Pchan1983 Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Just got the new Stuntz Bikes, as usual the minifigures are great. Would love to have new bike body but it's ok. The bear stunt driver have lovely printing and love the new head. Wondering if they will continue to have new stuntz bike beyond March. Also not sure in other regions but in New Zealand, these currently only available via LEGO.com. Quote

ks6349 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Just got this set today for approx. 17 USD today. Good price? It's probably the first Police truck (except the patrol car last year) that I've ever got. Appreciated that police truck has been improved. Quote
TeriXeri Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) I think that truck is pretty cool, the rounded front especially is somewhat different, a bit like the more modern land rover discovery. Meanwhile the truck from the 60371: Emergency Vehicles HQ is more like a Land Rover Defender. I'm not trying to compare City vehicles to the real-licensed Speed Champions or anything, I just think it's interesting to see similarities between real world vehicle models and paint color schemes vs City. Even while Police, Fire, and Medical vehicles are nothing new, basicly the staple of LEGO City and Town before that, it's still nice to see what designers come up with, with newer pieces allowing different headlight variations, which will likely even increase over the years as LEGO introduces new parts or transparent variants of existing parts. Even with Speed Champions moving to 8 wides, it's nice to see City and Friends vehicles are also still evolving. Edited January 14, 2023 by TeriXeri Quote

Maple Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 Europe gets City sets for cheaper and better sales. I learned to look on eBay after widespread European sales. Quote

Izzynufc-2 Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Anyone else wanna see the City Road plates do corners and roundabouts? Quote

Pchan1983 Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 It's not new animal mould but getting a new variant of cat and french bulldog both in one of the smallest set is such a blessing. Although the van is not good even as a 4+ build. IF you think about it, it's still cheaper to buy this and the otter ones compared to getting the animals only when it's available from standard pick a brick in a few months time. Quote

Even if you can get by without them for a city street layout, they're pretty essential for racetracks, which were one of the other major uses that the old road baseplates had back in the day! Ideally, I think I'd prefer a curve that turns less than 90 degrees, like LEGO train tracks have, so you have the option of off-grid building. But a 90-degree turn would definitely be simpler for builders to work with, especially younger kids. 3 hours ago, lifeinplastic said: I couldn’t find a separate thread about the A-Frame Cabin - are we classing this as City and OK to discuss here? Not sure about the answer to your question, but so far I've mostly seen folks have been discussing it in the Ideas discussion thread. Quote

I wish Lego would do a race course set. It would be a true excuse to make curvy roads plates. That leads me into something else too! People are saying that the road plates are set to be discontinued, but I highly doubt that as there are children who love to roll their Lego vehicles on them when playing pretend and there are adult town builders who use them for their towns. So I personally think they'll stick around, especially there is a new pedestrian crossing piece that I believe leaked on Instagram - can't really find a picture of it. Some other ideas I have other than the race course are......well....you've gotta go on the Ideas for new City sets forum to see those. Quote

I'm waiting until they are $6-$7 like almost all $10 sets become at some point in the USA. Those torsos are like $1 each, the cat and dog at least $1.50 so right there is $5. The car sucks but at least it has prints that are useful. Quote
