It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly five years since 10182 Cafe Corner was released. The latest LEGO Exclusive addition to the modular building series takes the structure’s scale to a new level, with the 2,766-piece 10224 Town Hall, due out next month.

Keep the wheels of commerce turning with the authentic Town Hall!This classic 3-storey town hall building is the latest addition to the LEGO® Modular Buildings series. This highly-detailed model features large entrance-way columns and coat of arms, a tall bell tower with clock and a large skylight giving a view inside the building. On the ground floor, the large hall, tax office and auditorium are perfect for servicing the town’s citizens. Take the working elevator up to the secretary and mayor’s offices on the second floor, furnished eloquently with desks, chairs, paintings and even a frog sculpture. There’s even a balcony for addressing the town’s citizens. On the third floor, a spacious meeting room features a large conference table, chairs, globe and plants. Includes 8 minifigures: mayor, secretary, bride and groom, press woman, janitor and 2 children.

Are those new pillars around the front door?
No, they’re not, at least not in terms of being new parts. They’re custom-built using parts like these:

The entire column is then rotated 45 degrees and results in a column approximately 3 studs by 3 studs. Quite ingenious, in my opinion.
Is it unusual for all of the minifigs to be using the same basic face?
It is unusual for the classic smiley to be used in the sense that no other modern LEGO lines use it, but it isn’t unusual for the modular buildings. All of the figs in the CC line have had the classic face except for Market Street, which was primarily fan-designed and used parts available in LEGO Factory.
