RIGHT!!!!!! I mean soon I as I saw the vehicle the exact image of that set came into my mind. Tbh, City 2020 is actually giving me a lot of nostalgia come to think of it - even though I'm a 90s baby. The Safari Offroader is one of those.

I have a lot of them. Came with almost every set I brought.

@jonwil For me, I would like to tip my hat towards the person who came up with the idea of making motorsports more prominent in City again. I'm a gearhead myself.

@koalayummies Yeah! That's probably my only pet peeve. I like the brown windows. Like the ones they used on the pizza van and the race cars. Thise are nice. In my opinion, they should stick to those. Then again, I could say the same about the buildings as far as inconsistencies go regarding the windows. Maybe the City division was trying to take tasteful looks into consideration. That's prolly why.

Considering how well City sets sell, I doubt they'll make certain ones exclusives. Unless its something similar to that Toys R Us set.

City fan aye? I love the cars from the new Turbo Wheels subtheme for that reason. Them being based off of real cars. Especially the van from 60257.

I saw the street sweeper at the Lego store.

@TeriXeri I don't know about anyone else, but I'm lovin the new 6 stud wide system for City. Just don't go 8 stud wide with City vehicles, ok Lego?

Like @TeriXeri said, it could actually happen. Especially with the recycle center. They should utilize both the conveyor belt and magnet pieces for that one. How about a garbage truck to compliment it? I agree! If its something similar to the tuning workshop, then its gotta work. Especially if it has the same piece count and a similar build. But they'll have to use normal cars - not hot rods and stuff like that.

@Vindicare That sounds fair enough. Yeah! I would've made it a truck similar to the pizza van or something. I didn't see much use for it as I already have a dealership in my City. So that's kinda why I turned it into an orange juice trailer and the Vita Rush guy from 60255 owns it. The motorcycle rider is part of a street rebel gang - which is what the majority of car owners that come with the tuning workshop are in my town. I just think he fits in very well there. In real life, crooks don't just wear stripy shirts. As for the service station, I can tolerate it. Though I was disappointed in the building, the Volkswagen van and the crossover ev made up for that. I love the blue race car better too. The guy in the blue car is my Lego OC.

Yeah! Like the racing cars.

Good call.

How about the 2020 City forum?

You did amazing! I love how you did the inside if the tender and the wheels. Good show!

Did I tell you that I also converted the small orange-cream used car trailer from 60258 into a juice window?

So I have my first haul of 2020 and that is: 60255 Stunt Team 60256 Racing Cars 60257 Service Station 60258 Tuning Workshop I actually plan my Lego hauls before I buy them and I see that these were not a waste of money. The designers of City have impressed me very well with this subtheme. Being a worker in the auto industry and someone who has studied it all his life, I was perturbed that the last subtheme dedicated to the auto industry only lasted for a year and it was gone. But this one in 2020 was way better. I even had some KFOLs who agreed with me while I was at the Lego store that these were some great sets. Though one of the boys was upset when he saw me with all four and wanted all four at the same time too. It really bothers me that some people are making a big deal from these sets as there were really no major flaws in them. But those same people will tell us to be quiet over the police sets. Such hypocrisy. That's not the point of this discussion though! The flaws were extremely small ones though. They were easy for me to fix as I had the right bricks to fix them. 60255 was perfect. No issues there. For 60256, I replaced that big hood giant scoop on the red car with a smaller red hood scoop so it would look more tasteful. I switched one of the gas pumps on 60257 to the other side so that it would be easier to allow two cars in there at a time. I also put more washing equipment on the other side. 60258 had the street signs removed as I plan to place it in a shopping center and not near a busy street. "Treads Tuning" has been replaced with the "Service" sticker from my Lego Xtra sticker pack as Tread Octane is not the owner of that building in my town. But those were pretty much it. To be frank, if the designers of City sets can keep surprising us with badass sets like these, they could make two police stations a year. Wait! Did I say that out loud? Goddamnit. Well, they technically did that this year. All the same, what do you think of sets 60255 to 60258? Let me know below.

Oh. I think they are awesome sets. If the designers of the City sets can keep surprising us like this - I wouldn't care if they made two police stations a year. Wait a minute! They technically did that this year with the police station and the brick box. Overall as a mechanic, I have been screaming for them to make another subtheme dedicated to the auto industry as we haven't had a proper one since the 2009 Garage subtheme. I only had a few petty issues that were extremely easy to fix. 60255 was perfect. No issues there. For 60256, I replaced that big hood giant scoop on the red car with a smaller red hood scoop so it would look more tasteful. I switched one of the gas pumps on 60257 to the other side so that it would be easier to allow two cars in there at a time. I also put more washing equipment on the other side. 60258 had the street signs removed as I plan to place it in a shopping center and not near a busy street. "Treads Tuning" has been replaced with the "Service" sticker from my Lego Xtra sticker pack as Tread Octane is not the owner of that building in my town. That's my view point on it.

True. Even in the mini movies, its seen as an island.

What's wrong with 60255 and 60258?

Yeah! I did debunk my own theory in the second paragraph. Might as well do it before someone else does.

Maple is back in the house! Whassup bro?

There aren't any just yet. 2020 just started so I'm giving it some time until at least March or April.

I have sets 60255 to 60258. All of those are awesome bro! I swear, your money will not be wasted. Get the police box. That's what I'm getting for my town. My town only needs a small unit as there isn't much crime. LOL

Yeah! I have to agree. Creator was awesome during the Lego affordable housing age because that was the time where you could buy houses for your Lego City. Considering the people and vehicles that came with them, you could even consider Creator houses canon to City.
