Val-E Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 So, if it´s a square does that make a corner or a street building more likely to retire? Quote

Pedilego Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 There are 11 modular buildings. 12 would make a full "city square" with 4 baseplates of market real estate in the middle. $400? The Lego pieces of this mystery/puzzle fit together pretty nicely. 4 Quote
kahuka Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 If this "completes" a collection of modulars, it could really boost the completionist urge for people to collect the old sets. Quote

The Lego pieces of this mystery/puzzle fit together pretty nicely. Expand That makes a pretty big assumption about city layouts though.... I hope that's not what this is. Not only will that break many people's displays (displaying in lines on a shelf, or cabinets) it's also next to impossible to "play with." Public spaces where people congregate come in all shapes and sizes around the world. As impressive as a 4 baseplate square might be in size, it would be terribly difficult to display and I don't see it worth $400. (side note, sell last Fountain 40221 set just in case ...) 3 Quote

Expand Well I guess if we assume TLG follows the the same price per piece trend as the rest of the modular sets at ~.06 to .08 per, we are looking at somewhere between 5000 and 7000 pieces in this set. We would probably need around 1000 minifigs each with a hat or wig and an accessory. (give or take a megaphone and pretzel) But if they start throwing in stickers then that will blow my calculations.

abri123 Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 What about a midi-size collection of all the sets, as opposed to the mini modular one a few years ago? Quote

Then I thought of a few smaller buildings in a small marketplace. Now I think it might be the first true "square" Modular, with four completed sides, with different "assembly options." Maybe a modular within a Modular. 2 Quote
