The Island Chronicles Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Speaking of tow trucks, I also remember coming up with a follow up to the towing subtheme from 2009. Only expending it a little by including vehicles for them to tow, similar to 60081. My ideas for a towing subtheme would be; A light duty tow truck (similar to 7638) with a small 6 stud wide sedan. A heavy wrecker with a big truck A flatbed tow truck like the one from 2013 with a broken down motorcycle. A towing barge with broken down civilian boat - though that could also work under coast guard. An aircraft transport with a helicopter that needs repair. Just because there has to be a helicopter. Grrr! I remember the one they had in 2009. A road rescue garage as the base set. Instead of a tow truck, the vehicle included is a roadside assistance car for the boss. Quote

If they launched a TV subtheme, these are my guesses: Just a small motorcycle with a reporter A small TV car with reporter and camera man A TV Heli and motorcycle TV Mobile Unit (huge truck, with reporters, cameras, a generator, ...) like for shows TV Studio/HQ with a studio (ofc), cars, vans, generators, huge satelite dishes, and lots of minifigs For a Medical subtheme, I'd go for: A small doctor car with a medic Ambulance Emergency Heli with motorcycle Hospital with doc car, small heli, ... Huge crash (like what they did with downtown fire brigade as main fire set) with ambulances, police, fire dept, ... And for some general city sets, it would be cool: Town Hall Central Park Bank Mail Post School Cafe, Restaurants, ... Quote

Maybe TV subtheme would be a good opportunity to utilize the TV 6+ company in Lego City. I also love your ideas for a medical subtheme. I would also add some type of mobile medical unit similar to this vehicle. Your general town sets ideas are good too. I don't speak for anyone else, but the town hall was all i wanted 60271 for. That and the tram. Don't really need the other subject matter. I'm still waiting for a school building and a post office too. Guess we'll have to do our best MOCs of those types of buildings until Lego sees fit to give us one from City. Quote

The huge crash is just an idea to have a set with all major subthemes (Police, Med and Fire) but it can be other thing or even nothing Quote

Plus City doesn't really do sets like that unless it's a city booster set like 60271. Quote

Oh, and it could also have a TV Van I used to crash my Lego planes all the time, by dropping them! Some of my old wing pieces are dented. For a more realistic emergency, I would add fire pieces to the new family house, with the family still inside! Quote

Let’s not forget about science/museum sets! Digging site with fossils and a truck Ruined jungle temple with cursed object and off-road vehicle Egyptian tomb with a coffin that contains mummy and a statue of Anubis Underwater ruin and a statue of Poseidon Museum (it’s where we can fill it with small sets I mentioned above) I just think it’s cool to have some paleonotogical/archaeological/scientific sets would be cool. Of course museum would come with a crook to steal valuable objects. Quote

Of course museum would come with a crook to steal valuable objects. These along with a medical subtheme, TV subtheme and towing subtheme would make the perfect summer wave. How about a postal service subtheme with those. Express Delivery - includes mail van (recolored bank truck from 60169), mail box and pallet with mail and parcels. Highway Postal Haul - includes long yellow truck with 3 pallets of parcels Air Mail - includes jumbo jet with pallets, forklift and control tower Post Office - includes post office building and mail car - they actually had those in my old town.

Inspecter Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 For a Postal Service sub-theme, let's not forget to have an aeromail autogyro of course. Quote

I don't think they understand that 1/3 of adults, 60-70 million people, don't have enough money for food or rent in the USA. So good time to increase the prices. But now the are somewhat the same price in Europe and the USA. I don't know about Aussie pricing Australian prices from Lego are about 50-60% higher than US prices, however most large department/variety stores like BigW, Kmart and Target will have prices that are closer to the US prices. I am not sure if this reduction of prices outside of Lego stores occurs in other countries. Most smaller retailers and the more upmarket department store chains here like Myer or David Jones will follow Lego pricing, though with some sets, especially at sales, they can be the cheapest options. Australian prices for sets this wave actually seem quite good, although the inclusion of road plates does make it harder to judge the appropriate prices. Some sets such as shopping street (AU$120) seem ridiculously overpriced to me, but as I said the majority seem quite reasonable. Quote

In the USA the normal prices at LEGO to department stores is exactly the same prices. The department stores just have the sets on sale very often at 20% off, and then better sales a few times a year.

I am glad to know that, I had previously just assumed they would have been lower as well and that Australian buyers were paying a lot more either way. We have 20% sales regularly here to, in fact I managed to get the tuning workshop set at the US price. Quote
LCP Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 This video shows the process of assembling 60291 quickly. The location of the seal is different from the regular Lego city products. Quote
