I created this blog post today to consolidate everything I know about the
Hsanhe brand of small modular buildings, in case you are looking for them.
These little modulars were originally proposed to Lego Ideas CUUSOO back in
2012, but were rejected by Lego. Here's the link: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/15229.
There are six modular shops that feature well known store brands such as
McDonalds, Starbucks, Kentucky Fried Chicken, etc. They are part of the
Hsanhe series called Mini Street. To avoid trademark infringements, the
Hsanhe brand changed the names and logos of the stores.
These six buildings are minifigure scale and each set comes with two different
minifigures, typically a shop clerk and a customer. Please note that
Hsanhe makes a smaller set of shop buildings that are not minifigure
scale. I've seen some errant listings for them on Aliexpress, where they
depict standard minifigures standing next to the smaller buildings, but you
would be disappointed if you got those ones because they are a different scale
and the smaller building sets don't come with any minifigures, so please be
careful when ordering.
Here's the list of the six modular buildings:
Shop Name | Hsanhe Model Name | Set Number | Number of Pieces |
Dunkin Donuts | Sweet Shop | 6409-1 | 193 |
Apple Store | Apple Store | 6409-2 | 184 |
Starbucks | Corner Coffee | 6410-1 | 190 |
Seven Eleven | Seven Shop | 6410-2 | 208 |
KFC | KFE Shop | 6411-1 | 188 |
McDonalds | Fast Food Shop | 6411-2 | 194 |
Here are some pictures of the set packaging. I've also customized some
of the building sets to make them bigger and added more details. Links
to my set reviews and customizations can be found below.
The Sweet Shop 6409-1

The Apple Store 6409-2

The Seven shop 6410-2
The KFE shop 6411-1
The Fast Food Restaurant 6411-2

I got the entire set of buildings off Aliexpress for about 5 or 6 USD each, but that was back in June 2016 and I think due to their popularity, the prices of the little modular sets have gone up to just under $10 USD each.
So lepin wasn't the first to steal from rejected Lego Ideas CUUSOO! Great info. I wish we all knew about the mysterious lepin
