2017 City Sets - Rumours and Discussion

[sebitsena]

I'm going to get this Pizza Van: it's cool and detailed.

For the second set, i don't know what to buy between the 4x4 with catamaran and the pick-up with quads. The pick-up is nice, but the catamaran is quite charming too. Which set do you prefer?

I really like the Catamaran. LEGO makes a SVU / Truck with quads every other year, there is nothing special, but that catamaran, very cool.

But I'll probably get both when I have the money.

Here's a new set, this image was found on LEGO's image servers which has hundreds of new pictures for 2017 sets. How to use it:

Is that supossed to be a robber?

Because she looks way too happy

[The Plastic Archer]

That's because she is getting away!

 

Why is the money transporter truck a police vehicle? How odd...

[Klaus-Dieter]

Thank you all very much for posting pictures, reviews and links!

Not absolutely odd: In general you're right that money, jewels and gold etc. are transported by private security companies in their vans. But at least here in Germany it's the case that large amounts of new printed banknotes are transported from the print office to huge banks by special and armored police trucks:

And imo - aside from that it's a bit too small, missing car doors and weird safes on the outside of the van - the money transfer does really look cool!

Btw: The massive police car in the bank robbery set seems to be designed after the following new, armored special vehicle for police forces:

I really do like the car in Lego, too - it only disturbs that there are no blue lights and mainly no blue stripe or "Police" sticker in the back (big, plain white car doors do look bad)!

Police money transfer, armored police car and police auto transport - these are really amazing vehicles which bring some variety in the otherwise sucked dry Police theme! Plus I really like special vehicles in all City subthemes! Keep on releasing more of these great sets, TLG!

Just built the Pizza Van, hands down one of the best Lego vehicles ever. 

Build tip: eat dinner beforehand. Even though I ate a rather large home-cooked meal prior to starting I was still craving a pizza.

Any pictures koalayummies? ^^

There has never been a single moment of my life in which I haven't been craving a pizza. 

[Vinny 33714]

the video of the survivor vehicle is a police version of the Bundeswehr dingo MRAP

I believe built by Rheinmetall

 

[lightningtiger]

Ah, so the city designers are using Germany to base their sets on ?

Interesting, hmm, I was originally not liking the money transporter but it's okay since 'K-D' explained the back story.

Our hopes are at NY Toy Fair time so we can see the second wave sets - fingers crossed it's a boom year not a bust.

Yes sir,

(note I put the wheels on the other way as I prefer the steel-wheel look on this model)

The front borrows from some other vehicles:

Here are your pizzas!

Hahaha. Now I don't feel so bad for wishing I was eating pizza continuously for the last 12 hours.

I won't say the Pizza van is something like "The best", but it's indeed a very good and innovative set.

[Lordofdragonss]

The only problem I have with this set is that it comes with ONE pizza slice (+ spare). I hoped  we will get a whole sliced pizza. At least Friends pizzeria comes with much more pizzas :D

Last year I ate a full pizza for lunch and a full pizza for dinner. In between that I ate a bowl of frozen custard, then went home later and ate a pint of Ben and Jerry's (ice cream). Couldn't sleep and at 2am went to the store and ate another pint. My friend went "How the hell can you all that and look so good?" I looked at him and went "I biked here, I biked him, I biked to store. I bike a minimum of 20-30 miles a day, I can eat whatever I want."

So if i want the friends hot dog truck and the pizza from the food truck I can and no one will guilt me! 

And LEGO really needs to make a CMF taco guy, then a taco piece so we can get a taco truck too. 

[jonwil]

I suspect http://brickset.com/sets/71004-12/Taco-Tuesday-Guy  is as close as we are going to get to a taco guy :)

Pizza (and hot dogs) are a lot more popular with kids in all of TLGs markets (Europe in particular) than tacos.

 

[Amazing Bricks]

The pizza van cook has back printing! This is the first time I've seen that, they finally updated the chef torso.

[makoy]

It's about time they put more details to City minifigures.

Excuse me if I missed it but are there any rumour regarding 2017's large scale vehicle and landmark (i.e. 2016's Big Ben/Beetle)?

There isn't a landmark building like 10253 every year; they only come along every three years or so. But to answer your question more generally, no, and they wouldn't be in the City forum if there were.

I want a guy in a taco suit like we had the banana suit guy.  Not just some guy selling tacos. :)
