I think alot of these sets are great just horribly overpriced. I personally like the new police and fire sets.  The tuning shop, hospital, donut shop most of these in my opinion all have good qualities just overpriced and recently over simplified and <insert that tiresome argument>. But 4+ is not redeemable its garbage. Also whats with the insert tired argument thing ?

For sets I am not interested in, I don't keep an eye on its price. City Hospital once hit down to approx. $60 (united money) here in local toy shop, it wasn't overpriced at all, it was even underpriced. Donut shop was good only for the Donut remark, other parts are small and separate. The only set I agree that it's highly overpriced is the garbage truck released in recent years

Bit harsh.  I understand the police thing - it’s definitely got progressively worse the past few years - but this list is all compared to previous versions.  I agree with a number of these, but there are others which I’ve seen in use, and they are insanely popular with children.  Tuning Workshop is actually a really pretty good set, so is Capital City, and the collection of many features in thesemakes for many imaginary scenes.  The ice cream truck’s pretty good too - even if the thing on top ain’t great, it’s a good fun vehicle, and also looks great next to the pizza van from a few years back.  I personally hope we get more food trucks in the future.  Fish and chips would be quality.

Ice cream truck is bad because it has too many stickers that they can wear off easily and quickly after a few regular wiping and cleaning. I don't like to bother buying individual stickers online I really don't like this, bricks could last a long long time, but how many copies of the stickers will I need? So I never put on stickers and they are just put away.

All police sets are bad, yet these two are good? I'm terribly confused!

I agree! They're overpriced, but these sets have a bunch of potential. Bro! With added bricks, you can convert the ice cream truck to a literal stand. I did it once and it looked marvelous. Capital City, despite not having a capital building, was actually pretty good for what it was worth. Can fit in anyone's table town. Same with the tuning workshop (one of my favorites) and the service station - two of which are also upgradable.

someone local offered me 60185 for approx. $10 (usd), Oh, my god I got it for $20, what a big loss! yes, some sets are really overpriced but I don't know how those people could get it this cheap they are individuals, not a big supplier

I get the rather large sense of frustration in this list, and its responses.  I tend to feel some sets are overprice because they contain a number of large, mostly unique pieces, that don’t have much re-use-ability, such as the ocean explorer sets, or coast guards.  These tend to only hit my collection if they’re seriously discounted (35% or more off) and I’d never buy them for a child unless they were desperately into that theme.

I can see where the ocean explorer and space mission sets are fun for a kid. But they and the new animal rescue stuff are kind of hard to shoehorn into your "City". The Coast Guard or any of the boat sets aren't as bad because they work well if you have space for a harbor. And they don't have as many task specific parts. Heck those ships bridge windows would probably be a good element for a Baxter Building MOC to go along with the Daily Bugle.

I hate the ice-cream truck because it has too many stickers. I understand cost of printed bricks are higher but Lego isn't priced cheap, I just hate stickers and I would never understand those who protest for stickers. Sticker is wrong and wrong is wrong. No excuse.

The stickers aren't a factor of cost. At least not as much of one as we make out. Remember City sets are targeted mainly at Kids. And the Kids unlike we AFOL's view the stickers as a fun and important part of the experience. They like stickers and like applying stickers. Sometimes you have to give your primary target audience what they want.

If  stickers aren't a factor of cost (as you said), then many things aren't a factor of cost, then they can make two versions, one for kids who like to apply stickers, another one for kids or adults who dislike stickers. Making two versions will never increase the cost, it is only creating another box and putting other bricks like doing another set. But why not now?? Because it's just about cost.

Is there rumor that kind of horse transporter like lego 7635will be released early next year??

Next City Advent Calendar (for 2022 only), I would hope it comes with a perfect snowman, such as a new “ball” part for snowman’s bottom section. 

I really don’t mind a normal minifigure torso with new stick arms. I just don’t like how blocky the snowman’s body was. So ugly. 

Surely, it may not show up in City but it may show up in seasonal set or whatever.

Gosh, I really can't wait for the preliminary images. RUBBING HANDS mode ON

I think that's just Lego PR. I was a kid once. I hated stickers then too.

If kids like stickers so much, why aren't torso prints stickers? Why are we denying these kids all that fun they could be having?

[TeriXeri]

I never liked stickers on LEGO parts, no matter the age, kids might just not be perfectionist as AFOL in terms of preserving sticker quality/alignment.

As a kid I never worried much about putting 10+ sets into a big pile of bricks , but if a sticker was dirty/peeling or not aligned I didn't like it .

 

When I came back to LEGO in 2016 I didn't like stickers still, now in 2021 it's a little less dislike as I learned applying them with a bit of (dish)soap water a while ago, which tends to get better results then applying them dry and risk damage/fingerprint etc trying to apply/correct them, the water also reduces airbubbles and dust under a sticker somewhat (if the water is clean) and allows sliding them a bit after, and then using tissue paper to soak up most water to fix it into place.

As for City 2022, seems the Horse Trailer will be rumoured at €29,99, here's hoping there will be more then 1 horse for that budget.

The reindeer battle-pack comes with 4 big animals and cost only 7 euro/dollars more, so I expect more then one horse now, with all the animals we have gotten this year as well I hope the train keeps rolling (do I even dare start hoping for an updated foal mould)

With the 1x1 bracket pieces, saddles aren't even that big of a deal anymore, but still would be nice to see as well, but yeah, 4 Reindeer for €40 (NL) pricing is still a fantastic set.

I’m not sure about blurry box images, it may be fake. But prelimary images would be great!

If the new City sets are scheduled to be released in January 2022, it would take 3 months in production. It means… October 1 they will start production.

I have been wondering about one horse and one updated foal in that set.
