EDIT: This set and quite a few others are available tonight. January 1, 2016 See here.
Here is a list of the most sought after sets that are being released tonight at 12:00 EST.
I am seeing reports of the following Modular coming in 2015. They are all over Facebook. I am hearing that this set will be released at 6:00 AM EST on Monday. Here are a few key links that are posting this information.]
EDIT: It looks like this set was just officially announced at BricKorea fan event in South Korea – I just found this over here on Brickset.
Here is an interesting tidbit found by Adeel Zubair on the AFOL Facebook page. This set is designed by Jamie Berard.
here is a video showing the unveiling by Jan Beyer

Here are all of the official images now that this has been released. Lego and everyone else have posted them up.
Here is an image posted here. I think it may be the real image. I am not sure. I think it may be. They are claiming $169.00 US. I cannot figure out how to link to Facebook images. Wordpress needs to fix this.
Here is a link to the image just posted on Eurobricks. They have it from another source.
Here is the post on Eurobricks.
This appears to be the link to the complimentary Polybag that will go with this Modular.
Here is a video from the Brick Show
To be fair, this is how I found this information. I saw the post to this polybag over on reddit. Then I saw info on Eurobricks, TheBrickfan and Brickset that indicated that this Polybag went with 10251 the new Modular. I then searched Facebook for the new Modular set and the images of the set were everywhere.
EDIT: Big day for news. It looks like a bunch of Star Wars and Creator set images were also put on the Lego Site this morning.
And the Super Hero Sets here…
I imagine that it will be similiar to the detective office and Pet Shop and look something like this set here which you can see over on Flickr. After seeing the real image, it looks like this may be a little to many pieces to be realistic.
“The set will be presented on Monday, it contains 2380 pieces and MSRP in France will be 150-160 Euros
It is a corner building, mainly white and grey with sand green windows with a lot of ornaments/details on the facade. It is a Bank with a laundromat next to it.
Inside there is a counter/desk, a safe, offices and a ventilation shaft (useful for robberies..)
There is a lot of detail, looks massive and might look a bit austere/stern
There are 2 levels:
Ground floor, a nice entrance (8 wide) with windows and has superb ornaments on top (Angel wings, micro fig, wolverines claws..). There are some “shop” windows on the left and right of the entrance. The posts are with grey steel bars, to look like a stone facade. There are lamps on the walls and flowers in front of the “shop” windows and a tree not looking ridiculous on the walkway.
On the other side (90 degrees from the 1st one), there are 2 “shop” windows (4 wide each, plus 3 pillars 2 wide, so 14 wide), the rest of the length is used for the laundromat. There is a bench and a street lamp on this part of the walkway.
The higher floor has big columns (2×2 rounded and striped), big sand green windows, rounded on the top with the new rounded windows – 4 wide. The top of the floor moulding is very detailed and nice
On the roof, there is a veranda in bow window style like on Green Grocer where you can see inside the bank. There is a standard office (lamp, writing machine..), and the director’s office, much more detailed (Paintings, dark green walls, nice desk..) A bit like the billiard room in the DO.
Note: The use of Nexo Knights shields to make the tiled floor more detailed (45 degrees points)”

I did NOT design this set. It’s a wonderful addition to the Modular Series, designed by the creator of the series himsefl: Jamie Berard. The signature on the check ain’t mine either. I don’t know whose it is suppose to be though. Please correct the information on your post.
Thank you for letting me know. I am sorry about he mistake and it has been corrected. I picked up that information from a post on Facebook. Thanks!
