Night City Dream

Very interesting. The 215 is a fire station which almost twice as small comparing to the actual one. But what is the 216? A city block layout with firemen? I'd be curious to see some residential buildings, very simple but still. I really hope we'll get new road plates with new patterns.

Since 2012 the most interesting and appealing for me have constantly been great vehicles. With fire and police evertothing is more or less clear and nothing special about. So, I wonder what the new great vehicles in the coming year will come out. hope, too, next year we’ll get a new train station. And there should also be a new cargo train just like it was in 2011 and 2015.

What about summer sets of 2018? any info on a new train station? Sorry if I missed something in the thread.

No new stations??

Are there only 3 sets? No new stations or smith else?

To me the new cargo train trails behind the current 60051. However, the passenger train is thank goodness NOT a high-speed rail but I easily recognise the famous Arlanda express, which is nice. Nevertheless, a metro train would be perfect as a passenger one. No, I don't think so. The new train looks much more like Arlanda express, a train connecting Stockholm to Arlanda airport:

I don't perceive giant stone crusher in the largest set as a vehicle. To me it looks more like a structure, like a building. and in this respect the overall view of the set is nice. It is no way the same that that nasty "airport" set featuring a relatively big plane dwarfing a "kinda-bus-stop" airport terminal.

This trend (large vehicles, small structures) has been a trend since 2005...

good evening everybody, Somewhere along the line I saw the information about the upcoming mining sets. Are the scheduled for the second half of 2018 or will be released in January?

Excellent! That's wha Lego should release and not this abhorrent oversized vehicles that are bigger than buildings.

There's no 60176 on Brikset yet, even no place reserved for it.

The building perfectly matches with the set 60150.

So, nothing really appealing for 2018, in your mind? What about new trains?

To me, it is now what I would be interested much in. However, I'd be excited to see a commuter train (bit not all the same as 7938) or, which is better, a metro train/city train Guys, I am a rare comer here, could you show me the pictures you are discussing? I know it's forbidden to put them here in forums long before their official publication but can you send them to me via PM? I'd be grateful.

Will there be anything really BIG and special like 60097?

This is September and no more info on the upcoming sets?

That reminds me of Hong-Kong and its insanely narrow high-rises and its density.

It features a rare simplicity typical of the trucks back in 1990s yet a huge size.

Very good MOC looking very much alike!

What is this Bricks & Pieces about? A world-wide store?

Does that mean that 4433 and 4435 will discontinue and soon stores will run out of them? If so, I must rush ti pick up several tipper trucks that are, to my mind, best Great vehicle in 2012.

I got this set in an onlie store in China for 350 yuan. And it came to Russia on the 26 of April 2012. I've been waiting for this set for so long. The first reason is that it is interesting as such, I liked the idea and its implementation. Then, the set is not sold in this country (Russia). Third, the set promotes a good attitute towards the environment which is part of Sustainable development, and is a crucial topic for me. Brief info. 4206 – Recycing truck Year – 2012, 1st half. Piece number – 297. Minifigs – 3. RRP – 29,99 USD. Paid 350 RMB. The ecological aspects of life are rising in people's consciousness as being environmentally friendly is an equal part of Sustainable development conception along with its economic and social component. As world manufacturing grows, so does the trade, the environment gets more charged. The conception of Sustainable development suggests favorable conditions of livong not only for present generations but for the future as well. In the developing world people sort the litter. The point is that much of that litter can be reduced, reused or recycled. The recycling needs less recources than if the same material is produced in a traditional way. Some wastes are not friendly to the environment at all. Some real pictures. UN headquarters in Geneva. There is a labyrinth installation made off plastic bottles. It makes me think that every second 8000 bottles go into landfill in the world. I didn't put copyright on these pictures as I uploaded them directly from my smartphone. A town of Veryer, Switzerland: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/night-city-dream/view/396828/ Lausanne. The bins for sorted litter are inside the metro: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/night-city-dream/view/452102/ http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/night-city-dream/view/452101/ Annecy, France: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/night-city-dream/view/399359/ Murano, Italy: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/night-city-dream/view/349661/ Upplands Vasbu, Sweden. The special bin is right in the room of the hotel I stayed in: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/night-city-dream/view/486788/ Hangzhou, China. You can see it at the background. http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/night-city-dream/view/469450/ Shanghai. Metro. Xijiahui station. http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/night-city-dream/view/472654/ In Russia, unfortunately, it's not the case. Now. let's get back to the set. The box is relatively large but thin. When travelling, it was a bit damaged. The pieces occupy less than a half of the volume. There's a sticker with customer information in China - for Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. The backside. You can also see 5 power items (limted edition sets) of 2012 at the lower bottom part: What's inside? 3 large bags, each has a smaller bag inside, a dark grey 16x8 baseplate and a small stickersheet. In fact, I counted 311 pieces, not just 297. The first bag: Bag 2 is so huge and it contains so few pieces... Bag 3: The first page of the instruction book: Today Lego is very greedy about minifigs putting sometimes just 1 in a large set. So we can say this set has a lot of minifigs - there are 3 of them here. I've noticed by the way that in 2012 the situation is getting better. The Ambulance has got 3 as well. I found the minifigs interesting. We get the street sweeper and the girl from the first bag. There are 2 sweepers, the second will be shown below. I liked that they have different torsos which works to the advantage of the set. The girl has got Tamina's haircut. It's beautiful but lacks the functionality: you simply can't turn the head 90 degrees. Both minifigs come from Bag 1. The wheelbarrow! The first one in Lego history! Before opening this set I thought it would be smaller. The wheel rotates but you can leave the wheelbarrow off as a moto, it's won't go far. I also liked the green dustbin in the set, which is a tradition since 2010.: Actually, the "real estate" of the set consists of a corral with 3 large containers. It all is mounted on a dark grey plate. I decided to put on the stickers as this set won't be dismantled for MOCs. Interesting to see that pieces of these colours - yellow, red and blue - will be hidden later upon completion of the building. Still LEGO gives us pieces of different colours. The left container is for paper, the middle for metals and the right one for glass. Lego ingenuity is expressed here in the design of the fence: The containers' desing is also simple but very ergonomic. We get by the way 6 "bus windscreens". I especially liked the way the litter is depicted. And more especially how a glass bottle is designed: Aluminium cans & tins and their container: Paper & cardboard container: All the three put together: Now, we pass to the truck. It is quite typical for City line but has some features. Previous trucks didn't usually have stickers at the front. I didn't like that it has only 4 wheels. Standard parts are used to build the chassis: Now again, lots of bright coloured parts that will be hidden: Like that it gets more robust: Some shots of the rear bumper and fuel tanks. The registration number is sticked onto a black double cheese: Some parts of the cabin. No chair: The fronatl part is very important as it creates the whole look of the truck: New design of rear-view mirrors, quite realistic: The truck is now built, some views: All in all, a good looking truck but not very special. I'd like to see it have 6 wheels. But none of the LEGO CITY garbage trucks features 6 wheels. Finally, the front-end loader. It doesn't have a spring device, which makes is special. The third minifigure comes from the third bag: All staff of the set: Some peculiarities of the loader. Special wings: Front bumper: Now, how it works. The axis blocks the arm. So, the arm can have only 2 positions The fork is assemled like that: The driver's cab is mounted separately and then is simply put on the chassis: Extra parts: It is complete now: And general view of the set. The set is good for making scenes. A small bonus. After hard working day, 2 sweepers sat down near the truck to drink some alcohol. As they got drunk, they started to sing loudly. A woman came out in a nearby block and told them to stop: The reaction was not polite. So the girl took what she could take at that moment, it was a swab and told the guys to go. They rushed away. Conclusion. The set is simply great. When I was assembling it and taking pictures, I thought of 7733, there was also a truck and a forklift there. But it was not about litter and it had 2 minifigures. But it was much much cheaper in Russia. Still, I like 4206 very much as is it well designed, has 2 vehicles, some property, 3 people. Lots of useful parts. Pros: - 3 minifigs and their look; - conception; - truck design; - forklift design; - promotion of garbage sorting; - litter itself, is amount and variety as well as amount ob containers; - wheelbarrow; - 2 shovels; - letter; - green dustbin. Cons: - no sales in Russia; - limited edition (it SHOULD be regular set); - price; - the box is too large. If you come across this set, I recommend you to pick it up as it is not a POLICE or FIRE-related set and it promotes ideas for a better future.

Hello, Could you please tell me where I can buy Legos in Stockholm. I am currently on a mission here and would like to benefit my free time looking for stores to watch and buy.

Been to many COOPs and didn't see any sets there. Swiss Post Shop - where is it? Yeah, thanks but now the problem is how will I manage to take it all with me back to Russia.. :) I have to. Thanks for the links, I've examined the first one but it is all in German and I don't understand a word in German. Will examine the rest later.

Hello, Thank you all for help. Today I finally managed to go out after work and went to MANOR http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/night-city-dream/view/391209/ The point is that I see this building quite often times but I couldn't imagine. I found LEGO on the 4th floor (and it was hard). The range is quite ok, not very large. Anyway, I managed to grab 3 Pharaoh Quests sets because this theme is not sold in Russia. As for the main Shopping street and the store there, I've been there, I was there almost 2 weeks ago and found only a handful of sets - some game sets + a couple of Cars sets. That was all. Anyway, thank you all so much.
