Most of the countries outside the US, Summer City sets are released in June, and then for the US released in August? Correct, unfortunately. However both the Backhoe Loader, and the mountain truck appear to be June releases, at least in Canada. Quote
krtwood Posted May 3 Posted May 3 So official picks are out. What is with all the color barf in the dump truck of 60494? The undercarriage is red for some reason and it's very visible. The inside of the bed has white parts in it, but I think those are 2x2 brackets and they are white to make the red and white stripe on the bed. But again, a red and white stripe does not stick out when the undercarriage is red. The loader looks good but I think the dumper is going to need a lot of parts to make it right. Quote

dimka_ya Posted May 4 Posted May 4 In my opinion, it would be better if the 60512 van was equipped with smaller wheels... and other mudguard details Quote

I will give it bigger wheels and mudguards in the style of the 2017 City Jungle trucks using part 28326 as mudguard. Quote

Adds some extra visual complexity Glad you like it, but "visual complexity" can be used to excuse virtually any eyesore of a design choice. Do you actually think the red looks good here? It's almost like some AI didn't understand danger striping and bled red & white everywhere. Quote

Ryan D Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago 60512 reminds me of the 2021 wildlife rescue sets a bit, likely due to the color scheme. Quote
