2012 City sets

Recommended Posts

Those were already posted here. :sadnew:

Come on... Is it really that important? It's the first time I've seen pics of that set. Thanks for sharing AlaPo - great to know that I don't have to know what ALL threads and posts on eurobricks include

^^However it wouldn't hurt to look at the updated first post before posting pictures as I did...

The 2012 City sets are pretty depressing. With the exception of the City Garage and the Great Vehicles this is looking like a dull year in my opinion. I wish LEGO would call a mulligan on the Hospital. It seems they greatly dissappointed many that were expecting a worthy successor to the 6380 Emergency Treatment Center.

That's exactly my point, typo. Thanks for the explanation. :thumbup:

Just a heads up, this

6897479899_e210212a2d.jpg

is what I was referring to.

I was actually hoping it came with the garage set. Anyone know what set it might be in or will be in?

Interesting, it doesn't appear on the parking station's box art so could there be an extension to the great vehicles series involving this sign ? :look:

A little comment: I think the aircrafts of latest models have too few parts... There's to many big parts, not like in the 90's where you really had to build the ting :wacko:

Maybe it'll be in this year's train exclusive? It is attached to a railroad... :look:

I disagree. Recent planes still require a decent amount of creative building. The main difference between the new planes and those of the '90s is that the new ones seem more airworthy; the old ones were blocky and awful. I had the plane from the Launch Command theme, and I'm happy never going back to that era.

I meant to say in a train exclusive this year. One hasn't been confirmed yet. :wink:

Couldn't it just simply be something they made just for that exhibit? Just to add a bit of detail to the city?

Assuming that's just a sticker, it wouldn't have taken a LEGO designer very long to design that and have it printed on sticker paper.

Not everyone, myself included, don't always check the first post after already reading it and the thread. So, posting or reposting a picture isn't going to hurt anything...

Even though you might be right, I still hope we do get sign similar that one in a future set.

More relevant than the sticker is which might indicate this is part of a new set is the rare part the sticker is stuck onto, part 6178 in blue?

Bricklink Part Page

which I don't think has been seen in a set since 1994? and that must be one of the least owned sets out there? I'd like to think this is part of a new set, maybe round 2 of the city vehicles, they seem to have been popular, my local toy shop has sold at at present.

Remember that LEGO designers can often get hold of things mere mortals cant.

For example this

moonbase high

has a trans-orange dome that has never been in a set as well as other not-seen-in-sets trans-orange parts.

Again you come through for us 'GRogall', thanks for the pictures of the medical centre....seriously that isn't big enough to be a hospital. :wink:

I wonder why Lego has chosen big plates instead of base plates ?

Could it be that the idea is you snap these onto road plates and make paths up to the front doors of each building.....the forest police station is the same. :wink:

I still say the ambulance in it is a let down, but I'll still buy one.....I'm a sucker for city sets ! :laugh:

Thanks GRogall! :grin:

So the English name is helicopter rescue, eh? That's a great name to illustrate a set about a hospital. :sarcasm:

Maybe they knew people would think it's too small for a hospital, so they didn't include hospital in the name. :laugh:

I'm also still looking for the price on the Garage set!

You're absolutely right :tongue: It's too darn small to call it a hospital. But hey I'm not complaining. We relly needed a new hospital, and this set is a nice start. It leaves plenty of room for exspansion to all the nurses and surgents we've got from the collectibles :wink:

Thanks for the pics og both "Heli-resc" and "Garage".
