Notes

  • All sets in the series feature a number of common attributes. These attributes include:
    • A light-grey tiled curb one stud in width
    • Dark grey tiled sidewalk
    • Metallic grey grille elements acting as storm drains
    • A white fluted lamp post with a translucent-clear minifig head acting as the lamp and topped with a white 2 x 2 dish
    • The buildings themselves are placed approximately 7 studs away from the front edge of their baseplates, although this can vary based on other decorations and structures along the front face of the buildings
    • All buildings go edge-to-edge on two sides of their baseplates to enable the buildings to lock together side by side. For straight-side buildings, the two edge sides are opposite of one another; for corner buildings, the two edge sides are perpendicular.
    • On each flush edge, two 1 x 2 Technic bricks with a single hole in the side, mounted at the base of the building exactly 10-11 and 22-23 studs from the curbside edge. These act as mounting points so that 1 x 2 technic pins can be placed in them and the buildings can lock together and remain flush.
  • All of the sets before 2018 include minifigures with the classic face (except 10190 Market Street as it has newer ones).
  • All of the sets have a recommended age of 16+ except 10224 Town Hall, which is recommended for 14+, and 10190 Market Street, which is recommended for 10+.
  • The set 70620 Ninjago City and 70657 Ninjago City Docks is compatible with the Modular Buildings series.
