If you reprimand me, reprimand CFOL too! He gave fake numbers and fake prices! -

@Aanchir Yes! Let's get back on topic. Sorry I took us off. I have done ethnic stereotypes with my minifigs before. For example, the bank truck driver has a black bun and a cute voice tone to portray a Chinese-American style and I gave the police chief in my town an alphamale voice and a black beard to portray an African American Male.- 46 replies

10243 (Paris Restaurant) or 10260 (Diner)?

But the stickers on THIS sheet are newer versions of the CITY PIZZA sign. -
The mobile weather unit should be the biggest set under that theme with the news station being smaller. That's how they did this year's fire sets.

Now those are nice! I really hope that the CITY PIZZA stickers are easter eggs to a stationary pizzeria set. -

@TeriXeri That was kinda different though. Sports was licensed, but in house at the same time - similar to Speed Champions! So it wouldn't have mattered either way whether the minifigs were yellow or brown skinned/white skinned. I guess since it was kind of a subsidiary of the old Town theme in a way.- 46 replies

So you don't think Lego will suffer financially? I mean I know they'll save billions because they don't have to pay all that money for licensing.- 46 replies

@Aanchir I love stickerstickers too. I wish Lego could release sticker packs. What if we needed some for a MOC? -
Do us a favor. Don't ever become a motivational speaker for people who propose new roads for City sets. LOL City has pretty much sworn its allegiance to making police and explorers sets now. They do have the occasional fire sets that come out every three years and some civilian sets. But the two things that I have always known about City was.....THERE IS NO WHERE TO LIVE!!!!! THE JOB MARKET IS LOW!!!!!! I have a theory for why City is doing this on purpose. City is now crime ridden. Most of the citizens who were at one point, honest workers have turned to lives of crime robbing what's left of the banks (police sets) to have a little pocket change. But then there are those more irate people who take matters to the next level by setting the places where they used to work and live on fire (fire sets). You have others who have given up hope on life and the suicidal sailors sail out into the middle of the dangerous seas to their deaths, but then the coast guard has to get involved (coast guard sets). Very many overreact and using inspiration from apocalypse based movies, built vehicles that were capable enough to take them to the four corners of the earth to find valuables that can either help boost the economy or make them enough money to get them out of the city before they become victims (the explorers sets). Then there are the people who have sense and start their own businesses (the mega sets) to try to get themselves back on their feet. You have people who are also homeless but don't commit crimes; instead living their lives as though nothing is wrong (the people packs). However, you've got those who don't cope so well. So you have those people who convert their cars into vehicles that have to do with what they used to be before the economy tanked (great vehicles). For example, the guy in set 60150 used to work at a pizza parlor so he converted his van into a mobile pizzeria and the girl from 60183 used to fix rigs and her husband used to be a helicopter pilot. Thus why we have the heavy cargo transport. The only three industries that are surviving are the emergency field and the railway industry (trains). But how does the city pay for these services if there are hardly any jobs and there is no where to live? If you really look at it, City could actually be a metaphor for how things could go down if the economy were to tank. This was actually a theory based off of this guy on YouTube named City Beautiful where he reviewed city sets. I just added to it.

What do you think would happen if Lego stopped doing licensed out of house themes? Just curious- 46 replies

You should do what I do. Be straight to the point unless you have to explain something to others. As for the minifigs, I think they should stay yellow. Race-free ideas are what help the imagination grow when playing with minifigures.- 46 replies

LEGO City 2020 - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion
Driver Brandon Grumman replied to Digger of Bricks's topic in LEGO Town
Yes and they have done very well with those sets! That's why we think they should make a subtheme centered around the transit system. Another one I would like to see is a Roadside Assistance subtheme. The Auto Service 24/7 company in LEGO City has so much potential. I think a subtheme centered around the towing company would be great too. Being an automotive student, I'm very upset that a subtheme hasn't been given to this side of City since 2009 and the only signs of it were the very few tow trucks that we have seen throughout the years. -
Yeah! It does too! However, I do building ideas just in case a subtheme isn't possible.

Fx Bricks (Michael Gale) announces Fx Track system
Driver Brandon Grumman replied to HoMa's topic in LEGO Train Tech
While 9V isn't in production anymore, there are grown brickheads who still use them. So they're far from dead. However, I do prefer PF as it's easier to keep up and use in my opinion. I say that from experience. Not out of bias. -
City has done a family home before. Matter of fact, it was made at the same time Creator was doing houses.

With that being said.....I have a few more building ideas. TV 6+ News Station (includes two story news building, news van and news chopper) ? est. $59.99 Office (includes a tall five story building, limousine and private helicopter) ? est. $69.99 Driving School (includes driving school building and several Smart cars in differediffelors) ? est. $39.99 School (includes school building with school bus) ? est. $49.99 Family Home (includes a small house with a family of four and a van) ? est. 39.99

Yo! A news station is one of my building ideas. But I didn't list that one because I didn't think people would want it. Also don't forget about the air shows and great vehicle shows. I'm definitely putting that one as a building idea.
