I don't know about sooner, but I do regret not buy that battered box of the UCS X-wing in the Toys_R-Us clearance isle for $90.00. I was thinking..."ugh It could have leaked some parts, and only 10% off? I'll Pass."

I was in dark age for many years until last year. I remember during this years I passed by TRUs, I saw that the sets 7785-1: Arkham Asylum and 7783-1: The Batcave: The Penguin and Mr. Freeze's Invasion were all 50% off. However, I didn't pick them up.

Nowaday, the price of all batman stuff are skyrocketing. I believe that I might not be able to collect all of them. I was glad that I got two small sets of batman lego as a gift during the dark age, and luckily I did not sell them at ebay.

Very good speculation is that they have at least one more in the works; wild speculation is that it is post office.
:)
Seeing as how popular those modular sets are I can not imagine that they are going to stop making those anytime soon.
The reason people think the next one is a post office is because of the following:
The Green Grocer had a Fire hydrant sitting outside -> Next set was the Fire Brigade
The Emporium has a mailbox in front of it -> people assume the next one is a mail office.
Just to clarify. the order they came out was

Cafe Corner
Green Grocer
Fire Brigade
Grand Emporium

I broke down and ordered a complete set of the first series of collectible minifigures three days ago, about $3.50/fig. I was super excited since I ordered them Sunday I would probably get them by the end of the week...They shipped by USPS...ETA: September 14th. What the hell...

Glad, GLAD i got the UCS MF for 300$ at the lego outlet. :-D almost bought 2 of them but it too bulky to walk in the mall with.

What was on the fire brigade that implied emporium?
I have inoperable cancer and am unable to work. Any gifts would be appreciated. Thank you!

As far as I know nothing, neither did the cafe corner have anything to predict the green grocer. My argument was to explain that I do not think the next one will be a mail office.

You forgot the short lived Market Street 10190, between Cafe Corner and Green Grocer. I'm glad to have a copy, given what it is going for nowadays.

You are correct, I had completely forgotten about that one. I rejoined the hobby too late to get that one at a decent price.

market street? never seen it at the store. I don't know if I consider that a Lego set since it was made by a fan. You don't see it in their catalog or when they show all the building together. But dang is it expensive on the secondary market.
