1974 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 That "guy" is Anio, a wellknown member here (and a LEGO ambassador to boot) .. I'm sure if had pics he would not share them TLG has kept a very tight lid on leaks this time (inbcluding their server, haha) and this is how they're gonna roll in the future as far as I know. (Indy) Dealers will not be showing their advanced cats to Random Joe anymore Looking forward to +400 pages of cheering and moaning 'bout this new Modular Cheers, Ole Quote
antp Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Yes, he says he is not allowed to share the pics. Monday is not a long wait anyway :) Quote
SwissBrick Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Looking forward to +400 pages of cheering and moaning 'bout this new Modular Had to laugh out loud... Me too Quote
1974 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I can start .. that playfeature where you can hide 100$ in the toilet SUUUUUUCCCCKKKSSSSSSS!!!! TLG is not AFOL'ing anymore, I'm gonna burn all my bricks and switch to Playmobil!!!!! Right, I'll get me coat .. Yes, he says he is not allowed to share the pics. Monday is not a long wait anyway :) No, it's not Is this the first modular with no leaked pics? Quote
JDW Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 This sounds really great! Wasn't expecting a laundromat with the bank--but that's a great addition! Quote
1974 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Actually, it's a bit odd. Banks are usually in the better part of town, laundromats in the other end. But lets see how it works out Quote
AncientDayz Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 This sounds promising. I was never excited about a bank, but I don't hate the idea either. I really like the idea of a laundromat. I hope it's really detailed and done well. I'm looking forward to some pics! Quote
NBV83 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I'm interested to see if the building depicts a certain era like the Detective's office does. Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Oh, now this is interesting a bank and a laundromat eh ? Sounds interestng, sounds like another buy for me......dam it, I wasn't going to head down the modular path again ! It will be interesting to see if they keep the period stuff going to match the Dectective's Office, but I wonder will cookies and candy be stored in the bank's vault ? Quote
badbob001 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Actually, it's a bit odd. Banks are usually in the better part of town, laundromats in the other end. But lets see how it works out It makes sense if thieves plan to launder the money they steal. Quote
1974 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Topnotch comment, there Sir! Edit : So it's not the 100$ bill in the toilet, it's in the washingmachine! Genius TLG! This is pure AFOL stuff .. I'll modify my former post to "+200 pages of cheering" (And maybe +50 pages of moaning because "why no sandgrey TLG?") Monday .. So many lightyears away, eh?

AFOLguy1970 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 It sounds like there will be a fair amount of detail on the exterior. It will be interesting to see how they combine the laundromat and bank into a single corner building, but so far it sounds like a good modular. The columns and statuary in the description make me think of a neoclassical structure, which is common for banks. Quote
Obi1by1 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I only have one modular (the Detective's Office), as I'm just emerging from my Dark Ages, but I like the sound of the new set! The bank itself sounds like it could be really impressive and imposing, and I love the idea of a Laundromat (it's on my list of modulars to build). I may end of modding the Laundromat attached to the bank to be something else, and then transferring the Laundromat to its own baseplate and expanding on it. Good news, this! My son will love it too - plenty of play opportunities for his superhero minifigures! Quote
antp Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Actually, it's a bit odd. Banks are usually in the better part of town, laundromats in the other end. But lets see how it works out Well there are bank agencies a little everywhere; that's rather the bank headquarters that are in better parts of towns. Though that living in a capital (Brussels) may give me a biased vision of that, there are probably much more of everything here than in smaller towns :D Edited October 10, 2015 by antp Quote
Blast Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Wish I had the space for modulars. I love how lego have designed them so any of them can be connected to another and after getting a few bam! You already have part of a city done Quote
Agent 86 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 The rumours are heating up! I'm looking forward to the reveal. The laundromat does sound like an odd inclusion with a bank, but I have faith that it will make sense when revealed. Quote
The Executive Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I like the rumors so far. I just hope the build is easier on those with large hands like myself. DO had too many cramped spaces where my hands could barely fit. Quote
Vorkosigan Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 A white and gray bank with a nice neoclassical look could be my first modular purchase. Definitely excited. Quote
Still Raindrop Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 When I heard it was a bank, I was unsure how well it would fit in my street, which so far has DO, PS, and a Chinese restaurant MOC--but hearing that it has a laundromat attached, it sounds like it will be right at home! Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I've been told the reveal won't be on Monday. It'll be tomorrow morning! Possibly! Quote
Bricktrain Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Monday morning is only 5 1/2hrs away here ;-) Quote
Emmi Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I've been told the reveal won't be on Monday. It'll be tomorrow morning! Possibly! So you mean today at NYCC? Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I've been told the reveal won't be on Monday. It'll be tomorrow morning! Possibly! I've seen it posted elsewhere that there's an embargo on photos until tomorrow, and there's a press release scheduled to go out at 6 AM EDT. Quote
Emmi Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I've seen it posted elsewhere that there's an embargo on photos until tomorrow, and there's a press release scheduled to go out at 6 AM EDT. ... so in 3 1/2 hours??? Quote
NBV83 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Could turn out to be another great Sunday. From the descriptions I personally don't have a clear picture of the set in my head, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the actual pictures. Btw, the money laundry idea is brilliant if it is really in the set. Edited October 11, 2015 by NBV83 Quote
