Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel
Pros
- Five fully-furnished floors — lobby, gallery, hotel rooms, rooftop lounge
- Art Deco facade with green-and-cream colour palette
- Built-in art gallery with three displayed paintings (rotates with mood)
- Modular base — connects to other Modular Buildings Collection sets
- Seven characters — guests, bellhop, gallery attendant
Cons
- Modular Building Collection footprint (32cm × 32cm base)
- Once you start the Modular collection, you'll want them all
- Some sticker work on the gallery painting tiles
LEGO Icons Jazz Club
Pros
- Three connected venues — jazz club, pizza place, tailor's shop
- Working stage with horn quartet and pianist setup
- New Orleans-style architecture with cast-iron balconies
- Seven characters with story-rich casting (musicians, server, tailor, customers)
- Modular base — connects to the [Boutique Hotel](/reviews/boutique-hotel) and other Modular sets
Cons
- $230 is on the higher end of recent Modular MSRPs
- Cast-iron balcony work is fiddly — small pieces, tight tolerances
- Limited gritty-NOLA character (set is more polished than authentic)
