rzmpf Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Going to save a lot of money, because nothing in this new wave seems to be something I like. Wildlife rescue after they already have that theme in Friends but with only 3 sets? Quote
fo4saken Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Just one more thing about Crooks Hideout... Helicopter has got 2 knobs as I spot. One is at the end of the tail and it definitely do something and second one is on the top of the rotor, I'm not sure it has got a job to do or it is simply finish element. There could be two actions; one for rotating rotors and second for pulling in and pulling out the rope. Quote
AndreMW Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 I wonder what the 3in1 Castle will look like... Quote

I am afraid the rope just hangs there, the knob at the back should spin the Blades, so the one at the top is just decorative i think. Quote
fo4saken Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 @TuffTuffTuff @Salix there is another solution... Just simply put the new road plate directly on the track and connect it. A small ramp will form; because road pieces are not too big like old 32x32 ones, tilt angle is more natural and not so ugly if I can say so. It will never be perfect or proper but there are always some options we can live with. And I accept that Quote
SollX Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) i agree. it looks good, but it is a little bit illegal :P as for the people arguing about the connectivity with standard baseplates and modulars... just sprinkle some (2x2 or other size) plates under the baseplate, and it is exactly 2 plates high.

The Island Chronicles Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Should I avoid feeling disappointed about this year's summer wave? Quote
LCP Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 It is a disappointing composition as a whole. Quote

kovalscky Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Meh... I believe that summer sets is just a big fake or a someone's wishlist, but not the reality. They aren't City sets at all. Quote

Any guesses on why they are so expensive and what a Chicken stunt bike would be? There are six sets like this, all stunt bikes, all 10 - 14 pieces, and all at a 9.99 price point. In this regard they most remind me of the Mario suit power-up packs from the Super Mario theme. I suppose it's possible that Lego could be introducing an 'interactive gaming experience' into this city subtheme. Quote
jonwil Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 I am happy that they aren't doing Coast Guard and instead are doing something with animals (hopefully some new animals like we got last year in the underwater sets and not just the same animals we already have) At best Coast Guard would likely include yet more sharks as animals (if that) Quote

Coast Guard would be an opponent to utilize more of the animals used in last year's Divers wave. Instead of most of the stunt sets, Lego could've made room for a coast guard revival. No excuses Lego. Better yet, coast guard alongside the needed stunt sets and the wildlife subtheme would've been perfect as the three could tie in perfectly with each other. Wildlife could have a set where they rescue a washed up sea creature and they have to call the coast guard. Stunt team can have some type of stunt jetski. Quote

Good ideas @Brandon Pea I didn't like the new summer wave that much, I was hoping for a new coast guard subtheme this year but instead of that, Lego does new subthemes, this wave was what I wanted:No exploration sets! Lego City is a theme based on city, not nature. When I saw the January wave I liked it because it didn't have nature sets(except the tractor) but now they are going to do 3 nature sets But my hopes for what sets 60307 and 60308 could be civilian based sets:60307 can be a d2c(harbor, big set with shops.....) and 60308 can be a 50€ set(bus with bus stop, building...) If those unknown sets show up as civilian sets, I'm going to like the summer wave Edited January 13, 2021 by Powered by Bricks Quote

There has been about 10 City building sets in the last 20 years. City sets every summer are based on nature, Jungle, Volcano, Arctic, Spaceport. City is a theme based on what sells, no what you want.
