2011 City sets

[SpiderSpaceman]

belville has just been discontinued

ok, I mean as far as getting boatloads of rare parts out of advent calendars, that's gonna be a missed opportunity but I think most people agree that belville was second rate, too many huge chunk parts, and aimed at a target audience that didn't want it

Police van is a MUST BUY for me (new windscreen in trans-lt-blue will be PERFECT for various car and truck designs and I hope I can get more than one without spending a fortune.

Police fig pack is definatly a must buy, crowbar, new dog, new backpack, new criminal shirt with jacket, ATM.

Police station is a must buy, far too many cool things not to buy one. White bike, more blue windows, new grille piece (that matches the old door grille but is fixed) plus all those bits that say "police" in exactly the same lettering as the last police station (which means they will match if I build more police MOCs)

Dog Squad van and Police Truck are the big letdowns here. Why are so many civilian cars in LEGO City red? (I am sure TLG has focus group testing that shows that "kids like red sports cars more than they like sports cars in other colors").

Police helicopter is also a bit of a let down, it looks like the helicopter from the heli and limo set only in police colors and slightly larger in some places mixed with a yellow/black version of the little pickup truck from the most recent garage set

So for me, the police van, fig pack and police station (in that order) are on my wishlist :)

I have a feeling that it's going to be like Paradisa, Just because belville has just been discontinued

I was under the impression that Belville will be getting new sets next year. But I'm not 100% sure about that though.

Regarding the girly minfig theme it's said to include beutiful houses. Haven't seen any pictures yet but we can all guess what colorscheme it'll have...

Also i've been hearing that the theme may be pushed back to 2012...

These sets are a super WIN!

Police helicopter is also a bit of a let down, it looks like the helicopter from the heli and limo set only in police colors and slightly larger in some places mixed with a yellow/black version of the little pickup truck from the most recent garage set

HEY! my friend owns that set and it was actually different!

[LordVuppy]

That police station looks good unlike previous ones that all looked the same.

[Mrlegoninja]

Nice pics!

[Delta 38]

Great, as before. I'm starting to have second thoughts about getting the dog car because it doesn't have a prisoner minifig, which I am in need of. Either way, nice images, though they have stayed mostly the same. I'd like to see clearer images of the space subtheme though.

[Baylego]

I am not a big fan of City, but I am liking the new set in the last picture for the fact that it has lots of new elements in one pretty small set.

[prateek]

ZOMFG new windshields!

[peterab]

That prison van is more like a cool multipurpose police vehicle.....oh, the MODing/MOCing potential !

I have to agree with you LT, that van looks like it has lots of potential, and it come with a yellow crate and an orange dirt bike, and the new sack piece. The only way it could get better is if it includes the new crow bar. The more I think about it the more likely I'm going to get it.

I also like the new helicopter, I think the colouring would make for a good paramedic vehicle, just add some star of life stickers and mod it for stretcher access and Bobs your Auntie.

Thank you very much for these new and clear pics, The Soup Nazi and Darth Jar Jar!

The space van looks great! I really like its design. And the launch pad isn't bad, too.

The police minifigure collection is ok. But I miss the new police officer in there.

The police truck is much too huge and wide and includes to few interior for its overdimensional inside.

The police helicopter looks good. It's only a pity that the pick-up is in yellow and has no clack to its cargo bay.

The prison transport looks amazing and includes a lot of playbility and nice, usefull and realistic elements.

That police station looks good unlike previous ones that all looked the same.

I completely agree with you, LordVuppy!

The new police station looks really authentic and much more like a real building which fits very well in every bigger city.

What I really dislike about the whole City-2011 is that TLG is getting more and more greedy, year by year in offering us minifigs per set. The van I've mentioned has just ONE minifigure.

Concerning the space van I have to disagree with you, Night City Dream. Which second minifig would fit in this set? Imo a second minifig would be out of place there.

But concerning the rest of the City sets I completely agree with you, Night City Dream.

It's really a pity that TLG releases a passenger train which includes only two passengers. And in general there are much too few minifigs in teh bigger sets - only the huge exclusive sets get 7 or eight minfigs (which isn't much for the size of these sets).

I was under the impression that Belville will be getting new sets next year. But I'm not 100% sure about that though.

Regarding the girly minfig theme it's said to include beutiful houses. Haven't seen any pictures yet but we can all guess what colorscheme it'll have...

Also i've been hearing that the theme may be pushed back to 2012...

Thank you very much for this information, Mirandir!

It shows promise that the new girly minifigs theme will have beautiful houses!

Of course I'd prefer houses which aren't in purple or pink. On the other hand it would be great to get another family house - and today all colors are used for houses. The thing which is for me more important than the color is how these houses will look like: If they look very realistic and include a decent interior, then I even can cope with them being in purple or violet.

It would be a pity if they push it back to 2012.

Does someone remember when we got the pic for this year's 3222 Helicopter And Limousine set? This would then supposably even be the time this/next year when we'll get a picture of 3661.

I'm really excited what 3661 will include apart from the supposable armoured van. Hopefully there even will be a bank included (which I highly doubt) and hopefully the armoured van will look differently in contrast to the police car (and not including blue/red lights and not just be white-blue but only with a "security" sticker on it).What do you think?

It's nice to see a Police minifig collection featuring two cops, two goons, and a new K-9 dog design. However the Police trick awfully looks like a recycled version of the previous one.

The Police station looks quite nice. I very much like the dog van.

I am less impressed with the baseball cap police man, that would not last long in my collection as I prefer a more formal officer. Maybe I am simply old fashioned.

I have never really understood the large police lorry so am unlikely to get this version of it either. My eldest son, however, is desperate for it so I will have to buy him off with a different set. Which brings us back to the police station.

[Aanchir]

I'm impressed with how creative the dog car seems to be. It's five studs wide (!) in the back, something we rarely see in official sets.

Also, did anyone else notice that the "Police" sticker on the roof also has a silhouette of the new dog's face on it? I thought that was kind of cute.

Still looking forward to new Space pictures, but I guess we'll have to wait on those.

I'm impressed with how creative the dog car seems to be. It's five studs wide (!) in the back, something we rarely see in official sets.

While it's not really my favorite design, that feature definitely stands out and it certainly is a nice development that TLG will make odd studs widths where appropriate (and not too costly presumably).

[badboytje88]

The new dog is so adorable!

[WhiteFang]

Apart from the Police Station, I find the rest of the new Police sets pretty good, especially if you happens not to own any Police sets. I could love to get hold of some of the smaller sets and even the helicopter too, just to put the fire helicopter and the limousine helicopter side by side.

[buddy]

These new Police sets look great!

I'll probably get all of them but the police station.

~buddy~

[Captain Becker]

I wish at there could have been some Fire sets too but oh well, next year then. Im probably getting only one set because 2011 is gonna be LEGO rich year for me, so i can buy everything Theres so many cool new sets and lines, but so little money.

Btw, anyone knows if there will be another Modular building in 2011?

Captain Becker

[Aanchir]

Not a set per se, but check out this glorious police version of the already-released minifig flashlight/torch!

[kohhu]

TRU in Frisco, TX has the police mini fig set, the new police boat and the K9 truck in stock! just picked them up...looks like they had room for another polcie set, but shelf was empty. Still had the old command center truck and HQ though.

[Mrlegoninja]

Could you please do a review on those sets? Thanks!

[kohhu]

these are just going into the collection. not planning on opening these. i may go back tomorrow (and check my lego store) to get sets to open and build. I was kind of in shock to see them, so i didnt think to buy 2 at the time...
