Spider-man does go great with the modulars. Even my wife has taken to him swinging around the different buildings in our modular city. I've been meaning to add that particular Doc Ock as a counterpart and Alpine makes a great point; I'm going to be getting one of these before double VIP ends. : )

 

BB really makes one appreciate PR though. Recent ones have taken interiors to the next level but exteriors aren't as legen-wait-a-year-for-the-next-modular-dary anymore. PR was easily the best combination of exterior and interior.

I'm am entirely serious about that Doc Ock set. I'm going to stock up on these starting tomorrow.

Also PR has a combination of tenants -- restaurant, apartment, and artist's studio -- that makes sense.  I would prefer that Lego leave the storytelling to builders' imaginations, especially for 'expert' level sets.

I liked it but I'm coming around because I don't like basing major parts of a set around the story. I don't feel like the DO changed significantly from what it would've been, whereas I think the laundry facility is a bit forced and took away from the core build.

 

It's interesting how they started the modular line by promoting duplication. Corners were all-star sets for that, too. Recently though they've steered away from that. I have no desire for a second PR or DO. Corner Bank? Sounds like a home run. But the floor plan as a result of fitting in the Laundry room makes multiples much less desirable. I'm sure they know that though and have observed people just having 1-ofs anyway due to space now or something.

Hopefully it doesn't come with an armored truck polybag lol

I will have to buy two of these sets to make one proper one.

...and they got ya again.

It's a secret bank?  How does anyone walking by know without a sign?

I was actually thinking of the same thing. This is too short and skinny to be a proper corner/iconic bank building. It has to be taller and maybe wider. lol

I'm cool with BB.  DO bugs me a bit, since it simply does not fit with the other modulars.  It's a gritty, wrong side of the tracks sort of building.  All the rest are very upscale, 5th Avenue types.  In surveys, 93% of minifigures say they would cross to the other side of the street to avoid walking past the DO.  Unless they wanted some 'cookies', of course, but no one ever admits that in surveys...

I think that DO will fit well next to the laundry on the "side street". I can see LegoLand getting grittier as you get off of Main Street. Need to build some apartment buildings and a bodega for the other side of the side street. I'd be happy if Lego started to alternate buildings on each side of the tracks.

I think you gave me an idea. How about a "Zombie Apocalypse" version of the Modulars?

I think you gave me an idea. How about a "Zombie Apocalypse" version of the Modulars?

In a grim future scarred from a deadly plague, the world is overrun by a swarm of the undead thirsting for the fresh flesh of the living. Now traveling from one rundown house to another, a handful left of the human race are tasked to find the few other survivors out there amongst the remains while searching for the lost key that will restore the natural order. Hungry savages at all sides, a cursed legacy behind them, an unknown path riddled with chaos before them, can they succeed in saving the Earth ....and their own humanity?

(Cue the 80's "John Carpenter" style horror music.)

Then you definitely have to build the Winchester!

Someone has...pics of recent Santa Clara Lego exhibition.

Nice! Walking dead Lego edition

This could be any one of a couple dozen good-sized US cities.  Today, that is.  No need to wait for the zombie apocalypse.  The zombie couple is cute though.  Makes you wonder how they met...

Wow.  They finally adjusted the price with Canadians.  Too bad ;(

The retail 'exchange rate' between CDN and USD has always been worse with the modular sets- 30% higher on average. For the this reason alone I've mostly avoided the line for investing.

I assume they met on NBC

Here are some close-ups to give a better view on all the features.

 I like the office on the first floor with the dark green walls and how it overlooks the foyer

Eurozone prices now up. If you aree Dutch, look away now:

AUT/DE/ES/EIRE/PT: 150 euros FRI/IT: 160 euros, BE/ NL: 170 euros

Pretty cool.  Lego needed a modular bank.  But I'm not convinced that the "money laundering" helps the set.  I would have preferred an area for ATM machines.

Might be a case of being too creative.

Luckily I live 10 km from the border with Germany, nice 150 euro. We always getting . here in Holland, if it's not by Brussel then it is by Lego itself.

There is a reason you know... why most people do not like Brussel Sprouts.
