  1. Ooooh Big week for early reveals ! Yesterday were the 2024 Modular early pics, and today: my second best collection : CMF Serie , the 25 th of the name ! Not the largest selection for me to buy, but 2 definite yes : the goat herder and the dog groomer with that elegant Afghan Hound to enlarge my dog collection. A maybe for the lady with the kettlebell who will fit perfectly in the gym (upstairs of the Downtown Diner), a maybe/maybe not for the dark detective, who can work in Detective Office. unfortunately, the last time I bought CMF was earlier this year with some minifigs from Serie 24, when we still had the chance to feel the bags. Don’t even know if the Toys’r’us nearby keeps them anymore, when I read about the free for all with open/destroyed boxes… I guess I’ll have to buy them from EBay or else… too bad

    Or better: a media center - tabloid office with presses, television set and radio station !

    How about « The Glass Curators » ?

    And still, a post box near the bench … we can already speculate on the next modular - which should be a corner one - the much coveted Post Office ! But let’s enjoy this one for December 1st !?

    Overall, it seems like a yes for me: I like the roof line, reminds me somehow of the PR. The pillars, the portal and the stairs in front of the entrance share many resemblances with TH. I will place them on the same street, but not side to side. For the color scheme, I will give the benefit of the doubt - I disliked the ones on JC, but when I saw the official reveal with more contrasts than on the initial pictures, it grew a little on me (not my favorite though). I thought it would be taller: the details of the model mentionned the office of the curator on the third floor … an inside mezzanine perhaps ? On the outside, it looks like the FB: a tall 2 stories building instead of a 3 stories construction.
  6. How about the little hat people wear with their national costume in Bolivia - that would be so cool !

    Now that the theme is known, what I’m eager to see are the dimensions and the color scheme; first: will it be very tall or very large ? In older cities, the tallest building is often a church or the town hall; then I assume that it shouldn’t be taller than TH. For the number of pieces, it has to be on two plates. With AS, the mini buildings with their different shapes and colors made the whole block appear not too massive. Also, the fountain in the middle made a recess on the building (flower and photo studio behind it), so the façade of the whole ensemble wasn’t all gathered near the main sidewalk, it made the area more open. second: will it be monochromatic or will the aisles be of a different color ? If it’s too much of a same hue, it will dwarf all the buildings around it. The shape of the whole thing will also play a major role of the curb appeal it will produce. I guess I will have some major city rearrangements to do next January, but hey, it’s Lego ! So everything is easy and possible !

    Since it will be a natural history museum, a little touch of earth green (too rarely used) for accents with gray for the stoneworks and brown for wood would go with the concept

    Maybe there won’t have the new mould that you are searching for, but you surely will find some old molds 😆in that museum !

    Too bad for my hospital; I guess I’ll have to wait until the next anniversary set; I hope it will be of a classical architecture style

    go to bricksfanatics.com 10255 Assembly Square references 10 years of modulars - an excellent article that was published on 17/10/2016 all the design styles, the techniques used, the colors that have been chosen in earlier modulars are described in this new anniversary environment

    Assembly square is also an interesting choice for someone entering the world of Modulars since it includes Easter eggs details of all the sets that came before. I wonder if they will do the same concept for the future 20th anniversary Modular, not too far away in the future.
  13. What a nice idea ! I’ll vote for that motion 🇨🇦

    A few years ago - I can’t remember which modular it was - the reveal was made, either from a leak or the official thing, well before Thanksgiving. It was a picture from the set or at least the theme was known. I should search from previous posts. i just found it: with DD, the images were shown (maybe not officially) on November 18. I can’t go back further, I was a newbie on this forum then ☺️
