UTAustinBL Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone. I recreated of the New York's City's candy store, Dylan's Candy Bar, all completely in Legos. Candy MOCs are a rare sight in the Lego community these days, and I figured it would be a treat (pun intended) to offer the Lego world a realistic model of a great amazing candy store. This candy store has everything you would expect a candy store to have: jelly bean machines, chocolate bunny, candy shelves with chocolate dripping of the top sides, lollipops, cotton candy wagons, peppermint seats, and on and on! A lot of these furniture like the jelly bean machine and the chocolate bunny have never been created in Lego before so I hope to offer a new change! This Lego set is not edible though! :D More photos here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/6d80876d-eef7-4da8-8ca3-258d2603637d Hopefully you have 'sweet' time enjoying these colorful pics!

Creativebrick Studio 117 Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Looks really cool. I just supported it on LEGO IDEAS. Quote
UTAustinBL Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 Thank you @Creativebrick Studio 117 :) I'm happy you liked it. Quote
Creativebrick Studio 117 Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 I like the overall candy store idea, and feel we could use it a bit more in the LEGO city. Quote
UTAustinBL Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) My initial draft of Dylan's Candy Bar was actually a modular version of this candy store and I would have loved to submit it to Lego Ideas. However, it took way too many pieces; most approved ideas on Lego Ideas typically fall <2000 pieces. All modulars that have been submitted thus far since 2014 have been rejected. A lot of open-sets (no roofs- full displays) had most success in approval. It would be nice for someone to add a suitable rooftop to this set or even integrate it into an existing mall!

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Wow, I simply love the cotton candy ...very well done! Quote
Overcold Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) This is very well designed. Makes me want to go back and finish my own candy store MOC I was making a little while ago. The colors are fantastic, and the micro-builds are impressive. The use of the technic pulley wheel as a lolipop display stand is so simple and mind blowing. The M&M dispenser is fantastic, so is the cotton candy cart. Despite the immense amount of details, the clutter is not overwhelming and makes it easy to keep looking for surprising details.

UTAustinBL Posted April 24, 2019 Author Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks Overcold, :) its great to hear extensive feedback and am happy to hear that the furniture looks realistic! Quote
iammac Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I'm happy to see a small "playable" set from time to time. This one is very festive. MAC Quote
