LEGO’s New Modular Townhouse Could Be a Disappointment

Today we talk about the new Icons and Ideas sets that are releasing over the next few months. I am very concerned this set could be overpriced or be a reused build with different colors.

P.S. - Sorry about the long into last time guys, that one slipped by me!

Well the photos are out and it looks like one of the best modular's ever.

It is by far the most detailed modular building

I think Lego running out of ideas for modular, all I can think off is a hospital and a school, as for Marvel they can make the Baxter Budling, Oscorp Tower and Fisk Tower.

I dont think "Residential Townhouse" is the official name for this modular. I think thats just what someone said it might be. It could very well be a large apartment building with a store attached. It could end up being anything. With such a large piece count, its going to be an amazing set packed with detail.

nah it'll be great. we don't really have any modulars for the minifigs to live in so this will be cool. I have faith in Lego I'm ready to see what it looks like

Following the pattern of modular buildings, this year's set should be a corner building. So if it's indeed a townhouse at least it'll have a unique shape and hopefully some cool building techniques. However, I'm still hoping it's a Hospital modular building.

if they do this it will prove that lego is not the same as it used to be

So they "Orient Expressed" the Botanical Gardens, took a great design and changed it into a still okay design but not as good. One day Lego will realise that not everyone lives in a 20, 000 square foot mansion, so turning an already wide design another 16 studs wider making it two baseplates might just make it too large. I just do not have space long term for a two baseplate building that really needs to be on its own.
Have fun building.

Maybe the "leak" is a red herring? I would love for LEGO to absolutely and deliberately mislead us!

I think your argument could be flawed.
You said the botanical garden looks like a better set… but we don’t know what either will actually look like yet
You can’t compare the Modular’s to any other icons sets, they were the OG adult set, YEARS before “icons” existed” (I knew it was something different when I bought my cafe corner back in 2007!!!)
You’re saying you’re concerned about the side building… but why do you think there will be a side building, it could easily be one building like the green grocer, town hall, or fire brigade.
I have bought every Modular, pretty much as soon as it is released, since 2007 and we haven’t had a residential building yet, so I’m excited for it to join the others.
Personally I don’t think the Modular’s should be joined with the other “icons” sets. They are an entire theme of their own… they used to be classified at “Creator Expert” and that’s how I still think of them.

Seems like every collector wants different things. Me personally, I didn’t get into modular buildings until 2022, so my options are much more limited and I have no specific wants or expectations from the series. I’d even be totally okay with them just remastering some older sets, or even reincorporating certain things into newer sets like Assembly Square did. Beats paying $700 for some of those older modulars with simple building techniques and complete empty interiors.

I'll wait until we see some pictures of it before making up my mind. Give it a chance.

What if it's a post office with apartments upstairs. Similar to the detectives office.

What are you concerned about? If it’s a good model at a good price, people will buy it. If not, people won’t buy it.
