August 10, 20168 yr LCPD is overpowered lego city is literally police state, so everybody is afraid . This made me laugh, but still - there are lots of common burglars, why not add some punks or just riots? This will make some diversity in City sets.
August 10, 20168 yr Author Thank you very much for the information, legomilk! A new Police theme was to await. Do you think that "more boats" means only 60147 and another boat in the Great Vehicles theme - or a whole Harbor theme (in addition) (which is since long overdue since the last harbor theme was back in 2011)? When we take "ambulance" literally, this would be only one ambulance. But could it even be a whole ambulance / hospital theme with the since long awaited hospital, a rescue helicopter and a doctor's car? [N]ow what will this police wave be about? For sure a regular police theme like every three years (2008-2011-2014-2017-...). Nevertheless I hope that TLG will include something new and interesting and not only the redundant stuff. A new bank or a jeweler's shop would be highly welcome. One of the minifigures seems like beeing a coach, maybe we will get sports related sets next year? The left minifigure of the three is indeed the Sport Fishing Boat's captain, the minifigure on the right is a female construction site worker. I bet that the one in the middle is either a racing car driver or a motorcyclist - why should he wear a helmet otherwise?! Klaus-Dieter Edited August 10, 20168 yr by Klaus-Dieter
August 10, 20168 yr I really... really... like that fishing boat! Considering I'm planning a marina scene for my Gold Coast Railroad Museum layout, this will pan out real well. Looking forward to what comes next.

I bet that the one in the middle is either a racing car driver or a motorcyclist - why should he wear a helmet otherwise?! Klaus-Dieter Im starting to think that the 3 minifig faces in the corner are all actually from the same city sub theme ie Harbour/water related as one is already from the boat shown. I reckon the helmet fig is a speed/racing boat driver as we've had these type of boats in the past harbour themes and the female in construction style clothing is a worker from the harbour. Just my take on it.
August 11, 20168 yr I really like the boat build, but I already have all the fishes and shark. Though I'm happy to see goldfish are becoming common. :D
August 11, 20168 yr Ambulance, eh? Well. I hope that's a full theme. Harbor sounds nice... hope the big set is actually a large thing, the 2006 one had this ginormous boat that's never reappeared. Also, another Container Stacker would be fantastic... that was a 2007 set I really regret missing out on, so a similar thing would be nice.
August 11, 20168 yr Would aerial police work? Copters or something What haven't they done? Maybe more night police like the museum break-in set. Plot twist: Those are undercover cops in that fishing set
August 11, 20168 yr The police sets for 2017 will be water Police, they haven't done that. Then there will be ice police as LEGO City gets frozen, then there will be volcano police to thaw the ice. I mean it's only logical.

August 11, 20168 yr Yep, it looks like my idea about police handling trouble on the ice and going to space are necessary for next year.
August 11, 20168 yr Yep, it looks like my idea about police handling trouble on the ice and going to space are necessary for next year. I can see it already: The name "Space Police" shows up in leaked set lists and Space fans get all excited just for it to be regular cops in space helmets driving around in cars with wings.
August 11, 20168 yr Love the boat, very smart looking however the piece count in city sets seems to be falling year on year, doesn't look to me like the piece count on this will be very high at all. An ambulance would be nice, something city desperately need to do is move into some new "careers" for the minifgs who live there, unless you want to be a cop or a water fairy then there's not lot left for you to do. City is long overdue a hospital, and with that the harbor theme and construction (I know we had demolition recently) are also in desperate need of a return and revamp, along with some nice new buildings to populate the city, things are looking a little sparse to say the least unless you include the creator building and modulars. Here's to hoping 2017 will give us something with a little more varietal!!!
August 12, 20168 yr Love the boat, very smart looking however the piece count in city sets seems to be falling year on year, doesn't look to me like the piece count on this will be very high at all. I agree and I find this a quite concerning trend in recent years. Sets like the Service Station 60132 are really shocking. 90 USD for 500 pieces. And it doesn't even look particularly glorious. Another trend I noticed is that, for example with the recently released planes, that they look too simplified and "stubby". On top of that a lot of large pieces have been used for fuselage and wings, where its not really needed. This said, the low end with starter sets is very reasonably priced, but with many other sets I often miss a decent value for the money they want.
August 12, 20168 yr January names! These are not final and prices may be inaccurate. Some are missing like the ambulance. 60135 [Gangster squad] - 5.99 60138 Police Chase - 29.99 60144 Sports Plane - 9.99 Money Truck - 14.99 Beach Buggy - 9.99 Monster Truck - 9.99 60147 Fishing Boat - 19.99 Truck with Catamaran - 19.99 Truck with Quads - 19.99 Pizza Van - 19.99 (Figured out your avatar, TB!) Dragster Transport - 29.99 Street Sweeper and Truck - 29.99 Mobile Police Truck - 39.99 Police Starter Set - 9.99 Inevitable Police Station - 99.99 Bank Robbery - 59.99 Service Truck Heist - 19.99 Enjoy
August 12, 20168 yr Inevitable Police Station - 99.99 Thats going to be the official name, right? The list looks quite appealing with a number of leisure/city life sets. Of course there is this big focus on law enforcement department, but ok, kids want to play police and robbers. Its their toy after all And the money truck sounds like a fun thing to have anyway, to be honest. ...or is it just the preferences of my Avatar talking here?
August 12, 20168 yr Money truck sounds interesting. Maybe it would go well with the Brick Bank. Also possibly interested in the Pizza van. No medical sets? Hmmmm
August 12, 20168 yr 60135 [Gangster squad] - 5.99 Excited for the Pizza Van as well, but I might have to pick this one up from the name alone.
August 12, 20168 yr January names! These are not final and prices may be inaccurate. Some are missing like the ambulance.
August 12, 20168 yr Oooooh. Money (armoured / bank?) truck and pizza (delivery?) van sound good. As does the ambulance! Should we be getting hints for 2017 Creator soon? I hope we see some larger sets like Bike Shop and Café and Model Town House / House.
