Modulars - general conversation

With the current number of official LEGO designs (including one created by a fan for the short lived Factory line), numerous MOC's available on eBay, various amounts of ideas on CUUSOO, unique creations across Flickr, and detailed builds on MOCpages, makes me wonder what modular house design would you like to see LEGO come up with next?

Here is a quick list of what has already been done.

Cafe Corner (2007)
Market Street (2007)
Green Grocer (2008)
Fire Brigade (2009)
Grand Emporium (2010)
Pet Shop (2011)
Town Hall (2012)
Palace Cinema (2013)
Parisian Restaurant (2014)
Detective's Office (2015)
Brick Bank (2016)
Assembly Square (2017)

I do not have a favorite as they are all very well designed and make fantastic displays. I simply started this thread to hear you guys' input & ideas as to what you would like to see them design next in their lineup of modular style houses. As for me, I would like to see something fast-food related like a burger joint or pizza parlour or maybe even a chinese restaurant. Since we have a fire station there should be a police precinct, and I think it would be amusing if they did an irish pub, haha.

Regardless of what it may be, any modular style housing design always ends up being remarkable. Considering how much everyone here enjoys the 'modulars', I expect this thread to get quite busy!

Here is a compiled list of every idea everyone has come up with thus far.

Irish Pub
50's Diner
Medical Center
Mechanic & Auto Repair
Photo/Camera Store
City Bank
Police Precinct
Post Office
LEGO Store
Car Dealership
Donut Shop
Sporting Goods
San Francisco Victorian-style buildings

Old Chicago-style buildings
Toy Store
Hardware Store
Ice Cream Parlour
Library
Jazz Club
Coffee Joint
Grand Hotel
Embassy
Comedy Club
Laundry Outlet
Wig Store
Magic Shop
General Store

Finally, here is a list showing the pattern for the officially designed modulars excluding Market Street. Perhaps in some interesting way, we can use this to help gauge what the next release shall be.

Cafe Corner - corner / business
Green Grocer - straight / business, residential
Fire Brigade - straight / government
Grand Emporium - corner / business
Pet Shop - straight / business, residential
Town Hall - straight / government
Palace Cinema - corner / business
Parisian Restaurant - straight / business, residential
Detective's Office - straight / business, residential
Brick Bank - corner / business
Assembly Square - straight / business, residential
Downtown Diner - straight / business, residential
Corner Garage - corner / business
? - straight / business, residential

Fire Brigade retires, bring on the Police Station. Book it.

If TLG would do a Police Station, I wonder how it would look. I am guessing that it would look somewhat similar to the FB.

I feel like a hotel would be another corner set. I think a post office, police station, museum or hospital are good possibilities. I don't see them doing another market or apartments since that's really similar to Market St and there are so many other options.

They could easily do some great modular called Museum of history and in it you could have like 4 rooms all from Antics (Roman shield, Medusa head, bows, armors, catapults to Aztecs and pirates, revolutionary wars and then guns and then space guns ....

 

Would be a great building i bet!

Modular convenience store wouldn't be a bad idea. Wouldn't mind a LEGO Store either... ;)

I love the Lego store idea. It would make my modular city perfect!

A hospital would be great.  I think it more likely they will go with a Police Station though.  Museum would be a good bet at some stage as well.

I've said this many times and I'll say it again. 2 Half Modular releases (like the individual Pet Shop Buildings sold seperately) would be great. From a business point of view it qould really help TLG reel in new customers who have been thus far shying away from them due to their price tags (like me lol). 75-90 bucks USD a pop would be a dream come true. From there they could do two ideas in one year (probably like Pet Shop, with a residential and some sort of specialty store), and serious modular collectors would pick up both anyways.

How about a Post Office with 10 minifigs in a long queue holding parcels with the LEGO logo on them? For a UK version, make that 50 in a queue with 40 of them holding benefit books! ;-)

I'd actually like to see another 2-part set like the Pet Shop eg. Butcher & Fishmonger next to each other. Or... Pie Shop & Barber?

Barber, butcher and fishmonger all sound like realistic and interesting ideas. I'd love to see a barber shop.

LEGO probably will never make this, since they tend to go around religious structures/builds, but I wouldn't mind a large cathedral of some sort. Not only would it have lots of nice tan pieces, it would be pretty impressive looking.

A Strip Club!     :devil:

I think that notion is quite uncalled for  :getlost:

Maybe a post office or barber shop next to each other. That would be great.

I'd like to see a church.

While I have no idea what its going to be I must say I would love if LEGO makes a great looking Modular Hospital ...... 

 

 

My top wish list:

 

- Hospital

- A true City market (not Market stree type of market :P)

- Post office

- Block of flats

- Museum

 

Hospital would be nice :D

Record store

I don't see the interior being at different from GG.

I think it would make sense for them to do another 2 part model for each side of the greater square block that we will have eventually. Interesting idea to split it into two sets. I feel like if done right $80 would be a great price point. Or even $100.

A bank or a concert hall!

i would love to see a police station, would go well with the fire station. If not that then a post office would be great.

 

I dont think they would do a "house" as the modular series is more about city buildings and the two apartments in the petshop and the one in green grocer pretty much have the living space covered at this point.

 

I have a design for a brewer/factory that i plat to build some day but it might be a little to "real" for LEGOs liking haha

Yeah... bank would rock!

 

 

 

My top favorites for now (new) Bank and Museum!

A school or library... or both
