Talk:Lego Modular Buildings

Pictures
The lone picture in the article is a relatively "unflatering" picture of Cafe Corner. If anyone has a better pricture of Cafe Corner or any other sets in the series, we should add/replace them in the article. I'll be trying to take better pictures of the sets later if no one provides better pictures. --SkotywaTalk 23:00, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded a newer, better picture, but still, I'm no digital image master. This is better but if anyone has a better picture, please feel free to suggest an update. --SkotywaTalk 06:14, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

I think this article would benefit from individual pictures of each set. It certainly needs a picture of the Fire Brigade. Thanks,--T20a1h5u23 (talk) 23:04, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

If there are no objections, I think I will start adding Lego's official images of the sets. I plan to use the box images, but if anyone thinks I should use any other image, please contact me. Thanks,--T20a1h5u23 (talk) 03:52, 16 May 2010 (UTC)


 * What happened to the images. I think this article would be much improved if there were images of each set, but the rules about images and copyright confuse me no end.  If I take a photo of my sets and add them, would that be "legal?" -ErinHowarth (talk) 08:52, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Good Article Nomination
Since early December, I've put some effort into creating (what I believe to be) a well formed, well referenced article on an interesting grouping of Lego products. My hope is to provide a "good" example of a Wikipedia article on something to do with Lego since most of the Lego related articles have turned into laundry lists of Lego sets rather than approaching encyclopedic content. At this time I have depleated all known resources to further improve the article (maybe one more picture though) so I'm going to give it a shot to get it promoted to a Good Article. One can dream! --SkotywaTalk 05:52, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Sold Out
Market street is sold out in the lego shop. can someone rework that sentence that says they are all avilible? Thanks, --T20a1h5u23 (talk) 22:53, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I just removed the sentence altogether. It sounded like some marketing sales pitch anyway and didn't belong. --SkotyWATalk|Contribs 08:31, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Removed original research
I've removed the paragraph about the reception of the Fire Brigade set because it appeared to be original research. While there were many sources cited, none of them drew the conclusions being claimed in the article prose, specifically that AFOLs first reject new sets and then later embrace them. It may be true that on news groups there are comments that appear to be a mixed reaction to the set, and then there are other comments (possibly later) that show more acceptance, but unless a source can be provided that draws this conclusion, it is not acceptable to arrive at this conclusion on Wikipedia. Another problem with the sources in this paragraph were that most of them are examples of self published sources which are largely not acceptable on Wikipedia. If you disagree with the points I'm making, please lets discuss. I'm certainly open to other's point of view, my only goal here is to keep the article encyclopedic in nature. --SkotyWATalk|Contribs 03:58, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

mid vail (talk) 22:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)midvailmid vail (talk) 22:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC) I tried changing this again, I hope you like it more. It is less opinionated and more factual. I love that you are quite sweet and I am SO excited for this set, I made it more positive. The only part I would like to include yet I have not because it is not 100% factual, yet accurate, is the fact that it may foreshadow more unique buildings, for they made a Grocer, and now a fire house, so I feel that garnering all of the feedback from the community this is true. I hope you take a look at this and see I made it much more factual. I would like to work with you on getting this perfect. mid vail (talk) 22:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)midvailmid vail (talk) 22:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Title needs to be changed!
The title to the article needs to be changed from "Lego Modular Houses" to "Lego Modular Buildings" This would need the article to be moved! (I don't know how to do this) Also these two images should be used to update the Image which is out of date! Picture of CC,GG,FB Picture of GE,PS,TH

Someone with knowledge on how this is done please edit! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.205.100.252 (talk) 10:14, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Agree. And I also am not able to do it. But nobody calls them anything but "Modular Buildings" - I cannot even guess where "Modular Houses" came from. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.78.238 (talk) 05:58, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Moved to "Lego Modular Buildings"
I moved this to Lego Modular Buildings" as per request. For the record this is what LEGO also refers to them (ie the search for "modular buildings" give all of them) As well as brickset, and the lego wikia.

Case in point the description from http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Grand-Emporium-10211: "The LEGO® Modular Buildings series continues with this spectacularly detailed..." --CatCat (talk) 17:33, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Lego Modular Buildings
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lego Modular Buildings's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "sets": From Lego Fusion:  From Lego Adventurers:  From Lego Monster Fighters:  From Ben 10: Alien Force:  From Lego DOTS:  

Reference named "PRNewswire": From Lego Monster Fighters:  From Lego Fusion: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:22, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Modular-allowed buildings
Some modular buildings are not designed specifically for a modular series, but come with bases that allow them to be connected with other modular buildings. One example of this is the Daily Bugle set. 2603:7081:1C46:4000:C15F:6837:CCB6:B582 (talk) 20:29, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Ninjago and Marvel modulars
Shouldn't this article at least mention the Ninjago City line of sets as well as Daily Bugle/Sanctum Sanctorum Marvel sets? While not officially modulars or under the Creator/Icons line, they're explicitly meant to be compatible (using the same system of technic pins to attach them) and share many building techniques.
