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

 

I think we'll just have to start stacking the corner buildings vertically.

"LEGO Detective Agency Modular Set Coming In 2015"

Soooo like a police station? The blurred background looks good!

That image uses somebody's custom modular posted on flickr faded in the background and is not official. I am pretty sure I know the structure and probably is somewhere in my favorites but I can't remember right this moment.

Nope Palace Cinema is a corner.

 

Cafe Corner is too

I cannot wait for this to come out. Although I was hoping for a modular bad ass train station. I wonder what this detective/police agency will do to the value of the fire brigade. In my head people would like to have both together. If this is a corner building as well it only makes more sense and confirms Grand Emporium to retire soon. At least to me.

I was also hoping for some sort of transit station, seems like the next logical addition to a modular city.

 

I doubt this will be a corner, though. If you go by the pattern of modular releases since the start, this will not be a corner building. The Palace Cinema just released last year and will be around for quite a while.

Just as I pointed out that image uses someone's custom modular blurred in the background and is not official, here is my proof.

Was checking out another site and someone posted the following link:

Does this make it official??

 

 

BTW - That Pumpkin Factory MOC posted above is so damn amazing. Thinking about buying the plans so I can figure out the elevator mechanism.

I think the dragon could be a good seller.

How much longer do you guys think we have to wait for the next modular reveal? Up to this point, we have seen a bulk of next years' product in the past month or so. Wasn't the new modular supposed to be released on January 1st? The suspense is killing me.

The Lego employee at my store said it will be the much talked about Detective Agency

It looks like a poor man's 6751 Fiery Legend

I wonder if it will be a $40 set too.. sigh..

This block is going to be crazy now. In one building, a family is choosing a new cherished pet, next door- a young couple pick fresh vegetables from the market for a potato salad dish and plan a trip to the theatre later. In an adjacent building, "suspects" are being water-boarded while two shady henchmen attach the wiring of a golf cart battery to a criminal that simply won't talk.

This is a much-needed element of realism for the modular line which, generally speaking, overly romananticize and idealize authentic urban life. It's not all ice cream and bicycle shops in the real world; TLG needs to draw more on The Wire and less on Mary Poppins when considering future designs.

I am relieved however, to hear of the new 4,622 piece Creator set for 2015- "Guantanamo Bay".

Ole kirk christiansen is rolling over in his grave.

Am I the only one who is wondering about a theoretical "detective agency" being the only modular you cannot really connect to a certain building (front) look - leaving the question why they name it "detective agency", mabe because they will (from now on) add more play value? (making in more of a detective agency on the inside). I mean a restaurant, a cafe, a (pet) shop, a fire brigade, town hall, cinema etc. all can be identified from outside either by the building (front) itself or by some remarkable shopwindows / signs / advertisement etc. But a detective agency? Is there really a characteristic building for that? So why not call it something like "ancient office building" - of course a little bit more refined one of a name in the end. I hope you get what I'm talking about. What does - for example - a "PR agency BUILDING" or a "travel agency BUILDING" look like? Would it be any different from the detective one (I mean in real life)?  I still dont get the name and will doubt till release that this will really be the official name.

Am I the only one who is wondering about...

Yes... yes you're the only one ^.^

Red creatures looks awesome

Red creatures looks awesome

 

Especially the scorpion:

Some of those are available at TRU right now.

31030 - Red Go-kart

31034 - Future Flyer

31035 - Beach Hut

31036 - Toy & Grocery Shop

If only these new mini-modulars were more detailed, as we have discussed in the past... great concept; a bit more "flavor" would make them so much more appealing. Love the scorpion as well.

Is it me or does it appear that Lego does not advertise the modulars very well?  I feel that these sets would have so much more potential if more consumers were aware that they even existed. 

Here are a bunch of reviews by JANGBRICKS on these upcoming Creator sets already.
