I've actually been driven mad trying to come up with answers as to why that seems to be an unwritten rule here.

I'll take note

Lego is way ahead of you buddy. I found this chocolate lab mould on Bricklink.

That's the one I ordered.

Yeah! He's going to be my sigfig's pet

Speaking of animals. I think my favorite one from this year is the new labrador mould included in the city center that the blind man is walking. I have one of those coming in the mail.

Ideas for Great Vehicles So it seems like all the citizens of Lego City eat are foods that aren't good to eat all the time. They need more vegetables in their lives. So....why not a vegetable van? Since we've got kids characters such as Madison and Billy, I'm thinking about a school bus for the great vehicles lineup. The blue sports car from this year seems to have gotten some good reviews. How about a green SUV? Children also seem to be into rescue vehicles with big wheels. I think an ambulance with big wheels sounds good. Perhaps Dr. Contagioustein from LCA can make an appearance in that one. I'm pretty sure there is some room for a mail van given that the mail plane was done. A single police patrol car with Duke DeTain, similar to the one from 2019, but updated to today's standard of City sets. I wish City would do more passenger planes. I'm thinking a private jet with Mary Sinclair and R.E. Fendrich from LCA.

Nice build!

We got something better though. We got two town planning sets in 2021 and we got them early. Btw, I don't think Main Square was low quality. I think it was just overpriced. That's why I've been hesitant to buy it. I really just want certain parts tbh. $200 would be a waste of money just to buy a set only because of the tram, the diner, the stage and the town hall. Pricing it at $100 and not making it a Lego Store exclusive wouldve made a better sell.

Yup! I have the tuning shop. Very nice build. As far as vehicles are concerned, my favorite one is the yellow tram from 60271.

Another unpopular opinion about Lego. The sets made by City for 2020 and 2021 are actually pretty good. Especially if you want to make a table town without going over your budget. Most of the buildings are simple, but detailed.

Me too!

Darn Karenistic moms. I blame them.

The best one in my opinion was the one from 2012. The 2018 one is right behind there though. Both of those are like THE BEST hospitals I have ever seen from Lego.

BRO!!!!! I've been wanting a revival of the medical subtheme since the one from 2006 was killed off.

What about a Caribbean food truck with an angry Rasta guy as the salesman?

Bro! My recommendation; paint it yellow and turn it into a bus station. ;)

Well its CITY. Police and Fire sets are kinda their thing at the moment. Especially given that most of the characters are cops and firefighters. Oh yeah and also criminals. But I agree though. I could only imagine a year without police or fire sets. The last time we had something like that was waaaaaaayyyyyyyyy back during my TFOL years in 2009.

I wouldn't get on a moderator's bad side here.

If food trucks is a better way to bring the food industry to prominence in the City theme, I'm for it. They could do stationary restaurants, but those obviously sell better under the Creator 3in1 theme thus, why we barely get any for City. Though I will admit, I kinda like the ones that came out for City such as the burger joints from 2019 and 2020, the doughnut shop and pizza places from 2013 and 2021.

@PicnicBasketSam But the good thing about City sets is that you can modify them. This could've easily been done with this set. Take the helicopter with the bomb out and just use the building and the van. You'd be all set there.

But I wanted the truck in that set.

Guess I stand corrected then.... Personally, I have no issue with diverse restaurants. I see it as no different than the City Pizza restaurants, which are technically Italian restaurants along with the restaurants from 60214 and 60271 being stereotypes of American burger joints. I would definately pay for a Mexican restaurant. I've actually came up with an idea of a Lebanese food truck. It may be unlikely, but we can dream.

But to have a Chinese temple is outlandish. Especially given that TLG has hinted to an avoidance on religious and ethnic matter (though Ninjago kinda goes against that last rule). A Chinese restaurant is one thing, but to bring out the entire world of China in Lego City is going to cause controversy.

This was the first time I'm actually disappointed that a police set has been cancelled.
