Greenstar Posted June 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Brandon Pea said: Train heists is kinda obvious though and a bit....well....not interesting anymore. I said a bus heist since that'll be very interesting and something brand new for City. Stuffing bags of money and gold inside of a bus. Sorta like this YouTube episode of The Engines of Sodor. Though instead of the train being there, it's just a simple police chase. As for the police armored train, that's something I'd fight for. I'd also fight for a police bus as well. I kinda was hoping for a police bus for this year's wave. But there wasn't one. A police bus would be cool or something similar to the RV from Jurassic Park 2 but for the police instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klaus-Dieter Posted June 12, 2020 I agree with @Brandon Pea that a police bus would be a cool idea, maybe with some kind of riot police officers included: So let's say an updated and much bigger version of 3314. Plus since TLG claims that it is difficult to sell regular City Trains sets, I really do not understand why Lego doesn't release a Fire Train. It would affiliate to the Fire theme and offer much value and much more action than a regular train. It could e. g. look like this model train: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Maybe for kids a decent sized Prison Bus would offer more playbility than a regular police bus: An Armored Bank Securtiy Bus would of course offer a lot of action for a heist, too: And of course a Police Train would be nice, too (til this morning I didn't even know that police trains do exist): TLG could and should see that there are much more possibilities for interesting sets for FOLs of all ages apart from most of the time only releasing the same stuff. Imo the 2017 Police wave (armored bank security van, armored special forces car and police auto transport) and the 2019 Fire wave (fire robot, fire drone, turbo fire truck and fire SUV) were already a step into right direction. So it's really a pity that this year's Police wave and the two Special Forces sets are that a huge step backwards - not only concerning the quality of the majority of the sets, but even their diversity (only the police drone is something special and new).

The Brick Boss Posted June 12, 2020 @Klaus-Dieter Yeah! At this point, there are only a handful of sets I'm impressed with this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toopizza13 Posted June 12, 2020 there should be a city set that includes a mall, with maybe 4 stores, a civilian car, and to satisfy city they could include a robber and mall security Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Brick Boss Posted June 25, 2020 I have some ideas for Octan merch! 8x8 Heavy Wrecker - basically a re-colored version of the heavy wrecker from the 7642 Garage set. Only its in white, red and green and is owned by Octan. Includes Octan version of Harl Hubbs. Mega Service Station - updated version of the 6472 Gas N Wash Express set. Includes small tow truck that's basically a re-colored version of the 7638 Tow Truck into Octan livery. Includes Octan versions of Harl Hubbs and Tread Octane Classic Octan F1 Car Pack - includes updated versions of the 1990s f1 cars. That includes black car number 1, yellow car number 2, red car number 3, white car number 4, blue car number 5 and green car number 6 Tanker Truck - special edition re-release of 60016 Long Tanker Truck - re-release of 3180 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted June 29, 2020 You know what would be cool A "where in the world is carmen sandiego?" type of police wave Instead of being just regular crooks, the bad guys can be an evil organization stealing famous objets from around the world: the Mona Lisa, The Gargoyles From Notre Dame Cathedral, The Statue Of Liberty’s Torch, etc...

TeriXeri Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Well, the Farm theme is sort of here again via a seasonal Halloween set : https://brickset.com/sets/40423-1/Halloween-Hayride It isn't City but the tractor and yellow grille-brick haybales could be used in a farm scene. Based on the box art and piece count, I assume this will be sold at LEGO.com for £11.99 / $12.99 / 12.99€ (same price as the 2020 Birthday and Trophy sets) Of course I'd still love the see an actual farm theme for City, with multiple cow/pig/goat/sheep/horses included.

Vilhelm22 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Here’s an idea. Abolish the trains subtheme. Instead, have trains as one set in a range, like a police train or a fire train (both exist). If farm was brought back for example, you could have a cattle wagon (60052 type), a hay wagon, etc. The classic cargo and passenger trains, plus stations, would appear in cargo and public transport subthemes with sets like 8404 Public Transport and Airport and Harbour subthemes. As you can probably tell, I quite like trains... Anyway, yea or nay? Edited July 3, 2020 by Vilhelm22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you can probably tell, I quite like trains... Anyway, yea or nay? I say yea! If Lego were to go along with that plan, they'd have to make a public transportation subtheme just to put that passenger train somewhere. Of course the cargo train would go under cargo and I would assume that they would make a police train and fire train for police and fire. For airport, I'd recommend sort of a people mover type of train. It can connect two airports together as if it were two different terminals for two different airlines. I think this is a great idea. In fact, I actually had this idea. Abolishing the trains subtheme and separating them into more popular subthemes such as police, fire, airport, cargo, etc would be a much better marketing strategy. Unfortunately, trains apparently don't sell and I kinda blame the fact that they have a dedicated subtheme for trains. Put them under more popular subthemes though and people will buy them. I guarantee that. Btw, I have some ideas for a public transportation subtheme. I'd recommend that the vehicles in this subtheme would be Mountain Police Blue as blue is a great color for transit vehicles. Local Passenger Service - This scene would basically just be an articulated bus and a single bus based on today's 40 foot buses. It would of course include bus bays and civilians along with drivers. The Short Line - This set is basically a shuttle service playset with a mini bus based on today's 30/35 ft buses and a shuttle bus. Could include bus bays and of course civilians Express Service - Its basically a motor coach bus. Commuter Train - A commuter train set based off of the Bombardier M7A multiple unit. Can either be pushed along or powered by Power Functions. Includes oval track layout with station. Streetcar - A push along streetcar with some track Edited July 3, 2020 by Brandon Pea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Brick Boss Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Here are some ideas for a potential cargo wave revival, Lego! Perhaps instead of people in blue overalls, you can introduce a new green torso with the "CARGO" logo on the front and back. Truck & Forklift - updated version of the truck and forklift from 2013. Moutain Heliplane Delivery - follow up to the cargo heliplane from 2013. Ship Dock - either the harbor from 2007 or the harbor from 2011, except its painted in the green and white colors of Cargo vehicles. Freight Train - includes green locomotive with two green and white box cars Edited July 6, 2020 by Brandon Pea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is splitting generic City sets into such sub-themes really necessary, when they contain the City branding? I always thought that one of the good things about sets like 60052 was that you do not need to have farm theme to get elements of farming into a set like the cargo train. The downside of a specific sub-theme is that there is no reason to include a farming wagon, for example, if there is no farm theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why @Vilhelm22 said that it would be better to sell them under more dedicated subthemes like police or fire. On another note, I'm surprised that City hasn't went the police train route yet. A fire train would be cool. MOCs are nice and all, but some people like myself, would like to see how Lego tries their hands at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeriXeri Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) As I already mentioned in City 2020 , if there's a regular forest subtheme of City this would be nice to see as new parts : Deer / Moose / Reindeer in a Forest(men) theme. A Seal or Sealion with the Coastguard theme. Maybe a new tall pine tree variant to be used in a Pine Forest setting , similar size to the old Cypress. Would love to see more tree colors as well, bright green, dark green, light orange, sand blue or white. New colors or parts for cars in transparent to allow different designs (would also benefit Speed Champions) Edited August 2, 2020 by TeriXeri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonwil Posted August 2, 2020 I want to see LEGO do a police crime lab or crime scene set. They can find a way to do it without needing to touch subjects that are a problem such as violence or murder or drugs. You could have a black SUV (if TV has taught me anything, its that crime scene guys drive around in big black SUVs) and maybe a guy with dark sunglasses on.

The Brick Boss Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) @jonwil Every three years, City would release a mobile command center which would kinda act as a lab. Unfortunately we didn't see one this year. Though I'm assuming that the van from the monster truck heist set kinda filled in that void. Overall, I think Lego already knows what they are doing with police sets. Got any ideas for something else other than police? Edited August 2, 2020 by Brandon Pea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted August 2, 2020 I want to see some more retail stores in LEGO City. How about a hardware store? (perhaps with a handyman who builds and fixes things) Or more variety of fast food/food trucks. How about a taco/Mexican truck? Or a place doing chicken wings? Or a Chinese restaurant? Or a Barbecue joint? Or even a Fish & Chip shop or seafood restaurant? How about a butcher or bakery? Or maybe more medical facilities? I dont think we have seen a LEGO optometrist before, that would be neat to see (all those glasses-wearing minifigs have to get their glasses from somewhere) Or what about a music shop? (they have enough instruments these days to pull it off plus they could make something new for it like a violin) Or a nursery full of plants (imagine how many copies they would sell to people looking for plans to bulk up their layouts with :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
