Mr. Elijah Timms Posted November 30, 2014 For my fellow impatient Americans, the US Lego Shop site is listing the following sets as "Coming Soon On 1 Dec 2014:" 60065 ATV Patrol 60075 Excavator and Truck 60082 Dune Buggy Trailer 60083 Snowplow Truck Have to also think that if the official site's rolling them out this week, then TRU won't be far behind.

Mr. Elijah Timms Posted December 2, 2014 Just picked up the SnowPlow in TRU. Also had the Dune Buggy and Speed Boat sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I found the instructions for 60075 and discovered a new 2x4 modified axle brick being used for the tipper truck. Might see if I can find anything else new. Edit - 60083 has a play feature similar to the cement truck that when you push the vehicle along a spinning gear acts as a salt spreader.

lightningtiger Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) This might interest us city fans,,,,,,,,,http://www.lego.com/...ers/night-shift At the six second mark you'll see a female swamp police officer and at the nine second mark in the back ground the construction truck minus port-a-loo.......of which at the end of the trailer the guy in charge yells out Hey......the most common thing a minifig must say is Hey !

paul_delahaye Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) My local independant Toy shop in Farnham had the smallest 4 demolition sets, I must admit, the blue truck, grapel loader and conveyor was priced at £35 which is a little more than I expected for this set. But that truck is lovely, Although I'll wait until after Christmas for that one. For the time being I just picked up 60072 and 60073 Edited December 20, 2014 by paul_delahaye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BatonMedved Posted December 20, 2014 One of the most uninteresting years for me... Why is almost everything is out of scale? I mean, a beach buggy wider than a full size truck, seriously? Dozer got a better scale, but still oversized. Same with snow plow. I can understand long-term evolution from 4-wide classics to 6-wide standard, but then keep vehicles same scale, if you need a more expensive set don't just do an overblown vehicle - add some structures to it, be creative ftw. Isn't its the point of the city that everything should fit together? And then you have a 4x4 which is wider than half of road on a city baseplate... Will buy only excavator + truck, probably toilet vehicle. My only serious city investment this year is only the detectives office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricknblue Posted December 20, 2014 LEGO City hasn't fit together in many years. No one had road plates anymore so LEGO just makes models that look nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this is a gripe of yours, maybe off the shelf toys isn't your thing? No offense man, but Lego isn't going to follow some strict standard like that. These are designed for kids, they don't care. As long as the sets look good(which warrants different widths) and plays well, kids will always want them. May i suggest building your own to scale vehicles. This is what being an AFOL is about my man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob1321 Posted December 20, 2014 Lego is really difficult to scale. I think we need to stop trying to get everything to be as realistic as possible. It's lego and we need to learn how to embrace that. There are other hobbies such as model building and miniature house kits which can provide much more realism if desired. I've been guilty of trying to get lego to be "real" but that's just not possible. It's plastic brcks. Take it for what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted December 21, 2014 Scale has been an issue for years, though the reason is simple......each designer is different, you can check the number plate stickers to see who designed that particular set. Now at least the new bulldozer is more city like, not unlike the 2009 one which would be used just for open cut mining ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still Raindrop Posted December 22, 2014 The problem I have with the Swamp Police is the same problem I had with the Forest Police a few years back: jurisdiction. In the USA, at least, the police are the law enforcement force that oversee a city, whereas the sheriff's office oversees a county. It seems like these rural areas would be more the jurisdiction of the sheriff than the police. It's not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to get some cars with "Sheriff" stickers for my (on-again, off-again) mountain town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfbat Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Just found this on Brickset...... Must be to join the ride-on mower from a year ago. I have already LDD it....reverse engineering, though some if was guess work. Spotted that one too last night. I've got something to do these days, besides lazing round the house for the holiday season... Oh, look what turned up on Brickset....... Don't mind much for the umptieth 4x4 of this design, but that plane is very well executed! Anyway: the first 2015 sets have turned up over here in the Netherlands. Saw a complete diorama of the police and demolition site in a store, too, with moving parts. Looked nice, and the construction toys do look better in real life than on the pictures - spare for that loo-truck, which still doesn't do that much for me. Bought none, because they only had the larger or not very interesting smaller sets. Edited December 22, 2014 by jfbat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted December 22, 2014 I don't mind another pick up truck......a little better than the last one and the plane is very nice.....a smaller version of that monster police sea plane from the late 00's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moebius118 Posted December 22, 2014 Scale has been an ongoing issue with me too since I tend to use the Lego city vehicles with my modulars. I typically just avoid vehicles that appear to scale poorly however I would like to see how oversized this bulldozer would actually be in comparison to the buildings. I may end up only getting 60073 if the bulldozer is unrealistically large. Need that portoloo. NEED. I have been holding it in for too long now. I'm going to explode.

lightningtiger Posted December 23, 2014 I can't wait until someone does a side by side of both 2009 and 2015 Bulldozers........there might be a shock in store......my gut tells me the 2015 one is smaller.....even just by a little. Also that pick up/police plane set more likely be a store exclusive.....who though is anyone's guess ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfbat Posted December 23, 2014 I'm already trying to build my own version of that seaplane. Might have to go to the store for some, eh, "replenishments"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
