LEGO City 2025 SETS - Leaks, rumours, discussion. (Animals too)

[Klaus-Dieter]

As much a I would like new and more different and more seperate sold Trains sets, I fear that this won't happen (already) in 2025.

Since these wild animal based sets have been selling very well, I bet that we'll see one more wild animal theme in summer - either outback, savannah or mountain/forest.

Additionally I count on some nice new locations and buildings based on shopping, living, sports and recreation (like in summer 2023): some shops, a gym, a public swimming pool and a camping site, maybe?

Would deffo get a gym since it's another hobby I have outside of lego

One wild animal theme I completely support is an outback theme since we're overdue for a kangaroo

I hope you are right
The summer sets have started to leak, I assume the retailer catalogue have been sent to shops or similar, so City should not be far behind

[Klaus-Dieter]

As addition, I could very well see some sort of "one theme in one set" set like they did with the harbor this year:

Airport:

medium sized passenger plane (only six studs wide), freight helicopter, forklift, transport vehicle, mobile stairs, tower, airport building

Plus with the Scrapyard, Lego maybe shows us that they could release more specialized sets in the future, too. So there could also be some more random things like a garage (for parking cars), a car factory, a chocolate factory, a building-up a solar power plant etc., don't you think?

Would love a Lego City Gym and swimming pool

Usually City’s leak in Late January or early February.

I always hope for a North American forest/mountain subtheme so we can get moose, fox, goose, bison, buffalo, baby animals!

It would be awesome to get those molds. Animal molds are the reason why most explorers subthemes sold. I say most because we haven't seen the Volcano experts subtheme in ages. I think that was a one and done. Shame because I loved the vehicles. 

I'm still fighting for an Outback subtheme revival so we can get bearded dragon and kangaroo molds.

Yeah a Volcano subtheme was disappointed to animal lovers but i also love those vehicles too! Anyways, volcanoes are not very inhabitant-y so i guess we can accept lava monsters like power miner and rock raiders lol. 

Oh gosh, we do need Outback subtheme!!!

Race has technically come back. I still want Res-Q, Paradisa and Outback to return.

I have mixed feelings about an arctic train, maybe it's one of those trains made for clearing snow?

[Powered by Bricks]

The interactive jungle sets were delayed? Bummer

Looks like we now know why the cargo train is getting discontinued, I'm curious

A forest rangers subtheme could get us some cool new animals, let's say a red fox (Vulpes Vulpes), Eurasian Badger (Meles Meles), The Common Toad (Bufo Bufo) and then maybe wild boar and a return of the bear?

I think a heritage site could make a cool one off set. They could go for a more ubiquitous vague sort of fort/ruins or go for something more specific like a castle, not like a whole castle but parts as ruins, a museumy bit, pinic tables, a gift shop a little cafe and so on. You could include visitors, reenactment knights, tour guides, gardeners and other staff.

Yes they were, for March 2025 but looks like it's not going according to the plan

BDP guidelines but I think it's safe to assume it applies to internal designs as well.  It would be doubly hypocritical if it doesn't.  Of course, if Shell or BP threw enough money at TLG, I'm sure they would make an "exception" just like they do with the myriad of fossil-fuelled licensed vehicles they produce every year.

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/guidelines.page

1. Avoid highlighting fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas (e.g. depicting refineries, fuel storage or gas stations). It’s acceptable to showcase historical methods of transportation that rely on fossil fuels (e.g. steam locomotives). Modern vehicles need to adhere to this guideline, therefore the propulsion method should be ambiguous if it is not a sustainable power source.

When do we expect the nuclear fusion sets then?! ;)

Nice - I’ve been watching lots of YouTube videos about train trips up to the Arctic circle and as a lover of scenic train journeys I’d be very pleased with this.

If this means atompunk sets, I'm all for it! I've got a CS-styled nuclear-powered train ready to go along with them!

If this train turns out to be a rotary snowplow, I'm will buy at least one no matter what!

Yes, I'm counting on a snowplow, too.

Thanks for the news!

An Arctic train sounds great - it's something fresh which we haven't had before.

I hope it'll be a mixture of cargo train and passenger train containing an engine with snowplow, a passenger waggon, a container waggon with Arctic explorer stuff and a flatbed waggon with an Arctic explorer vehicle. What do you wish and think it'll include?

If done well, it would for sure fit very well in the Winter Village, too.

Hopefully some passenger wagons, a snow plow and a decent locomotive

I guess that Lego designed a more modern train where the snowplow is already integrated in the front of the engine (and so doesn't need an extra waggon) - like this one.

I´ve taken the rumour about that with a grain of salt anyways, because it simply seemed unlikely that if would be such a short time between test and release from the beginning. So I would rather think the rumour was wrong in the first place.

The train is $210 and the truck is $110.
Hopefully the truck is similar to the 2018 overland train, since I missed out on that one! I also wonder if there will be any more Arctic sets in 2025 (as the year’s exploration subtheme), or if these two are the only ones. 
 

[The Island Chronicles]

I wonder what's in store for summer 2025. I hope they release a proper school building, unlike the one from 2022. Before pictures were revealed in late 2021 and they announced that it would be a two-story building, I actually invisioned the school building that was featured in the 2014 My City game. Boy, was I disappointed.

Been quite a while since the last city scale hot rod, I'll go with that

Jungle sets are also being confirm for summer 2025 too
