MrZ Posted July 30 Posted July 30 On 7/13/2025 at 8:07 AM, TeriXeri said: LEGO very likely won't do actual ZOO sets anymore. From the bricklink designer program guidelines https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/guidelines.page "Avoid depicting wild animals in zoos, circuses, aquariums or other situations that are designed for human entertainment. Please only show wild animals in their natural habitats." Damn, I was about to suggest a livestock truck (with cows/pigs/sheep etc), but I guess that's a no go? Quote
jonwil Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Domestic animals are fine in settings like farms etc so a livestock truck would probably be OK as well. (especially given that Friends regularly makes things like horse transports) It's the depiction of wild animals outside of their natural habitats that's a violation of the BDP rules (and remember, we don't know if those are a reflection of what LEGO themselves would do, just what they allow in BDP) Quote

I doubt we'll see City sets with just animals and 0 figures, but sets are certainly shifting to higher animal/natural terrain ratios, even quite big side builds like the arctic foxes train tunnel and wolf cave . And a lot of new animal moulds in smaller sets showed up in Friends in 2025, I'm sure they might have some quota on new animal distributions. Edited August 5 by TeriXeri Quote

Broadcasting - basically a subtheme centered around the local news; included radio stations. Postal Workers - for obvious reasons Sanitation - garbage trucks and street sweepers seem to be a thing that Lego loves to push with the City theme.

I remember my friend asked me about a Paradisa revival and initially I told her that it was highly unlikely considering that we have Friends now. However, if they absolutely had to revive it, I'd say they would probably do what they did with Trains, Space, Arctic and Divers and place it in City. Just like the old Paradisa, they'd likely use it to promote city-related things where women are generally found such as fitness venues, dance studios, malls, etc. However, I would like to see @Izzynufc-2 take on a Paradisa subtheme revival in CITY..

This will establish the train as being owned outright by the City Cargo company. I would also add a delivery by car service set. Those are pretty prominent, especially in the countryside.
