LEGO has revealed the latest entry in their popular Modular Building series, 10260 Downtown Diner. The three-story building features a 1950s-style diner along with a gym and recording studio, and also includes six minifigures and a car. The set will have 2,480 pieces and will retail for $169.99 USD when it goes on sale January 1, 2018.

See more of this set below.

As fans of the modular line have come to expect, clever designs abound, with lots of great architectural details and unusual parts used in ingenious ways, including a fully tiled exterior, curved window, and lots of curved tiles.





At first glance, the set is a departure from the classic styles of architecture in previous modular buildings, opting instead for a more Streamline Moderne styling. As usual, it is packed with detail and several new parts, including new flower stalks, along with the flower heads and leaves we’ve seen in other 2018 sets.

In another departure from previous Modular Buildings, 10260 Downtown Diner includes six minifigures that feature stylized printed faces, a few even coming with two expressions. Previous Modular Buildings have exclusively used the classic LEGO smile face. The figures here include a chef, waitress, boxer, rock star, manager and a bodybuilder (with boxing glove hands).









In addition to the traditional brick-built lettering, LEGO is bringing back the color teal in grand fashion. Teal (also known as Dark Turquoise or Bright Bluish Green according to LEGO) has not been in production since 2005, though we can’t confirm yet if this is precisely the same shade as the old Teal.





The 10260 Downtown Diner will be the third-largest modular building after 10255 Assembly Square (read our review here) and 10251 Brick Bank. Those three modular buildings will join a total of five modular buildings currently on sale with 10243 Parisian Restaurant and 10246 Detective’s Office. As indicated by sales and a “Retiring Soon” label at the LEGO Shop at Home store, 10232 Palace Cinema will soon be removed from production.

Downtown Diner is also the first modular building to come with a car since the Palace Cinema, a pink 1950s Cadillac Eldorado-style convertible.





Unlike many other large exclusive sets, there does not appear to be VIP early access for this set before it goes on sale to the general public on January 1, 2018, according to the information LEGO has provided us.
