Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
PK82 replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I agree. The spot in front of Green Grocer is getting a bit crowded though. -
Yeah, that's a good idea. Thanks. But instead of a small alleyway a full street. 20 plots total, allows for 2 more corner buildings and unuseable plots reduced to 3.

Ugh, I got motion-sickness while watching the video. -
PK0282 hat 1 Foto mit dir geteilt! | Flickr This would be the other idea but I don't really know what to do with the 6 baseplate gap.

I do have BH and CG but there are only 4 corner plots (due to the table being in the room's corner) and I like the ones I chose for these spots better. BH is especially though to place in my opinion as it has 2.5 decent sides. I will get the Jazz Club eventually, but it'll probably go on a shelf as I don't see myself liking it enough to become part of the city layout. Gaps are not an issue as the goal is to have space for as many Modulars as possible.

I was hoping for some ideas for a city layout to show as much Modulars as possible. This is my current layout: The squares and park are MOCs. I could've used the space for more modulars but I didn't want to obscure the view of the buildings in the back row. So that's 11 buildings so far. My brother's moving out next year so I get more space. I think this would be the logical and most balanced expansion. Make one square larger and cap off the other side with buildings. Gains me space for 4 more buildings (15 total). Putting another street in front gains me two more plots (17 total) Or extend in the back which gains me four more plots (19 total). 4 buildings on each side plus one building behind Diner and one behind Bank. But that would leave a gap. Any suggestions welcome.

I wonder if you can mirrorbuild it so that the pizza place is on the right side. I wanted to do that with the Sanctum Sanctorum until I realized that one of the mirror parts required to replace the roof tiles isn't availabe in sand green. -

Swap out the "a" for an "i" to make it even more adult. -

Nah, I don't like how the Jazz Club "hides" the billboard of PS. But the box art does look better. -

My only beef with Brickbank is that I like both sides equally but can only display one side prominently. I love the classic look of the bank and the small laundromat with the brick built signage. There was something about Downtown Diner that really irked me. Once I figured out to use it as a corner building in my city layout I like it very much. Assembly Sqare should've been two full baseplates. It messes with my street plates. Took me over a year to buy Corner Garage but I can kind of appreciate the utilitarian look now. Not every building in a city has to be pretty as long as it looks consistent. Bookshop is one of my favourites. I really like the facades and the birch tree. Police Station is another one of my favourites (specially after I installed a bat signal on the roof) and works really well besides Bookshop. Not very fond of Boutique Hotel. Apart from the colours, the new layout makes it hard to place and there's only so much corner buildings I can use. But this jazz club just feels like a rehash of buildings I already own. And even though it has more parts than Bookshop it seems even less substantial without redeeming properties. -

This looks like a rather bad rehash of previous modulars. The twohouses-style of Book Shop and Police Station, the revolving doors from Grand Emporium, the colours of Fire Station, the billboard of Palace Cinema. Moreover, I dislike the unfinished look of the greenhouse and the colour combination is an eye sore. I started collecting modulars with Parisian Restaurant and naturally there are some I don't like but none before has evoked such strong dislike. I will eventually buy it for completeness sake but probably just before it's retired.
