The Island Chronicles

EXACTLY!!!!! My other point is that certain things haven't even been given a fair chance. Police sets get plenty of chances because they get a new darn police theme released every year. Subthemes that I believe have potential like a News subtheme or a Metro Transit subtheme aren't even given a fair chance. The latter two can only be seen in traces and so far, only two sets have ever been released that really showcase the transit system and those are sets number 8404 and 60154.

@MAB On top of that. why do you keep following me around? Leave me alone and don't stalk me!

Except we haven't seen a construction site in years.

Missing the point. The ones you mentioned were under fixed subthemes. And please don't reference buildings that have been long removed from the shelves because those don't really count anymore.

Direct them to Speed Champions and other Lego themes like Star Wars, DC or Marvel then. But don't do that with City. City's main focus needs to be on buildings.

@MABIt seems like my ideas are the only ones that get contradicted. I'm talking about a collection of unthemed buildings for the City theme. You know? Like set 60204 Hospitak? That one wasn't really put under a particular subtheme. It was practically just a random building. A good one at that. That's what I mean by Great Buildings. City made buildings that aren't really under one of the fixed subthemes.

Noooooo! I'm speaking of the race subtheme that was part of town back in the 90s. https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/Race

Coast Guard has nothing to do with the police, except being a rescue based subtheme. Otherwise, the coast guard team in City seems to be exclusive to only emergency situations regarding an injured beach goer or stranded sailor. And the regular police sets that come out every three years were the only police sets under City at that time. What are you talking about? And you can't count Space Police because that was it's own theme. I think this conversation is over. Goodnight!

You know theme what I want to see revived? Outback? That one will likely be revived under City though since it was originally a subsidiary of City back in the early 90s. Sports ? is another one I'd like to see rebooted. But that one is also likely to be revived under City - which I can tolerate as it would make sense. I would also request Paradisa ?and Race ?, but Friends has practically taken over as the Paradisa successor and as for Race....I think that's what City is bringing back in 2020.

Hmmm..... How about Great Buildings? It could be like Great Vehicles only with buildings.

I'm talking specifically about subthemes under City. Fyi. What I'm saying is that City would still be up top even though they don't have special police themes under it. Back in 2008, it was still one of the top 5. So yeah!

@Lego David I wouldn't argue. They are bent on defending the state of City sets. They are basically part of that "Defend Special Police and Explorers" group. That's the group that claim that these things are not pointless or irrelevant and that they sell, but fail to provide evidence that it sells.

@toopizza13 You know someone who works for Lego?

@Ronan54 One problem! That's literally from almost a decade ago! Things have likely changed drastically since. Lego is getting a bigger and bigger adult audience day by day.

@Lego David Notice how they haven't answered.

@toopizza13 You mean 2016's passenger terminal? That one was great. I loved its look. They should do something similar with the cargo terminal. How about a limo and a taxi instead of a car?

@Digger of Bricks Eh.....knowing City, they'll probably make it present day related. But along with that, I also have an idea for a flagship set. Here is. 60301 Shopping District - This would basically establish the some of the shops and restaurants in Lego City. Buildings included; a pizzeria front, small grocery store front, two story department store front and post office front. Vehicles included; pizza car, food transporter, limo and postal van. Minifigures included: pizza chef, grocery store owner, chauffeur, postal worker, pizza deliverer (nod to Pepper from Lego Island anyone?), truck driver and various civilians.

Tbh, that's not really an unpopular opinion. Go on YouTube, Facebook, MeWe and any other forms of social media and you'll find out that others agree with that. The only people I've met who either get triggered by that argument are here on Eurobricks.

@Lego David ..or put them together for that matter. Saw the space sets and though the summer sets say 7+, I see more targeting towards adults. Fire sets, I can really let slide as we usually only see those every three years. I mean for Pete's sake. The police story just isn't interesting anymore. Its the same thing every year; cops car chases, crooks breaking in, stealing all the gold. We see that all the time. It doesn't really matter the environment the police are in, you practically see the same thing you see in the city police sets that come out every three years (which are the ONLY police sets I like). Police no longer forwards the plot, instead causing it to stop. Fan service is what its become.

Subtheme Idea: Mail 60272 Scooter Delivery 4+ - includes scooter, 1 postal worker minifig, mail box and civilian. 60273 Air Mail - includes mail plane, control tower and 2 minifigs. 60274 Mail Train - includes two car mail train, oval track layout, forklift and three minifigs. 60275 Post Office - includes post office building, two postal workers, one civilian and mail van. 60276 Post By Sea - includes large ship with three minifigs

They should bring the cargo and airport subthemes back for summer 2020. Those were great sellers and actually had something to do with city life unlike those explorers and special police subthemes.

@Ronan54 Lego targets adults too.

My latest issue still has the prices. But it says Fall 2019 though fall hasn't come yet.

@KotZ No. I want CITYfied buildings like the building options they give you in the first My City game.
