This is my project "The Toy Store"! It's a three-storey building, which includes seven minifigures, the name-giving toy store on the ground floor and a full apartment on the upper two floors.

The store includes a counter with a cash register, some unopened boxes and, of course, tons of toys, like a green tractor, a rocket, a castle as well as a spaceship that's hanging from the ceiling and much more. I'm especially proud of the yellow excavator, which has most of the functions of a normal excavator but at such a small scale. There's also an eye-catching red steam locomotive hanging over the entrance as a store sign. On the left part of the ground floor is a secound entrance that leads to a stairway, which takes you to the apartment.

When entering the apartment you'll be standing in the dining room, which includes a coathanger, a dining table with two chairs as well as a rotary-dial telephone. Adjacent to the dining room there's the kitchen and the bathroom. The kitchen has a fridge, an oven, a sink as well as some kitchen utensils. In the bathroom there's a toilet along with a sink and a bathtub with a brush and soap. The top floor consist of the living room and the bedroom. In the living room we have comfortable red armchair, a TV and a record player with a bookshelf full of books and records. There are two doors in the living room, one leads you to a balcony, the other door brings you to the bedroom, in which you'll find a king-size bed with an aquarium and a bedside table.

The minifigure selection includes a lovely couple that's not only running the store and lives in the apartment, but they also have an interest in plants and flowers. Because of that you'll find many plant builds throughout the house. Then there's also two kids who went to the store with their mother and their grandfather. The seventh minifigure is a mailman with his carry bag and a letter he can deliver.

I've tried to include a lot of interesting building techniques in the build, there's quite a bit of upside down building and I used many snot(studs-not-on-top) techniques, especially for the exterior details. I also tried to have some interesting and detailed furniture builds, like the armchair or the bookshelf. The back walls of the upper two floors are also removable for better accesability.

I had a lot of fun designing the building with its ornate exterior, the miniature toys together with all the interior builds. I hope you like it, maybe even enough to give it a vote and help turn this into an actual set!
