Sorting and storage are two different subjects Sortology: the method of separation (your system) Storology: the systems, methods and styles of storage (your solution) Maybe they constitute two separate topics??

It appears that creator expert = city range. Another shrinking modular. Now we have 4 corners, let's see how small this one is by placing it next to the CC,GE and PC. It looks great...just too small. Part coint trickery with tonnes of 1x1 pieces no doubt.

I believe a car models theme could probably be its own line... The F40 and Mini Cooper sized models aimed at scale modelling.

I dont think we'll ever see a police station. TLG always has a city police station for sale. It's one of their highest sellers. Having a modular one for sale with the normal city one will be bad for business.

My more complete version... and it is swappable like the PS. I used 2xDO's for parts. It's not finished, but it's enough to display in public at the moment: the album is here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskf39kk5

(one more time....) I consider CC-TH as Gen 1, and PC-now Gen 2 (I do consider MS a modular although it's a Factory labelled box). a significant shift is obvious between the 'generations'. Cost cutting became physically obvious, downsizing began and stories started being included. Newer Packaging was released, Creator Expert was incorporated into the labelling. Hardcore shrinking began with PR. The adult modelling element is dying off, and a shift towards 'playsets' has begun.

Im 100% completely with Off the wall on this... Unless they return to the standard seen with 'Gen 1' Modulars, (remove the childrens's storyboards seen in the city range, return to respectable sized buildings, and stop manipulating the part count) I will walk away from Modulars. The next one will be a make or break for me. The last two releases are my least liked releases thus far.... strike 3 and i walk.

The USA, because the rest of the world is subsidizing their lower prices and larger product stocks and ranges.

Hello All, I've been working on a town layout in my lair for a long time, and today i achieved a milestone in the construcion of the railway station. it is 3x Baseplates wide here is the design i was working on in LDD and as of tonight, after 5 Bricklink orders i have achieved building the main structure: plans are to develop a bus stop, some small stores such as newspaper stand etc, and add higher level detail... will pave the entire area, and I am looking into learning the artform of making my own decals/stickers. will keep you posted.

great modular. OMG, the real life pic is great too.... in the smallest crack they build a tiny house.. LOL

small, simple, sweet. I love it.

Hotel = pool hall Isnt it wonderful we have the ability, right and forum to input differences of thoughts and views? Im not asking for anyone to agree, Im sharing my experiences, as you did as well.

stunning F1 car. Im looking for a few fellow F1 fans here, to see if they would be interested in designing fig scale F1 cars... we could make a bit of rivalry out of it.

well i finally bought/built my DO last night.... the most scandalous modular to date: -total part count manipulation: many places where tonnes of smaller parts were used in lieu of a larger part. -incompleteness of the wall/roof of the hotel on the ground floor -cheapness of colour combination, parts of the build were poorly executed. - massive reduction in size. i placed it next to every other modular one at a time last night, it's freaking tiny compared to them... (except the PR of course) I have bought 2 copies of this set, and i will use some of the parts from the second set to 'complete' this set (IMO) properly. This modular is nothing more than a large Lego City/Creator house set. It's not all bad, I like how they executed some of the builds, such as the water tank, the roof, the ground floor hotel. I feel that the blue side was an attempt to pay hommage to Market Street with it's tones of blue. the blue part of the building is childish, the brown side is too small. I love the modulars, i have everyone of them to date, I always buy two if i can... but if the quality does not improve on the next release, I think my days of buying them are over. I was not a big fan of the PR, and I'd say this one sits equally at the bottom in order of like/dislike. Gen 2 Modulars..........

PaB will become an online only system.... PaM actually slows down consumption of the bricks, sets a controlled quantity per customer, and will still keep the aesthetics of the lego store. It appears as this is a shift of strategy for the company.
