This is really confusing. I don't know which one to buy. Can you give me some advice? There is no way to guess which is the next to retire. Both are good possibilities. As a huge and more pricey set, I think Assembly Square will not last very long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they are retiring both sets, PR is the more likely candidate due to being around longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ogist Posted August 27, 2019 Two most beautiful modular for me. And of course legendary GG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PR is the GOAT of the modulars. Not as big as AS but a great price point for an amazing good looking set. And a big seller as well. And Lego knows it, since DO is newer than it and already retired.

nikhkin Posted August 28, 2019 Just a heads up that the Post Office MOC is doing the rounds as "this years modular" again. One of these days people will Google the set number to double check before posting that it's a new leak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ostman Posted August 28, 2019 This year again, a Police Headquarter would be a good option for this year's modular building... Although I would also like 2 buildings of 16x32 that can be separated and combined... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d like to see a bit of green so would love for a 48x32 like assembly square, but only have one building, maybe 16 wide or so, and then a garden or playground on the remaining 32. Should keep the part count low enough for a standard price point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HereWeGoAgain Posted August 29, 2019 For those in Switzerland, I just picked up AS for 205CHF (had a 10CHF coupon so got it for 195) at Galaxus. I have a feeling it will be the next to retire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At some stage in probably the next 25 years there will be a Post Office, and that leak will have been right all along! There will be minor problem like a different set number and totally different design, but the idea was right after all. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego Conductor Posted August 29, 2019 Still have a wide selection of Civic Bldgs left to choose from; School, Library, Post Office, Hospital, Police Station, etc. Any one of those would make a great Modular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tafkatb Posted August 29, 2019 Library remains my personal top pick, but I must say designers are missing out on some prime pun potential if the 2020 modular does not feature an optician. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted August 30, 2019 I would love an optometrist although they did do one in last years hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They recently redid their website and you can set price alerts very easily now. Spent about 1h setting alerts on almost all sets. Quite useful to pick sets up for relatively cheap. Of course if you set your buy price too low you might never get a price alert for it, but in case of AS I believe I set it to below 210. You can also see the price history which helps setting a good buy in price. Edited August 30, 2019 by HereWeGoAgain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about a 48x32 with a separatable normal building on the first 16 studs, a small playground / park on the next 16, and then a smaller 1 or 2 storey building on the corner? Or a corner made up of two 16x32 buildings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mmmmmmh... Where did I put my tinfoil hat? The architecture in the Disney station is amazing. I love the colors and all the detail in the roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the same boat, I need both of them and don't have money for both. AS had already been in "backorders accepted" status not too long ago (in Lego online store) so I'm probably going for it first. I'm not an expert on how this store works, but for me, it's a sign that they don't have too much stock of it. Walmart sale that was mentioned above lasted literally several hours and was very difficult to catch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they're smaller buildings (e.g. an ice cream shop and ... whatever else Lego thinks is "funny / story-telling" to combine with an ice cream shop), two smaller buildings like the Pet Shop and Townhouse would be good. But, for anything significant (e.g. school, museum, library, police station, cottage hospital, etc), I'd like it to be a full-sized Modular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
