@Lego David @Peppermint_MThose are interesting. I actually think they can be used inside of a MOC building or something. Why do they call these illegal builds? I mean....its not like they're going to arrest you for it.

Lmao!

@ks6349 That's understandable. Tomorrow morning, I'm headed to the Lego store to pick up my tuning shop. My initial plan when I went there last Wednesday was to get the entire racing collection (60255 to 60258). But they didn't have 60258 on the shelves yet. So i just got 60255 to 60257. Getting 60258 tomorrow.

I have just noticed something.... Modulars still use baseplates. Not that it bothers me. I was just making that observation.

I plan to get that one too. I'm going to build a post office MOC to complement it. But....I see you're not going to buy the tuning workshop. May I ask why?

If that's the case, 2020 would totally be the best wave in ages. Two town planning sets in one wave. The City set designers are really rewarding us for remaining loyal through the dark ages.

Yeah doing that would make the process longer. Though I do have to admit that it wouldn't really be a bad thing as we only get one Speed Champions wave a year (that does sadden me btw). So they'd have plenty of time to come up with the new elements. But there is also the licensing process and the designing time and limits. So that would probably be why they can't.

That's nice.

I'd recommend "Mountain Police Blue" for the main color and "Space White" for the stripes. That way it could give us some nods to this set.

I recommend "Mountain Police Blue". I love that shade of blue for Lego. It looks especially good on the passenger train and the bus from 60154. I have the latter and the one from set 60026. Recolored both of those into "Mountain Police Blue".

Oh yeah. I also picked up the 60255 Stunt Team and 60256 Racing Cars. I love how City is doing more vehicle packs now. The guys from the Stunt Team are actually going to be part of a illegal street racing gang in my town. I'm going to add the race cars the various other competition vehicles I have in my collection from previous City waves.

I love this town man.

Chuggington? Maybe it'll do well as a Duplo or Juniors/4+ theme.

You should put this on Lego Ideas. I bet this would get so many votes.

My short review on set number 60257. I was actually willing to give this set a perfect score. But after looking at the service station much closer following my purchase of it, the building doesn't really impress me too much. I actually ended up using this set just for the vehicles and the gas pumps. The minifigures and cat mold were also useful as well. I also re did the electric charging station. The pieces from the building, I redid into a vending machine because to be frank, I don't really need a building for the service station in my town. Overall, this set gets a 98% percent from me, which is still an A. Next week, I'll be picking up the flagship set of the Race subtheme - the 60258 Tuning Workshop. I'm determined to collect all four of those sets.

Hey guys! I did a Lego haul today.

Trigger warning. I'm going according to the City theme, which I follow the most. Best Theme: This year, it was tied between Fire and Space. Best Minifigure/Figure: To be fair, all the minifigs were awesome to me. Best Set: 60228 Doughnut Shop Opening Worst Theme: Sky Police - I actually have the collection. Ended up breaking them down for parts. Good thing I didn't put the stickers on. Worst Minifigure/Figure: None Worst Set: 60210 Sky Police Air Base - that one was more about the plane included than the base itself. Most Anticipated for 2020: 60255 to 60258. That's the entire Race theme. Overall, I think 2020 is when I pick almost everything up.

No it isn't a bad thing. They only do one explorers subtheme a year and its kinda guaranteed. But I would like to see more subthemes based in the city other than just the rescue sets and the town sets. The automotive industry subtheme is an awesome start to that in my opinion - and I'm not just saying that because I'm a mechanic. LOL Airport is scheduled to return summer 2021 as it comes every 5 years. 2021 will also see the return of coast guard as that one is on 4 year rotation. But 2020 just started so let's not go ahead of Lego. I hope the In/out subtheme is a Harbor one.

It could be in 2020. Don't forget, we still have no idea on this year's town planning set. May include shops that City has never done before.

What's your point?

They're actually talking about making a Shrek 5. I wonder if its possible to have some Shrek sets.

You don't live in the United States. Everything is pricey here and I don't just mean Lego.

That never happens to me. I keep my stuff up. I also never have issues with applying stickers perfectly. But I get your point.

You did great! I remember 4207 giving me that same vibe back in 2012.

No wonder they're so expensive.
