The only obviously heterosexual minifigures in the modulars (that I can think of) are the courting couple in Parisian Restaurant and the bridal party in Town Hall. None of the other minifigures have an explicit orientation.

Along those lines, I wouldn't mind a baby carriage that is pushed by a man. There had been two baby carriages so far but they were shown pushed by women.

My two cents, with the following context: I am a very open-minded person, from Portugal, which is fairly open and relaxed in what is known worldwide as "the woke things". Same-sex mariage and abortion are allowed by law and we are currently discussing how same-sex adoption should be allowed. Not if, but how. I strongly believe that sexuality should not be the thing that defines you as a person. It plays a part, but it is not THE thing.
 

That being said:

1) I understand that LEGO stays away from those lines as we stay away from fire. After all, they are a highly visible company which makes "children" toys for profit.

2) Do we really need this to be an issue in every single item that is placed on the market?

The marvel of LEGO is that we can always add those features to our builds, however we want them. I sure did...

60134 People Pack - Fun in the Park has a man pushing a baby carriage. And I think that was one of the first.

Two dads or two moms pushing a baby’s stroller, anyone?

On my first picture, on the left. Two moms, as a homage to a couple of dear friends.

Nothing confirmed for the next modular buidling yet. 

But it looks like the next Winter Village set will be post office. If it’s true, will that mean we won’t get a modular post office this year? Like when there was Daily Bugle set 3 years ago and desginers scraped newspaper press Modular becuase of it.

EDIT: it looks like it’s confirmed that Winter Village set will be Santa’s Post Office, accroding to fateful_lego. My quesiton above remains unanswered.

Well, if a Winter Village Post Office, wouldn't that rather need a far away post office where it gets mail from?

I’d like the answer to this as well. They already had a winter village post office, it was one of the first sets. I feel after all the modulars have mailboxes they should make a post office now. I hope they make it eventually. Seeing how this one should be a corner it would be perfect as a post office. Hopefully we get some kind of leak soon.

It is possible that this will be a corner building if the tradition of having a corner building every three years continues.

I would say that there are three eras of modular buildings:

1. Advanced Models Era (2007-2012)

2. Creator Expert Era (2013-2020)

3. Icons Era (2021-present)

Those gargoyle elements in the new Wednesday sets would be good for gothic architecture, but would gothic architecture fit in the modular line?

Edited September 17, 2024Sep 17 by BrickFit26

Why not ? In real life, a city is often made of buildings of different eras: some hyper modern city skyscrapers, some Victorian mansions, some very old gothic churches, many not too specific, even some eyesores 😆 ! The different timelines are what make a city rich in history and dynamic. Sometimes it is voluntary to renew an area because it’s not adapted to the needs of the next generation, sometimes it’s because of a natural disaster (flooding, hurricane, fire, etc). The challenge is to try to better incorporate those different features (styles, heights, colors,etc). So let’s use our imagination !

Same here, I’m little worried that we wont get a modular ost office this year. I think it’s perfect for a corner building.

I don’t see problems for gothic archeicture  fitting into modular street. Gargoyles would be perfect for gothic building or haunted/abandoned manor. 

I built the Hogwarts alt-build University modular by Bolt Builds on Rebrickable and love it. It's a gothic architecture style and it totally works, especially against more civic buildings like the brick bank, fire brigade, and also the Parisian Restaurant. LEGO MOC The University - Alternative to 71043 by BoltBuilds | Rebrickable - Build with LEGO

Maybe together with the D&D CMF mini dragon recolored in grey?

You're right. Anything is possible.

Could definitely work. Those 2 elements are perfect.

Where did you find info?

If it’s true, i’m little surprised that the piece counts is higher tha Jazz Club or Boutiue hotel 

This should be the most pieces ever in a 32x32 modular. Really curious to see how it turns out. Maybe the extra pieces are used to make a post office truck if that rumor is true. Can't imagine one without it.

Or a mail truck GWP

Definitely could happen but would ultimately be a bad choice considering it would be integral to the set similar to the Corner Garage and Fire Brigade vehicles.

And Downtown Diner.

Corner Garage is the last set with vehicle before Icons brand arrived. So I don’t think they could include a mail truck in new set. I hope I’m wrong!

Yup, I just omitted that one because while it's cool to have there, the set would work just as well without it or if it were the GWP. I sure can just walk to the diner but the mailman ain't delivering those packages on foot

That’s fair! I still can’t beleive that Police Station didn’t come with a police car - officers had to chase after a thief on foot.

lus, printed parts will be great. Moving Truck and Retro Hot Dog Truck are great but i don’t like stickers so Iwish they are not GWP.

A vintage police car similar to the one in the Kwik-E-Mart would have been insane. I really want Lego to make one, those city ones are somewhat goofy looking if I'm being honest.
