I'm going to let TOK start the Creator 2015 thread, and do all his magic there.  But wanted to get this out there.

 

The Brick Fan posted the first rumored Creator 2015 sets.  They include:

 

Blue Racer

Sea Plane

Cargo Helicopter

Red Go-Kart

Vehicle Transporter

Beach Hut

Toy & Grocery Shop

 

The Toy & Grocery Shop sounds similar to this year's Bike Shop & Cafe.  To me, that's awesome.  I like the idea of smaller buildings, lower cost entry point, multiple designs, and filling a niche that's missing in the city theme.

 

I bought two of the Bike Shop & Cafes, because I like two of the three designs a lot.  They're much smaller, so easier to display within my Winter Village and Halloween Town displays.  I wanted a City Hall, but compared to the rest of the buildings in my display, City Hall would just dwarf them.  I like this much better.

The Brick Fan is reporting that a member on Brickset is reporting a new modular:

I have been reliably informed that the next modular is a Detective Agency.

I'd expect the US retail price to be $200. Anyone have thoughts, additional rumors, or comments?

Not surprising at all.  They were due another gov't agency since the last couple were retail establishments.   Would prefer a hospital, but a police station type will be nice as well.  I wonder if they will stick with the older time period them like Fire Brigade or if they will go modern with the vehicle.  You would think they would go with an old school paddy wagon or something like that.

Aren't detective agencies private enterprises?

Hot damn I hope that ends up being true. A Police building of some sort would be awesome. Could be a great HQ for kid detective Tracer Bullet. :-)

Precisely what I pointed out. The sterling pound amount stated for this upcoming Detective Agency is the same as the Parisian Restaurant.

The extra $10 was because the Parisian Restaurant had a higher piece count than the usual Modular, so I would expect around 2500 pieces.  From an appearance standpoint, I visualize a darker Modular...in the greys, dark greys and black.  Detective Agencies of the movies and old TV were dark and seedy places.

Would be fantastic if the agency was on the second floor, with a speakeasy/bar on the 1st, but I'm sure they won't do that.

That's what I'm hoping for; a nice dark brooding moody modular with a James Cagney minifigure.

I think you're right with the agency being on the second floor as for what may be on the first is anyone's guess. A barber shoppe perhaps.

Well, I suppose there are "private investigators", but police departments also have detectives.  In my mind, this will be a police department.

For color scheme, I hope it is light and dark bley with dark blue trim.  I know it's not the most colorful, but it would make the most sense.  I could see some of the dark tan that Fire Brigade used as well.

Harry Dresden MOC anyone? Be great for Halloween with dragons, vampires, and all sorts of craziness.

really like the idea of a detective agency.  Sherlock Holmes will have his own building but a **** Tracy minifig would be better

I was hoping for a hospital but I will take the building from Homicide life on the streets in Baltimore

The censor machine thinks you were calling him a bad name.  It is funny what gets picked up by that thing.

Well, I hope Jack Bauer gets his own interrogation room with an electrified bed and waterboarding bench.

Is it weird to hope that this is NOT a corner building unit?

Nope, I was hoping for not a corner building too... Now we need to move into our bigger space all that much sooner Ack.

It does look like a corner building, doesn't it?  GE is the only corner building we have right now, right?
