For me it was Cafe Corner (10182). Probably a cliche by now, but unlike most of my sets that are dissembled and integrated soon after completion Cafe Corner has remained built. I build mostly structures, so as well as adopting some of the techniques and styles of the set, I place each new building I make next to it. If the building isn’t as detailed, or looks toyish by comparison, it gets revamped unitl it meets a simliar level of detail and artfullness of Cafe Corner. I am hoping that Market Street (10190) will have a similar effect on my building.

What LEGO set took your building to the next level?


    10020 Santa Fe Super Chief
436 elements, 2 figures, US$40, 2002
LEGO > SYSTEM > Trains > 9v > Locomotives
was quite a Eureka moment for me. SNOT construction and realism all at a scale (:P 8-widers) that made me thing I could do something like that. For a long time I used it as my ultimate goal... to make a toy that looked like a real train... and then I got pedantic ;)
