So update on the summer City set reveal! I've just received correspondence from Instagram. Someone told me that licensed themes are getting priority spaces in terms of being revealed. So it looks like it's going to be a while before the summer City wave will be revealed as its not a licensed theme. They've already done Star Wars and Harry Potter - so that's two down and a few more to go.

I saw those. My eyes are peeled.

I agree! Especially with City sets.

You know what? Those are good points there. Personally, I wish Lego thought of the idea of selling road plates separately from buildings and town planning sets so that we could buy them as we needed. Thats what was so good about City sets that were sold during the road baseplate time period. You didn't have to buy roads if you didn't want to. The price was high because the building was so nicely detailed. Not because of added road plates. Don't get me wrong, the idea of buildable road plates sounds outstanding. I hope they do more road plate layouts such as handicapped parking spaces, parking lots, standalone bike lanes and even bridges and curving pieces. But including them in sets kinda makes it a bit hard as the building details are sometimes affected by it.

@TeriXeri This year's space sets were nice. Wish the base set had road plates though.

Don't think I have any favorites.

I agree! My dark ages with Lego, especially for town-related sets, was in the late 90s to early 2000s where town sets were barely on the shelves and the late 2010s with the theme was mostly police crap. My response to you may just be another unpopular opinion, especially here. 2020-present day began a golden age for City sets. Thanks to the new, if not more successful, system of distributing City sets, those issues are solved. Along with the successful police and fire sets, we get bigger waves of town and great vehicles sets as well. We're even getting an extra town related set, a grocery store, this summer - which I cannot wait to see. I'm so glad it won't be a 4+ set I don't think I can thank Lego enough. We also got a school and an early hospital release. Tell me that the new person in charge of City sets isn't wonderful.

Ok! Whoever idea at TLG it was to do road plates gets my utmost of respect. These not only make good street pieces, but they are very good for docks and lots too!

I'm a mold lover! They're just easier to collect in my opinion.

Even though this is probably one of the hardest parts of being an AFOL, I have to agree with that statement because its just general commonsense when it comes to the Lego universe. Some things that we want just aren't even worth bringing into production, whether its the first time or whether its returning, so Lego just doesn't do it. It happens to almost everyone's wish lists. I think we should just live with it and try to work with what Lego is able to give us instead of making complaints. I'm trying to tell others how to feel (and I'm sure that wasn't @Aanchir's intent either). But the thing is.....its one thing to disagree with what Lego does and express that through criticism. But to come here to just rant about what you don't like about Lego and wish they'd do, especially by getting rid of other themes to do it, is just annoying. Uh btw @danth, you do realize that Dots is a totally different subject than space, castle and pirates right?

LOL! I kinda already knew it was a prank. A bendy bus and a post office were builds that I have been hoping for in City for a while.

It would be a huge bait n switch in my life if it were true. I've always wanted Lego to consider doing two Great Vehicles waves a year. The first wave would be what we usually get every year for great vehicles (an aircraft, some type of hauler or heavy machinery) and the second wave would be average civilian service vehicles (i.e. tow trucks, buses or garbage trucks).

May not be. Funny enough, I only remember two town planning sets having helicopters. The one from 2015 and the one from 2020.

Of course! Someone on these forums tried something similar to this last year. Only they convinced me that it was a subtheme centered around the rapid transit system.

Whoa now! That's going to pretty pricey. I think I'll pass on that one. Too out of my budget.

I love it! Shame that the pizza industry isn't represented in Lego City very much. I guess Lego Island wasn't that influential after all.

I wonder how the bus from the new train station looks.

Oh....Now the people packs I haven't seen since 2019. I wish those would come back.

Those are probably small scale starter sets or microscale sets.

He's saying that he wishes that all generic themes were yellow. But he understands that it makes sense for licensed themes to be flesh toned as they are mostly based off of movies.

Ok! That kinda of annoys me as well. Though for characters such as Duke Detain, I can understand. Sunglasses or without sunglasses.

Same here! I'm hoping for April.

Great! Now Lego, can we please see reveals of summer 2022?

The 2019 fire station, a police drone chase set and the 2020 police station all had drones.

There was a police robot team polybag. I would like more robots though. We have drones so that's a step in the right direction.
