Green Grocer Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Over that last few years Green Grocer has been a particularly good investment for Advanced Models collectors with an annualized growth of upwards of 13.2% per year. However, there is market indication that the set will experience a slight annual growth decrease in the coming years, but this should be only by a few percentage points at most. When compared to the vast majority of set in the Advanced Models theme, this set is still an excellent investment for collectors.”

“This is an incredible set and the best of the three in my opinion. It is hard to top Cafe Corner but I believe Green Grocer just did. I absolutely love all the details and building techniques that went into making this set. There is a ton of different parts and wide color... More selection.”
The Bearded Nerd
“The end result is simply lovely. The grocer itself is very quaint and extremely detailed, with an exquisite tiled floor which extends to the side passage, which houses mail boxes, stairs to the apartment and a passage to the back alley. ”

Essential for any expanding street — “A superb set, unfortunately hard to find as any modular street would be so much the poorer for not having it. There are a few clues as to its age, but the shop is second to none, the flooring is superb and the stock is marvellous.”
