TeriXeri

sorry from the front it looked like bear cub but from the side its definately a baby cat , so black panther.

Noodle shop pictures are up , looks like a return to the old Corner-Deli, optionally hinged with a corner sidewalk even had a living room in the back in the same spot with a big chair. 2016 Corner Deli pic for reference. Flesh colored walls are interesting. Bike Shop as alternate is a big throwback for sure (2014 bikeshop cafe / garage alternate) and the other alternate being an Arcade with an amazing build controller on top of the roof, so good! I don't mind repeats in 3-in-1 as much as the builds are still very different, 3-in-1 in the past 8 year or so, across all the alternate builds had a few cafes, flower shops, bike shop/garage, toy shops etc, and now also Arcade (alternate from 2018 skate house)

City actually has a Surprise Spaceship :

Pictures are UP on JB spielwaren now ! via https://www.stonewars.de/angebote/lego-juni-neuheiten-bei-jb-spielwaren/ The concept of those 3 Mission sets is FANTASTIC, amazing value , and this is only €30 (each) , Parts pack, minifigures, accesoires, and a cool build to start out from. Also new animal variants for police dog, baby croc, baby black panther*, owl and a new hare?

Passenger Train, impressive ! ! It's like a mix of TGV and Shinkansen , to me this looks like the best Town/City passenger train LEGO has done in like the last 20+ years. The only downside I see is that it's only half a train with 1 locomotive, but the 2018 train had that too.

That supermarket is pretty nice for a City set! , much bigger compared to the shops in the 2021 Shopping Street or previous shop like the Donut shop set. It looks complete, and those 4 wide car and forklift are very town-esque and the little car even had doors It has no roof but I think that's a fine compromise for access to interior/play, something Friends sets/shops have done for 10 years. Also there's a figure with a prostethic leg. I also like the crate with the bottles, and the way to add/remove crates from the forklift entrance, having worked in a supermarket myself for a while long ago.

It's also not listed with a piece count on other sites, pretty strange.

No need to be sorry for being critical I'm very selective on what LEGO sets as well.

Not only that, those scooters are even illegal on the road in UK and The Netherlands for example. But either way, that fact doesn't stop me from liking this set, to me LEGO always has been some fantasy world anyway. I'd probably use it as an Electric Bicycle charge station instead.

Ok, so it WAS a minifig pack (was pretty much the only possibility with such a set number and 50 pieces but @LCP reported it first) 2021 did not have a City themed one but 2022 certainly does. 40526 Electric Scooters & Charging Dock €12,99 / $12,99 June 1st (image sourced directly from LEGO.com, but it's also on Brickset now) Nice to see medium legs are used more and more.

That's the one I listed, as the last used City minifig pack, 2019 had the Space and Summer packs too.

405xx sets currently are used for : GWP Minifig packs LEGO exclusive Creator sets (like sunflowers or small vespa) Xtra polybags also used 404xx so new ones likely will have 405xx or 406xx if they continue as well It's very likely this will be LEGO exclusive, but might even be LEGOLAND exclusive as well as 2018-2021 LEGOLAND sets used the 404xx and 403xx range which is basicly shared by a lot of those exclusive set types.

The only 405xx sets that would fall under City would be minifig accesoire packs like last seen for City theme in 2020. (40372: Police MF Accessory Set) 405xx is currently used for sets under Creator (not 3-in-1 or expert) Or Gift With purchase , and minifig packs. Examples : 40517: Vespa (LEGO exclusive Creator) 40524: Sunflowers (LEGO exclusive Creator) 40529: Children's Amusement Park (GWP) 40530: Jane Goodall Tribute (GWP) 40558: Clone Trooper Command Station (LEGO Exclusive Minifg pack) 40500: Wizarding World Minifigure Accessory Set (LEGO Exclusive Minifg pack) City uses 30xxx range for Polybags, 60xxx range for sets and 66xxx for Bundle sets. Something with 50 pieces is probably a minifig pack.

Also there is this big €139,99 Stunt Show set yet it only lists 598 pieces , it's called Double Loop so maybe some very big parts making up those loops ? Another set is called Chimpanzee Loop as well.

I'm still mainly hoping those 3 mission sets will be anything interesting. Promobricks list them as cheaper now at €29,99 too, which seems reasonable for 250-300 pieces depending on what it is.

Very very early, but so far it seems a 2023 31133 White Rabbit set name/number has appeared, 258 pieces Not a huge surprise considering 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit Shouldn't be too long before pictures of the 2022 Submarine and Noodle Shop sets either.

The chicken coop set isn't that bad, the quad does have the turning wheels which is a bonus, 3 chicken would've been nicer of course, but it could easily have been some 40 piece build instead of the 101 pieces it has now, I like the small details like the roof looks to be only attached with 2 stud for easy removal, the window doors etc, the 4+ farm building looks a bit more simple due to the lack of the door window shutters to be fair. As for the choice of the egg piece, LEGO has done quite a few (3 between 2015 and 2020) Easter sets with a mini chicken coop or nest with small eggs, or even both in the same set, the 2020 Easter Bunny House set had a small coop with a collection door for small eggs and a 6-egg pack on the scooter. Honestly I'm personally fine with both pieces. In this case City , larger eggs probably make more fun to play with, while for display and scale, the smaller Bionicle Barakki eyes work better Even this year LEGO used small eggs for turtle nest, and large eggs for throwing at the police in the mobile command set with splat pieces and a mini tractor. I don't think there's a real pattern here, but I didn't expect small eggs after LEGO making splat pieces and big chicken eggs being used in that set. (Snake Rattler even moreso foreshadowed the farm theme imo with his farm tractor and outfit) And honestly it's a cool farmer figure regardless : That set (60315: Police Mobile Command Truck) has been consistently on sale, so will probably pick it up soon, the mini tractor is pretty nice as well, and the blue color scheme of that set could even be remade into some farm trailer. As a bonus, the 4+ farm reminds me a lot of the style of 31078: Tree House Treasures , and it could easily fit well together , even if you remove the tree and pirate themed stuff and turned into a small extension to the chicken coop, doghouse, or rabbit house, or something, also those window shutters could be put into the 4+ farm doors instead.

Those farm sets certainly are an improvement over this old farm/thanksgiving build from 2017, especially the Corn and Pumpkins. Friends Tree Planting vehicle set would still be a good expansion to this subtheme, and it's a more classic pickup truck style build. LEGO certainly loves it's big Carrot builds this year as well, Moon Cake Factory Rocket, Friends Vegetable Food Stand and now this Greenery City Van.

At least that 4+ farm is still "reasonably" priced (in Euro). Ok there aren't a lot of pieces for building but it didn't cheap out on the number of figures/accesoires and animals. It's not cheap but with some discount I can see it easily see it sold for under €40.

It is, from the back of the box (source brickset) For a 4+ set this is very good indeed.

Some old falcons used red plumes, many used red hips. This Falcon figure was even using a red torso : Sure, most falcon figures are known for Blue/Black torsos with the classic falcon logos, but red for an armored falcon figure isn't out of place to me looking at the sets, Knight's Castle also had a red gate. I don't know the exact lore but Falcons used black armored knights (some with red accents) before and during the black knight era, maybe the Black Monarch was some split off faction (or overseas as Falcon/Black Knight only seem to be together in 2 boat sets) Overall I think that falcon red short cape torso is not out of place when compared to older Falcon figs with red plumes or hips, and torso print could be covered up with a plate armor and still be "historic" , Chainmail under Plate was a thing. Certainly a lot better compared to the "Pirate" shirt in the 3-in-1 set. The new 3-in-1 set Vikings using more leather-like padded/banded armor is nice variation as well.

That's an awesome torso for sure as a Black Falcon Lord , King, Prince or just high ranked Knight (it's never really defined if they had a King, but there was a Knight's Castle) Basicly a very modern variant to this:

The 2021 Tractor is 5+ and looks great and not juniors at all. That said, a Barn and some fences don't need to be a complex build (see 2009) lineup I do hope most budget goes into the barn and side build like the rumored corn pieces. I don't think a grain silo would add much in the current scene with no harvester being sold currently, but it did make sense in 2009 set, and 2011 even had a grain ship. I'd rather get more hay bales and corn pieces instead of a large empty silo. Knowing it's City, and 4+ another type of farm vehicle seems pretty certain, small tractor with trailer would only need a few pieces if it's a simple tractor with no cab like the Disney set, and a trailer would only need a few pieces to have a small bucket or flatbed as well.

That BAM wizard is very nice, a mix of multiple older figures, yet not a straight up copy, and overall very detailed. 1995 Majisto/Wiz : 2014 CMF Series 12: 2016 Merlok (Book exclusive Nexo Knights): The western/cowboy parts are very interesting as well.

There has not been a subtheme with 4+ as the biggest set , but maybe LEGO considers 60347 Supermarket part of the theme (farm is 60346) , even with a different release date 1 month earlier. Or maybe there's 1 more exclusive not known set , i remember the Wildlife Camp and Rocket Launch base not being known initially at first as well, both pretty much LEGO exclusives here. There will also be Train sets which are listed at €100 , €150 , €180 , and another €140 Stunt show set. With 3 stunt bikes, 3 train sets, 5 more stunt sets, 3 mission sets, this summer wave isn't small, beside the 3 farm sets and supermarket.
