Review: 72161 Drone Search for Mythical Mew
Long before Grogu, another cute, rare, powerful, and seemingly ageless creature was sought after for its special properties—in the hopes of engineering ultimate beings . With this set, you too can search for such a mythical marvel, but hopefully for some less nefarious purposes. Back in my day, Mew was a schoolyard legend, as finding it needed a glitchy miracle, and the process was not a simple internet search away! Now kids can just use a drone—and a surprisingly fun one at that! Please note, this set does not contain a SMART Brick. Continue reading » © 2026 Brickset.com .

Which is the best modular building?
The first phase of our quest to determine your favourite modular building is complete. Over 4,000 votes were cast in our poll which was used to whittle down 21 contenders to just eight. Those eight are as follows, grouped in seeded pairs for the quarter-finals of the knockout phase of the contest: 10255 Assembly Square 10251 Brick Bank 10297 Boutique Hotel 10350 Tudor Corner 10260 Downtown Diner 10246 Detective's Office 10326 Natural History Museum 10243 Parisian Restaurant The next stage will hopefully commence on Monday with the first two of the four quarter-final contests. But we need your help: we need people to advocate for them, to write a paragraph or two about why people should vote for their set rather than their competitor. If you'd like to do so, just drop a note in the comments stating which one you'd like to advocate for and I'll be in touch. I've listed the unsuccessful buildings and the number of votes they received after the break. I'm a little surprised that the latest one didn't get much love...

Poll: Which is your favourite modular building?
It's approaching the time of year when the next modular building will be revealed, so ahead of that we are going to find out which one of the 21 released so far you think is the best. This is how it will work. First, we will conduct a poll to whittle the 21 down to eight. The eight with the highest number of votes will then compete in a three-round knockout phase, which we like to call Brickset bouts , to determine the overall winner. We considered starting with 16 and having four rounds, but that would drag on too long. As we have done in previous bouts, we will ask if you'd like to advocate for one of the contenders during the knockout phase, to 'big it up' against its rival, so have a think about whether that's something you'd like to do. So, without further ado, please pick your favourite modular building from the list below: Which is your favourite Modular Building? 10182 Cafe Corner"> 10182 Cafe Corner 10190 Market Street"> 10190 Market Street 10185 Green Grocer"> 10185 Green Grocer 10197 Fire Brigade"> 10197 Fire Brigade 10211 Grand Emporium"> 10211 Grand Emporium 10218 Pet Shop"> 10218 Pet Shop 10224 Town Hall"> 10224 Town Hall 10232 Palace Cinema"> 10232 Palace Cinema 10243 Parisian Restaurant"> 10243 Parisian Restaurant 10246 Detective's Office"> 10246 Detective's Office 10251 Brick Bank"> 10251 Brick Bank 10255 Assembly Square"> 10255 Assembly Square 10260 Downtown Diner"> 10260 Downtown Diner 10264 Corner Garage"> 10264 Corner Garage 10270 Bookshop"> 10270 Bookshop 10278 Police Station"> 10278 Police Station 10297 Boutique Hotel"> 10297 Boutique Hotel 10312 Jazz Club"> 10312 Jazz Club 10326 Natural History Museum"> 10326 Natural History Museum 10350 Tudor Corner"> 10350 Tudor Corner 11371 Shopping Street"> 11371 Shopping Street © 2026 Brickset.com .
