August 1, 20159 yr Remember, on the original Brick Picker list, Ferry is a seperate set from Fire Response Unit, and Tire Escape is a seperate set from Fire Starter Set. Oh... that makes a lot of sense Overall, the City 2016 sets sounds like a pretty generic City line-up, with the exception of Prison Island
August 1, 20159 yr Well there's a turn up for the books, meh ! Seriously, pretty boring except for a prison island.......hmm, sounds interesting and yet, where is that garage ? Let me guess it's a flaming store exclusive.......I'll bet on that !
August 1, 20159 yr Drivel time! s r I am sorely, deeply, utterly disappointed by this set. No suspension, useless driver and crew (it's not driving), probably would look uninspiring, shoddily-built and lack wide fenders, opening doors, or even an engine bay. TLG might as well just stop selling City GV sets anymore. What's the use? /s /r You're talking sarcastically, right? Edited August 1, 20159 yr by ilikeboomerang1
August 2, 20159 yr You're talking sarcastically, right? See the /s in the end. Yes, that was sarcasm. No, I am neither scared nor am Nostradamus.
August 2, 20159 yr Generally I find it hard to evaluate the greatness of a set based on the title alone. Need to see some pics, and then I will probably add my five cents :)
August 2, 20159 yr Pretty boring and generic the sets again , with the exception of the prison island . I'm kind of curious about the ambulance plane , how would they make that ?
August 2, 20159 yr Author I'm kind of curious about the ambulance plane , how would they make that ? They have done a couple in the past.
August 2, 20159 yr ? LEGO City Fire ATV LEGO City Tire Escape Fire Starter Set LEGO City Rally Car LEGO City Race Boat LEGO City Prison Starter Set LEGO City 4 X4 Off Roader LEGO City Ambulance Plane LEGO City Van & Caravan LEGO City Garbage Truck LEGO City Fire Ladder Truck LEGO City Police Pursuit LEGO City Ferry Fire Response Unit LEGO City Police Patrol Boat LEGO City Fire Boat LEGO City Prison Island LEGO City Fire Station I'm very curious about that ambulance plane. I'm wondering what that would be? I only saw one classic plane and it appears to be never released. i don't even think those things even exist. maybe in some extreme places but here in Holland, nope. and I like vans so something like a van & caravan could be nice! but again new fire trucks?! what do they expect. we make more fire trucks because we can? i don't have many myself so I don't mind some extras. but looking at how many were released I think LEGO expects us to have more fires then people...
August 2, 20159 yr Funny thing, no fire station ? Five fire sets and no station house......plus no helicopters neither ? This is going to be an odd first wave to almost any year of City. Edited August 2, 20159 yr by lightningtiger
August 3, 20159 yr Very excited to see what these new sets will look like. I was surprised to see a new fire boat as they did one in 2013 and it wasn't a big seller. Thankfully I got one! I like the odd non popular sets as they are unique that way. The ambulance plane and ferry rescue boat sound cool and the mysterious prison island. I wonder if the ferry boat will be the size of a car ferry? Edited August 3, 20159 yr by Wodanis
August 3, 20159 yr and yet, where is that garage ? Let me guess it's a flaming store exclusive.......I'll bet on that ! No, I bet that it'll be a regular sold set - but firstly in the 2nd half of 2016 (since legomilk posted all subthemes for 2016). Possibly even a / the 170-Euros set like 60097. So I even would count on a parking garage and not (only) a Garage. I hope that it will look more decent than the version from 2012 and that there won't be only the parking garage included, but even an additional building - at the best a skateboard shop, a hardware store, a mulitmedia store or a cafe / bakery. They have done a couple in the past. I fear that the Ambulance Plane will be the size of the third version since I count on it being 20-30 Euros because of it being parts of the Great Vehicles theme (in which the highest price per set has been being 30 Euros) Klaus-Dieter Edited August 3, 20159 yr by Klaus-Dieter
August 4, 20159 yr Funny thing, no fire station ? Five fire sets and no station house......plus no helicopters neither ? This is going to be an odd first wave to almost any year of City. I would imagine that the Ferry Fire Response Unit is helicopter based so the firefighters get a quick response and are winched aboard like the MIRG are here in the uk
August 4, 20159 yr I would imagine that the Ferry Fire Response Unit is helicopter based so the firefighters get a quick response and are winched aboard like the MIRG are here in the uk I imagine something like 6743 Res-Q Cruiser - a fireboat being able to carry one or two fire trucks :-| . Of course I would be happy to be proven wrong ;). A proper Lego city ferry would be great. Edited August 4, 20159 yr by marv
August 4, 20159 yr There is no "Ferry Fire Response Unit." They are two separate sets - a Ferry and a Fire Response Unit - that got put on the same line of the leaked set list accidentally. Edited August 4, 20159 yr by polarscribe
August 4, 20159 yr Cool! A better ferry then. Can't have too much public transport. Edited August 4, 20159 yr by dr_sarcophagus
August 5, 20159 yr I hope we'll get the official names of these soon.... Some could sound a lot better Edited August 5, 20159 yr by Robert8
August 5, 20159 yr Guys, what do you think of the new Starter Sets they're doing? Do you think it's a good idea?
August 5, 20159 yr I like the smaller starter sets (10€); 4 figs, and something to do with them. I'm not into the larger sets (25€); I bought the old one when it was 50% off (who wouldn't?), and wait for it to happen to the new one.
August 5, 20159 yr I think the (current) starter sets offer a good price-to-value, even more with an additional discount. Last week I saw the older ones at a local toystore for €7,5, which is a good deal for Belgian standards I think. Even the newer ones (space/diving) are good at €9,9. They make the polybags look expensive though. I'd like to see newer starter sets offer the same flexibility as the (de)construction one. I purchased two of those because the minifig torsos, legs and headpieces can be used in lots of believable combinations.

August 5, 20159 yr About to post the 2016 sets... 60106 Fire Starter Set 60116 Rescue Aircraft 60109 Fire Boat 60115 4 Wheel Drive SUV 60127 Prison Island Starter Set (welp) 60118 Garbage Collection (Truck?) 60111 Firefighting Vehicle 60114 Speedboat 60117 Vans and Caravans 60113 Rally Car 60129 Police Patrol Boat 60107 Fire Engine with Movable Ladder 60119 Ferry 60108 Fire Extinguishing Unit 60128 Police Chase Version 24697 Thanks! Let's see:The Fire Starter Set would seem to be quite like this year's: a vehicle, four figs and something in fire. I think this is what rescue was in the list we got some weeks ago. It doesn't sound that good. A fire boat. It would be much better if it was a boat IN fire, not a boat OF fire. The SUV sounds good. I hope it's a civilian SUV, not a firefighting one. I retract what I said in the other post. The PI will be one of the cheapest. I hope that for the second half of 2016 they will release an ACTUAL island. The Garbage Collecting Truck sounds good. I wonder what that vehicle will be. When did they do the last speedboat not in a transporter set anyway? So it's a collection of vans and trailers? 3 different vans and caravans, anyone? I already have the Racecar, so I hope it's different. It'll probably be. Didn't they make a police boat last year? Sorry guys, it has a ladder. I hope the ferry is like those real life ones where they don't transport cars, but people. So I want it to be 6 figs (5 civilians and the ferry driver) and a little monument of sorts. This one seems to be like the starter set, but with a larger car, and maybe a larger ''thing in fire'', like a house. So they'll make two versions of it, or what?

August 6, 20159 yr Another garbage truck.....at least Lego city will be clean eh ? Now a ferry sounds like the best of the bunch and my guess is it will be a car ferry.
