    I meant as in,
    the line of separations between floors that is obvious in every modular doesn't show here, to which the only way they could have done that is by using SNOT.

    Also yes, that appears to be a gym. Not surprising considering the shirtless guy.

    EDIT: Technic Leaks!

    That truck doesn't even look like technic! I like it:)  The alternate build is as good as some primary builds as well IMO.

    More technic pics!

    Fairly decent; looks like a small version of that pickup truck from 2014. I'm starting to like this trend of midi-size technic vehicles.

    Again, pretty interesting. I don't think they've ever done a hovercraft in technic.

    Brickset is listing set 10260 as "diner". Either it's speculation or they actually know something about the "diner".

    Not to mention that apparently the photo is being deleted off some LEGO user group sites, including the original source where it came from (a Chinese Forum apparently).
    I guess this is the real deal then.

    And the minifig heads?
    Well, it's been 10 years already, I suppose the Modular Buildings line could start having some changes.

    I really dig the look of that diner. It might become my second modular (I only have the Palace Cinema currently).

    Does anyone know if the Taj Mahal re-release is limited and will only be available on the 27th and only if you are quick enough to type with your fingers to get it?

    Lego doesn't roll that way. It should be available for at least a year, supply permitting.

    Yeah, I think with the Assembly Square providing such a great coda for the first decade of Modulars, now is the perfect time to introduce some tweaks to the pattern. I think branching out into non-smiley faces is a welcome change. I get what they were going for using the smilies, keeping it classic and all, but I personally enjoy modern minifigs with their varied expressions and facial patterns. I feel like most people who have a Modular City setup are probably already mixing other minifigs in there as it is, so no reason to keep them out of the sets themselves.

    Oh, and the Diner looks TERRIFIC. While part of me always wanted a classic 50’s train car-style diner, this is just as nice and probably works better in a Modular City. And that leaves room for a train-car-style one to be done as a stand-alone Creator set someday.

    With Walmart having a bunch of Star Wars on sale, I took advantage of it and finally picked up Battle of Scarif. I've wanted the chunk for my small Imperial shelf for a while - it's a non-Hoth location-based set, among other things - but base MSRP of $55 was was absolutely unacceptable. $40 is way more palatable. And yeah, it's not the fanciest set, but the parts are decent, I wanted a couple more R1 characters (and the one battleback will add extra stormies and Death Troopers relatively cheaply, and it looks good with the Imperial Hovertank. Shame the landing pad isn't really big enough to park anything on it as-built, but the Inquisitor's TIE from Rebels -might- be able to squeeze on there.

    ^ Will any of the Last Jedi sets be on sale particularly the heavy assault walker?

    I found this mini falcon at Target. 20171120_185538.jpg

    If I remember the shelf tags, it looked like the stuff that wasn't specific to Force Awakens or Last Jedi is what was on sale - the TFA Falcon wasn't, nor the Resistance Bomber right next to it, but the R1 sets and...basically everything else was (Carbonit Chamber, Vader Transformation, battlepacks, etc.).

    Also that is the derpiest mini-Falcon I think I've ever seen.

    I don't usually get the buildable figures but that Darth Vader and Boba Fett look good.
