Klaus-Dieter Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Hello everybody! I know that 2011 firstly began. Nevertheless it's never to early to discuss possible future sets. (Only for explanation: I created a new topic since the topic title of this topic firstly indicates that there'll be a new fire truck in 2012 (for which we haven't got any information yet - and which is btw absolutely unrealistic anyway) and secondly there are wishes posted. But this topic shall be more there for realistic specualtions than for unrealistic set wishes. For set wishes there is the "Ideas for new City sets" topic.) am(b)ulance and hospital and work vehicles in 2012 (source: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51522&st=0) Many thanks to legomilk for this information! He has never been wrong before, so we can hundred percently trust him. It was sure that in 2012 we'll again see a Construction Site subtheme. But does legomilk with "work vehicles" possibly mean that there won't be a construction site itself, but only working vehicles? Of course there has to come some building with them. So what about a new Public Works Center since TLG is at bringing back sets from the 80s and 90s in updated style? Imo that would be amazing and finally be something different than always only a house which is built up by a crane. I really hope that TLG will offer us a new garbage truck with car doors and the new trans-black bus window (from 7641). The last one was released in 2007 and isn't still available. So it's really time for a new one. It even was sure that we'll get some sort of Rescue theme in 2012. And I even was going for a Hospital subtheme. But CG would have been possible and mountain rescue, too. So it's great to have confirmation that it'll be a Hospital theme! I'd go for a hospital with ambulance as main set, a rescue helicopter as medium sized set and a different ambulance and a doctor's car as small set. What do you think? I'm really hoping that the new hospital will be much bigger than the one from 2006, that it'll include a decent and detailed interior (not such a shameful interior like in the new police station) and that a new minifigure will be released in this set - a surgeon. The rescue helicopter should have some interior, too, and not only the cockpit and a stretcher. The same goes for the ambulance. Could you, too, imagine that TLG pushes the Working Vehicles subtheme backwards to April in order to give us a huger number of Hospital sets - so that we even could get a mountain rescue set etc.? Imo that would be brilliant! Which concerns the rest of the year, I could well imagine that we'll see: One or two smaller Farm set(s) including mainly animals are very likely (goats and chicken from the Kingdoms theme!). But I even hope that a new agriculutural vehicle (different to a new tractor) and a small house will be included in there. I wouldn't count on a farm house - imo that's too unrealistic to get (since TLG would surely have included it in the main set if they wanted to release one). A Zoo theme for the summer wave doesn't lay too far off since it's that demanded. I could imagine a main set, a medium sized set, a vehicle and a small set. As far as for possible Exclusives: I must admit that I really have no clue there since it could be nearly everything. If the January Exclusive was from the City theme, I'd go for a new Town Plan style set with post office, cafe and Lego Store. But even a hotel, a grocery and a not-Winter-styled bakery are imo not unlikely. A mall, new cargo center, truck stop, elevated train, school and pleasure cruiser are much in demand. Plus the last gas station was released in 2007 (if you don't count the one in 10184 in the year 2008) which isn't still availabe. Consequently a new gas station (either as exclusive of as regular set) is imo very likely, too (esp. since we got hte fuel truck last year). So it's really difficult to say. What do you think?

lightningtiger Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Okay, I'll start it off.....I found this picture on Flickr of a city scene in a Legoland in Germany, look carefully for the construction vehicles.....including a realistic dozer ! Link to Flickr photo Lets see what else pops up eh ? Keep on wishing everyone !
Jargo Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Truck stop. There's been a lot of trucks released recently so a truck stop seems logical, with a small Octan filling station and cafe for truckers. Public works depot. Gritting truck and road maintainance truck, office and yard. Snow plough. All this winter village stuff means it snows in Legoland so they'll be needing a plough to clear the roads. Telecoms repair truck. Hasn't been a Telecoms vehicle for a long time so why not now? Is the town/city to do without broadband? lots of computers, (strangely just monitors and keyboards and no system box...), a modern town/city needs good telecommunications. Hospital. I can see a set similarly sized to the new police station. Ambulance bay, reception area and wards. I doubt there'd be an operating room but we can hope. A larger ambulance than the last one. Paramedic car and fast response motorbike. A helicoptor is possible similar to the police and fire ones but hopefully the hospital doesn't have a helipad. those helicoptors are too big for roof landings. I don't think we'll see a zoo. Not in the main city theme. Possibly it could work as a girls theme. I'd rather Lego went with zoo for girls instead of some pink and fluffy gender stereotyping home-maker style stuff or ponies and flowers. I also don't think there will be farm sets as such. I think we'll see farm additions in other ways such as the animals in the Kingdoms sets and the farmer in the Alien conquest set. Or advent calenders/minifig collections/collectible minifigs/creator sets. There's bound to be a house of some sort. Maybe apartments. 16x8 footprint and modular. Probably more cars. Undoubtedly red and yellow but I can hope for any other colour than those. It would be nice to see a car dealership building with various cars and a complimentary car transporter set. Something that's a bit more of a personal wish is a skate/BMX bike park. Brand new BMX bicycle, cool minifigs, decent designs on skateboards and good use of curved pieces for half pipes, ramps and mounds. that's all I got for now.
lightningtiger Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 A truck stop and a teleco repair vehicle would be good ideas for sets and would flow nicely with the past farm, transport and soon-to-be harbour sets.....a rural seaside port with road and rail transport ! Goodness, we all still hope for more shops......but a new hospital....well lets hope it's better than the last one......meh ! Brick On Everyone !
Dragonator Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Right... So, this is just an unfounded wishing topic? Maybe when we have some real information about 2012 sets a topic would be appropriate, but until then, I see no point in making up stuff, there is a thread for that already. Topic closed.
