May 1, 20231 yr Maybe an old Blockbuster style film rental agency? I'd also like them to play around with the time period a little more - no more recent than the 1960s, but some older Victorian ones would still look good next to what they have now but would be interesting to see.

May 2, 20231 yr Modular Wishlist: School Hospital Hardware Store Library Arcade Toy Store Park & Playground
May 10, 20231 yr I haven’t thought of something in the first place. Since we have Police Station, what if we would get Courthouse?! A judge, lawyers, jury, a criminal, a gay couple receiving a marriage/civil union certification, clerk minifigures we need!

There is already a wedding venue in the Town Hall. It could easily house the Judge from CMF series 9 and there are plenty of minifigures available to use as clerks, lawyers, criminals, bride and groom, etc. With only one modular building released per year I would rather see some commercial or industrial buildings with different uses like the main ones people always ask for such as a traditional post office, hospital/clinic, museum, school (or trade school), a factory (especially one making different Lego sets), an old warehouse turned into an arcade, or a unique style of restaurant like Chinese or Mexican.

Sure, there is a handle of “existing” ii figures. I would like to see a female judge in black gown (again, I’m sure there are existing minifigure part out there…) However, I don’t agree with you on Town Hall’s wedding venue - I actually missed out on that set so I would love for Lego to produce OR re-make a Goverment site like Town Hall. Nothing wrong with two wedding venues in one city. For example, Winter Village’s Winter Cootage was released several years ago and it’s now expnsive in the secondary market. LEGO released another different cottage in different style (Santa’s Visiit set) in the same theme in 2021. Anywaays, there is something Courthouse has that Town hall doens’t have - courtroom, clerk’s office, judge’s office, etc… the courthouse my be in the same era as Police Station’s or older or at least the style might be similiar to Ace Attroney series (just example).
May 19, 20231 yr Well, I would love to see TLG to re-make Fire Brigade set that was released in 2009. It would be nice tht the desginers would re-create the 1930s firehouse wiht new techniques, new details, new layout, new parts (the new ones hat were not existed back in 20009). I never own the old FB set and it’s already expnsive in the secondary market so I couldn’t afford it.

I work in healthcare and I could never understand why Lego keeps making hospitals that have see-thru glass walls! I think a post office is long overdue. I remember from my childhood that post office was somewhat of a regular Lego theme.
May 21, 20231 yr I'd love to see a Brooklyn style loft/apartment building. Once a industrial building it now houses a coffee shop or bar at street level Maybe it could be a corner building and i guess Lego would like to put some kind of shop at street level anyway. A large room features a dance company/pottery class/ yoga class in the first floor and in the second floor there would be the apartment of an painter/artist. With access to the roof the residents could enjoy the sun or do some rooftop gardening. Maybe it's to much cliche for one building but this would be the modular of my dreams.

I think a post office is long overdue. I remember from my childhood that post office was somewhat of a regular Lego theme. I’m not sure about see-through wll in regular hospital sets but I never owned thee. Hopsital is pretty long overdue - we do have Fire Brigade (I’m hoping for a remake since I mixed out on it) and Police Station. Ambulance Station would be a great follow-up for Hospital. We need EMS! There is a bunch of mail boxes throughout Modular Building serie so we need Post Office! I think you talked about Mail Plane subtheme in City some years ago but there wa indeed a non-modular post office in the past.
June 6, 20231 yr Out of boredom, so I decide to post this…. I sure wish Lego would remake the retired (and older) modular Buildings, such as Corner Cafe, Fire Brigade, etc. I mean they are already expnsive in the secondary market right now and i just start collecting Modular sets (Bookshop, Police Station, boutique Hotel and Jazz Club). I would love to grab a remake of Fire Brigade so I can add a fire department to my city. :) So that’s my wishlist for remakes

A lot of people say the never will but I still hope they do. I began collecting with Detective's Office and I have them all now except Corner Cafe, Market Street, and Green Grocer. I will never spend the amount of money the secondary market demands for those. I already spent more than I would have preferred to acquire Town Hall and Fire Brigade. With how ridiculous the prices are for the earliest modulars I would seriously consider buying knockoff brand models if I ever came across them. It's stupid for Lego not to bring some of those older sets back because I would gladly spend my money with Lego and I am certain a lot of other fans who were late to the collection would too, but I won't spend that much on the secondary market.

I was looking for Fire Brigade and my eyebrows went up when i saw the absurd, various prices in the secondary market. I woul be extremely happy if Lego do bring some of these older modular sets back to the shelves and the new fans like us would spend money. Just no thanks to secondary market… I’m okay with designers re-designing the older modular sets. I think I read the Brick Fanatics article and Mike said Corner Cafe’s door was no longer made so they would have to re-design that one. Plus older modular sets could have some new techniques or parts.

I think I read the Brick Fanatics article and Mike said Corner Cafe’s door was no longer made so they would have to re-design that one. Plus older modular sets could have some new techniques or parts. But if they have to redesign the Cafe Corner to accommodate the new door standard, and then maybe do a few other redesigns to incorporate newer parts or newer building techniques, then why not just create something brand new? Because the redesigned version isn't the same. If they just did a rerelease (which they won't), then all those people who have it already won't buy it (and may well be annoyed at having a 'valuable asset' devalued significantly, which is bad PR for LEGO). And quite a few of the more casual fans likely won't buy it, as they simply don't look as good as the modern designs. So it's really for a much smaller market than a new modular, where everyone will buy it. And if they did go down either route of straight rerelease or redesign, then they'd face backlash from the fans of either side, so again poor PR. And even more backlash from those who say they've used up a slot for something new. Oh, and where do they stop going back? What counts as old, and what should you already have? There's probably one person who wants a rerelease of the Corner Garage, or by next year, the soon to be retired ones. I just don't see them winning on this. However, there are some good sets on Rebrickable, where people have reengineered the older modulars using less expensive parts. That seems like a decent compromise to me.
June 7, 20231 yr I’m wondering if Lego desginers would do something new with street layout. You know we have a few corner buildings and most of sets have straight sidewalks. I don’t know what it is called honestly but what if a set that has a smaller sidewalk. That would make a buidling a bit more larger, forming it into a “L” shape. Like this: Bookshop - Jazz Club - ???? I Boutique Hotel - Police Station - Corner Garage We know that Boutique Hotel and Corner Garage are “normal” corner buildings and we know Bookhop, Jazz Club and Police Station have straight sidewalks. But “???” Would be interesting to see if it’s a. “L”-shaped building with les sidewalk space. Like…apartment, for example. I am not sure if my writing skill is that great but i hope it makes sense! P.S. if you point me out that there is a L-shaped building in the series, please tell me which set it is. I ask becuase I’m visually impaired so i may not see real well.

Agreed - I would love to see a L-shaped building in future for our town layouts! I’ll check Rebricks. Out, thanks! :)
June 16, 20231 yr Another thing that Lego could add to it's designs to differentiate from prior buildings and bring more variability to the current street layout, as well as being architecturally correct, is overhanging upper stories. There are lots of buildings in cities where the upper stories overhang the sidewalk almost all the way to the curb.

I think a farmer’s market is a great idea! Maybe we don’t need an indoor shopping spot. Edited June 20, 20231 yr by Lion King

I don’t think I have that overhanging buildings that often but…that does sound interesting to me! EDIT: I was building Boutique Hotel today and I see. What you are talking about. Balcony does hang over the sidewalk I agree with you. Edited June 25, 20231 yr by Lion King
June 28, 20231 yr I want a modular shopping mall. Edited June 28, 20231 yr by Quandale Dingle I changed my post.
July 9, 20231 yr I finsihed building Boutique Hotel last night, somehting crossed my mind. There was no elevator in the hotel, poor for bellboy’s heavy duty! So - I know there won’t be a working elevator in Modular Buildings because of deattachable levels (1st, 2nd, and roof). BUT I think they could do that OUT-OF-ORDER elevator! Ideally, an apartment building with malfunctioning elevator, tent ants have to take stairs. The elevator can be seen at the ground floor inside the shelf while the above levels are just hollow. just like “Big Bang Theor” tv show apartment.
