Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

I forgot about that one. Good point. -

It’s the same for the Pool Hall in the Detectives Office. Lego won’t build an alcohol bar I don’t think. I remember someone on here commenting as such a fair while back. As for the design, it kinda has the same issue as some other modulars in that it really is only a representation of a Jazz Club. The same as the Boutique Hôtel, and Palace Cinema. Both are undersized buildings for their purpose. The glaring issue in the Jazz Club, is the gap to the pizza place next door. That’s a shocker. It would have been a simple, and cheap fix. -

I think you’re spot on there. It’s a really good blend of colours and the style of architecture is just enough to provide individuality, whilst still fitting in with others. I have the Hotel right next to it, and it does work. ATM there is nothing on the other side of the BH, as I’m scrapping my train station MOC, as its just doesn’t work. Also looking to find as much real estate on my table top, for more MOCs, and future modulars. -

I have to say, now it’s built and finding its home in my town, the dark red is definitely the colour to go for. The dark blue would just look unbalanced compared to the other buildings (I only have modulars from 2013 onwards). I did wonder about dark blue on the bottom, but it then hid the door and ticket booth window even more that it does with the current colour. -

Hmm, if its not to expensive, this one might be great for my town. -

I’ve decided to pull the trigger early. I wasn’t going to, and was going to wait for the related GWP, however I already have the Pizza van from the city collection a couple of years ago, so not too bothered about that one. I also have far too many vehicles for my town as it is. Snagged the Blacktron ship, plus the new year pack, so I’m good with that. Might shift the blacktron ship, as space isn’t really my bag. -
This is a really good model. I know Bern reasonably well, but in all my time in the City, I never saw the steam tram run. It’s much nicer than the new stuff, although it would be very cold in the winter.

I’d go for this. Whilst I want, and currently have a train in my town, I’m struggling to make room for it, so making it an El or subway with a flat fronted car sounds like a good idea.

So this leaks been around now for a couple of days. How much longer can TLG hold out before announcing it officially? The more I look at the images I can find, the more I’m warming to it overall. I’ve not seen the boxed image thats been mentioned, (I try to avoid instagram, which is probably why.) and the rather odd greenhouse on the top does seem a weak design for the sake of a few extra parts. And yes, the blue still seems a bit strong. -

I’m quite torn about this. On the one hand, it fits with the expected themes, and the triplet of jazz club, pizza place and tailor fits with the usual 3 theme idea that TLG have been using in the more recent modulars (hotel not withstanding) but the blurry interior pictures that have been circulated, suggest this may be a MOC, rather than a legit modular, as they’re quite simplistic in build techniques. That said, in an effort to keep costs down, perhaps the interiors are more simple, using fewer bricks than previously. -

I love it. So true, despite it being Bobs Country Bunker, in the first film. -

I see what folks are saying about the ‘greenhouse’ on the roof of the second building. I’m not certain it’s a pizza place. The sign says Tailor, with a pin, and the guy in front is holding scissors. This suggests a proper tailors shop. Maybe he’s upstairs above a little pizza takeaway place or something? At least it’s looking like 3 different ‘themes’ for the build, like the police station (police, donut shop & newspaper stand). Still not sold on that darker blue. Would be better in a lighter shade. -

Hmm, not immediately sold on this one. The facade looks very flat on the jazz club side, and the Blue is an odd choice, but given we’ve not had blue for a few years, slightly predictable. Not entirely sure the Magic Show act is not somehow just a gimmick to make a hidden door or something, to create a story around it. At least we get a squirrel. -

I wouldn’t mind the jazz club, but i could give the pizzeria a miss, as we already have a Parisian restaurant, downtown diner plus various coffee shops, bakeries donut shops etc. Less food based would be nice, but i think the ‘leaked’ themes are probably spot on. -

So, the allotted time is up, depending on if you believe the hype. Does this mean the jazz club/pizzeria combo rumour is also unlikely??? Half of me would like to be completely surprised by having no accurate leaks or rumours beforehand. I guess it’s just awaiting game now, but whatever it turns out to be, no doubt there will be those that love it, and those that will hate it.
