Me too i believe the lego ambassador's post more. regarding your post, in the video, it says we will be 'announcing' our brand new lego creator expert modular building. if that youtube channel is not some sort of 'official' lego channel then..ok fine ~ Edited December 2, 2018 by jaesroe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As another source, there’s also this: 9 hours ago, cimddwc said: The Ambassador on Doctor-Brick.de has already confirmed that the Ambassadors have been informed (and are allowed to share) that the new Modular 1ß264 will be announced on Monday 15:00 CET. They have not been told any more details, though. 38 minutes ago, Terrasher said: "Seen the picture of it. It's going to be more popular than the Downtown Diner in my estimate!

Although it seems strange because I have never seen a gas station with something above it (other than a roof-like structure to shelter from the rain). I wouldn't really want to work/live above a gas station... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFOLguy1970 Posted December 2, 2018 Someone on Brickset is suggesting it will be $199.99. That seems like quite a bit of price creep going on. It seems significantly higher than the rate of inflation. If this is a gas station, auto shop, vet, and an apartment, it is going to be challenging to get them all into a corner build. I believe this will be the first living quarters on a corner plot? Looking forward to the reveal tomorrow, hopefully with some good photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) I’m interested in what the architectural style will be. A petrol station feels like an American style- building. DD was really American-specific (the architecture and the concept of a "Downtown Diner"), so I hope for a more universal style (I wished for a Parisian-like modular, but it probably won’t happen) Edited December 2, 2018 by ddavid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It that is right a vet would be great since it means more animals for me, but it do sound like a odd combination. On the other hand a gas station and car repair is not music in my ears, that means at least one car and I prefer that they use the bricks for something else in the set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's correct then ~$0.077 per piece puts it above the RRP per piece of Assembly Square and Ghostbusters Firehouse. PR and DD are at $0.065 and $0.069 respectively.

Wesley D Posted December 2, 2018 11 minutes ago, Roebuck said: It that is right a vet would be great since it means more animals for me, but it do sound like a odd combination. I wonder if there could be a storyline between a garage and a veterinarian. The most obvious one isn't pleasant... or it should be an animal transporter that has car troubles! What animals do you all expect? We've already seen cats and dogs in modular sets and the CMF veterinarian had a rabbit. They could be too repetitive for the designers who like to surprise. On the other hand a horse from a stranded trailer would have difficulties getting to the first floor. I don't expect an unrevealed new mould in a Creator set, but I would be glad to see the new bird mould in the set! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brickbuilder711 Posted December 2, 2018 Couple notes -If the relatively high PPP holds, it probably means some kind of rare part or color is included -I wouldn't mind a mechanic's garage. It really fits old time Americana. You go to a small town and you will surely encounter one. I think it'd go great in a town/train layout. A vet might fit, or be conducive to a modern aspect.

paupadros Posted December 2, 2018 So in the end, it will be the first rumour that emerged! I'm also a bit curious about the architectural style they might go for; the first floor being a diner kind of forces the rest of the look of the building, but a petrol station could basically be a one off-thing on the ground level for then to be whatever on top. Here hoping for something really well crafted, packed with great pieces and great shaping. A corner unit ultimately allows for a more free floor plan, so it would be great to have an alleyway of some sort (Mike -yep assuming this modular's his - said he liked buildings that didn't go until the end of the plot). Hoping for some Vibrant Coral, but that's wishful thinking. The time's coming, guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They want it to hook BOTH the City builders and the Friends Fans. Hence Mechanics Garage AND Vet Clinic. If the third floor includes a Dragon a Faerie and a Ninja we will know for sure.

chorus Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) The sister of my aunts dead husband just Instagrammed me a message I can't remember about the next modular. Apparently there has been a lot of rumors about a police or petrol station. This is not true because it is bad for business and the environment. The next modular will be named "No hope lane", and will include the following: Ground floor - Gun shop: Introducing brand new parts for shotgun, uzi, AK47, bazooka and kevlar vest. 1st floor - Brothel: Upgraded light element, now with red bulb. Apparently also some new minifig molds based on the Friends figures, but this was a bit unclear. 2nd floor - Secret meth lab: It is also this time a fun theme running through the set with the lab smuggling the crystals (new mold) through the building and in to the accompanied ice cream van vehicle outside. The set is neither a corner nor a straight, more of a 50/50 split between a building and a dark narrow passage next to it called "Needle Alley". The alley has enough space for the ice cream van, its customers and a funny hobo and his "house". There is also a second vehicle included, an undercover police car with a corrupt cop in it named Buzzing Bennie. Apparently the trunk of the vehicle has enough space to hold a minifig. The color scheme used is mostly grey, dark grey, black and new color "gutter brown". Additional new pieces are brand new 2x1 brick with bullet holes (mold), 4x1 brick with blood splatter (printed), windows with broken glass (mold) and barred up door (print). Sorry, that is all the information I have at the moment! Edited December 2, 2018 by chorus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
