I hope not. Last year's was a nightmare. 

Another downside to living on the West Coast...I woke up early to watch that weirdness....

Agreed. Last year Lego tacked the modular reveal onto a hours long promo of other sets they wanted you to purchase. If they don't have any inventory to sell this year it is less likely Lego will have a similar stream. A celebration of 15 years of modulars in December might make the most sense. 

Now that would be cool. A look back & a short blurb from the designers would be a fun watch.

I'll bet you $100 that the set will be revealed sometime within the next 35-36 days.

Kohl's no longer has any of the big exclusive sets. Sold out, no longer listed.

Sadly I kept meaning to grab the Corner Garage. It's my least favorite set in the modern series and the reason for the $200 price point we now get every year. But it looks like it's sold out. I was only going to grab it now so if I didn't want it in a year I could sell it for twice as much. haha

I know. I regret not getting it during the last double points in October, that's when it sold out. Amazon had it on Friday for normal price and it sold out there today.

The Kohl's set was Assembly Square and the Black Smith because they had good deals on those.

The next modular reveal is scheduled for the "second to last week of December".

Edit: I was told the release is still scheduled for Jan 1st.

Second to last week of December ? Not too much time for the budget… The pandemic will have taught us all a word: patiennnnnnnce…I wonder which will come first: the reveal of the 2022 Lego Modular or the arrival of my car, delayed in production because of the chip shortage !

In that case, if it’s true, ah well, we will have to wait a bit more. 

Just curious -Told by who? Your source or lego employee?

Lego employee.

I was also told many of 2021's product announcements had been planned for two weeks prior to release but were announced sooner because of leaks(implying the same could happen here).

Second to last week of December???

That would be the lastest reveal ever for a Modular, right?

Some of the earlier modulars were not released in Jan. Fire Brigade in September, Palace Cinema was March, Pet shop was May. I don't recall when the announcements were.

More and more companies are making announcements roughly two weeks prior to product launches and Lego just seems to be following that trend. The impression I received was the modular announcement was a result of this shift.

Thanks for the info - it's going to be a long two weeks! I wonder if they are going with the historical approach again (given the lukewarm reception to Downtown Diner and Corner Garage).

I can't help but notice the highlighted days on the December Lego calendar. May mean something...or nothing at all.
