2023 Friends Rumours, Leaks, Information And Discussion
Driver Brandon Grumman replied to El Garfio's topic in LEGO Town
I think this is the first time I may actually buy some Friends sets. As always, it seems more building oriented this year. -
YES!!!!! Those look good. It was also on the new hair salon too.
-
Given that City is usually amongst the last to be revealed, we'll probably have to wait until December as we do have a lot more themes to go.
-
All the same, for 2023 I'm setting low standards as far as buildings and infrastructure is concerned. The vehicles, I know will be nice enough for the next wave.
-
Well if anything, Lego has been doing a lot of trucks similar to that one lately. So I certainly wouldn't call it out of scale with other City vehicles. Personally, I was hoping it would be similar to the 60002 Fire Truck from 2013.
-
To my shame, I got the set at the store where it is fairly overpriced.
-
You clearly didn't pay attention to what I said. I said its too big for my town. If you're a town builder and you want it for your town then go right ahead. I'm just saying for my town and my town alone. In my town, no truck exceeds the loading guage of the fire engine in set number 60216. With that being said, any vehicle that has any wheels bigger than those doesn't go into my town. I understand it seems rigid, but that's just how I am when it comes to my town.
-
Maybe monster trucks kinda help make the City theme relevant. Otherwise, I'd question the need for so many.
-
The fire truck is okay. But it seems to be too big for the loading guage of my town. So I'm going to pass.
-
Link pls?
-
I'm also looking at the auto repair shop and the electric sports car.

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Driver Brandon Grumman replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I can't wait until the new pizza place is revealed. -
I agree! That one is one of the ones I'm waiting to see.
-
what do you call your lego city/ names for lego city?
Driver Brandon Grumman replied to legoguy1984's topic in LEGO Town
The name of my town is Poodaville! It's one of the supporting towns of Lego City as Brooklyn is to New York. Because it's connected to Lego City, Poodaville uses a lot of the services that Lego City uses. -
Exactly and it's unfair! Police and fire sets would leave the shelves even if there was no promotion. Let's give the grocery store some time to shine.
-
If we're talking City sets, I say mostly older sets, preferably pre-2018. You may have to pay a little more out of your wallet, but it's worth it in the long run. As far as post 2018 goes, I'd say mostly town stuff such as the doughnut shop, main square and grocery store is worth it. I'd also consider the train station from this year - which in my opinion, is the best train station ever done.
-
I'm going to be using those doors for building MOCs.
-
Ok dude! I think those new doors are my favorite new piece for 2022.
-
I like the older one more because of the way it looks. I mean, I get people don't like the older one and prefer the newer one because of the fronts. The front of the new one is actually what turned me off about it with the big nose being there and all.
-
Um....don't be sorry! I'll start buying sets again if that actually happens.
-
Now I have to agree with you on that one, @Vilhelm22. I agree, the theme was waaaaayyyyy better back when there were no named characters. Matter of fact, City back then was awesome as a whole. Not just because of there being no named characters (with the exception of Chase McCain), but the buildings and vehicles looked better back then too. The fact that the minifigures remained unnamed opened a whole slew of opportunities for imaginative play because I could come up with names for the minifigs myself. The current generation of City sets kinda forces names on you. So I agree with you 100%.
-
If that does happen, I'd be shocked. Like you said, they just did a refurbishment on Friends. So I wouldn't be surprised if one was done for City too.
-
Assuming, you mean stationary eateries, I'd say the 60292 had a pizzeria. That set is still on shelves. That same year, a small bakery was in 60306 Shopping Street. But if you mean food places in general, Lego did release the 60347 Grocery Store this year.
-
Ebay has a few on sale.
-
OMG!!!! I loved this set. The VIP promotion is unfortunately the only way to get one for those who want it badly. Personally, I kinda cheated and ordered mine off the internet. Got in for $30 USD. It firs right in my town too. My favorite part is the little drive thru with the teller machine. I can also fit a four stud wide car there.
