The tooth, crab, fire hydrant, and drum mixels are the best in my opinion. I really hope these come out soon. I'm actually more excited for mixels than the modular lol

It did look very Jamie-ish. It wasn't filled with the smaller little builds that Bessa excels at.
And the ornamentation along the top made me think it was Jamie experimenting again. Bless that man.
If anyone is going to be designing a modular, it's the man himself. Bessa would be interesting, but I'll take a Berard model any day!
I do wonder if Bessa is going to be designing the Ghostbusters Firehouse though - that set probably won't be out until spring or summer now.

There is no timeframe. Buildings stay around for centuries. You can see when they were built but decide yourself exactly what period you're using. And, it's a reuse of a tile that wouldn't fit in a specialized set, nothing more to it.

I knew it was Jamie when I saw the attachment for the crane thing. He loves his modified 2x2 plates with the extra hole.

Sorry guys, guess the EB poster had it wrong. Jaime doing awesome work again!

So You're saying the Scooby Doo living tree event is taking place either during or after the timeline of this modular? Interesting theory, Siegfried.

No, I'm saying that it's a random tile that means nothing except adding a little bit of texture. Not everything has to be over-analyzed to fit into a timeline.
On another note, I just noticed that the baseplate is either gold or yellow. Interesting.

Finally completed my JL Ribba frame 
))
One day, the whole wall shall be covered in glorious Minifig Ribba displays... (hopefully)
I keep putting off the work it takes to complete those frames even when i have the minifigs, probably because i hate doing handywork like cutting the cardboard, handling extra strong glue (i made a mess last time lol) etc. but in the end it only took me like a half hour of work i guess all combined. I do love the end results each and every time though

Have.... have all the previous mixels been that amazing? cause those look awesome. I guess I've been missing out.
oh and obligatory "i need the bank give it to me" post.
I kind of like the nexo knights, the figures especially. I wonder if I'll wind up buying some. I am a sucker for any remotely-medieval theme....

I'm signing up to TTTR's practice in the morning
That dune buggy batmobile polybag is just...man i'm not confident about these supes vs bats movie sets at all so far. To be fair the MoS sets weren't hot either so I wasn't expecting much but still. We have tons of Batmobiles, they were better off going DKR and making the Bat Tank with a Carrie Robin and then keeping the armored Batman. They could even throw in some mutant gang members and a lightpost with a light up brick.
That bank though, OMG, just so beautiful. My only and one complaint is I kinda wish there was some kind of fancy BANK sign on the front but that's a minor complaint. It's just waiting for a yellow school bus to smash through the front of it.

I'm guessing this modular will see an unprecedented number of demolitions done to it to show all kinds of supervillains (and/or dinosaurs) breaking in.

There's been a lot of great mixels. The first few waves focused on elemental stuff which got old pretty fast in my opinion, but they've been getting more themed latley and as a result have more room for imagination. This year's tribes I reccomend: Orbitrons (space themed), Klinkers (steampunk), and Weldos (construction). I won't reccomend the first year sets simply because they're out of stock and really expensive now.
But yeah, these new mixels are really expanding the concept and are the best yer in my opinion.

No wonder Lego City has been investing 95% of its GDP in the police and fire departments for years and years.
Thanks. I'll probably get lost in brickset in the very near future to browse them.

These new Mixels are great but they look like a higher piece count... Wondering what their price point is.

The NPU in the Modular Bank is amazing! Hearing that it was designed by Jaimie Berard shows he's still on top of his game.
I am perpetually 2 modulars behind in my purchases (Currently need Parisian Restaurant and Detective Office). LEGO isn't making it easy to catch up by coming out with more and more stuff I want.

After seeing all the new sets that I don't want and now the Bank, I think I might just get the Bank and call it good! Thank you Lego for saving me money.
Got some amazon credit for trade in for my 3DS systems after I upgraded to the new Animal Crossing N3DS. Ended up with about $333 and I am tempted to put it into two modulars and possibly buy a third one. Thinking about doing Pet Shot/Detectives Office/Restaurant. Not so sure about the Cinema.
I really like the bank that they showed off a few posts back and seems like this is a decent jumping in point with 4/5 sets being in print ATM. The other routes I was thinking is Temple of Airjitzu or getting the Ferris Wheel/Mixer.
Im so torn! lol

Pet Shop is a must. And get the cinema after since it will disappear first. You have about six months or more for Parisian Restaurant and another year or two for Detective Office.

Yea, not sure what the point is to be quite frank.
Definitely a solid build and fun and the neck is easy enough to fix if desired. I really hope they follow it up with EVE.
I love the flood of Lego news I love the bank modular, though it will probably be a very long while before I get it (I only have the Parisian Restaurant at the moment, so the Detective's Office and Cinema will go out of print sooner). The mixels are awesome. I like pretty much every set in the wave, especially the band and pirate ones!
Star Wars stuff I'm a little cold on but only because I prefer ships to play sets and am not sure about that B-Wing yet. Though it makes a lot of sense for that ship to get bulky, it's basically a space tank!

I'll probably get the Bespin and Hoth sets anyway, who am I kidding!

In for new Mixels and Nexo Mecha.
Saw it suggested on reddit that they might be prelim pics that used stands to pose the minifigs but hadn't yet photoshopped them out. Semi-plausible, I guess.
And man... that Carbon Freezing Chamber is so deeply disappointing. No Lando. No Chewie-with-Threepio-on-his-back. No Vader. And no Leia. Virtually every great element of that scene is simply missing from the set.
(The Ugnaught I can forgive, because where else are we going to get an Ugnaught? Other than our dream UCS Cloud City, of course...)
Really loving the new modular and the new Mixel designs! Will definitely be picking those up
Slightly disappointed that the rumour that was doing the rounds earlier in the year about the modular being a re-release of Cafe Corner didn't pan out tho. As someone who came to modulars quite late I'm never going to be able to own that, market street (which TBH doesn't really bother me) or the Green Grocers...

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Oh Yes!. I just got the Detective building a couple weeks ago. Haven't built it yet. This looks nice. Is this the 4th corner piece now?

It appears Cosmic Boy minifig is the next LEGO Legion of Super-Hero (LoSH) to be made.
Lightning Lad was the first LoSH to appear. It was a very random minifig sold in 5004077-1: Minifigure Cube exclusively at Target. Cosmic Boy has a Punisher look to me mainly because I've seen that hair used on custom Punisher minifigs and the white on black torso vaguely has the shape of Punisher's skull.
I can only hope Saturn Girl and more LoSH characters will be made. My childhood dreams are coming true!
EDIT: My bad. Others have pointed out it wasn't released yet. I was thinking of the cube that came with Superboy.

Now I see where you're going! The Mystery Machine has a computer in it just like the Town Hall. A lot of people couldn't wrap their head around the timeline, but I think you may be onto something, Siegfried.

FYI, barnesandnoble.com has a Buy 1, Get 1 50% off sale on select toys, with a bunch of Lego included. There is a decent selection that allows you essentially get 25% off MSRP on each set if you pair them right.
Wait i never saw that cube for sale at all. Was it already released? I thought it would be a black friday thing like last year.
That cube isn't out yet.

Advent Calendars are in there as well as Scooby sets. It also looks like they have Lonely Mountain as part of the deal.

If I was to get into Modulars, where would I start? I assume a lot of the old ones are stupid expensive.
Either get the ones you like if you don't plan to buy them all or start with the ones about to retire which are Pet Shop and Palace Cinema.
Whewww. I was lucky and got a cube last year and wanted this one because im a fan of the Legion. Cosmic Boy gives me hope we might at least get the main trio.

Perfect! I'll go for the ones about to retire. Thanks.

Oops. My bad. My brain got mixed up with the Superboy cube. I'm overwhelmed with all the news lately and getting things mixed up.
I updated my post. Thanks.

The problem is that we don't know which ones do. Pet Shop should have already retired, but Town Hall beat it. I suspect Palace Cinema might too.
Either way it's the one to get first, then Parisian Restaurant.
