Yeah! Instead of a base set, they had a mobile unit that could be taken from place to place in the arctic instead of being stationary - which imo, feels more realistic that the base from 2014.

Yeah....didn't they have something like that for the 2018 arctic wave?

The 2014 one reminds me of one of those ICE trains that runs through Europe. I wish I didn't miss that one because I really love the design.

Its okay! I knew what you meant actually. You meant a locomotive with no motor like the Emerald Night, TGV and the old Hogwarts Express.

I wouldn't mind one of those to be honest, but considering that trains can already be converted into dummy locomotives with no motors - Lego probably thinks that idea would be pretty pointless. Its likely that they have already thought of doing that. The downtown tram is somewhat of a dummy train as its one that you push along. Ooooooh how I wish we could go back to that era where we had an entire theme of trains equipment (i.e. standalone stations, train cars, rails, sheds and even engines). The My Own Train theme was shortlived, but I tell you, that theme will be missed. As far as the 2022 passenger train is concerned, I'm there with you.

I will continue to take my stance on this - the 2014 and 2018 passenger trains were the best passenger trains to grace the City theme.

I don't get it.

I'll admit that I was kinda hoping for the F1 cars to be sponsored by fictional companies such as Octan, Vita Rush, Fresh, etc.

I think what surprised me the most is the fact that they even bothered to include buildable road plates in this set. This is just what I needed to assure me that buildable roadplates are not finished just yet.

Whoa now! Don't get me started. This literally one of the best MOCs I have ever seen in my life. Good Job!

I actually love the idea of a new police off-road chase set. But I don't really care for the way the police van looks. I would've used a police monster truck like the ones used in the old mountain police sets with the net shooters and all. Those were cool. I also love the new splashers they have been using for the vehicles lately. But can we get a normal looking police cruiser like the ones from 2019 and 2022?

That's cool

I hope that's the case

I think that would be a marvelous idea.

The only one I'm interested in is the tow truck set. I'm glad that THIS time its not a 4+ set. I'm also intrigued to see how the central train station looks.

When you go into your settings and try to change your username, it'll say that it can only be changed once within a 366-day period. I'm wondering if we can change that.

I don't care for the current ambulance designs either because imo, they're too close to the color schemes used for British ambulances and it just doesn't give off ambualance vibes to me. I also prefer the older style used on ambulances as it feels more appropriate and geared to more universal side as opposed to it being country-specific. The suits of the paramedics from 2018 also show that as well. I also like the special yellow/red color scheme they used for the mountain-based paramedics that were 60179 and 60203. Those were good too! Here's hope that they go back to it. At least for an anniversay thingy. Btw, something else you mentioned was that the color scheme of the old design was close to colors we see here in the US. Allow me to make a slight correction; the old design was based off of the universal-European look actually. An example of that design can be seen in the picture of the ambulance above.

Can you shorten the wait time for username changes?

I love the way this train station looks. The details get me so excited, especially the way that platform looks.

Nice! I got the F1 transport truck with the Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing cars.

Yeah! For me, because I am a car/racing enthusiast, the only sets I plan to buy this year are the F1 sets - simply for the cars though. Unfortunately the space, exploration and outdoors style sets are the ones that cause the most controversy as they feel as though the sets don't belong in a town-related theme. However, reading in between the lines, City is more about exciting careers that are either hard to achieve in real life or that you don't get to see by simply walking outside your door and the explorers sets still hold to that. I think if anything, the explorers sets actually helped the City theme to evolve. Clearly, they sell way better than police sets, thus the lack of them recently. So much so that perhaps I think they may deserve their own theme.........

I'd be all for the lead designer of either Friends or Creator coming to help with City sets. They also need to bring back the person who designed the vehicles from 2005-2013 back. The vehicles were much better under him. City will be a much better theme now.

That's amazing @Lemerbrix

60458 to 60464 are soap box dirby sets, the 4+ tractor with trailer, this year's remix set, the 4+ fire truck and the Williams/Haas F1 racing duo. 60472 and 60474 are the scrapyard and the VCarb/Sauber F1 car duel. So the only numbers missing are 60471 and 60473, which I doubt are anything special. I think this is the final list.

Sooooo! Remember the F1 set I told you guys was missing on the site? Welll...... it is rumored to not be released until March. So......for us AFOLs who had that set at top priority (myself included), we'll have to wait a bit. But its worth it. At least we know that the set HAS to come out as its already been confirmed by clear images and official box art. https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-city-formula-1-set-missing-from-2025/
