Or how about this idea. The modular set is actually a single 3-in-1 where it has three designs: Common roof + Ground floor Upper floor design 1 Upper floor design 2 So if you want a tall building or all the designs, you need to buy at least three copies and mix/match the designs you like. And in following sets, you can either add on top of the previous ground floor or start a new one with the new set. Most importantly, it should not be an open-back design. -
Other themes like Mindstorms and Mario Brothers have "base" sets. It doesn't necessarily need to have the same base floor for 10 years as they can introduce a new base floor every 3-4 years that is still compatible with the old floors. I would imagine people may want multiple sky scrapers instead of a single super-tall one. Maybe even make it cross-theme like a Ninjago floor, Marvel floor, etc. One issue is that the designers may need to have some restraint on the exterior so it looks uniform as a whole since a rainbow looking tower may not be that appealing to adults. But now the designers can put all their focus on the interior. On rebrickable, I've seen this idea used to incorporate the sitcom sets into the modular line: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/?q=sitcomplex

With the first modular building, Cafe Corner, modular meant the building itself could be expanded. Maybe it's time for LEGO to re-visit the original meaning of "modular" in the brand's name. LEGO can introduce a sky scraper sub-theme where we initially get several sets that includes the ground floor and some additional floors. Then over time, introduce more floors to be added. So kind of like a sim-tower / apartment / department store management game.

When pressing the wing-flapper, the mechanism rubs against the 2x3 plate next to it on the the tail-ward side and causes the plate to loosen. Happen to anyone else? Not super impressed with the wing-flapping. It basically gives the wings a nudge against gravity and you have to build up a persistent rhythm to get meaningful flaps.

This would look great in the TRON universe.

The color scheme makes it looks like an alternative build of the Haunted House (the tall one). Also not a fan of the statues in front of the windows. Maybe push back the whole building to the rear edge of the baseplate and use the additional space in the front to place the statues (in white) in front of the columns?

@24nolf I can understand why the foosball set needs an explanation since it's very different from the design voted for. But what makes you think LEGO themselves thinks the Jazz Club is a failure and needs explaining? Just based on the existence of the interview and its PR-filtered content? Were there other interviews in the past that were different because of LEGO's own opinion on the set? Now if there is an embargo on reviews until AFTER the set is released, then I would be suspicious. And they better not slash the price down by 30% a few weeks later like some other set. That would be just awesome horrible.

Do you have this piece? This instagram user used the above piece to give Optimus back his nose but it also adds separation between the eyes. I like the use of translucent-blue 1x1 plates instead of round plates so Optimus doesn't have a bulging-eye look. Also, the forehead printed-vent piece looks too much like a necktie and so replacing it with a real vent slope looks better. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdtDn79I8TG/ More specific instructions and parts list: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cep6H0qoXDb/ This thread on FTW2005 has lot of cool mods to optimus like mouting the mouth-plate higher to hide the ugly horizontal gray part under the eyes and even modifications to give optimus bending knees. https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/rumor-lego-optimus-prime-coming-in-2022.1227722/page-75

I suspect the first mods will be attempts to improve the head. I wonder if inverting the mouthpiece so the pointy side is up would make it look better, especially if it hides the horizontal line just below the eyes. Or see how it looks with the head swapped with the large-scale Kreo optimus head. Probably too small. But what if they create a Brickheadz version... putting that chibi head on this would be hilarious.

Lego Shop lists a 6-Pack box for this series. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/the-muppets-6-pack-71035 It doesn't say if there are no duplicates. Why can't they just go all the way and offer a 12-Pack Complete set? Do they really want us to linger in the store and feel up all the packets?
