The Beetlejuice house is wonderful. The outside of the house is already striking, it's actually the interior that really shines, as not only does it show the main rooms in the realm of the living in the movie, but also scenes for the "supernatural" realm as well. And you can't go wrong with the characters.
The swamp hideout is definitely a fun one, I see kilotons of potential with it. The lake house contains almost as much potential, though the relatively small size of the house might take a bit away from potential playability, having a smaller footprint and being only two story instead of three. The Egyptian temple one is a nice update to the classic Lego Egyptian theme, and it's amazing how they've incorporated the same folding setup as some of the Lego Castle sets, especially the Yellow and Lion Knights Castle. And you can't beat all the interior detailing if ancient Egypt is your thing.
Lego really do send mixed signals. Of the ones highlighted the circus is by far my favourite, but in the past Lego have specified no circuses, aquariums or zoos. I get that there are no animals in the circus but I still cant see Lego risking it since they have decided to take that stance. Also I suppose the idea of a traditional "modular" getting chosen at all seems unlikely because it hasn't happened yet and a good 20% of submissions are made as part of the modular system.
I really like the style of buildings made by the builder (ModularManiac I believe) that did Takeshi Townhouse and Makoto Markets, they are so appealing to me.
Hideout in the swamp is suuuuuper cool, but I'm confused why it's considered a modular, it doesn't look like it would fit in a modular city at all. Maybe I'm missing something specific about the format. I love the building on the Korean Tea House, but the baseplate is pretty empty and flat to me, I wish there was more there. Just too many areas that are nothing but flat tiles. Lake house is gorgeous. Wish there were more shots of the interior, it's hard to see what's going on inside. I like the Return To Egypt idea but again not sure how it would be considered a modular building or fit under that umbrella 🤔
It’s not a modular like the icons line that will connect in a city street layout but it is a modular building which, whether you want for standalone display or to put in a wider setup so it can be on its own then looks pretty awesome
I feel like the term "modular" is getting real overused. I would consider a number of these to be just buildings, not modulars, since they are not designed to be connected to others. If you break it down to "anything that is made in modules", then, well, isn't that nearly every set?
Sorry but that’s wrong. You’re talking about a specific ‘icons’ style modular. A modular build is any that comes apart in sections. These are all modular buildings
@@Stud-Lord That was my second point - doesn't that make most every building (and vehicle) modular then, since most have removable roofs? That is how the Korean Tea House is, just a removable roof. Looking closer at the Beetlejuice house, it doesn't look like it comes apart at all. It opens doll house style, and appears to have a roof that can be raised up. I hope it doesn't come off like I'm coming after you or anything, I'm just saying that since the modular series has gotten popular, people have been using it for anything and everything to the point where is has lost all meaning.
@AlexOvTheAbyss it’s a fair question for clarification, and I understand what you mean, but that’s what a modular is under Lego’s own guidelines. It is more than the roof as different rooms come apart but even a plane with removable sections is modular. But certainly only a few are the icons style connectable modular that fits to others, true. But overall yeah a modular is what Lego themselves class it as
I don't see the Japanese house as all that suitable for most existing Lego Modular layouts as the Japanese architecture would clash with the overwhelming Victorian and Edwardian styles of Americana. It's more suitable for the Lego Ninjago line. That said, the Japanese townhouse is beautiful.

They all are so creative but the two that caught my eye were the Egyptian themed one and the swamp hideout. Beautiful and original.
Absolutely agree. Those two were my favourites too.
Both really intriguing sets that do stand out

I really want that circus tent!

Just give me any Discworld Lego merch, please. The Post office is great as is the Bandit hideout!
Some really good ideas in this list but for me the Circus is the one that’s stands out.
It’s an awesome idea

@@Stud-Lord Makes sense, thanks!
And with the Oriental themed sets, you could start a Japanese district, the Japanese version of a Chinatown if you will.
@@Libertaro-i2u Yeah, that'd be cool!!
Love that swamp hideout!
It’s awesome
The Gremlins 40th Anniversary set is amazing. I Wish they'd choose that 🙏
It’s a great submission and deserves to be done
If apple see that it's going to be over a thousand dollars for usa markets uk will probably be more
And bring out a new version every 6 months with a slight brick change and price increase 😂

The Circus set is fab and could be placed with the otehr fairground sets they have done.
It looks really good
Supported the Lake House and Swamp Hideout - such original designs!
Both really cool

2:20 - A two story Apple store?
Some of these are so brilliant. Thanks for another great video
Glad you like them!
Love the Ninjago…er… Tekeshi townhouse
