The next one is rumored to be a postal outlet/office.

Hardware Store with a Barber Shop upstairs. Would fit the genteel older neighborhood/shopping district feel that all the modular houses have.blablabla wrote:the modular houses are one of the most important things lego come up with. there are five but people now wants more modular houses. this makes me a question. what is going to be the next modular house??

Re: what should be the next modular house?
Any source on that? I don't doubt you I just want to know where the info came from.strongholds wrote:The next one is rumored to be a postal outlet/office.
I'd love to see a postal outlet. Preferably a more old fashioned type with a million little slots and a sorting station and all that jazz. I do love the idea of a barber shop though. Maybe we could finally get some LEGO scissors then.

Re: what should be the next modular house?
Took this from here. Toystest basically explained everything for me.

The reason people think the next one is a post office is because of the following:
The Green Grocer had a Fire hydrant sitting outside -> Next set was the Fire Brigade
The Emporium has a mailbox in front of it -> people assume the next one is a mail office.

Re: what should be the next modular house?
It's not the most solid reasoning but it's something to go on. So what came before Green Grocer?

Re: what should be the next modular house?
I like the barber shop idea, mainly because I'd like to see how they do a pole. A train or bus station would be cool too. You could have a wall of the old Automats and ticket windows. The upper levels could be for the Automat & newstand. Shoe shine stations could be incorporated as well. I'm picturing kind of a UCS Transit Station if you will.
Disclosure of location should be required when listing your finds!
Re: what should be the next modular house?
I don't think a train Station would be quite in Keeping with the feel that the Modular houses have. Think of these side by side, and then a train station in the middle. Doesn't work so well. Now a Bus depot might, but with the Mass Transit set out right now, Lego might not want to go to that well again.possum wrote:I like the barber shop idea, mainly because I'd like to see how they do a pole.

Re: what should be the next modular house?
I'd put these in the 'highly likely' category:
These fit in to a more 'possible, but not probable' category:
These, I'd hazard as relatively 'not likely' due to their esoteric/more modern type of business. Most modular buildings have had a little more of an 'olde time' feel, like a five and dime store (which could be a good one, too):
The Sweet Shop could also be more like an Ice Cream Parlor.NIGELTTF wrote: Toy Store

I could also see the Deli as more of a Butcher's Shop. Gardening Store is too close to florist, which would be a more popular choice methinks, due to the colorful nature.Museum

Re: what should be the next modular house?
I think that the Ice cream parlor, also selling a few sweets, is a bit more visually appealing and has more play value, than a plain sweets shop. I meantioned the Comics Shop and Computer store because they are moderately common in a gentrified shopping district, but no they don't have that olde time feel.vynsane wrote:

When driving home from doing a lego display at the B&O museum this weekend, I thought of one the could have a grat deal of both play value and visual appeal: Bank.
Re: what should be the next modular house?
How about a bar with a restaurant on top? People got to eat.
Re: what should be the next modular house?
Bar isn't going with their family freindly image. For the same reason, you are never going to see "tobaccanist" in an official set again. Nor will you see Casino. Restaurant is perhaps a bit to close to 'Cafe.' even though It would be nice to see some 2X2 round printed tiles with food on them.slacker wrote:How about a bar with a restaurant on top?

Re: what should be the next modular house?
It seems it is going to be a bank.
Also, the next one from medieval market is going to be medieval windmill (this will be Lego Kingdoms of course).

Where did you get that information from? A bank sounds cool and will go well with my display. :)gabriellee11 wrote:It seems it is going to be a bank.

Re: what should be the next modular house?
I completely agree on the bank, crime stories and investigations are brilliant, and I wouldn't mind having a few police officers and a bank robber included as well, to add to my army like amount of them. The first floor would obviously be the actually point in which people take out money, on the 2nd you'd maybe have 3 small office rooms, the manager's included, plus a lounge for the tired employees. And then lastly on the top floor a safe, but a nice big one stashed with money and jewels.
Just a thought, but of course within this you can expand and add details, plus it would be great for playability. Maybe even if there was another opening onto the roof, like in the fire brigade, you could have your robber running out and free-running across the other modular houses.
