The Modular Era is Over — And That's Exactly Why It's About to Get Interesting
After 18 years, the modular buildings line has grown predictable. But the data says something surprising is coming.
When the Corner Garage launched in 2007, nobody called it a 'modular'. It was just a building set with a clever footprint. Eighteen years and twenty-three releases later, the line has a canon, a community, and a secondary market that treats retired sets like municipal bonds. But look at the release cadence, the part reuse patterns, and the designer interviews from the past two years, and a different story emerges — one where LEGO is quietly dismantling the formula it spent two decades perfecting.
“The secondary market doesn't lie: when Detective's Office hit $600, LEGO noticed.”
