Since 2020, all city series are bad except these sets 60253 - Ice-cream Truck 60271 - Main Square (it's not a good set, it's only just OK!) 30569 - Lego Stand 30588 - Kids playground The rest of the sets are overprice, and the City is definitely going to wrong direction Always Police station, fire station, Hospital Another issues Lego is thinking More pieces = more details = better look .. it's completely wrong direction - look at the fire bridage this year - it's completely joke - out of scale.... how can these brigade are moving around in the city/town It's devasted to see Lego City is in the wrong direction but still some people are "selling" they are good ........... When I started to play Lego 40 years+, those sets are looking much better than what we are seeing nowadays... I am not a person NOT willing to buy new concept, or new type of bricks - I love the idea for Dot series, Friends series mixing in my town/city Friends series is completely KO City series now... How on earth is Friends series is getting better, and improving in this 5-10 years, City series is going backwards and getting from bad to worst? (Plus, I definitely don't want to talk about the new road system since 2021....)

I haven't said some "wow" modular sets for a while.. finally I can say it for this set.. I don't like the Police station. The 3-block buildings looks so ugly The Hotel looks good individually, however it's looks bad when it's join to other modular, never make sense This one.. it's kind of "back to normal". The buildings looks good, it can join to other easily.. there are so many + in there However as the Lego sets are so expensive now.. I won't buy it until they will have discount in department stores

Thanks so much Lego, like the sets in 2022, absolutely bad sets, poor design/repeating design.. I won't need to spend any cents for city series in 2023! (oh yeah.. forget all this sets would be 20%+ RRP than similar sets compare to 2022 or earlier!)

Sounds interesting for the Grocery stores and Framer Market Van... However since the products are that horrible for 2021 and 2022 (some of these sets sound good for the names), I don't take any hopes for these sets until we would see the real pictures for these sets.

I think you don't understand what I mean of "childish" As a Lego fans for more than 40 years - the sad thing to see the City sets now, is moving backwards - "Childish" is all these sets looks like it's for 4+, Junior not the one we would like to see for 6 or 7 years old (looks like "Senior" Duplo) That's a photo I want to show in here..... I have no idea why some people are still keep saying needs to take positive for the school set.. oh the school bus looks ok. Actually the school bus is NOT ok. I saw this photo in Facebook market last night and It just remind me Lego had been released a school bus. That's the school bus for Lego Friends 2016, which looks much better than the City one next year. The City one looks like extremely downgrade compare to this one. (That's why I am keep saying that we need to compare City vs City, City vs Town, or even City vs Friends.. otherwise that's meaningless) That's another example, Lego City House 2010 vs Lego City Family House 2021 The one in 10 years earlier is completely beat the new one so easily! That's why I would say, the City nowadays is heading in completely wrong direction and look at the bank 3661 in 2011.................. The new one looks extremely ugly and poor! Police station in 2008, set 7744 how on earth for the Police station nowadays compare to this function, and unique Police Station? The next question I want to ask is: Why the City school is for 6 years old and looks like for 4+ - and the moon base is for 7 years old and looks like the products for 7 years old (and why nearly everyone in here agree the design, looking for this set is extremely good)? Will these sets also saying "City Series in 2022"? If you put more Lego pieces for new sets, needs to put them smarter, not ugly, bulky like what we'll see next year

looks extremely bulky, ugly, childish for the city centre pictures... my opinion is completely downgrade from the City series before years 2017 (again, I am compare with City vs City or City vs Vintage Town series, not from any AFOL view, that's meaningless) And the Friends series is running far ahead of City series now............. Only the moonbase sets looks ok

If you match this one with other creator modular buildings except The Police Station, you will find out that's a big issue in the layout, The 2nd level of the hotel will have a really small gap to face the wall of other modular buildings. It looks extremely odd/ugly if you put this hotel next to Assembly Square I am not surprised for your point of views, it's totally understandable. I own all the creator modular buildings except The Fire Station and the Police Station. The price could be another crucial issues too, the cost/pieces is really high for this sets too except Police Station. As I said, I won't be against this set (compare to The Police Station), it's only a bit above average individual Creator Modular.. plus it is not so good to join the other creator modular together...... I would only buy it if that's some good discount

That's totally understandable. I think it's odd too if you put this one next to old modulars, that's why I won't buy it first, until that's some good discount. The pattern would look extremely odd except you put it next to Police Station - which I have no interested for this modular.

Good but not great. First at least much better than the police station last year - nearly the worst of the whole series Good thing is looking a creator modular There would be 3 issues that someone in here is talking about 1) The Art Gallery is too small, and the shape of the Art Gallery looks bad - it's not easy to stuck with other modulars 2) The Hotel shape is not really good, so it's hard to upgrade 3) If you have Cafe Corner and have been upgraded to a hotel, (like me), will you buy it? that's doubt I think I would buy it if that's discount for this set, but definitely not the one I would say, "Wow"

If you are counting Ninjago sets, I know a lot of people get crazy because they love the "robot cartoon" as they were kids Understand what you mean!

I have been thinking to post this one up in individual post - or should I need to post it under my town project But after I have seen the City School in 2022, I decide to create a new post about my school Background of this project - as I still love the 80s and 90s styles town buildings - also after I read the Lego Design Book 200 in 1985. I have been dreaming to build a school in my town/city. Lego friends had been released 2 schools before this year and I never think it would suit for the my town layout. However when I see the Friends school this year - 41682, the colour and the design looks classic town so I decided to create my school in my town. I have bought 2 sets of 41682 + some of the friends earlier sets + some dots series + minimum additional bricks (like go back to "close top roof") to create a 4-level, 8 classroom school - and turn it back to Town style of school Please have a look... and hope you guys will enjoy my classic + model idea for the school

I used google to see the translation of your message.. After I read it, I couldn't stop laughing!! xD Lego earns a lot of money in this 2 years, one of the reason is Covid that people cannot move around, once when this issues would be solved.. some companies like this - as manufacturing the products like this would be in big troubles again

yes, that's why I don't want to compare City with Creator Modular. If you see some of my posts in here, you will see my Town/City, there are a lot of 80s and 90s style Town buildings... I still have some early City series That's why I am keep comparing with City (2022) vs (2006/2007/2008 etc), not other series, otherwise, that's meaningless! I haven't bought any City series 2021 and only ice cream truck for City series in 2020... It's horrible to see in the City series in department stores now.

absolutely agree what you said about The Friends apartment.. and can be easily amended to put it in any Town/City layout!

yes, and keep reminding to everyone, I am not expecting the City series is completed with "Creator Modular". Creator Modular is completely different style of buildings, concept, etc compare to the City Series I am expecting City series is City series (could be playable for 7s like when we were kids).. like at what they have been restarted the city series again around 2007/2008. those products were for 5s to 7s kids..... Am I expected too much? Why do they drop the standard of City series so horribly? Especially since about 5 years ago.. when they started to release Police series (ugly products too) every years...
