Sometimes I'm sad that I came so late to Lego Modular City kits - so many old sets I'd have to pay out the nose for now!
But I'm coming to think it's a good thing - it's encouraged me to be creative, instead. Working on a custom build with a Chinese restaurant on the ground floor and offices above.
I quickly bought the currently-available sets, and if I could still buy the old ones, I might've just kept doing that for a long time. Instead I'm going off the beaten path now. It's a lot more work and will take a lot longer to fill out a satisfying street, but it's making me flex creative muscles!
Always gonna keep buying and building retail sets too, though - for me, there's something almost meditative about just sorting out the pieces and following the instructions. It's relaxing in a way that creative building is more draining.
