  1. If they release another bus this year, I'm hoping its like this set only blue. Red in my opinion, should stay with the fire sets. Then again, there was a red bus in both the Town Square and Capital mega sets.
  2. I'm actually surprised. I'm getting that one too. I understand why everyone is excited about the safari offroader as it gives a little nod to this set.
  3. I certainly wouldn't call it a republic. Sorry! Republican for life!
  4. Mine is the race car duel, the one that I have on my avatar. Tbh, I didn't expect there to be another subtheme centered around the automotive industry. I thought the garage subtheme from 2009 was one and done. But nooooooooo! Not only do we have an automotive subtheme. But this subtheme covers the four major subjects of it. Refueling - Service Station Repairing and Performance Upgrades- Tuning Shop Motorsport - Stunt Team and Race Car Duel
  5. I just noticed something. Is that the Townhouse Toy Shop on your avatar?
  6. One and done? Like as in there is NO chance of it being revived?
  7. Yeah. That's sad.
  8. DISNEY: Great news everyone! We're buying Lego!
  9. I think I'll get this one, but remove the stickers and sirens from the police car. Add it to the tuning shop.
  10. @Dhivael Lego has become a dictatorship. ???
  11. What do I usually criticize that's sold under City?
  12. DANG!!!!! You Sir are a genius. I was going to bring that exact point up. Yeah though. People see us as malicious and slam us for asking for certain sets, especially City sets. That also goes for when we recommend that something gets discontinued.
  13. I better not leave you hanging! ?
  14. I knew both of those in the 90s. Captain Redbeard and King Leo were my favorite characters from those themes. I hope they reboot those too!
  15. @Masked Mini Time for some laughs No! If Lego only listen to KFOLs, I'll tell ya what we'd be seeing. Lego City would be officially changed to Lego Police. Lego Star Wars would get babyfied Lego Modulars wouldn't exists The only Creator sets we'd see are those minis and silly creations Technic would be non-existent Sorry! I felt like making some comic relief there. But with all jokes aside, I think Lego listen to us more than we think. Otherwise, we wouldn't be getting all the Town Jr. nostalgia that we've been getting in my favorite theme, City, recently. 2017 had a Coast Guard reboot, 2018 marked a return of Arctic and Trains and in 2019, Space returned along with the return of the Fire theme. Yeah fire comes every three years, but this fire theme was like no other because with the simplified, but detailed fire station, I got some late 90s vibe. In 2020, Classic Police is coming back along with the Race theme. I'm excited for the former because along with my bus driving job, I also have a keen fondness for the automotive industry. So while they are making kids happy with the police sets, they are unknowingly attracting 90s babies like myself. EDIT: I also forgot to mention Jungle Exploration, which in a way was kind of a reboot of the Outback theme from 1997.
  16. I think that's why the age isn't any lower than 5. LOL
  17. Oh dang! Harry Potter sets are overpriced where you live.
  18. Why does Lego City as a whole have to be so damn expensive? I understand inflation and all, but there's gotta be a way to do it without emptying my pockets like the IRS.
  19. I'm with you 100% there. I didn't come up with the number though. Just to clear that part up. I heard it from a source. I just pass the love! But I guess I should think before I put it out there. To be honest, I could definately believe 30 to 35%. I just can't believe no number lower than 20%. That's all. I can respect your response because you weren't trolling or being obnoxious. Tbh, the 30% range is the most believable to me because not only has Lego made a lot of sets and themes targeted towards adults, but I even know lots of adults both personally and on social media (and I'm sure you do too) that collect sets that aren't even targeted towards them. I know grown men who collect City and grown women who collect Friends (my lovely fiancee is one. Between me and the forum, we actually met at a Lego Store). So.....with that being said - 40% may be an over exaggeration. I'm sticking more on the side that says its in the 30% range. Once again, thank you for being nicer! Pooda
  20. GUYS!!!!!! The official prices for the 2020 sets. Prepare to be disappointed. The service station is overpriced again (just kidding) and the police station and tuning shop are 100 bucks. https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/city?page=1&filters.i0.key=variants.attributes.availabilityStatus.zxx-US&filters.i0.values.i0="B_COMING_SOON_AT_DATE"%2C"D_COMING_SOON"
  21. Maybe you can go to the replacement brick page on the official site and find some. If not, try Bricklink or Ebay!
  22. Whoa! I didn't know I would incite some foul language to be used. Look at it this way. If it hasn't grown at least over 30%.....we wouldn't have what we have today. Just like you guys have a hard time believing that its at least up to 40%, I have a hard time believing things on the internet that suggests that its at 5% still. That's stupider than 40%.
  23. No one has to ask me anything. I just say it in dependent clause way of "This is that way...according to...." and that's how I say it. Of course he works for the darn company. How else can he tell me? The internet can lie to you too. I only trust people who work at the company to provide me with accurate answers. I wouldn't just take anyone's word for it. Of course I believe him because just look at all the adult oriented sets we're getting. Now please let's get back to the main topic of the discussion. No further talk on that number is needed. When I put out how much it has grown, don't ask questions. Just be happy it's at that number and leave it. Don't challenge me.
  24. No one has actually asked me that. But like I told them, I'm telling you. It was an insider who's name I'm not at liberty to say.
