Lego modular buildings 2022
Обновлено: 04.05.2024
Привет-привет! В сегодняшней статье мы познакомимся с внушительным десантом конструкторов LEGO по грядущему мультфиму «Базз Лайтер» от Disney & Pixar. А также космическая новинка для девочек Френдз, впечатляющий набор Звездных Войн с знаковым героем, первый набор в честь девяностолетия The Lego Group и парочку наборов, которые уже утекли в некоторых магазинах на полки. Поехали!
11021: 90 Years of Play / 90 лет игры
И начнём мы с самого загадочного набора статьи. В 2022 году компании The Lego Group исполняется 90 лет. Невероятная дата! В честь этого крупного юбилея намечены празднования, гуляния конкурсы подарки и конечно же уникальные конструкторы. Будем надеяться, что праздник не обойдёт нашу страну стороной.
Пока был анонсирован всего один набор, и он перед вами. Он очень похож на наборы из линейки в честь празднования шестидесятилетия кубика ( смотреть тут ). Просто набор деталей, из которых можно воссоздать прикольные микро наборы из прошлого. Сколько будет деталей в наборе, а также цена и дата выхода пока не известны. Может он как раз и будет подарочным?
UPD: появилась задняя часть коробки.
10962: Buzz Lightyear's Planetary Mission / Планетарная миссия Базза Лайтера
Знакомство с космическим героем Баззом мы начнём с новинки ДУПЛО. Куй железо, пока горячо решили в TLG, и продолжают «подсаживать» детей на конструктор с помощью мощный мультиков. В целом правильно решение. Про набор слишком много сказать нельзя. Взгляд притягивают огромные мощнейшие принты (привет наклейкам в наборах за 300-400 $), смешная фигурка главного героя и огромный звездолёт из единой монолитной деталищи! Деталей: 37 шт, цена: ?
76830: Zyclops Chase / Погоня за Зилопом
Следующий набор переносит нас в категорию «для юных строителей» (Juniors 4+). И, как и во всех таких наборах у них присутствует стандартный пакет плюсов и минусов: крупные детали (чаще всего уникальные, смотрим на ноги робота), простая сборка, все детали с рисунками – уникальные принты, никаких наклеек для детей!
Что касается всего остального, то тут: спойлеры к фильму, ОЧЕНЬ спорное лицо с причёской Базза (ну совсем на себя не похож, почему бы не расщедриться и сделать уникальную причёску?), ну и щепотка «повесточки», куда ж без неё, правда? Чуть не забыл, даже пришлось возвращаться в черновик и дописывать. У нашей мадам уникальный торс доспехом и клёвый шлем. Уже предвижу целые армии таких солдат где-нибудь в крутых самоделках. Деталей: 87 шт, цена: 20 $.
76831: Zurg Battle / Битва с Зургом
А вот и следующий набор. Так как категория у нас 7+ про принты мы забываем и все поверхности оклеиваем горой стикеров, мда. Что же тут у нас? Перед нами формула успеха (интересно, когда она уже надоест?) – крупный робот с подвижными суставами.
А также щепотка Доктора Кто (привет Далеки!), чернокожая девочка-Базз (хотя вовсе нет, или всё же да?), страшные отдельные головы с такими же выражениями лиц и как вишенка на торте – рыжая милая кошечка. Мрр, мяу! Деталей: 261 шт, цена: 30 $.
76832: XL-15 Spaceship / Космический корабль XL-15
Из плюсов: помимо вполне себе игрового (для детей) набора звездолёта (ура! Не ЗВ единым славится космос, скажите же!) с очень классным дизайном и цветовой гаммой (что стоят синие лучи на крыльях и стильное желтое стекло, ммм.. загляденье!) – перед нами еще и полночная модель с подставкой и характеристиками. Вау.
А также целая россыпь фигурок с абсолютно разнообразным цветом кожи, и снова рыжий красавчик котик! (или всё же кошечка??). Броня у каждого героя индивидуальная. Деталей: 497 шт, цена: 50 $.
Say hello to one of the most anticipated sets of the new year – 10297 Boutique Hotel, the 2022 Modular Building! Celebrating 15 years of LEGO’s highly esteemed Creator Expert Modular Building series, this set is a delightful celebration of many modular buildings that come before it!
See below for regional pricing
The Boutique Hotel is a “corner modular”, which is quite fitting as the Corner Garage has only just retired recently, so this fills in the corner slot nicely.
Unlike previous modulars, which have mostly been Commercial buildings and businesses, the Boutique Hotel oozes class, charm and also a bit of quirkiness.
The set comes in five sections, including;
Each hotel room features distinct styles of furniture and requires varied building techniques, whilst the art gallery features several tributes to Cubist art.
The set also features a unique angled shape, which requires some unusual LEGO geometry, providing a new modular building experience for collectors.
To celebrate the 15th Anniversary of LEGO Modulars, LEGO Designer Anderson Grubb has filled the Boutique Hotel with an incredible amount of Easter Eggs, call-backs and references to the Modular Buildings that came before, and while building the set, it was really enjoyable reading, and learning about these references, which are included as factoids in the instruction manual.
Very fitting for a 15th anniversary model, and a perfect way to pay homage to previous sets, while still being a truly original design.
The exteriors and colours are something else – especially the introduction of these flesh-coloured bricks and walls for the second level, but I think the earth-toned colours work really well here, and it’s something we haven’t quite scene with Modular Buildings before.
Oh and how cool is this outdoor bar, and the Palm Tree, which is the codename for the set.
The set comes with a very healthy 7 minifigures, 2 Hotel Staff, a world traveller, an accountant, gallery owner, and a barista – personally, I like having Modular sets with plenty of minifigures, as it drastically improves the playability of the set.
An interesting comment by designer Anderson Grubb, in the press release – “It was really exciting to be working on the LEGO Boutique Hotel and to have the opportunity to design this in celebration of 15 years of the collection. When we approach the design for a modular building we are conscious of the previous sets and therefore want to create something that is new, that really compliments the collection. I am really happy with the final design, the variety of intriguing building techniques and all the nods to the previous Modular buildings.”
To me, this read as LEGO being aware of the skyrocketing price of older modulars, and how many new LEGO fans want remakes or re-issues of those. The fact that this is a Boutique Hotel, also seems to be a callback to the Cafe Corner, which features a Hotel, so maybe this is a compromise from LEGO, where they give us a new Modular Hotel, but it’s not THE hotel.
And last but not least, here’s a look at how the Boutique Hotel connects with the Police Station, and Bookshop.
Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed this reveal of the 2022 LEGO Modular Boutique Hotel! I’ll be sharing my review tomorrow, to give the news a little time to simmer, so keep your eyes out for my full review if all goes well tomorrow!
In the meantime, enjoy more photos below!

This is a well made video in terms of editing and info about each set aside from a few mistakes here and there but I have to disagree with about 90% of your list. The main shocks for me were how low you ranked the Brick Bank, and also how high you ranked the Bookshop. As someone who owns every single modular except for Market Street, id say I'm able to compile a pretty fair and for the most part unbiased list. I give a lot more credit to the exterior of the modular's due to the fact that they are display pieces and feel that the interior is less important but still an area which needs accounting for, therefore I would rank some of the older modular's higher due to their exceptionally realistic and well detailed exteriors which I feel allows some room for forgiveness with regards to their interiors. On the other hand there are some newer modular's which leave much to be desired on the exterior and don't seem to come together very well on the interior either.
So with all that said I give you my list:
17th - Market Street (Don't think this needs any explanation)
16th - Bookshop (One of the worst looking exteriors both in terms of details and colour scheme, cramped interior that isn't functional, quite a small set compared to others and looks out of place both in terms of colour scheme and size)
15th - Cafe Corner (Better exterior than the previous two sets but doesn't really stand out above any others, and lacks an interior)
14th - Grand Emporium (Exterior slightly better than Cafe Corner, also has an interior but leaves a lot to be desired as there isn't much of it)
13th - Palace Cinema (An ok exterior with a few nice details, interior is a let down, the limo could have been built so much better but has extremely weird proportions that make it look really strange)
12th - Town Hall (Not the best exterior, quite boring and lacks creativity but is still quite good, the interior is also good with an element of playability and its worth mentioning it is a large set)
11th - Petshop (Good exterior with some nice details and looks quite realistic, interior is more functional than the bookshops townhouse, however it could have been furnished better)
10th - Corner Garage (Similar story to the Town Hall, I feel its exterior is good but lacks creativity, however its interior is better with more details and the tow truck is well built)
9th - Downtown Diner (Controversial exterior and can look out of place but judging this by itself I think it is really well done with a unique look and great details. Its also quite satisfying to build and see come together. Its interior is really good too with lots of details and the 60's sedan is a great addition which is really well built)
8th - Boutique Hotel (Really nice colour scheme, shape of exterior is unique, however the art studio I feel is a waste of space which could have been utilised better and incorporated into the main building. That particular part of the exterior just left me wanting more, which can also be said for the interior. I feel the set could have done with a 2nd middle floor which would have allowed the interior to be laid out better)
7th - Green Grocer (Well built exterior, realistic and has a great colour scheme with nice details that more than make up for the lack of interior, however having said that the store is well furnished)
6th - Assembly Square (Overall solid set with great interior design throughout, is also the biggest set to date with a great exterior but it doesn't quite capture my attention like the top 5)
5th - Fire Brigade (One of the most realistic exteriors of any modular with a great colour scheme, has a great interior with lots of details, fire truck is well built too, this set deserves a lot of credit considering the quality of the other modular's released around its time)
4th - Parisian Restaurant (The modular that set the standard for the future, amazing details inside and out with a great colour scheme and playability, struggled to pick a winner between the top 4, only reason this is 4th is because I feel it could have been a little bigger and the others have a great storyline behind them)
3rd - Brick Bank (This was the first modular building that caught my attention and was the reason I started collecting them so my decision here may be slightly biased but I feel it is well justified, the realism and colour scheme of the exterior is amazing, it looks quite modern because of the colour scheme and it has so many great details, the interior while only having two floors does everything it needs to, it is well furnished and has a nice feel to it, and lastly the playability and storyline of the set is a standout feature which for me just tips it into 3rd place)
2nd - Police Station (Amazing exterior again which I feel has a great colour scheme, despite the purple of the donut shop it is downplayed really well by the floorplan which uniquely creates two smaller buildings at either side of one large building. This means the colour of the donut shop isn't shoved in your face because it is so small and it fits so well. It also has amazing details and build techniques throughout, some of which allow for increased playability which combined with a great storyline means this is an overall solid set)
1st - Detectives Office (I think this is a personal favourite for many, a great colour scheme which is fitting for a barbers shop, mixed with another unique floorplan design giving an exterior that is so satisfying to build and look at from all angles. Its packed with amazing details inside and out, there isn't much to choose from between the top 2, or the top 4. Its just a matter of having to pick an order and being extremely picky about the trivial aspects of the overall sets)
Even if I would change the positions for a couple of buildings I am pretty satisfied with your ranking
Many kids love the modular construction series for the storyline opportunities. The LEGO is fantastic for where one individual can assemble and everyone plays. On your designer videos, it’s clear that you are excited about are the stories inside.
Though the story for every LEGO modular buildings is more abundant, I have wondered whether there’s a bigger story across these models: can it be all 1 city or are they only linked by the universal pin design?
