Crafting a Mini Daiso Shop Inspired by Oxford Blocks Stickers

 

Hey brick fans,

I just spent 3 days making a little Daiso shop.  Daiso is a discount store chain in Asia that is similar to North American dollar stores. This 16x32 stud modular building was inspired by a sticker sheet from an Oxford Blocks building block set.

It's from a Daiso truck set that I bought while visiting South Korea.  Here's a review I made for that set: https://bricktoyreviews.blogspot.com/2025/09/oxford-blocks-daiso-truck-building.html.

Here's a few more pics of my custom Daiso shop.

I made it from spare bricks in my stash, a smorgasbord of white bricks, panels and some masonry bricks.  I used some red plates as accent pieces around the building's top perimeter. I used two of the three Daiso logo stickers on the exterior and one inside the shop.

The Daiso shop has two employees, the store manager and her assistant.  Also pictured is the delivery drive of the Oxford Blocks Daiso truck.


The Daiso shop conforms to my city building standards which is constructed on a raised baseplate and has the yellow tactile bricks known as tenji blocks on the sidewalk.

I used a simple light brick placed on the underside of the removable roof to illuminate the shop's interior.

Here's some interior shots.  I placed shelving with different types of product on the walls and center of the shop.


There's a self checkout by the entrance with the store logo visible on the wall.

Although it's currently set up as a single storey building, I have futureproofed it by adding an elevator shaft in case I decide to add more floor space later.


Here's the shop added to my city layout.   Let me know what you think of the shop.  Would you have done anything different?   Let me know in the comments, thanks for looking!

Bye for now!
