    I think this is a very cool idea. But I think many people would be disappointed because the pricing might not be what they expect... There are efficiencies, like packaging and shipping, in selling a larger set with 3,000 pieces in one box rather than 2 that have 1,500 pieces. Also, buildings half the size would typically require more pieces than just half a usual Modular since you can't typically have an open side. More pieces would be needed to close it up. The only way I could see it working is if TLG either sells a design that is smaller than half a normal Modular at half the price, or sells something that is about the same as half (or larger) for more than half the price of an existing Modular. Honestly, I would be interested (not necessarily committed) to either, but I don't know how well received the larger community would be.

    I completely understand this. I often am building a set and will point out a piece to my daughter, who 50% of the time will respond that she's already seen it in one of her Friends sets.

    Who knows if it's really a hint of what's to come, but this is what I think is the reference from Instruction booklet 2, page 78: "More rocket power has been added to the Renegade via these fusion-activated energy pods. The range of the Renegade may now be able to reach Futuron bases in this quadrant we previously thought secure."

    Higher resolution + additional images are available on the LegoLeak subreddit now.

    Images of Asoka's Interceptor and Home One are up on the LegoStarWarsLeaks subreddit. The Interceptor looks good. And now the 4+ Mando and Grogu image is up.

    So, someone on reddit said it looks like the sign on the right may read "Haberdashery", rather than "Hairdresser". Honestly, I can't tell. But that makes a bit more sense to me, considering we've already seen a barbershop (Al's) in the 10246 Detective's Office set.

    The label above the door on the left says "the Old Guarded Inn" and a server is carrying a tray with what looks like eggs, toast, and bacon. The Specials menu on the wall has a picture of a steaming LEGO fish on it. The sign above the door on the right looks to say "Hairdresser"

    Wow! This will likely become my favorite modular. It looks perfect. I'm looking forward to getting it and hopefully learning some new techniques.

    I am not a huge Marvel/DC fan, but am always interested in modular-compatible builds. In fact, I do own the 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum set, which looks good enough next to other Advanced/Creator/Icons Modular Buildings. But this, simply put, looks pitiful. And the price makes it even worse, regardless of piece count. It makes it very clear how poorly scaled this set is. I would be truly disappointed if I were an X-Men fan hoping to place it anywhere near a Modular Building.

    Yeah, that makes a lot of sense and I'm absolutely intrigued what that will look like... especially if it's a corner building. My concern is if it plays too much with angles and such - reducing the overall building(s) footprint(s). Other than the use of Light Nougat, the other major problem I have with the Boutique Hotel is that it just doesn't feel grand enough to me.

    It's up on LEGO.com for the US: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/jabba-s-sail-barge-75397

    The official pictures for the TIE Interceptor on lego.com look good. I especially like the cockpit interior.

    And/or also from the 75393: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter set?

    The legoleak subreddit has some great pics.

    Yeah, I think they're referring to what looks to be a reddish brown door that can accommodate the following part: https://brickset.com/parts/design-38320

    Looks good. This may be a day 1 buy for me.

    Agreed somewhat. I consider Assembly Square one of the best, if not the best, modular building. It would be difficult for any set to replace it. Having said that, I see the Natural History Museum as a completely different type of modular than Assembly Square, and not as a replacement. The only things they really have in common are their 48x32 footprint and that they are modulars. The museum has one standalone, singular theme, whereas Assembly Square is a combination/tribute to many other modulars that came before it. In short, I'm happy with both and am very much looking forward to building the museum. My biggest challenge in the near future, as usual, is figuring out where I am going to display all of these sets...

    Has anyone guessed Kino Loy?

    It looks like that set was released in June 2016, no where near a modular release.

    I thought I got the 40448: Vintage Car with a modular as well as the 40140: Flower Cart. But I could be mistaken.

    This interview with the designer is great as there is a lot of great insight into so many different areas of the set.

    After seeing the back of the box, I have two key takeaways: 1. It’s a lot shorter than I had hoped/expected. 2. the interior decorations look sparse. Otherwise, I think it looks good. But I had higher hopes than what it turned out to be.
  23. lomis
    Well, this is surprising… I know it matches the description previously leaked. But it does not look like I thought it would. I like it but am not sure if I love it. I’m looking forward to seeing more pictures/angles and in higher definition.

    10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell has several gray/grey statues that I believe aren't counted as minifigures. Also, the same may be true for the 2016 71040: Disney Castle. So, maybe the museum modular will be similar.

    I'm in the US and saw many of the parts available on the evening of 2023-10-16. And the ordering was also a mess when I tried to add evertyhing to my order. I had to click to add items multiple times until they were added. The soldier torso was available at the time along with almost everything else. The only thing I didn't see that I wasn't really interested in anyway was the Governor's/Admiral's hat.
