The name can be seen in this pic:

[dunamis]

Yep, I picked up my calendar at the LEGO store last week and saw this. The 7776 Shipwreck is already out so hopefully, this won't be far behind.

[phoinix]

corner cafe must be the result of this

[gylman]

Wow! It sounds like TLC really took to heart some of the comments the AFOLs have made in the last couple of years.

A modular city building system came up frequently on the suggestions.

This could be excellent!!

[legomilk]

Big cool set from city *wub*

[Asuka]

Sounds like great news, perhaps. Cool find, thank you, legomilk and sam89 and phoinix for those pics! *y*

[Sir Dillon]

I think this explains a little more about what it might look like:

[phoinix]

cant wait to see the finall model

so this year lego gives us 2 creator houses and one modular building!!

things are going very well for the AFOL community this year..

the only problem is that i think this set will be a S@H ecxlusive and so it will be hard to get for those of us that dont have that option...

[Hobbes]

How could I miss this thread 8-

[CopMike]

Aha Hobbes - your daily fix (except LEGO of course) is coffee - mine is Red Bull. I

[catch-22]

If we see anything close to those prototypes become actual sets, not only will they be going back to their roots and classic design, but they'll also blow most classic sets out of the water.

Very exciting!

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

If it actually looks like what you showed us... thats gonna be awesome.

[Holodoc]

Another building set for this year? Whoow, that

[Hobbes]

There will always be a way to let you US-guys participate in cool sets only sold in Europe. :-P ;-)

Let me know if I can help you (ordering/shipping)!

The problem's not the US, "European" sets eventually show up there. phoinix's "problem" is that he lives in Cyprus/Greece where S@H isn't available;-)

I got that wrong, interpreted "us" as "US". :-$

But hey, my offer also counts for Cyprus, of course. That would be even cheaper than sending sets over the great waters. ;-)

[xwingyoda]

Great find guys !! Tks for all your info regarding that Cafe Corner !!

I am so anxious to see the result of what could be the ultimate city set for '07 (just before the upcomming port IMO) ;-)

Wow, seriously, '07 is getting better and better 8-

I commmented on this in another thread recently (don't remeber which one) and I can't wait to see some of this set. I just realized that I also posses that little Lego store Calendar thing that Sam posted, the same US version.

By the way: Is there an explanation for those 5-digit numbers? Are all of these exclusive sets?

I have never paid any attention to that, but now that I do some reashearch I see you are correct.

[Athos]

Ooooh. This could be good.

I believe so, remakes or shop@home exclusives. However you can sometimes find them in shops aswell.

[legomilk]

is a set from 90 to 150 euro

:'-(

it,s a big creator set i hope so.

[WesternOutlaw]

I'm looking forward to seeing what Lego comes up with. In looking at the images, I really like the bank. I just hope the set isn't too costly.

[casewindu]

i think i speak for all of us here when i say this is argueably the best year for lego ever! :-D *yoda*

[Professor Flitwick]

will this set actually have any people with it? and 150 eurofor a cafe what are they thinking? and on that page were it gives ideas like a hotal or bank or firehouse, what on earth do they have to do with cafes?

casewindu, i totaly agree with you *y* one great year, though it could always be better.
