Hapori Tohu Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 City is the last big theme we have to cover in our look at Toy Fair 2017, so here we are today. The playtheme is so big that it has its own subthemes - this year the standouts are Coast Guard, Jungle Explorers, and Police. There's a lot of variety and a lot to see - I'd venture to say that there's something for everyone here. Let's go take a look at the City offerings!

xccj Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The Jungle Explorers look like the coolest of the summer themes coming out that I've seen so far. But the beach figs pack is also enticing; thanks for taking some close-ups of that! 1 Quote My BZPower Stories Dark Core--Kulagi's Kanoka--A Shadow's Contrivance--Mystery on Keli-Nui--BZ-Koro: To Bring Back Bionicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takanuinuva Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 And I thought the old spider mold was easy to confuse for a real spider. Here's hoping this new mold doesn't ever come in black. 1 Quote I am Takanui Nuva. The Toa Nuva of Light I also go by Baron Von Brickenstein AFOL, Gamer and overall nice person.

Hidron Nuva Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) The new sets are cool, but they're way too expensive. LEGO has been getting more and more expensive year by year, and now they're really pricy.There are a lot of sets I'd like to own, but I'll probably buy none :\ I like the "Tomb Raider" vibe of the Jungle sets, and it's good to see vehicles that can contain more than one minifigure.

Aanchir Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The new sets are cool, but they're way too expensive. LEGO has been getting more and more expensive year by year, and now they're really pricy. There are a lot of sets I'd like to own, but I'll probably buy none :\ The price of LEGO has actually been pretty stable in the grand scheme of things — this article is four years old but mostly still relevant. City definitely tends to be one of the pricier themes in general, probably in part on account of its popularity, but when you compare sets like last year's Airport Passenger Terminal and 2010's Airport, the new one has only nine fewer pieces, actually weighs more, and has an additional minifigure for the same sticker price. City this year doesn't excite me nearly as much as Friends does, but "Fun at the Beach" is a great successor to last year's "Fun at the Park". More disabled representation in the Bus Station set is also never a bad thing. While Coast Guard is a series that it feels like we've seen a lot (most recently in 2013), the new sets do use some clever building techniques. And the Jungle Explorers series has a lot of the same uniqueness and novelty as the past few years' Volcano Explorers, Deep Sea Explorers, and Arctic Explorers series. I'm sure the new animal molds will be greatly appreciated by people who wish to populate a LEGO zoo! 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta-metru_defender Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I didn't realize how much I wanted a bus until I saw that bus and now I really want a bus. 2 Quote Hand-drawn, bespoke avatar by none other than Mushy the Mushroom. a body adrift in water, salt, and sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katanga Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'll definitely be getting Fun at the Beach. Fun at the Park was a fantastic minifigure pack. Quote My Bionicle Tumblr. New photos are uploaded daily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
