More Ideas: Office - includes three floor office building with easy to remove floors (complete with lobby, Mayor Fleck's office, and some other cubicles), limo, private chopper, Mary Sinclair and Mayor Solomon Fleck. New Character Introduced: Dell McDesktop, a disgruntled typist who works at the office. Auto Repair Shop - includes repair shop that is about the same size as the tuning worshop - only its white and owned by the Octan Corporation (complete with repair shed, gantry lift and waiting area), 8x8 Octan wrecker nod to the wrecker in this set and two cars to repair. New Character Introduced: Freon Octane, Tread Octane's sister who works for the Octan Coorporation and a staunch EV supporter - something that makes her not get along with her brother. Transit Center - includes bus terminal building (complete with lobby/waiting area, office/information area, bathroom, second floor lounge and clock), blue city bus with four wheels based on 40 foot low floor buses of today. New Characters Introduced: Sir Alexander Dennis - the head of the entire transit system.

New Characters Introduced: Lexus and Mercedes Ford, a married lesbian couple who own the car dealership. @Aanchir I remember you saying that you wanted more LGBT representation in City sets. Will this suffice? News Station - includes a two story new station owned by TV 6+ (complete with lobby area and second floor broadcasting room), news van, a drone and Gabby DeCamera

On another note, just2good brought up a valid point on his video about the air transport sets. What the designers of City sets do isn't really based on what children love. I say REALLY as in "it's not fully". He stated that it's mostly parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles who buy these things for the little boys in their lives and I would assume that if my son or nephew wanted something City related, they'd want some type of vehicle over some type of stationary infrastructure. That's what Lego as a whole based their sets off. The mindset that adults have when assessing what a child would want to play with as opposed to what they wouldn't. I say boys though because City seems to target them. Girls have Friends. No sexism intended. With that being said, I'm definitely accelerating my ideas for City sets to try to have them pushed. Wish me luck. Otherwise, he also stated that City has given up on Cargo planes. I wouldn't say that. We may not have seen a decent sized cargo jet since 2016. But I doubt they've given up. Though i do have to admit that recently.... they do seem to be rather hesitant to promote action within then City compared to action outside of the the city. I say promote as in give subthemes to them.

Another streetcar anyone? How about one that looks similar to the DC Streetcar? Could be possible for a future public transportation related subtheme for City or part of a mega set or Trains wave.

There was a little platform that came with the passenger train. But that wouldn't do in my book. I also was kinda hoping for an updated train station for 2018. Another level crossing too. I think Lego should release more accessories for trains such as separate engines, train cars, engine sheds, stations, etc. That system was so awesome back in 2003. Lego should really consider going back to that for trains.

Yeah! They've done Winter Village train stations too.

Too true ol chap! When I want the best of both worlds from a build, I turn to Creator. I have every house from Creator and some shops. I know this may sound weird coming from me, but I would like to see the designers of Creator 3in1 try their hands at a police station. That would be something I'd pay to see. I bet that one would be the first in a while to impress me.

Ah....Diesel 10. Haven't seen that guy on the show in ages. I wonder why they don't use him often.

Tbh, I might get the 4+ airport before I get the regular City airport.

Hopefully the Lego stores here in the state of Virginia open up soon too. Maryland is opening up non-essential businesses soon too. The bible belt is also doing so. America is slowly opening back up.

Nice

Whoa! That's flamin'. Love what you did with the cab by making enough room for the entire squad.

I'm having the same thing.

I guess they used that compartment for the car.

Are you serious? It doesn't have a proper luggage compartment, but the Friends one does? Now you can tell that there is no excuse there. They could've stuck one in there.

A nice job well done! I love that grocery store MOC.

I agree! Square head fits more. Not to mention its also a common sense type of thing.

Superb theory. Though I think I'd put Lego Island before Lego Town and put that before Lego City. Island/Town/City are back to back. Space and other explorers is taking place at the same time as City.

Great Job, Greg! I really love your choice of color for the boat. I also love the sails you added on later. Great use for those pesky huge angle baseplates I say. You get a perfect score.

I think so too. Maybe modern day versions of them.

@xxix5 Great theory dude.

Yes we do my friend.

@xxix5 I love the underwater stuff too. I prefer generic to name brands myself and I also prefer that the characters remain nameless. My only assumption is that they began naming characters due to marketing situations. Show case them on TV an make children love City more. In my opinion, if it were up to me, I would've used Lego City Adventures as an excuse to bring Pepper back from the dead. If you compare some of the people in Lego Island to minifigures that you see during the "HEY" generation of City sets, you'll see that a lot of them bare a spitting image to each other. Read this discussion page and it'll explain more of that theory that I made up. But back to Pepper. I mean......why have multiple characters that are only exclusive to one job per person when you can have a character that can pretty much do anything. Lego City Adventures would be about a skateboarding man in his 20s who goes around Lego City and helps other people out with all sorts of different jobs. Heck, I would even add other characters from Lego Island such as Nick. Mama and Papa, Nubby, Brickster, etc. Well I hear that Coast Guard is likely to return. They should also revive the Cargo and Mail subtheme from 2008. That one was good. We got a mail plane this year, but it was kinda lame to be honest. As a child, I wouldn't really have fun playing with that as I would a mail van or a post office. They should also revive the Towing subtheme from 2009 - which I haven't even gotten a chance to get those. We did get a tuning workshop, but I'm looking for something more generic. I also have some unlikely ideas for subthemes such as one centered around Public Transportation. I figured that since they had Transport By Car and Air Transport, I figured it wouldn't be too much to ask for a public transport subtheme; maybe with a bus, a three car rapid transit style train or even a street car like the one we saw in set 60097. I also hope they revive the Medical subtheme. Hospitals and ambulances sell well too. That would make lots of money. I would hope Lego listens and makes the "ambulance" the first responders subtheme for 2021. But I wouldn't be surprised if we got a wave of more boring police crap next year instead. So here's the reality for City 2021. I'm setting very low standards. I've noticed Lego's pattern for City. Its likely that next year, we'll get the following things: Another wave of police crap. Most likely based outside of the city. Usually following classic police year, they release a police wave based outside of the city such as forest police, swamp police and mountain police. Though Lego says that they aren't separate subthemes. They're all under the Police subtheme. Just sold annually! That's all! A subtheme involving the industrial side of Lego City similar to Demolition Experts and Miners. I would hope that its Harbor, Farm or Construction that returns. Some great vehicles; likely involving a camper or some type of hauler. A helicopter or aircraft will be included. No questions asked regarding that. Another explorer's subtheme during the summer wave. The respectable people packs, town sets and mega set. Pretty much, the only thing keeping me to the City theme nowadays. Sorry for the rambling. But I just love the points you bring up so much.

Oh c'mon! Why am I always late with this kind of news? No fair!

I dunno why! But it seems like the City division of Lego usually prices the explorers sets really high to where as its almost always only possible to get these sets when they hit clearance. That or if you're just not on a tight budget. But I do have the understand why? I mean.....just look at all that detail and hard work that's been put into them. It almost seems like the designers of City intended these to be for older City fans due to the late 90s/early 2000s nostalgia they give us older fans.

Now THAT would be a City set that I'd pay for. The town sets for City this year haven't be revealed yet. Those are usually strictly limited to buildings that usually wouldn't sell well if put into a dedicated subtheme. So I'm keeping hope alive in hoping to see a new barnyard build or something like that.
