You are going to have people for a long time who don't want to strain their eyes reading a pad when there are large buildings full of free books in just about every town
And thank god too
Those extra 7-8 studs for the sidewalk really make a difference
How about a building that is a little bit longer (but shorter) that uses a 32x32 and 32x16 together? Even on a corner that would work
They still appear in many spots in the catalogs, so I see another corner modular appearing in 2017.
We could see a police/court set.
Something more unconventional like a TV studio would also be interesting.
Someone mentioned a car dealership - that would be awesome, but doesn't lend itself to the modular theme.
I can see a museum being made before a school or library. A school can even be somewhat detailed if made, but a library in LEGO? What is it going to be really? A ton of 2x2 tiles on a shelve in a room with some tables? They are not going to make a huge library with either no 'books' (basically put a bunch of 1x2 plated in different colors in a lump on a shelve) and they are not likely to put a load of 2x2 tiles ( even more costly book pieces) in the shelves to represent the books as that would be cost prohibitive. Maybe they could use stickers, as everyone seems to 'love' those.
I guess they could combine both, but again an awful lot of pieces to represent the books
I think LEGO has a pattern for corner buildings, it is corner - 2 'street' sets - corner, so I think the next is likely a corner building. Also makes sense, as GE is gone, the next is likely a corner building. Maybe they will do a garage type set? With a Lobby on one side and a garage door (or two) on the other side for car maintenance? It would be a bit of a rehash type set, but then again what else is left for LEGO for a corner set?
I guess some kind of ground floor store or 'greasy spoon diner' (unlucky due to the Parisan Restaurant) on the ground floor with apts on the upper floors?
Maybe the Bank makes sense here.
I'm sure LEGO will come up with another design that is pleasing and somewhat unexpected as they have done fairly well recently.
As for the alternative exchange on this topic - let's just agree to be less sensitive and less critical. I'm sure we all have very important lives doing important things and can agree that posting discussion points on a very helpful website could be time better used curing cancer or increasing human productivity. It's a hobby, we all enjoy it.
Pictures, no pictures, I'm happy the more people contribute towards positive dicourse on a common interest. (Sermon over!)
An auto dealership would be cool, and I think it would work fine as a modular... even as a corner building.

Maybe if it came with an attach parking lot

This old postcard from Legoland Billund gives you an idea of how it could be:
I'd have to switch it up each building
So, library or museum or dentist.Library and museum, arent for me suprise because they are doing well on lego ideas(Library 5K votes, Museum 10K votes and already in review) so lego probably jump on the hype train.
I hope for museum, because that ideas submission is fantastic and can be possible in price and piece point as town hall acording to that submission designer.
Also at this time, thanks to ideas, is museum on popularity peak, so making it will be very clever idea.Also it can be corner, with one wall full of glasses that we can see what is inside.

And it for sure sounds like a pushy interviewer situation to me
I would hardly call it rock solid info
Did the guy just start rattling off a list of building themes in order to gauge how much the designer twitched?
I do remember seeing a MOC somewhere recently with a dentist on the 2nd floor above a videogame or comic book store. Other then a nice brick built giant tooth sign I don't remember anything all that interesting about it.
I don't know what PR problems they might run into. Lego did produce the Research Institute ;)
After that is probably retail and residential, so maybe some apartments with dentist.
And at last if we follow layout is government building, so I´m thinking about huge natural museum.
This is only my predictions based on that rumours.But after success of museum at ideas page, they maybe push it earlier.We already know, that lego made some ideas sets unnoficial as wide release.Also detective office is not government at all.For example tumbler, hellicarier and sandcrawler.Also jurassic park theme and little western town=lone ranger.
P.s.:Detective office is not government at all, so corner can be whatever lego want.
I'm sure this has been discussed to death in another thread, but here are some mods/half-mods that I think could be done well, and fit somewhat with the 'days of yesteryear' theme that I always thought TLG was going for.
- Laundromat (maybe a bit repetitive, but some potential)
- Video Game Arcade (I'm thinking skee-ball, some whack-a-mole and lots of different colors arcade cabinets)
- Recording or Photo Studio
- Florist
- Post Office
- Candy Store (think like an old 5&10 in the US)
- Hardware Store
- Supermarket (this seems unlikely with the Kwik-E-Mart just being released)
None of these really seem 'corner-worthy' though. Instead, I assume we'll get some type of medical building or civic building.
