LEGO Brand Store 40305 (362 Pieces)

This model was a great microscale build that had quite a few fun elements. It does have quitr a few stickers but they do a good job with making it appear like real lego sets. Definitely recommend the slightly bigger store model as well which has a bit more detail.

+ The Brand Store +

This is one of my favourite Lego Brand stores of all times.It is possible to combine 2 of this set or more and you can build and shape your store the way you desire.It also gives you a good understanding of the basics in a modular building.The selection of pieces for this set is excellent.I purchased 4x this set but used only 2 for my Lego store, together from pieces of various other sets.Although it is not finished yet, I will share in the hopes that it may inspire some builders to do their own.

A decent set; perfect for parts/rebuild

I had thought this was interesting; then bought 2 sets on blackfriday sale for 50 CND, thinking that i could combine them to make a new building for my Assembly Square. The set itself is decent that has some nice detail; i personally dont care for the "modular" feature that allows you to switch element like window/door. For 30 dollars (regular price) it's really good value (reflected by the cost per brick).But for my purpose - combining two to make a bigger building, it's basically perfect, and provide unbeatable value. i did not stick the two sets next to one another (which i think will be fine too); instead i rebuilt it entirely with a few technique and mini-builds from the original design, and i am really happy with the result - 2 stories of 16x16 with walls on ... MoreI had thought this was interesting; then bought 2 sets on blackfriday sale for 50 CND, thinking that i could combine them to make a new building for my Assembly Square.

I used 2nd floor as the lego store (with two sets you are able to pack the store, which looks wicked); 1st floor is left for another businesses or two, you will just have to use some of your own pieces/accessories to dress it up. obviously to integrate it into the modular set will take more work, but for 50-60 bucks? it's great considering the price of modular sets.Kind of wish i've gotten a third set to make it 3 stories tall....

A tiny little LEGO store, made out of LEGOs!

This is a very nice and detailed little LEGO set! The figures include a man who runs the store and a kid visiting the store, both very nice. The store itself is really awesome, and has so many details! The mini LEGO sets, the pick-a-brick, and the giant LEGO on the roof are some of my favorites! Personally, I find it more of a display piece then a playset, but I still do see a lot of potential playability in it. Overall, I find it as a lovely LEGO set, and would 100% recommend!

Cute but feels flimsy

Quick little build that is very cute, but I was disappointed in the structural quality of the build. There were multiple times were I was having to support a section as a new brick was connected. There were also several times when I had a section collapse as I was adding to it. That is definitely not what I expect of Lego. Usually I am blown away by the engineering, but not this time. I don't think it would hold up well as a play set.

Disabled access, not!

I love this set. Not only are you getting your very own Lego store but it’s also a terrific build too!The mini figure tower is a really neat build and the fire engine and duck(?) are pretty good too!I liked the product boxes, just a pity they’re stickers and not printed bricks.The shield is rather cumbersome and not that great without a print!The only thing I really dislike is the entrance to the store. It’s not accessible to a wheelchair user and really smacks of thoughtlessness by the designer.

Excellent Product and Experience

This was my first time purchasing LEGO directly from their website and I must say I am very impressed with how quickly the items arrived (3 days from payment) and how well they were packaged for shipping.With that said, let’s jump into the set!I was away from LEGO for a long time and just got back into it as an adult last year while searching for a new hobby. I usually only buy the Speed Champions product line because I love cars. Occasionally, a set will catch my eye and I have to have it. That was this set!I actually bought two of these. One to build and display and one to keep sealed because LEGO rarely releases products featuring their own logo in the theme or design. The assortment of parts is amazing for the price and the end result is a fantastic ... MoreThis was my first time purchasing LEGO directly from their website and I must say I am very impressed with how quickly the items arrived (3 days from payment) and how well they were packaged for shipping.With that said, let’s jump into the set!I was away from LEGO for a long time and just got back into it as an adult last year while searching for a new hobby.

The assortment of parts is amazing for the price and the end result is a fantastic mini-modular build! I actually didn’t know it was modular until I physically saw the packaging and was even more excited. The build took longer than expected, but I don’t like to rush through the experience. The interior is nicely decorated and reminds me of my local LEGO Store. This is perfect for a younger individual who is interested in architecture or LEGO modular buildings, but may not have the patience for the massive buildings like the new Book Store.Overall, this is a great build and I’m happy to add it to my collection! LEGO should release more products like this. Small modular buildings.Great job with my order and your products! Thank you!

Great introduction to modular building

Honestly, one of the best sets available. From what I can tell, Lego doesn't make too many self branded sets, and definitely not one that can easily be put into any Lego city. I did like what Ladylegojess did below and bought 4 of these to combine into 1 big Lego store to add to my full city. The value for this set is incredible and modifying the build was extremely fun!

Great set for Lego fans

I'm a fan of any Lego store sets and was excited to see this set offered at a reasonable price. I think a fan of Lego will be happy to build this set. The set is wonderful because of the small details like sets in the window and different themed sets located on the shelves. For those who prefer a closed building, one can easily combine 2 sets.I agree with other reviewers who suggest that the set could be improved with a Lego Employee. If you are interested, check out the VIP set found in the Lego Rewards Center for a Lego Employee.

Very cute

It is a very nice and meaningful set for me and family members b/c we are lego fans.The building style is more like Modern Home 31068 and Family Villa 31069. Wonder if they are have the same designer?This set is very cute, particularly the ATM machine is built right outside the microscale store which add a sense of humor. Now our lego construction has a mini lego store for the minifigures to go get lego sets.
