Oh I was about to say. Lord, I hope they don't make them 8-stud wide.

My thing is the vehicles. Personally I prefer the vehicles that were made pre-2024. The 2024 vehicles are too close to Speed Champions and don't really feel unique anymore. That is likely because the guy who did Speed Champions is now with City. I also liked how during the early 2020s, 6 stud wide vehicles were the thing, but at the same time, 4 stud wide wasn't dead as shown with the car wash, 2022 cargo train and many others. The cons of City now is that they seem to be borderlining 8 stud wide territory, which I'm not happy about. City needs to go back to their unique design of vehicle. Starting with the splasher pieces.

No it hasn't. Some recent sets still have 4 stud wide cars. They're rare. But they have them.

My hope is that the f1 cars look like the one in this set only in different colors.

Well.....I guess this counts for an official Lego 2025 leak.

I don't speak for everyone, but No Limits feels like its geared more towards teens and adolescents in contrary to LCA, which is obviously made for kids.

Uh.......proof?

Bro, F1 cars can literally co-exist alongside explorers sets. The natural history museum and detectives office were modulars under the Creator theme. They weren't City.

Don't see why the out-of-the-city sets are a big deal when they can easily be ignored. If you don't want them, simply don't buy. But Lego is going to continue producing them because animal molds are up there with emergency based sets as being subjects that make City a popular theme. Now if you want authentic town related sets, look at the 2021, 2022 and summer 2023 and summer 2024 waves. Buy some of those.

Of course you don't. You love them animal molds.

Their argument is the fact that it is called City, but its set roster consists of large ranges of sets that DON'T take place in the city. I wouldn't say its stupid. I'd say its pointless to even argue about it as Lego has been doing it for a decade and doesn't show any signs of stopping anytime soon.

Since 2014 with the Arctic theme revival I believe.....

Well.....apparently Lego doesn't think so.

I think people say that they should be in their own themes because a lot of those sets are made and they take up space in the City theme (no pun intended) and there is no room to explore other aspects of City life. While I partially agree with them, I also look at it from a child's perspective as being a theme that educates kids on the awesome jobs you can have when you grow up; police officers, firefighters, airplane pilots, sailors, train drivers, race car drivers, astronauts, explorers and doctors. The theme in fact is mostly about real careers that you can't see by simply walking outside your door (i.e. sanitation workers or taxi drivers) and the explorers sets as a whole still hold true to that. I think if anything, the explorers subthemes helped City to evolve rather than go against the initial point of the theme. The trick is to look past the word "CITY" as its not 100% city life.

Its been that way since the 2010s. Then they took a break from 2020 - 2022 while promoting Lego City Adventures. Then it became a mess again. With that being said, LCA kept it together.

DUDE!!!!! I was psyched when I saw the pictures of the tour bus. When I heard there was tour bus set, I was like...."Nah! It'll just be a way of selling another town accessory set!". Lo and behold, when the pictures were revealed this past May, it was a standalone bus set - like something that is part of the Great Vehicles lineup, something I have been asking for for ages now. Thanks to that, I now have hope of seeing a standalone bendy bus. To make matters better, the set came to US shelves in June so I was able to get it on release day. I got that set and the ATV, which is the only jungle set I'm buying. Glad Lego made it easy to snag a Johnny Thunder without having to play the CMF game of trying to hunt him down. Could happen! They'll probably do that alongside space. Yeah! Car wash, I got first. That downtown set broke my town budget, but I needed pieces of it (such as the barber shop, comic store and electronics dept. I also got the ice cream shop and the apartment on clearance. I never got the house or the skate park though. I actually wanted to get a few of those small houses to make a neighborhood in my town, but they were so rare AND I was kinda short on money this past year. I'm kinda on a budget as far as my town is concerned. One of my plans was to grab the modular museum, which Johnny Thunder owns in my town. But I'm a little tight on funds. The urban skate park is another piece I wish to add to my town. I only got five sets this year so far; burger truck, go karts, prison island, tour bus and Johnny Thunder's ATV. I plan to get the auto transport for the cars.

I'll give props to Lego, the City theme hasn't been oversaturated with police every wave like it was during the late 2010s. They seem to have piped down on them a bit.

.....and the other 5 will be space. ......and we got our first standalone bus, which according to Lego Store workers, sold like Ford Explorers from the 90s. At least that gives me hope to see another one soon.

Can't wait for it.

I dunno. Space and anything that has to do with an animal mold are the sellers with City now. So much so that you'll forget that police even exists. I'm betting that we'll see more space in 2025 along with jungle - or some explorer theme. Of course you've got your police, fire and great vehicles. Yeah I think City is back to to where it was before 2020.

That's understandable. I asked because I'm a town builder so I need to know the width. Right now, 8-stud wide is too big for the vehicle size limit in my town, so I think I'll pass. But its a nice set for kids to play with though, which is obviously the targeted audience.

Is it 6 stud wide or 8 stud wide?

I think the trains subtheme for City needs to be dropped. I'm going to put how I think trains should be distributed through the City theme by quoting my good buddy @Vilhelm22 on what he said in the Ideas For New Lego City Sets forum on page 69 of that forum. "......The trains subtheme in itself shouldn’t be a thing. Stations and passenger trains should be part of a public transport subtheme (we could easily have enough to make with a couple more sets) whilst cargo trains would be in a cargo subtheme. Cranes and lorries would be part of this too. I feel like beyond the standard trains others could be parts of other subthemes as well. For a start, fire trains do exist, even if rare. A maintenance of way (MOW) train could be in the construction subtheme. A car transporter train could be for some great vehicles type thing. Circus trains have existed in the past. Hospital trains also have existed - particularly in wartime - a prime preserved example can be found at the National Railway Museum, York, UK (arguably the best railway museum globally, as trains were basically invented by the British). RPOs (Railway Post Offices) were big in the USA for years. Fuel train for Octan. Even prisoner transport trains exist. NASA had a train at one stage. It’s never going to happen, but a train could easily be added to every subtheme, and the trains theme abolished".

Lego City PD is around the corner! RUN!!!!!!

Took a break from Lego for the month of May and just getting back into it. Those construction vehicles are awesome, but are too big for my town so I don't think I'll be buying any. I agree though, those new uniforms look nice. I may see if I could just get some of those on the Lego website through Bricks and Pieces.
