LEGO 11371 Shopping Street next to almost every modular building

LEGO Icons 11371 Shopping Street is joining the other modular buildings in a few weeks, and we now know what it looks like next to every other set.

Following the reveal of the 2026 modular building earlier this week, you're probably wondering where the model should go in your collection, and which buildings it's going to look best next to. Play Well Portugal has answered that question, placing the 2026 modular building next to almost every other set in the range, not including unofficial entries such as the superhero buildings.

LEGO Icons 11371 Shopping Street 1 1 1200x675

They mention that they have not compared it to 10190 Market Street, but this is a fantastic starting point for modular building collectors, despite that. From modern entries to the original sets, here's a look at how you can display 11371 Shopping Street when the set launches on January 1, 2026, for £229.99 / $249.99 / €249.99.

10255 Assembly Square and 10297 Boutique Hotel

11371 Shopping Street is most comparable in layout to 10255 Assembly Square, with multiple buildings in one model and a natural break in the row of buildings via a small courtyard area. The new 2026 set goes nicely with 10255 Assembly Square to the left, pairing the dark blue spires together.

11371 Shopping Street looks good with 10297 Boutique Hotel on either side. On the right, the lower art gallery section blends well with the shorter furniture store building. On the left, you don't see as much of the exposed colours in 10297 Boutique Hotel, and there's another spire that pairs well with that of 11371 Shopping Street.

10350 Tudor Corner and 10326 Natural History Museum

11371 Shopping Street will launch in a year when only 10350 Tudor Corner and 10326 Natural History Museum are available, and both buildings look great next to the 2026 model on either side. The roof lines flow well, no matter what, but 10350 Tudor Corner's staircase looks particularly good on the right of 11371 Shopping Street.

10312 Jazz Club and 10278 Police Station

When paired with 10312 Jazz Club (which is retiring soon) and the retiring 10278 Police Station, 11371 Shopping Street complements either building nicely in both orientations. The look of the two colourful awnings next to each other, with the furniture store next to the donut shop, looks especially good, but there are also colourful awnings on the pizzeria to consider.

10270 Bookshop and 10264 Corner Garage

11371 Shopping Street can also be combined with 10270 Bookshop and 10264 Corner Garage, and arguably the best-looking arrangement for these buildings is putting the garage on the left to avoid leaving a blank wall open and visible. The flow between the furniture store and the book shop looks enticing as well, with some bright and autumnal colours blending well together.

10260 Downtown Diner and 10251 Brick Bank

11371 Shopping Street goes surprisingly well with 10260 Downtown Diner on the left, with plenty of curved features between the two buildings that complement one another. 10251 Brick Bank looks good on either side of the 2026 building, and it makes sense within the context of the street to have either a bank to the right of a furniture store or a laundromat to the left of an instrument store.

10246 Detective's Office and 10243 Parisian Restaurant

One of the best arrangements for 11371 Shopping Street is to place 10246 Detective's Office to the right of the new model, thanks to the similar height and architecture between the furniture store and the office building. The blue building doesn't flow as well with the white building on the left, though it's not terrible. 10243 Parisian Restaurant has always been a more challenging set to pair with other modular buildings, but it looks decent on either side of 11371 Shopping Street.

10232 Palace Cinema and 10224 Town Hall

Those aiming to pair 11371 Shopping Street with 10224 Town Hall will almost certainly want to position the towering building to the left of the upcoming release, as the height difference between it and the music shop is staggering, literally overshadowing the pigeon coop on the roof. 10232 Palace Cinema looks better on this side, thanks to the similar colours between it and the music store.

10218 Pet Shop and 10211 Grand Emporium

Similar to the town hall, it looks like 11371 Shopping Street shouldn't be placed to the left of 10211 Grand Emporium, thanks to the significant height difference. The white building on the right is at a similar height, creating a better flow in the roof line. 10218 Pet Shop's structures look better on the right, and you could create a storyline where the pigeons are trying to pinch some food from the pet shop.

10197 Fire Brigade and 10185 Green Grocer

The further you go back, the more stark differences you can see in the LEGO modular buildings. The differences become much more evident when comparing 11371 Shopping Street next to 10197 Fire Brigade and 10185 Green Grocer. Play Well Portugal's showcased arrangement with 10185 Green Grocer on the right makes a lot of sense, considering the return of some long-dormant elements. It doesn't help that there's a significant height difference between the furniture store and the firehouse, though.

10182 Cafe Corner

10182 Cafe Corner is the first LEGO modular building, and next to the latest, 11371 Shopping Street, you can see just how far this collection has come. It looks decent on either side, but the spires look better when paired together on the left.

LEGO Icons 11371 Shopping Street will launch on January 1, 2026, for £229.99 / $249.99 / €249.99. With two other modular buildings retiring soon and now sold out, you can expand your street with 10350 Tudor Corner and 10326 Natural History Museum.
