom shelf.
Very well done 🎉
Great idea, I started on a big winter village on a very large table and realized I can never do what I want since I'd have too many tables around the house. So I'm attempting a little of what you're doing. Do it in a finite shelf space. I use less bricks and get more creative with the layouts.
Great video love the editing! Subscribed
Facades behind the city layers would be a nice addition.
yes!!! im also working on a mini city on a shelf!
instantly knew you were a new zealander when you called the woolies truck a count down truck haha
The pig on the police station, i love it
It looks so clean :)
I spy that Countdown farm in the stairwell 😂
Great video 👍
I have a small Lego city, I do have some sets on shelves. I can relate with having too much Lego while not having enough room. Awesome video! Amazing city! You should make videos about your MOCS
So amazing
Looks really cool. I suffer the same fate because my home office is also my Lego showroom. I really like the shelf idea for your city, looks really clean and surprisingly spacious.
Love the Video 🎉❤
I like this setup a lot, because it looks very good, not overutilized, and tbh this is what most of us can afford :D
editing and camera work is simply astounding! This channel is going to blow up big time.
I think this set up is cool and all of your sets are incredible when they’re together. I am starting into it.🥰
As I am addicted to LEGO modular buildings, I love every modular contents you create and love your shelf display ^^
The set that the bus came from was my first LEGO set. I’m sad I don’t still have it assembled, but that makes sense as I was a young kid. This made me feel old! Lol
Awesome content 🎉
good posters as well, cheers
Nice! You give me ideas for my city which is on shelves in a curio cabinet at this point. Thanks😊
Recently put all my lego city on shelves, saving for road plates, or bricks to build my own....Kiwi ingenuity continues....cheers from Auckland!

My favorite is the 3rd shelf
Gotta include the good old countdown bricks truck.
This is a really amazing idea, your video has really made me think about how you can display Lego. I’ve a lot of sets but I’ve not purchased a modular because I don’t have a dedicated room or an area whereby I could display these in. That was until now, such an awesome idea and you’ve given me food for thought. Brilliant
Love the amount of effort you put into this video, can't wait to see your future vids!!
I use the same type for all my displays. 👍💪
I had the came idea looks awesome 👍😎

Try adding Spring Festival set in your modular city, I bet it will look good in your city. 🏮
good idea! This way I can expand my collection and still have space in my room for other things like working place 😁

Awesome setup and great idea! Might do something in my office (don’t have space for large spread out LEGO layout) Quick question. What depth are your shelves? Look perfect depth to put a modular plus a street play in front.
Nice. I’ve a similar plan for my living room. Just finished sanctum 🎉

Very awesome city but I may be biased because my own shelves city is comprised of most of these buildings lol. I even have the Sitcomplex and noodle shop Mocs and currently building the Up house one. Though I have modified the noodle shop to have a tree and bench and table outside for outside dining and the floor above I’ve modified into a small martial arts studio (I used to go to a martial arts club packed into a small flat space so I found it cute to add it in). I don’t have the space for too many roads on my shelves so I’m a little jealous of your road display. Suppose it’s the choice between adding roads or using that space for more buildings cos I have a beach area on my lower shelves that have Ideas sets like the Lighthouse and Fishing store displayed and I couldn’t imagine removing them as much as it be nice to display more vehicles. I guess with limited space we have to be more creative and ruthless about what we choose to display.
I do the same with My modulars, it's the better option to put a lot of big sets, the only problem are the modulars how are to tall like the ninjago city/gardens and the daily bugle
Fellow Kiwi LEGO collector here, nice to discover your channel!

I like your thinking! An elevator sounds fun 👀
I know how you feel with no space. I’m currently trying to build a city in my travel trailer bedroom
Im in the same situation pal, shelves are simply so practical
I'm using this method in my bedroom
"this is what happens when you have so much lego and no where to put it" ugh I feel your pain. my lego crap is not built either so I just have parts everywhere
I kinda prefer this more then a massive table lego city
That's cool. Oddly I've always liked small footprints but tall developments. 😅 So I keep thinking of doing a tree or skyscraper like lego city. 🤷♂️
What a great Idea! 😍 Greetings from Germany!

Honestly imo this looks way better. I much prefer displayed Lego that isn’t cluttered and is clean. I hate seeing rooms that just have tons of Lego in a relatively small space
this is amazing, I don't even have room for a modular so consider yourself lucky! ;)

The shelf brand is pinnacle hardware, but they’re only available at Bunnings in AU/NZ. I just made a community post with an Amazon link to a close resemblance available overseas 😊
Love the set up bro, but how do you clean your lego? I used pressure gas, but it doesn't get the job done sufficiently. any tips?
