Theoretically this would free up a second spot for a newspaper press... 6 hours ago, Kallego said: A wild guess supported by some rumors: a second modular could be relaesed next year. Let's see. I would not mind a second modular at all!!! 5 hours ago, RichardGoring said: Certainly sounds promising. Potential clash with the Parisian Restaurant colour scheme, but the Fire Brigade and Jazz Club seen fine, so hopefully it's all good. I hope that the blossom tree isn't too anemic. I feel that the modular line could form several "streets" with certain groupings of the modulars together. For example, Corner Garage and Downtown Diner could go together. AS and Detective's go well together as well. Green Grocer, Pet Shop, Book Shop and Brick Bank form a street for me. I feel the Town hall and Fire Brigade somehow clash. Parisian Restaurant seems to be in a street all its own. LOL 4 hours ago, FrkW said: As a journalist, man I hope you are right about this. Was so pissed we missed out on it to begin with, Daily Bugal does not fit the modular town astetics at all. Never understood why they thought the Bugle would threaten a printing press modular.

Roebuck Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Personally I hope they stick to one modular a year, they give us so many other big sets now that I want, so rather spend money on them instead of several moudulars per year. I have also run out of shelf-space for them so it would probably be another set in the box for a long time.. Quote

The other reason I could think of why they might release this in December is that there is a big/ expensive item from another theme releasing in January? Just my random guess. If they were going to release two Modulars, why so close to each other? Quote
PK82 Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 The Jan 1 release never made any sense to me. I mean a modular is the perfect christmas gift for us, so why waste that potential? Quote

I guess Lego is hungry for money during Christmas season then, maybe that’s the reason why they want to put it on Dec 1 instead. Quote

Or genuinely just relaying info he’s been told? This same information has been posted in Italian, on a couple of facebook groups too, so it’s likely to be a singular origin, if it’s true, and is being repeated. Brick clicker may be that origin, however. As for Dec 1st, I hope not. Means it’ll be sold out when I’ve just prepared the Mrs for an extra expensive January. Quote

Lion King Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 So… BrickClicker mentioend there are two gray minifigures in the small garden areas on either side of staircases, didn’t he? If so, are those statutes counted as two of those 7 minifiugres? For example, skeleton was counted as minifigure in Lion Knights’ Castle. Quote

Also, the same may be true for the 2016 71040: Disney Castle. So, maybe the museum modular will be similar. Quote

I feel the Town hall and Fire Brigade somehow clash. Parisian Restaurant seems to be in a street all its own. LOL Agreed. In my mind, there's the more civic collection - town hall, police station, fire brigade, brick bank, grand emporium - and then the more business-focused elements that blend into a seedier downtown vibe - palace cinema, jazz club, detective's office, petshop, downtown diner. Parisian Restaurant is a bit more standalone, but I put it with the civic grouping. One day, when they're all built, I'll have the proper groupings with them all next to each other and opposite the correct ones for colour, shape, and height balance. One day... 20 minutes ago, Yperio_Bricks said: Lego Online says there are 15 minifigs in the Rivendell set, so the grey statue minifigs are not counted. Brickset says there are 21 minifigs, so there they are counted. To me it should be counted as a minifigure if it's a playable character, and not just a decoration. The statues in Rivendell are clearly decoration, so I'm with LEGO on this, not Brickset. Not that it matters much. 13 hours ago, hikouki said: If they were going to release two Modulars, why so close to each other? I hope it's not two per year. There are already enough other cool things.

No, they are STILL considered as minifigures, playable or not…. Why “Everone is Amazin” has 11 minifigures and they are considered as “decoration” rather than “playability” then? Statues, mannequins and monochrome minifigures are competely plain yet they are considered as minifigures. But for this museum’s case, I think it makes a lot sense that two statues are not among seven minifigures. So I will go with Rivendell’s example on Lego website. 23 minutes ago, RichardGoring said: I hope it's not two per year. There are already enough other cool things.

Yeah, well I will be ok with two modular ses per a year as long as not both big onesies. I mean one big one and one small (16x32), ideally. But I will ignore Rebrickable, Marvel and Ninjago modulars myself . Quote

I just can’t see any reason to suddenly now change the release date. If they wanted Christmas sales out of it...why now? It’s not like they’re hard up for sales. It just doesn’t make any sense. I love olive green but on a museum? Odd choice but I’m open to it. The white pillars will definitely be striking against it. Maybe it works well with the little garden areas on either side of the steps. Edited October 24, 2023 by Vindicare Quote

That looks interesting! Finally another wide modular! I hope they nail the architecture. Surprised how many of you dislike Olive Green given how Parisian Restaurant is probably the most loved model in the entire series. For a Natural History Museum I would have expected a building like the one in Kensington, but excited to see how it will turn out. Quote

I understand that an olive green color is more earthly and Natural History Museum has some history about nature. I like that idea but it’s hard for me to -cite what the net Modular would look like wiht that color scheme. I have faith in the Man Upstairs and the designer team since the Modular’s they came up with always amaze me. 2 hours ago, Westbrick said: The rumour is that this is going to be revealed tomorrow, right?
