Yeow

I'm on this website to talk to other adult fans about Lego. I'm not going to stop myself from criticizing something because it's designed for kids because I don't care about seeing it from a kids perspective. Those under 18 aren't even allowed on this board in the first place, so if you're upset about seeing adult tiered complains, then you're on the wrong forum.

I know police boats have always been on the simpler side, but I'm really not seeing a lot of differences here. Might be time to party like it's 1999. And without fail, someone has to post saying Lego City is for kids like it's some big unknown mystery.

I can't help but be annoyed at the massive tires they insist on using for the fire 18 wheeler and the prisoner transport. They look awful and I'm sure they will cause the prices of the sets to rise as well. The town center and the modern house seem great in theory, but I can't help but think they needed an extra $10 to fill them out a bit more. They just seem a bit hollow out of the box to me, but I suspect that the roads take up a lot of parts budget. Right now the only must buy sets for me out of this wave are the camper and the tractor, which as a big city fan, is pretty disappointing. Maybe Town Centre as well once Amazon uh, adjusts the price a bit.

Something is getting replaced. Lego only has so much shelf space and only produces so many sets per year. If Trolls sets exist, they're taking up part of that. Consumers have the right to be worried about what a company is doing. Here's something else that's really simple: if you don't like the negative comments, don't read them

It's like you didn't even read what I said and are just regurgitating the same argument I was complaining about. I'm quite aware Lego designers do not have AFOLs in mind, it has no bearing on my opinion of the set.

The amount of people here and on other sites that respond to any criticism that people have by saying "yOu HaVe tO kEeP iN mInD tHeSe aRe DeSiGnEd FoR kIdS". is quite annoying. Everyone knows that these sets are designed for kids, you're not revealing some big secret by pointing this out. Just because kids are the main target audience doesn't mean we're not allowed to have opinions on the sets.

Gotta say, I'm really disappointed in 60239 Police Car. I was hoping to at least use the stickers to make my own 4 wide variant, but that hood sticker is just so large... I don't necessarily hate 6 wide builds, because Speed Champions has some amazing designs, but City 6 wide cars just don't have the budget to be good or unique. At least some of the Fire Trucks this year are really well done.

DO is now showing temporary out of stock and BB is backordered, but you can still get it.

This one interests me, but that vehicle so massive! It's like the MRAP from 60140: Bulldozer Break-In on steroids. That plus the VTOL aircraft it comes with will make that a scary price point. Burger bar rescue looks interesting, as does the combine harvester carrier. They redid 4209: Fire Plane as well, but that's a pass for me, but the construction site rescue with the longer fire truck might be alright.

I'm super excited for this one and will be picking it up despite the less than ideal price point. I've wanted this one ever since it was first revealed back in the day, and while 7747 Wind Turbine Transport from City was a pretty good substitute, it wasn't quite the same, but it was like $400 USD cheaper.

Evergreen doesn't mean that it's exempt from ever being cancelled. Bionicle was considered an evergreen theme at one point, and we know how that turned out.

Isn't it too early for another police theme already? The last few police stations were released 2011, 2014, 2017 with secondary police themes (Forest, Swamp, Mountain) being released a year later in 2012, 2015, and 2018. If they are continuing to follow this pattern, we shouldn't be due for another police theme until 2020. However, the last Fire sets were released 2010, 2013, and 2016, so we definitely should get a fire theme in 2019.

Prices are absolutely out of control. I was interested in it, but not $380 USD worth of interested.

Outside of a few polybags and a couple D2C/retailer exclusive sets, we already know everything that is going to be released this summer. Winter/Spring 2019 would be the earliest we could see a new CCBS theme.

wrong thread, sorry.
