lightningtiger Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 ^ The car showroom is nice, should be its own set. The Lego shop does not seem to be the same style which is odd as they are in the same set. Lego should really have made a bigger Lego shop and sold it as a Lego store exclusive. They have recently...... It appears for the car dealer that the car ramp has a technic lift arm arrangement. Though do we need another small helicopter.......I hope it's a media copter i,e, TV news. Cute little vendor builds there.....coffee and ice cream.....yum. Quote
SMC Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 ^ That sets too exculvise, you can't buy it. TV copter sound cool but I think its you guessed it police. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 These look awesome, definitely the best LEGO City Summer wave since... well, the best Summer wave EVER! Now, that's a bit of stretch......though I totally agree only to say that 60097 City Square might be the greatest city set in the last ten years of City. Quote
fred67 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I've compiled a few more images. http://www.thebrickf...mberg-toy-fair/ What's that dragon thing behind the jet? Quote
danimarroquin Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Ok looking at the pictures of the new town Square , its not a garage for sure ! Its a car Dealership !!!! They sell cars on it and has display car with a flat bed truck . Edited January 27, 2015 by danimarroquin Quote
Vorkosigan Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) What's that dragon thing behind the jet? Already release creator set: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Red-Creatures-31032?fromListing=listing Ship, and sunken ship, and small sub seems like a big set for $80. It looks like it might actually include a baseplate?! Very interesting set for me. I wish there was a picture of the sub on the right edge of this picture, it looks like it might be the biggest sub ($25 set). Helicopters must sell but I'm sick of them. Why not give us a big sub instead? Nice colors but too similar to the multiple police Chinooks from the last few years. If it comes with that sub below it I will have to get it though.

lightningtiger Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Hmm, thinking about it they could of called City Square Town Square MkII......TS's pizza bar and bike shop would fit into CS perfectly. I also wonder if this is what we are to expect every year or two......a huge city building set. Though another flat bed breakdown truck.......breakdown vehicles are coming as common as police vehicles right ? Another thing.....GV series last year had a car carrier.....hmm, a link between GV's and future city mega sets ? Quote
legopiratelord Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Those space shuttles look awesome. The astronauts look very similar to the ones from 2011. I wonder if they are placeholders or if they decieded to keep the same look. I thought the 2011 minifigs were very stylish, so I'd be very pleased if they were kept the same basic look. Also loving that deep sea helicopter. The divers (best seen on the box art in the background) have a very different color scheme than the one we saw earlier in the cube. Quote
Robert8 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 City Square looks good, but not as impressive as I was expecting. I hope we'll get a better look soon Divers.... I don't know: the ship looks good but the underwater part of the set looks kinda plain. City Space is getting the crown here, IMO. Looks great Quote
talos Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I am trying to figure out WHY is there a helicopter in the City Square set? Arghh.. Quote

I don't know: the ship looks good but the underwater part of the set looks kinda plain. City Space is getting the crown here, IMO. Looks great True we need a close up look at the kiosks and shop/showroom and those underwater wrecks are just that.....so they don't look new right ? I am trying to figure out WHY is there a helicopter in the City Square set? Arghh.. Either it's an increase in police state activity or it's for TV news reporting. Quote
Rob1321 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Was expecting much more from the town square set. Still good to get some city buildings though. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Was expecting much more from the town square set. Still good to get some city buildings though. We can always hope it might be the beginning of a new era for City.......separating non city based designs from the city theme. Quote
Bacon Potatoes Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I'm just happy about how much more of a scientific and exploration angle City has taken on recently. With last year's Arctic and now divers and space port coming back, I'll definitely be enticed to pick a few of these up. Quote
Mikeysee Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I am loving the look of the diver stuff so far. The space stuff might be a bit disappointing, hard to tell with those pics. The town square doesn't do much for me. I'm pumped! Quote
Robert8 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Is that Larry the Barista on the City Square set? e.e Quote
XAxles Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Just approaching February and you get to see the Advent Calendar?! THIS IS MADNESS! Digging the Shuttle builds at the bottom most tier, in between the Marshmallow and Santa. Also, TWO RC RACERS!!! AND CHIBI TRAIN! Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 LOVE the Diving sets, at least what we've seen thus far.... But I can't be the only one that's a bit frustrated with the figures' color scheme not matching that of their vehicles???! Wish they were blue & yellow like the ship. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I'm not happy with something to do with City Square.....it just dawned on me......where the basic idea come from Cussoo Mini Shops Project.....the one that reach 10K but was rejected by Lego......I wonder what other ideas have been stolen from other AFOL's. I don't mind having ideas used by Lego, but at least say something about where the original concept come from. Quote
incomplet Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Fell in love with city as a kid; but my love has evolved into modular buildings. Hope they can do a police station soon! Quote
Criga88 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I may get a couple of the small divers sets to stock up on figs in wetsuits and some of the sea life but that boat is completely out of proportion in every way. The new Town Square looks like a great starting point for mods and if it has a LEGO Store employee fig I'll be stoked. The only thing I'll be changing from the get go will be the colours of the light rail and parting out the helicopter. Quote
Roebuck Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) From what I can see on the pictures behind the sets, it looks like one of the sets has at least 5 animals witch is great!! Just like good old "divers" in that respect Sharkorama :shark: :shark: Edited January 28, 2015 by Roebuck Quote
Artifex Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I've compiled a few more images. http://www.thebrickf...mberg-toy-fair/ I'm not really a purist when the subject is playmats, so I'd love to see Lego release a playmat like this one. Town Square is definitely one of my favorite sets this year! EDIT: Forgot to thank you for compiling the images, Thank you! Edited January 28, 2015 by Artifex Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) 'legomilk' posted this in the train forum....... If you look carefully you will see the copter is a TV news copter ! Though for the price we only get an old school spanner/screwdriver for the service centre not the new tool wheel.......hmm, And centre is spelt the American way.......not cool, Lego. Edit - found this on Brickset...... Question is what are those red hinge pieces doing there and what's with the one stud overhang on the car showroom near the flatbed breakdown truck ? Edited January 28, 2015 by lightningtiger Quote
3797 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Very, very underwhelming. Imo that's one of the weakest lineups since Town Jr. 170€ for the whole set is wishful thinking. What non-AFOL parent is going to spend that kind of money on a toy? Especially, since there are hardly any useful bricks in that huge set. Instead, it's all just panels and windscreens. The creator bike shop, beach hut, toy shop and all the others are much better value. They should have released the LEGO shop and truck as a separate set for no more than 50€. Quote
