It was great fun getting to play about with the sets and see all those lovely details I'd forgotten about since building.

If any of the better photographers on have any tips on how to avoid glare on the faces I'd be very grateful!

Inspired by some posts on here I wanted to integrate my minifigs into sets, and the Parisian Street is one of my absolute favourites.

The set - Bricklink Parisian Street 910032

The dust - worse than I thought before seeing the photos

I'd been really looking forward to this set and it didn't disappoint! Ordered it from Amazon with 10% discount, but I'd have still been happy with it at full price.

• Nice selection of minifigs - 5, plus the lovely horse, and a giant cooked turkey.
• The first couple of bags focus on the mechanism for the interior which swivels the pews. It's nicely complex and works well. The rest of the removable interior is really nicely dressed and would make a nice display on its own (though it's a shame the mechanism isn't covered at the front of the base). I took some of the printed pieces from the inside and scattered them outside so they could be seen, including the two prints from the ring-drawer which I attached to the cactus.
• The building itself isn't overly complex, but really enjoyable, like building a brick-art set. It's really satisfying to fit each panel on, and I love the finished rustic wood effect. The tower was the most fun to build and really makes the set more eye catching. It seemed like it was going to be a smaller building, but it has a heft once it's finished and looks great with other Wild West sets.
• I love that you can easily remove the roof panel and get a full view of the interior.
• Lighting was simple compared to some sets but it's well spread out and lights up the set nicely. The interior lights are very bright when you have the roof panel removed but that's not a complaint. The touch sensor to turn on those lights can only be accessed with the roof removed. I can take or leave the touch-lights as I like my sets fully lit up, but if you like that kind of thing it works really well.
• My only real complaint is that while the battery pack fits seamlessly into the build, the black USB connecting to the battery pack really sticks out (right where the carriage wheel is in the first photo). The wire is quite long, so I ended up just moving the battery pack to the back of the building, which meant I could settle the horse and carriage on that side instead.

All in all a really nice addition that I'd definitely recommend! Fingers crossed they release some of those lovely town sets soon.
