With the release of 10197 Fire Brigade the sets that where designed by Jamie Berard are now all released.
I was wandering if anybody knows if Lego has plans to continue the series or will Lego go over to something else?

I'm sure that a lot of it hangs up on how well the series sold! with around €150 a pop i'm sure that most of the people
that purchased the sets where Afol's and not so much the children witch Lego primary target is.

I for myself would love the series to continue and hope the next three are already being planed.

That would be great! I agree that the modular houses series is intended to attract us AFOLs. The sets are quiet expensive for children (collecting all costs a fortune for AFOLs as well... ) and the playability is not that high. They are meant to be displayed and admired. I would be happy if we some more factory sets like "market street" as well. I hope they sold quiet a lot copies so they continue the series. We have plenty of space to add at least five more buildings...

I am praying that they continue to release these buildings. They are absolutely magnificent - a riot of colour and detail, but still looking realistic and reminiscent of cities we all know . When people see my collection the thing that blows them away the most, the "wow, I didn't know you could do this with LEGO" comment, comes from the street that has Cafe Corner, Market Street, and Green Grocer on it. And soon a fire station will go up on that street. It's too beautiful for words.


If anything will keep adults interested in LEGO, it will be this type of set. I think it's the best thing TLC ever made.

Are you listening Ambassadors???!!!

I am sad to hear, though, that we have just seen the last of a series designed by one person. I hope that whoever takes up the mantle will do equally good work. I would not want the designer of something as sterile and repetitive as that Taj Mahal set to be making these sets.

I totally agree with you, gylman. Actually I don't know if I would have come back from my dark ages if I wouldn't have seen the spectacular CC displayed in a toy shop in Paris (even if I originally came back as a Pirate sets fan! )

I really hope TLG will produce more of this kind of sets, specially cheaper ones like MS

[Ricecracker]

I don't know if they will or won't, but at Brickworld, Lego was conducting a survey regarding them, asking if you'd buy more, what you'd like in them, and what colours you'd like them in.

I really hope Lego continues to produce them. I have the first three, I can't afford the Fire Brigade yet... but as soon as I can afford it, I'll be getting it. I want a second copy of Green Grocer as well, so I can build it as a mirror image of itself and put it right next to my first one.

I want a bank and a post office, they can't discontinue this theme yet!

A modular school building with several floors would be wonderful!

I'd like to see one or two 16x32 modular buildings to go inbetween the really big models - this would let a town layout have more variety, and it would open up the modular building series to people with less money. And, since thinner building means less parts, we could get some buildings in really rare colors - sand red antique shop, anyone?

That would be great if they released some smaller sets in this style. Maybe have one or two floors instead of three.

I do not own any of the modular sets, but I am seriously considering getting Green Grocer while it is $30 off and Free Shipping on S@H.

If Lego made some smaller sets, I would be hooked on this line, but as of now, its an expensive line to collect.

[Fumoffu]

I hope Lego will continue too. I think at the end of the day the best way to convince Lego to continue with the series is to continue to buy them. As long as the series makes enough money for Lego and they can see it continuing to make enough money then I'm sure it will continue.

Do so! You won't regret it! Green Grocer is so beautiful with its interior details.

i would like to see a private hospital as the next modular building

gylman, you're back! And for the topic, I would love to see new modular sets, especially 16x32 ones to make them more affordable

The more the better...
