LEGO released 10182 Cafe Corner in 2007, setting a new standard for large-scale modular buildings. Since then, LEGO has continued to release new structures in the modular building series — 10190 Market Street, 10185 Green Grocer, 10197 Fire Brigade, 10211 Grand Emporium, 10218 Pet Shop, and 10224 Town Hall as of 2012. Meanwhile, LEGO fans have adopted the “Cafe Corner standard” and built hundreds and hundreds of beautiful buildings that fit with the official sets. See some of the best here on The Brothers Brick.

News: LEGO Factory 10190 Market Street

LEGO.com has a page dedicated to an upcoming LEGO Factory set called 10190 Market Street. The photos are still very small, but this looks like it’s going to be a gorgeous set:

According to LEGO.com, the set was designed by LEGO fan Eric Brok, and the set is modular — various components of the set are interchangeable (as demonstrated in a Flash animation), and Market Street can be integrated with 10182 Cafe Corner.

I’ll post more information as it becomes available. (EDIT: Let’s bump this to the top.)

LEGO 10182 Cafe Corner speed build video

Yay! Two days ago I came home from PoliSci and found a rather large package from Connecticut waiting for me on the doorstep! I’m still busy taking detailed pictures and writing up a review, but in the meantime enjoy this time laspe video of me building the greatest LEGO set ever. Over three hours compressed into five and a half minutes.

News: Prototype Sets Shown at Fan Event in Germany

Remember when LEGO asked fans what kind of classic car we’d like to see in a collector’s set?

Well, LEGO Ambassador Stephen Sander announced on LUGNET (via Based on a True Story and How Many Studs to LEGOLAND?) that The LEGO Company displayed several prototypes at an event held in Frechen, Germany.

Ford Mustang:

Aston Martin:

Delorean:

(Note the fusion power thingie on the back, making this the car from Back to the Future. For licensing reasons, I doubt the production version will include this little detail, but it’s still very cool.)

Volkswagen (classic) Beetle:

Finally, here’s the text of an announcement about a completely new (potential) product line displayed at the event:

In April we will launch a big Modular Building. Product will be announced in Brick Journal March issue. What type of building would you like to see as a LEGO product? Which one of the buildings shown do you prefer?

Check out Stephen’s LUGNET announcement for links to all three pictures, but here’s my favorite, a hotel:
