Can't wait for this new set!!!
I was first into my local Lego store for 10243: I expected lines for some reason so I got there an hour early and no one was there... I plan to buy the Detective's Office on Jan 1 this time as well
If I were to be picky though, I would say that the modulars have been a little thin lately... I'm happy about the extra detail inside and the texture and variety on the front and back, but I hope that in 2016 that they give us a deeper modular like some of the older sets, but with the interior detail, texture, and variety of the newer modulars.
I find the left face of the building is a little plain on the second floor with the brick texture, but It fits the era they were going for well, so there is not much they could have done there within that style...
As an off comment, It seems like TLG might keep using the same toilet base from Pet Shop using the pot and lifesaver in white... I was interested in the pull chain toilet as I am making a few mocs of antique style modulars, and I was interested in the build from first mention, but as in the Pet Shop toilet it seems pretty straightforward.
All in all, I am pretty excited for the release of the new modular, and while this won't be my favorite, I will certainly enjoy it as I enjoy all the Modulars.
