Imagine putting this is a city. It would go very well being just in a random neighborhood. -
[MOC] Toyota Supra MK4 - The Fast and the Furious
Driver Brandon Grumman replied to barneius's topic in LEGO Town
Whoa now this is literally the best MOC of your F&F MOCs. I never thought I'd say this, but well....let's just say I'm wearing that face that I get when MOCs actually interest me more than default Lego sets. -
Hope your friends and family have the money!

Hello, my name is Laura!
Driver Brandon Grumman replied to BrickGirl's topic in Hello! My name is...
Hullo there Laura! I'm so glad to meet you! My name is Brandon and if you need any advice on town building or just wish to spend hours on talking about town related sets, then you'll basically see me there! Welcome! -
That's the beauty of Lego. You don't have to use the pieces to build that exact set on the box. There were sets that I didn't want, but I got as gifts. Time to put them to good use.
-
I agree with you guys! I didn't like it either. I did buy it for part expanding though.
-
Here it is!
-
I got the set for half the price that year and just used it for part expansion. I still have my 2014 police station up and running.
-
I agree! The 2022 one most certainly made up for the 2020 attrocity. Plus I love the little van that comes with it.
-
@TeriXeri Yeah! I'm going to assume that the British style is how City ambulances are going to look from now on.

I have a question. Are all summer sets to be released in the US in June? Or are we going to have to wait for the good stuff in August like we do every other summer?

LEGO Speed Champions 2024 rumors/speculation

@Peppermint_M @JopieK -
Everyone wanted one of these when I was a child. Thanks Initial D!
-
I may actually look to add that to my town.
-
Looks more like a complete version of 60291. But I'd like to keep hope alive though.

Allow me to explain. Mario is a cartoon that is based off of a cartoon video game where the violence is done more on a hilarious note. City on the other hand is supposed to mirror realism. So with that being said, that's why the bomb factory is impossible for City sets as it seems to be done on a more realistic note. I mean, I know it kinda sucks as I was also waiting for that set too. But we can't change it.

Yeah! I actually came up with the idea of having a bendy bus be in the Great Vehicles category of City sets. However, some other members on the forum actually brought up a valid point as to why Lego doesn't do standalone buses - because they'll have to add buildings into the set for them to go to. That's why we mainly see them in sets that'll likely burn a huge gap in your wallet. With police vehicles, its easy to stick a car and/or a criminal for them to chase. For a fire engine, its easy to put something in there that is on fire. A patient for an ambulance. A vehicle for a tow truck to tow, etc. But for buses.....well, where is the bus going? That could probably explain why sets like 8404 and 60154 sorta flopped the way they did. Because kids didn't know where the bus was going. Its a theory that I think its bogus. Or would it be more accurate to say that I don't want to believe it, given the various police stations, fire stations and hospitals that Lego gives the City theme, I personally doubt that the bus would have no where to go. As a former public transit worker, I actually used to drive through hospital parking lots all the time.
-
My thoughts would be more similar to 60154, only with a bendy bus. Sorry for constantly mentioning it. But I really want one for City.
-
My hope is a bendy bus, post office, office building, car dealership and a taxi.
-
I'd definalt vouch for that one. ESPECIALLY as a food truck.

So....my review on the 2023 wave so far. As far as a lot of sets are concerned, I'll be mostly using 2023 to catch up on sets I've missed in the previous years. The custom car garage was kinda disappointing to me, but I can use the cars that come with the set. So I'm looking for a good deal for that one as I will only be using the set for the cars. The police academy is pointless for my town as the officers in my town are trained at the police station. I currently have the emergency vehicle HQ in my town, which is an awesome piece. It actually acts as the 911 dispatch center in my town. I have the garbage truck, but I got bored of it quickly, though the trash cans that came with it are still used in my town. I also have the construction Digger, which will be useful and the penguin Slushy Van. Next is the electric sports car. Hopefully, they put some effort into the summer wave.

Proof?
