just2good Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 0:07 this red bus is huge, could be this bus part of set ,,metro mdp"? The red bus is from the Town Square set of 2013. Quote
Ondra Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 The red bus is from the Town Square set of 2013. Yes, I absolutely miss this set... Quote
Robert8 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Oh... That ship is amazing It looks so detailed! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Okay, so that ship appears to have another new boat haul piece......but my gut says also that is the new Explore dive ship......toy fair will show us, well more likely NY Toy Fair. That story will continue....I'm going to miss the original triple team of crook clowns we had in the beginning. Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Thank you very much for the picture of the new diver, lightningtiger, and for the picture of the possible 60095 Deep Sea Research Vessel, just2good! About the new diver: I'm not that fascinated by him because imo he could have a bit more light colors (like he is now, he looks a bit too dark). But apart from that he seems to be quite ok. About the possible deep sea research vessel: On the one hand I'm a bit sceptical about the width of the ship: It seems as if there are 8 2x1x2 windows in the front. Plus minimum one brick place on both sides makes in total an 18 bricks wide ship. For that it only has a bridge and an elevator for the diver's cage and a small boat this seems a bit too big. On the other hand at 0:02 you can see that the captain wears a new torso. That speeks for the movie showing actually a real set. As well as I think it might be possible that there is a submarine not shown in the movie with can be lifted by the elevator instead of the diver's cage. For a sumarine a wide elevator and ship would be necessary. So let's see. But if this would really be the real set, I "fear" I won't be able to resist to buy it! The only think which disturbs me so far is that the bridge seems open at its back. Btw: Happy new year! Klaus-Dieter Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Now you might be right 'Klaus'.......that is a wide ship, though it seems to be not very long ? I wonder how many spoilers were in that short film ? Quote
paul_delahaye Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 The ship looks to be like a U shape at the back half of the ship, it's too good to not be part of the summer line up. Quote
greg3 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Loving the look of that diving ship... The original Divers theme was one of my favourites so I can't wait for the new version!! 2015 looks like it's going to be an expensive year for me!!! Quote
Bricknblue Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Great minifigure but I don't like the short sleeves on this one! Thank you! I went "The torso is nice, not crazy detail like the Chima ones" and then went "Why is the guy n short sleeves and black gloves?" I'm hoping, probably in vain, that the short sleeves are only for the cube because it looks stupid at best. Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Personally I don't find the boat interesting at all, I agree with Klaus-Dieter it's too wide and and not long enough, or maybe it's just because I'm not too fond of boats, I'm eager to see how the rest of the line looks like though. Quote
Hewman Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I had no interest in the divers line, until I saw that pic. It looks like a detailed realistic version of a research vessel, and that is something I must have. And maybe a submarine to go with it. Does anyone else think that there's a slim chance that the new space sets might have a classic space influence? The lack of conflict in classic space mean it's not really suited to modern space themes but could be a good fit for the 'city explore' line. I'm not getting my hopes up though, it'll probably deliver a white space shuttle and a space port with a giant <insert that tiresome argument> rocket or two along with a couple open vehicles. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 If City Expore is a new ongoing sub-theme to City then one hopes that it will include more than space and deep water diving......though City has been going through it's A&E phase....mining, logging, tow trucks, now polar exploration and 2015......a Discovery Channel feel with space and diving........what's next Nat Geo Wild ?

sasbury Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) The new ship looks very good to me. I was a huge fan of the original divers sets and would welcome a return of that theme if it's well designed. In particular, I think http://brickset.com/...Deep-Sea-Refuge is one of the better town sets ever. With the exception of the Pirates theme, Lego ships in general tend to be significantly undersized. To me, a larger hull size is a much better scale, provides more customization options, and offers more playability. My only concern is the length of the ship. One problem with previous Lego town ship hulls (post 1979) is the inability to customize the length. If Lego can address that concern, they'll have a winner. Edited January 3, 2015 by sasbury Quote

Rob1321 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 OT but alot of the 2014 city sets are missing from the lego shop. Does anyone know why? Not listed as sold out or retiring soon but just gone. Quote
pugmom Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Sorry if this has already been covered, but when is 60073 (truck/porta potty) supposed to be available in the US? I see it on the UK S@H, but not on the US site, not even coming soon. When I went to the store yesterday, they had no idea....Thanks! Edited January 3, 2015 by pugmom Quote
Boettner Builds Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I would also like to know about the port-a-potty :) Quote

lightningtiger Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 That poly bag police copter.....er, no don't like and that go-cart one only has that cool engine design going for it. It appears the instructions are up on Lego.com for the city sets. Quote
paul_delahaye Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 when is 60073 (truck/porta potty) supposed to be available in the US? I can't answer your question, but I can tell you it's a great build and a great little set for the money. Hope it crosses the pond soon! Quote

danimarroquin Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Lego really needs to make more buses and a gas station for all this cars and trucks we are getting every year . Quote
plastic_ati Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Space, diving boat, Yeah! Maybe I will have some more City sets this year too. Quote
