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

[Lyichir]

Bulldozer looks great! A worthy follow up to last year's crane and excavator. It even has working pistons in the engine, a rarity outside the Technic/Creator theme.

2025 Dozer set + 2024 Digger really could use a Rock Truck set in 2026, and maybe a new Wheel Loader in 2027 or something, to expand the heavy duty construction/mining setup they got going for that "elephant" logo brand.

I could see like an Articulated Dump Truck in the style of 60445, 60440 and 60408 with the new connecter pieces. Also could see a wrecking ball crane too, what about an excavator for the rails? Cement Mixer as the last non 4+ one was 2013, a construction site would be good. What about updated versions of 7344, 7631, 4434, 4202, 60073, 60075

We got that this year:

Got that before and the mould is destroyed unfortunately

  

Wait what? They destroyed the Dachshund mold? Why? It seemed like the perfect breed to put in more sets.

They as a rule destroy all moulds after 5 years without being used in a set

[LCP]

According to the information revealed today, the number of pieces in the 60473 set is 1941.

[Powered by Bricks]

So there you have it folks! 1941 pieces and price of 199,99€

How is the set that big?

@Inspecter

From what I understand TLG can revive an old mould anytime they want provided it will be used in order to justify the effort.

Apparently it's cheaper to destroy it and then recreate it than to store it.

So that design is not lost, unlike TLG's imagination given that they couldn't find opportunities to use that mould over the course of 5 years.

[Inspecter]

It may be cheaper, but they still managed to run into a problem when it came to the goat.

Definitely, all the trouble it was bringing back that sought after mould, so no piece of cake to do it.

That is probably right, however they must make a new mould and that cost money and definitely a lot more budget/time than using a mould in production already.

A Dump Truck or Front Loader has to be next, I'm guessing by the end of the year? With all these newer releases of construction machines, a Construction Site or Road Construction set(it would be a chance for LEGO City to release road set using black flat pieces) needs to be in the near future. Also an Asphalt Maker would be nice to compliment the Steam Roller(technically that is a Road Roller(I bought 2 of them and converted one to a correct Steam Roller), but LEGO City has never had black colored roads to depict asphalt roads. I'm just happy that LEGO City brought the Construction vibe back after such a long absence with only small trickle-in sets.

Wouldn't that be to prevent degradation of an existing mold, especially if there are variations done to that mold?

60473: The City Tower. Huge disappointment... :(

The only problem I have is the space ship. Keep that with the space stuff! If I were the head person on this design, I would have put a 2nd Subway Train Car to attach to the 1st one, added a 2nd piece of track and omitted the space ship. I'm sure all these components can be branched off. Wondering is there anything inside the tower building?

A mould could probably last a lot longer than 5 years, but apparently the cost of keeping it pristine and store it is not worth it if the mould are not planned used for the foreseeable future
If they need to replace a mould or update it they will just do that whenever. I remember the modular bank(?) had the original parrot mould in the start of the run and later got the updated one..

Good call

It turns out that there are at least 22 Lego City sets to be released in the first half of 2026.

Is not that a lot? Could it be more formel 1 or something similar with a lot of sets?
Hopefully some animals

60466 Yellow Bulldozer

This looks very good, although I'd prefer the front blade to be a single large piece. The ripper mounted on the back is a nice touch.

Yeah, I'm also waiting for a good new tipper or dump truck to accompany the excavator. Wheel loader would also be a cool addition to the construction armada.

[TeriXeri]

Just recently built 60460 No Limits: Race Car Ramp Track , box image doesn't do it justice as it's much larger then it appears. Also the posters and checkered tiles are prints.

And there's a lot of room underneath to build custom stuff, but they still finished it up with tiles under there.

Also was really fun to see one episode of LEGO Masters 2025 Netherlands/Belgium did one episode about Soapbox cars where they had to race while losing the least pieces :)

From the looks of it, I actually like the City Tower. It is very impressive, too.

[Roebuck]

When do we expect more pictures from the summer wave?

[FinlayTheFaithful]

Maybe next week since they'll probably officially reveal them in May

[Klaus-Dieter]

Thanks for the news!

The Bulldozer looks great.

In contrast, I'm absolutely disappointed about the outcome of the City Tower.

I wish back the summer 2023 wave when we got (really ocerpriced, but) many different and amazing civilian buildings!

I got most of them reduced, I’m wondering what the central station will look like 

[Izzynufc-2]

Just seen a drawing of central station, looks good with its clock tower and pigeons
