williejm Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 I’m very much enjoying how the squirrels are suddenly at the heart of all the action in Lego City 🐿🐿🐿 Quote

williejm Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Have to say that ice cream headpiece is ridiculous 😝 Quote
LCP Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 I just found out that the number of bricks in 60351 product is 1010. Quote
fo4saken Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 On a sidenote, in 60315 Police Mobile Command instead tuk tuk we have small tractor. And I like how they create new gang logo, egg with glasses lol. Quote

brimbolet Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 I'm really disappointed with the school. It's the same price (if I'm not mistaken) as of the current and new fire station, it has more than 100 (!) bricks less and looks so unfinished that I'm speechless. No roof, the school bus comes with no doors... The pupils are so great, and the blurry school kids polybag will be a hit so I'm really really sorry for the wasted potential. The hospital is very good, though I prefer the last one. Not a fan of curved walls in general. Still not sure about the space sets. Why the horse transport comes with a husky and no foal I don't understand, but it's a good looking set. The mobile crane and surprisingly picnic in the park are the first sets I'm getting. The squirrels are amazing. Quote

They just wanted to push lots of things in one set at the cost of brick pieces. I guess it would be too much if this set would have 700+ pieces and 99€. Quote

The squirrels are amazing. Hospital and mobile crane are only decent ones this wave. Rest of the sets they shoved in road plates and took away bricks from the builds, why is there a road plate at the beach??? The school just looks sad, same goes for the bus in it. Most of this line seems like a 4+ release. On a happier note i get to save money most of this wave. Quote

Never make sense at all That's why I keep saying this set is completely failure Friends is for kids City is for kids I am not talking about for AFOL style at all Edited December 2, 2021 by bright22 Quote
Maple Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) I love how there is a brown squirrel and a black one in the same set. The beach one has a kid with dual molded legs, is that a first? The school sucks. A bus without a door is lame. The fire station is interesting. And the prices are terrible if true on most of these sets. I also H-A-T-E the neon yellow HATE it. Pale yellow looked better. Edited December 2, 2021 by Maple Quote

And the prices are terrible if true on most of these sets. The short legs appeared dual (like for Harry potter Dobby) and tripple moulded (like many Simpsons kids) quote often. I think the colour combination is new. Can anyone say what colour the school bus has? I was hoping for litteraly anything other than the minifig face yellow but it seems to be it :/ Quote
Maple Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Oh right Bart had duel molding legs. The rocket launch has the big moon base dome pieces in white! Exactly what I wanted! It's really nice and big. I thnk we know why City is going into space... It's to get away from all the squirrels. Edited December 2, 2021 by Maple Quote

lightningtiger Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 School too small but I guess modify isn't out if the question. The bank is one of the best designs for a bank or office building ever. The park and beach sets are wonderful The horse trailer set is a modern take on the 2009 set. Looks like the new six wide door frames are going to be very common. Quote
