This LEGO Modular Is INSANE — Grand Emporium 10211 (2010) Review!

Take a trip back in time with us as we revisit the retired LEGO Grand Emporium 10211 (2010) — a modular building now over 15 years old! This iconic department store is a fan favorite, but the big question is: does it still hold up in 2026? In today’s video, we unbox, build, and review this classic department store from top to bottom. Opening a sealed copy of a long-retired modular is a rare treat, and we’re taking a deep dive into everything this set gets right (and where age is starting to show). Here’s what we cover: 🛍️ Unboxing a sealed, retired LEGO modular — what condition are the bags, stickers, and manuals in after 15+ years? 🏛️ Full floor-by-floor tour of the Grand Emporium ❗ Brittle brown & brittle red — which pieces survived, which cracked, and what to look out for 🧱 Tips for replacing fragile bricks from aging color batches ✨ How its design compares to modern modular buildings 💬 Our final verdict: Is this one of the greatest modulars ever made — and is it still worth the price on the aftermarket? 👍 If you enjoyed this video, be sure to leave a like and subscribe! 🔔 Subscribe for awesome new LEGO videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOMettsQdvrut0U6a-PfzoA?sub_confirmation=1 - 🧱 LEGO Videos Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVQhk1p_FiQ&list=PLxLRPIexnk5w_JJ8MGbop2LJfrUsV1A8i 💥 LEGO Shopping Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjgq-GrFyHc&list=PLxLRPIexnk5xgBowJfM9DiGHu_piCoIAw&index=4 🏡 LEGO City Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVQhk1p_FiQ&list=PLxLRPIexnk5yetjnAHCaTPFNzHsdz8SeV 🚘 LEGO Speed Builds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtuK06C2Wso&list=PLxLRPIexnk5yiqEo1idO0kjRxvAxaGmv4 📲 LEGO Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNflOoufB70&list=PLxLRPIexnk5zKyh7Np_Bx4xZnsjnR1E-Y&index=2 - Subscribe on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOMettsQdvrut0U6a-PfzoA Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/oldmountainbricks/ Threads - https://www.threads.net/oldmountainbricks X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/OldMtBricks Contact us: oldmountainbricks(at)gmail.com Link Tree - https://linktr.ee/oldmountain From the LEGO Website: The LEGO® Modular Buildings series continues with this spectacularly detailed 3-story department store, designed in a realistic scale with lots of special building techniques and rare pieces. On the street outside, citizens carry shopping bags, send letters at the mailbox, admire the window mannequins, then cool off at the ice cream stand while a busy window washer works above. Enter through the revolving doors to discover a ground-floor clothing department, complete with a cash register, fitting room, hats, jewelry, perfume, and even a selection of spare trousers. A brick-built escalator carries customers to the second floor housewares department with glassware and golden plates for special occasions, and then it’s up to the top floor for the toy department (complete with toy house and push-scooter) with an impressive chandelier above the open atrium. Up on the roof are a billboard and skylight! #LEGO
