It's 10 minutes after uploading and I've just been told that what I thought was a map of Lego City, is actually meant to be a computer game in their break room! So moving it to the top floor might have been a mistake!!!! But ignoring the interior, I still think the exterior look of the MOD looks GREAT!

This is what Lego should have built in the first place. A lot more of a realistic look to your moc.

Thanks - The tower just looked too thin for the size of the garage next to it. I much prefer it now that it's double width.

The truck likes very nice

This is great! If lego used your changes it would justify the price a bit more, although I do think the fire truck was more complete with the shooter.

Buying 2 sets can often give VERY GOOD results, but I didn't;t want this one to be too big. (I've got two family house sets to make a MOD with) Planning, and buying all the parts for MODs takes quite a bit of time, and normally I don't also have the time to make a complete list of the parts I use. There's no easy way to get a list of all the parts unless I type it all in!!!!! - maybe on the smaller MODs I do I could start listing parts. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Andreas. Really sorry, I don't have parts list at all, I just worked out what I needed from what was already in the set, and then got most of the parts from my own collection. If you have the original set, I would just look at the inventory on BrickLink and work out which ones you need to buy more of. The original list is here: www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=60320-1

Is there a list for the extra pieces used? I cant find any.

Hi Anton, no sorry I didn't make a list of them, I just planned it in Stud.io and got the pieces together from my now storage and ordered a few other pieces. The best that I can suggest is watch the video and just make a list of the new pieces. - Sorry

Hey there Chicken Nuggets. I've just tried to put the Speed Champions Lotus Evija (set 76907) in the garage, and the wheel arches make it too wide. The old 6-stud wide Speed Champions sets will fit in there easily (so all the sets from 2015 to 2019) but the sets from 2020 onwards won't. The garage is 8 studs wide, and I think all the 8-wide SC sets since 2020 also have wheel arches that make them wider than that. I hope that helps.

@@chickennuggets5225 the roller doors are really cool, but they've only ever made them 8-studs wide, and because they run up and down inside a groove in the side bricks, I can't think of a way that you could join two sets together to make the roller door wider. It could work as a display piece, with an 8-stud wide SC car half way in/out of the roller door, so that the front wheel arches are outside the building and the back wheel arches are inside the building?

When it comes to fire- and police sets, I disagree completely. What happened is that Lego swapped from doing the fire station or police station as the biggest and most expensive set of the wave, and instead started making an actual building on fire or a bank robbery to respond to as the "big set", so that each fire vehicle came with the right size fire for it to put out, instead of all fire vehicles coming with only a tiny fire because the fire station ate all the budget. Similarly, the camping sets have grown steadily more advanced and nicer with each year, and I've been loving the 4x4s and pickup trucks for years, with this year's K9 unit being a fantastic set. On the other hand, their big rig trucks have gotten ridiculously toyish compared to some of the builds from the late 00s. They made some really really nice ones in 2009 that I just finished building digitally, and there's been occasional fantastic trucks since, but for example the gaming road show truck? Yeah, that's just sad.

@@Winchester1979 ok yeah, I like the variety of vehicles they have now, but the size of the police and fire stations are just sad now, along with the semi trucks as you said.

@@RealBanana I used to look at the new ones and think they were small... and then I discovered that for basically the same cost as one of the old big sets, you could buy two of these smaller ones and combine them, and you'd have one that was even bigger than the old sets... if you decided you really needed to. The 2022 station is slightly more satisfying to do that with because it has an actual fire engine, as opposed to the brush truck that was in the 2019 one. It used to be much harder to do that, not to mention dreadfully expensive.
