    Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    Hippocampe replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town

    Still waiting for a GWP to suit my taste; when I’ll buy the JC, I think I’ll stick to the original color scheme to go along with FB, PS, DO, etc

    Has anyone from Canada found them in store yet ? My best brick and mortar store is a Toys R Us near my home (where I’m at ease to feel the bags before buying them at 6 $ a piece !)but it has not received them yet, though they have plenty of Serie 23, more than when I bought some a few months ago…

    First, I will remove most of the stickers and put aside all the Marvel minifigures (I love Dr Strange movies, but he won’t fit in my city); I’ll fix some rooms to make a suitable inside living space: the Keep Out ! room will be opened to enlarge the space around and under the giant stairs: that will make one single large room, maybe a small restroom; the library doesn’t have much flooring space - I’ll put up some more planks, maybe put a dining a table; the top floor will be the bedrooms. I don’t think I will do much redo outside though: I saw some pictures where the Sanctum was placed beside some Modulars that are less tall (BH for example, or maybe DO for the NY vibe); it will leave a small deserted alley: a bike rentals could be placed there.

    I’ll also wait for future GWP, either the tiny Mexican house or the pizza van; maybe for the tiny house since I already have many vehicles in my city. First time I won’t buy a Modular on the first day. I think the tiny house could become the beginning of a new valuable collection. Well, I’ll resume the construction /modification of Sanctum Sanctorium to include it in my city layout. Happy New Year every one !

    It was 70620 - it’s in the upper level, where there is a pink cherry tree growing all over the window

    I love that collection so much ! It never happened that I bought all the items of a Serie, sometimes not one at all, but this time, it will be the the highest proportion that I intend to get, 75 %

    There was some abandoned part/apartment in the first Ninjago set, with vegetation growing all over from the inside

    It would be a good idea with black and white accents. I wanted to build a MOC appartment building in these colors with modified bricks (with groove, profiled brick, palisade brick) but not much to be seen at PAB. I will eventually buy the JC to complete the collection; I’ll wait for the GWP pizza van. It won’t be of my favorite ones, but it should fit well near Town hall, detective office or Fire brigade. Could someone post all the abbreviations for the previous sets, I kinda lost track…

    I really think we should get a school AND also a hospital as a single use modular. Even if those two types of buildings have been created under the City collection, the target audience for City and Modular isn’t necessarily the same. How many Police stations were sold under the City banner - it didn’t hinder PS to reach the market as a Modular set; IMO, the argument “ it has already been released as a City set” doesn’t stand anymore. We could use a school for all the children we get in some sets. A kindergarden ? With all the restaurants we now have, a culinary institute could be useful. A post office, a media building (radio, newspaper, television) are mandatory for a respectable city ! The JC has also expanded the possibilities for Modulars for more “mature” themes; a jewelry, a shop for sporting goods,…

    Even if an artist put all his blood, sweat, tears and heart in a project, a song, a movie or a Modular, it doesn’t always end up with acclaim maybe because the product is too personal or d’avant-garde to be appreciated by a large audience. I don’t think people in this forum minimize the work and the ethics of the designer. We simply compare with previous Modulars that may have been more in sync with our taste.

    I feel the same way… I prefer the architecture of the Sanctum Sanctorum. The colors of the Jazz club and pizzeria don’t bother me that much; it’s rather the finition details that in my opinion are lacking or look simplistic. Like someone has written, it reminds me of the fire station that I was reluctant to buy at first. Even the detective office with its very urban look had a little balcony, water reservoir, etc. I don’t find much innovation / relief on the outside. It looks as if some architectural details have been recycled from previous sets, very few innovations… For the first time in many years, I think I will wait for this one, at least when there will be a GWP. I hope the interior will raise some interest from a construction standpoint. I wish in the future we will have a full façade modular and not 2 mini cramped buildings (hospital ? School ?) maybe for the 20th anniversary !
