It would get me sick too, but he got sick first. Construction and anything with boats. The new road pieces in brown would be perfect for docks. The train station (which sounds more like a transit center from the description) and the grocery store are the sets I look forward to the most for the summer. Quote

I love almost all LEGO Train stations, besides what I think was the last one which looked like a T-Station in a ghetto. The T is the train system in Boston. Outside the city some of the stations are meh. Quote

jonwil Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 A bendy bus would be an instant must buy for me. Quote
Lion King Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Yeah I would buy a bendy bus for sure so I can have T-rex terrorize passengers boarded! Quote

The Island Chronicles Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 If it were up to me, all vital civilian services (i.e. doctors and paramedics, construction workers, public transit workers (including passenger train drivers and station managers), postal/cargo workers (including cargo train and mail train drivers), food service workers, towers, sanitation engineers, etc) would get their own dedicated subthemes alongside police and fire. As Lego stated about subthemes for City, it opens opportunities for broad ranges of sets - which to be honest, City has done an exceptionally decent job of lately. While great vehicles and town would be merged to support less important lines of work such as taxi drivers or beach patrols. Out of the city subthemes such as ocean exploration, Stuntz (which judging from the box art, it seems to take place in a deserted area than in the city), wildlife rescue, space and farm, which is in the same universe as City, would get special treatment under a spin-off theme called Beyond the City Limits. I actually did a logo of how I'd do it. The only difference is that I'd do a wooded background or a desert landscape instead of the blue background. Quote
Lion King Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Does an egg splat piece come in sickly green? I need that as a “vomit” Quote

There is a Futurama episode where Bender becomes a human, he pukes an olive green color. The first color he puked was brown but Fox told the writers that was too much. So If green is good enough for human robot puke then it's good enough for you! Quote

A lot of the construction sets are outdated. There hasn't been much other than the recent mobile crane and skid loader. A new dump truck, backhoe, excavator, front loader, cement mixer, high rise crane and road construction crew would be nice. Maybe have some of those combined in a high rise building set that just has steel framing structure. The USA needs infrastructure fixed and rebuilt. It would be a nice theme to bring back to LEGO City. Kids always like construction machines, as that goes through generation to generation. Quote

Maybe you could do it with a cement mixer, but not with the other construction machines I mentioned. The dark yellow should be applied to the other construction machines if they release new ones. The lighter yellow color just looks outdated. Quote

jonwil Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Bought the new Friends food trucks set today and other than the 3 minidolls, the cat and maybe a few other parts it wouldn't look too out of place in a City setup given that food trucks/stands of that sort can and do have those kind of brighter colors in real life. At the very least its a GREAT parts pack for the kind of City stuff I build :) I wonder what other awesome-for-City-builders sets from this year (or from previous years that might still be on the shelf) I have missed out on just because they happen to be labeled "friends"?

How about the 41682 Heartlake City School set? Perfect for builders who want a little more detail that the 60329 School Day couldn't offer. There is also 41704 Main Street which is also a pretty good one. Quote

MANY! Friends has had a ton of awesome sets throughout the years. Quote
icm Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 The Heartlake City Airplane from 2020 is amazing. It's got a brick built wing box and overhead luggage bins. I thought about getting it several times but ended up getting the larger City version instead. Quote
