Expand We get a corner modular every 3 years, so I'm assuming we'll get one in 2022. Quote

ReplicaOfLife Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Looks interesting. Police Station has been requested heavily for ages, and, if done well, could be the next 'Fre Brigade', so a set that the adults enjoy building, but that kids will also enjoy to play with. I'm curious what's under the blanket, and if it's really that big. From the looks of it, it could be the second highest after Town Hall, but it seems to be a bit bulkier toward its top that that one. It's clearly NOT a corner - the bit you can see jutting out to the right is just the back half of the baseplate. The thing protruding to the left could be a car, which would fit perfectly, since a Police Station without one would be weird.

Because it's on Ideas, LEGO would immediately own the rights to it. Expand Yep, that's the thing most people easily forget - with putting anything on Lego Ideas, Lego has all the rights to it, no matter if it makes the 10.000 and no matter if they make it a set or not. As designer, you cannot reuse that design commercially afterwards. Quote

The rumors that get spread around here are amazing. Expand I didn't think so either mainly because I remember last year when we were all speculating what the 2020 modular would be, a police station modular always came up and on those posts last year someone posted a comment from a designer answering why they've never made kne. His reply was that the AFOL community has done some terrific police station modulars that if that they didn't think they could do better or make it seem like the copies a design. Something around those lines, I don't know how to look that far back for posts. Anyways, @theremin has a lot of explaining to do! Quote

But then Ninjago City had the same Technic connections, but isn’t a “Modular”. Jamie has said before which sets are “Offical Modulars”. Expand Ok, you know way more than me about these details. Still then, to go back to my original comment, I guess that if you remove the connections any submitted entry from Lego Ideas can be made into a non-modular set and sold. I think the question was more asking if LEGO should exclude automatically entries based on city-centre non-licensed buildings that cover a baseplate or more. These are basically the topic of the Modular Buildings LEGO line. Quote

Maybe we can exclude those two by just saying white lampposts are a necessary condition as well? Quote

tafkatb Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Well, I'm not sure if "AD" is a typo for "AS" or "DD," but Assembly Square was revealed in mid-October and Downtown Diner late November (post-Thanksgiving weekend). The past couple years we've gotten used to very last-minute reveals, but it feels like not that long ago that there would be people panicking like "omg it's already the second week of November and no news about the new modular, what if there isn't going to be one?!"
