They want people to design a vintage car to go alongside the modular buildings and the winning design will be turned in to a future gift with purchase set. https://ideas.lego.com/challenges/bafd4186-bb49-4eb0-903f-910415f04391?query=&sort=top Well, let's hope that means that they won't annoy us with a parts-wasting vehicle in the next one, then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icm Posted October 10, 2019 That contest sounds like it has a lot of potential to produce a really nice car. Then again, the last Ideas GWP contest had ... unexpected results. Maybe we'll end up with a horse and buggy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agent 86 Posted October 10, 2019 Interesting Modular-related competition - thanks for sharing Bricked1980! I wonder whether we could get an ambulance, mail truck / postal delivery van, paddy wagon / police car or similar to ... "encourage" Lego to release a Modular Hospital, Post Office or Police Station? It would be nice to have some ... representation of those essential city services even if it's just a vehicle without an accompanying Modular building.

SFmuscle73 Posted October 11, 2019 I think they need to announce the next modular focus immediately, such that the corresponding vehicle in question would be a logical match. Sure that means announcing the building type early, but I don’t think any of the modular fans would argue otherwise! Anyone else support me on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonwil Posted October 13, 2019 If I wasn't so busy with other things (like getting ready for the next LEGO show) I would make something that looks like an old school Ute (also known as a pickup truck in countries other than Australia). Not a big pickup truck but one of the more car-like pickups. Done in the right style and color (maybe something like azure or dark green or some other color we don't see as much of) I think it would be very cool as a set.

BrickFit26 Posted October 14, 2019 Maybe in about a month we should know what the 2020 modular is. This vintage car desgin contest is cool. I'm guessing it'll be released to go witht he purchase of the 2020 modular. Anyone else remember that the designer of the DD wanted it to origonally be a car sales garage?

CSW652 Posted October 14, 2019 Maybe that's it....The 2020 modular is going to be a 1950's car dealer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted October 14, 2019 They said in reports about the diner that they couldn't make a car dealer work in the modulars so I doubt they are doing that for 2020. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roebuck Posted October 14, 2019 I have little interest in cars and it has definitely been enough car focus in the last 2 modulars, so hopefully nothing car related in the next A GWP is a great way to do it, put the car there and more animal moulds in the modular instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There isn’t space on my shelf for another car...! And however many pieces they use for the car, they just seem to remove from the detail of set. Like the missing floor in the corner garage, missing table in and depth of the diner and third floor of the cinema! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RuffDraft Posted October 14, 2019 If Jamie gets his way, it’ll be a hotel? I think he dropped a massive hint in that interview a couple years back, and we’ve had all other rumoured sets really. The garage was rumoured when the Diner was, and instead it followed the year after. a vintage car would sit nicely outside a hotel too, but I agree that’s most likely for next year‘s set (2021).

Is a hotel a possibility with CC? Yeah, but he sort of dismissed it when he was asked. He seems to think it doesn’t classify as a hotel, though I completely agree with you. I think it’d be completely different. Does seem like too much of a crossover, but if Jamie thinks it... I do agree too... so many mini figures and nowhere for them to live. I’d still love a police station. I would never buy one of the City set versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like the missing floor in the corner garage, missing table in and depth of the diner and third floor of the cinema! PR is almost as deep as DD and doesn't have a car. From personal experience, I can tell you that it's very easy to go over the 2200-2500 piece range, even as much as 4000 pieces in a single 32x32 just in adding small detailing. 23 hours ago, LegoModularFan said: Hey guys, haven’t been online for a few weeks, do we have any information about the new modular?

But if like this year with the Mustang, it's in March, that's also unlikely. Maybe for 2021 modular? Honestly, it sounds like that flower cart polybag they did for DO in 2015. A complement that works well in any modular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just meant that Lego seems to be limiting the 32x32 modulars to around 2500 pieces, probably due to the price point. So if there’s a car with 200 pieces, that leaves 200 less pieces for interior detail or additional structure on the main building! To me it feels like that happened on both the Diner and Cinema. I’ll take detail and size over a car any day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McBuddha Posted October 17, 2019 I´m suddenly guessing (or wishig for) a museum since the newly released Ideas set 21320 Dinosaur Fossils would make an excellent addition! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
