Meiko Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Recently I've been building my Modular Buildings, and I thought they could have some good discussion here on BZPower. I guess talk about new ones when they come out, or state ideas of what would make good future modular buildings. So... let the discussion begin!

Queen of Noise Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'd like to see them do something really intricate and different, like the Unisphere or something. Quote bring back "an cool dude" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiko Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'd like to see them do something really intricate and different, like the Unisphere or something.My gosh, that would be intense, but difficult. It also wouldn't fit too well as a city block. It could potentially work as it's own block, but the set would probably cost a ton.

mdiggler Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'd love to see a large ruined/ broken down building (boarded up windows, cobwebs, busted up stairs, etc.). It would really add a more somber atmosphere to the otherwise cheerful and carefree theme. Quote Signature Guidelines: Signature may not exceed the 800x300 limit.

Ta-metru_defender Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I bought the Market Place set a few years ago. It's a cool set. I've used it as bookends several times over the years, haha. Since being reunited with a portion of my Lego collection I've built another building in the modular style and currently have a small street for my Avengers sets to do epic battle.All said, I kinda would like another modular set. Sadly, financial priorities don't permit such a purchase.Shame, really.

Sadly, financial priorities don't permit such a purchase.Shame, really.Creative use of them as bookends. I wish the Market Street to get a hold of. That's the only one (besides the new Town Hall) that I don't own.Thankfully, I picked just about all of mine while they were on sale at the LEGO stores during BrickFair.

Master of Greyhounds Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I wasn't interested in it untill I got the green grocer, but by then I missed the first 2. I now really, really regret it. Quote Yeah, so I'm back. I'm ACDC997 on Minecraft and Star Wars BF2. I was Toa of Stupidness, but now that im on here again, I deserved a name change.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yeah, they certainly look cool and all, but they just don't have enough nerd appeal to make my wallet willing to take the hit. Something like the Executor has a much better chance of actually being bought. ~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liopleurodon Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 They're too expensive for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think they should make some new buildings such as museums, bookstores, and parks. Buildings that are larger than just one module would allow for bigger and more detailed creations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think they should make some new buildings such as museums, bookstores, and parks. Buildings that are larger than just one module would allow for bigger and more detailed creations.Unfortunately, they'd also be massively expensive. The normal modular buildings run you around $150, and the Town Hall costs $180. The modular buildings are already well-outside the price point of many Lego fans, and doubling a building's footprint might very well double its price, as well.I do, however, second the call for a museum, or a bookstore/library.
