LEGO Downtown Diner 10260

Oh, by far, my favorite modular. I love every bit of this set. Every floor has tons of fun details and playability. I'm a restaurant manager so I really took to the diner, the checkered floor, and the JUKEBOX, oh I love the jukebox so much. The exhaust system is a gorgeous, accurate touch that I didn't expect. The seating is great, the gumball machine is so cute and could easily be turned into Tom Servo from MST3K if one were inclined to do so. The gym has the beautiful red boxing ring that was a lot of fun to build, and the boxing bag is perfect, though I wish there was a spot to stand minifigures on the red pieces. The third floor is the least interesting and is STILL awesome, if that tells you any idea how much I love this set. The recording booth with the sound material is so clever! The exterior of the set has a lot to show for, too, it's not just a front showing one like most of them are. The side with the stairs is perfect to have on the end of a display. The diner sign itself was really cool to do. And the Pink Cadillac! TRY not singing that song when you build it! (There may be an age requirement on that reference) So many awesome building techniques in this one, added to the gorgeous facade and interiors, makes this the winner for me. Is it my favorite of ALL sets? I dunno, the Tree House and Barracuda Bay and this are all such stunning sets, I can't really pick one, so I'll just leave them all as an equal top three. I added some lights myself, not one of those expensive custom sets, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Highly, highly recommended. Hopefully you can find it for a decent price now that it's retired!
