Shopping Street (LEGO 11371)

About this set

LEGO 11371 Shopping Street sits in the LEGO Icons line as a 3456-piece street building with a 5/5 difficulty rating, so treat it as a serious build rather than a quick evening project. The finished model is a corner building with a tower, and the facade mixes white, green, blue, brown and gold. Awnings, signage, balconies, street lamps and a fountain give the street real depth, while the minifigures add everyday life to the scene. For the build order, start with the main walls and floor plates of the corner structure and make sure the angle lines up before adding the tower and balconies. Signage, awnings and lamps involve plenty of small parts, so attach them after the main body is closed up, and place the fountain last when you lay out the street. With this part count and difficulty, work bag by bag and check alignment at each level instead of rushing. It suits builders with street-scene experience who enjoy facades and corner compositions, and anyone displaying several modular-style buildings side by side; newcomers should practice on smaller sets first.
