Any idea on which Iron Man that is in the set? I see the circle power source. It appears it may be the version that came only in the first Quinjet set.
Will be a cheap way for people to get that one if that is the case.

It appears it is. LEGO is surprising me with all the new elements. It will be very useful for decorative purposes. LEGO must be raking in the dough to be adding so many new elements every year. It's also used as teeth on the winged horse Mixel and the teeth in one of the dentist Mixels.
The last wave of Mixel pictured is very interesting. It has renewed my interest in Mixels.

There are so many reveals now all at once i don't even know where to start...
Just when i thought Mixel fatigue was a real thing, these AMAZING looking ones come out and blow all previous ones out of the water all of a sudden. May have to convert my collection into those Max Mixels in order to save room for the new ones hmm...
Nexo Knights DO have a smaller set featuring the Fire Imp, yeah!!! No need to buy that huge castle thing for me then.
Might have to get Obi Wan's interceptor there as well, the rest leaves me cold luckily...

I wanna see the Juniors Disney Princess sets. Will they be Minidolls, or like the other "girl" Juniors sets will they be standard Minifigs?
Also Minecraft Wave 3 *frothing anticipation*

The modular bank sounds amazing! I like all the talk of decoration since that's what I love so much about the Parisian Restaurant.
Thinking I need to start getting into the Mixel game as well, those things look full of useful pieces you could use in a MOC modular.

Ninjago was over, Lego wanted a ninja theme, so they got the TMNT license. Ninjago came back, Lego didn't need two ninja themes, they let go of the TMNT license.
So bummed we never got so many key characters in Lego form. April, Casey Jones, MetalHead, Rocksteady and BeeBop ;___;
As for Scooby-Doo, they're doing yearly movies as well. Yet to be seen if they'll release more sets to coincide with their releases but as far was we know, right now it's a one wave theme.

Lots of cool looking sets. I'm not that interested in any of those line but they definately look cool. I might need that underwater Cap though.
Those mixels are hilarious though. I like the idea of the next modular. A bank is needed and has lots of superhero scene setting potential.

Yeah, and the idea of a little story in it too makes it the best of both worlds (I love Detective's Office for that)
I need the Hoth Battle to pad out my little diorama with the AT-AT and Snow Speeder. Don't have a lot of rebels in that scene (shame there is only one generic Rebel soldier here though, and could've used a Tauntaun). Looks like a cheap set around 27 euro's, though with the raised star wars tax, one never knows.
Don't really like the TFA B-Wing though. To bulky compared to the very slick original. Still on the fence of getting the original one (I know a shop that has it still in stock), but it feels like it is not a good display set as landing mode isn't as cool as folded out...
is this a set, or a promotional? Could be tied in with the modular like the flower cart last year?

Oh shit I've just noticed the silly play on words.
The bank/laundromat combo... it's about money laundering!

Looks awesome, although I bet people will complain about it being "small".
* Elves keys and railings!
* Nexo shields!
* Are those pullies being used for the tilted roof decoration?
* The pully system for the laundomat roof is nice.
* What the heck are those things in the first floor detailing above the windows?
* Dat ornate street bench.
* Holy crap LGB bars all over the lower floor!
* Friends curved windows in sand green!
* At least 34 sand green 2x3 windows!
* Banker guy has a gold version of the new pin-holding tile!

On a first glance I thought it looked quite plain, the colours all a bit weird, but the more I look at it the more I like it. Some of the detailing is nice, like the bench and the Laundrette sign. I dunno why there's a ladder and a rope but I hope it's because there's a robbery in progress - Ace Brickman better get that candy-smuggling case sorted out quickly because he's going to have more work to do soon.
Going to ignore too many details about the interior though, they're always more fun to discover mid-build.

Modular looks great. I'll take a closer look when I'm on a pc. Not where I'll out another corner modular though.

Love love love the new modular! Wow, such nice colors and looks like new techniques, too. I won't study too much because I'd like to be surprised when building it. Also I love how the laundromat was squeezed in
Edit: are those zip line pieces in the detailed decor? Oh lord. I cannot wait. This may rival PR for me.

Racing themed mixels? Band themed mixels? Castle themed mixels? Firetruck themed mixels? Dentist themed mixels?
Okay guys, mixels are officially the greatest theme lego has ever conceived. I thought they couldn't keep coming up with good ideas after the first couple waves but it seems like they're just getting started.

Brick Bank looking great. I still need to grab Cinema Palace, Parisian Restaurant and Detective Agency though
Having just ordered a Fire Brigade for £250, I'd say get 'em while you still can. That £400 Town Hall is going to make me cry as well =(

Love the bank. What a great surprise to wake up to.
I will have 3 corner buildings once I buy it. Looks like I will seperate them into 2 blocks and and an intersection between them.
Edit: That chimney goes all the way down to the vault and it looks like there might be a swivel opening over the vault (based on the sand colored tech pin).

Got Town hall and Fire Brigade already.
LEGO should have enough to make a new Mini Modulars set. The first one was a great build.

Are all those mixels part of the same wave? Or is that wave 7 and wave 8? I don't think I can wait until next summer to get my hands on the dentist ones ;x

Interesting that the "tree comes to life" printed tile from the Scooby Doo line is hanging in the laundromat.
Does that help nail down the ellusive timeframe of the modulars, or just add another monkey wrench into other theories?

That's great news - I was wondering if Marcos would get a turn at the modulars.
How does he find the time to design so many of LEGO's sets these days though?
Still waiting on the designer video.
Mixel designs are so creative. That tooth brush is amazing! So many nice parts in them as well. I like to pick them up as I see them. I have them sit on my desk area and pose them around.
Is it normal for modular builds to include only the smile face? I've never gotten one but it is a nice touch.

Holy poop! A Lego friends pug! Yep. Getting that.
Why do all the SW sets have circular stands for the characters?

I go to bed and all this awesomeness just appears.
The modular, as expected, looks amazing. That was a purchase no matter what it looked like though.
The Mixels though, are a big surprise. The first few that were posted made me think, "Go home, Mixels. You're drunk." But they just got cooler and cooler. Especially the band and dentist themed ones.
EDIT: And damn, brilliant way to attach the glass door pieces for the teller windows.

So I picked up an built the Winter Village Toy Shop. Great little holiday set. Like it better than the Winter Village Cottage, which is the only other one in the set I own.
I quite like the dentist and pirate Mixels, but I think the drum kit Mixel is my favorite.
Marcos Bessa did NOT design the Bank. He said that it was designed by... Jamie!
