    I have the original LEGOLAND Public Works Center 6383 set from 1981. So it's ongoing of 41 years that there hasn't been a construction company set. Obviously in the minority, but LEGO CITY's direction is a mess. New sets being released are either driven by their animated shows or are just sets that don't sell well(because the idea is just silly and a attempted money grab). LEGO CITY needs to stop pumping out Police, Firefighters, Police chases, etc. sets every year. Come out with some good Police and Fire station sets letting those sit well with LEGO Fans. Let us get back to roots like Construction, Farming, Parks/Camping, etc. Most of all, stop cutting corners with so many sets. They are giving us less and making the cost more!

    We need new road construction machine sets. Would like to see a dump truck/front loader backhoe(with a newly introduced digger arm shovel and smaller molded hydraulic cylander pieces) combo set with 4 workers and some construction barricades.

    LEGO just doesn't make up colors for vehicle/machines. They base it off colors of real vehicles/machines. It works for the mobile crane, but sorry not for other construction machines. LEGO would never make that color scheme a standard for construction machines.

    Blue/Yellow works for the mobile crane, but it wouldn't look right for other construction machines. Maybe you could do it with a cement mixer, but not with the other construction machines I mentioned. The dark yellow should be applied to the other construction machines if they release new ones. The lighter yellow color just looks outdated.

    I'm with you on that. A lot of the construction sets are outdated. There hasn't been much other than the recent mobile crane and skid loader. A new dump truck, backhoe, excavator, front loader, cement mixer, high rise crane and road construction crew would be nice. Maybe have some of those combined in a high rise building set that just has steel framing structure. The USA needs infrastructure fixed and rebuilt. It would be a nice theme to bring back to LEGO City. Kids always like construction machines, as that goes through generation to generation.

    A Front Loader Backhoe with a Dump Truck, would be a good construction set to release. Price it around $50-60 that includes some workers, construction tools and new road plate pieces. The mobile crane is good, but the cement mixer I don't count because that was a 4+ set.

    This is just speculation on my part. With SC 2022 being so secretive and rumors that it could be delayed, I'm wondering if the Lamborghini Countach could be a 2 car set(with both the original and the new one)? I'm also wondering, if the March release is still on time, then why hasn't there been any sort of leaked pics by now?

    Just saw the new Modern Family House with the road plate, is $60 and not $50. I'm not sure I'm gonna get it now because I think $60 is way too much.

    This is my own design of a JCB 3CX 14. I have made some changes since this pic with a gray backhoe shovel, black roof and outside mirrors for the cab. What do you all think?

    My bad, got my thinking messed up. This upcoming Truck Dumper and the last, were 4+ age group. 2019 Construction Loader was good, but they need to follow up on that. What I don't understand is the a Front Loader Backhoe is common place in all city road construction. Lego released one set in '84 and '92, but have not done so since as a single set. It would nice to see a new one or see a backhoe/dump truck set.

    This looks incredible! I most definitely would buy this if it were an actual LEGO set! Do you have any MOC's of a Front Loader Backhoe for a City scale?
  12. DanOfBricks
    The last two LEGO City Construction releases were age 4+ and kind of weak even for that lower targeted age group. I know I'm in the minority, but Construction sets are overdue for some new ones. I think it would be good timing with the new 112 piece road set coming out. I have a JCB Front-Loader Backhoe I would like to introduce(still needs some minor changes). But as I said, Construction sets would be in the minority.
