exciter1 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I dig the subs and the shipwreck is cool. Quote
MartinP Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I dig the subs and the shipwreck is cool. The subs are awesome, especially the mini one. The shipwreck set is very cool. I'm interested in seeing more pictures of it soon. 1 Quote
biniou Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 WOW !!! The sunk ship set is incredible ! O_O Kids will put the main boat on a table or a chair and will search for stuff (treasure ?) inside the sunk one with the crane. So great ! Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 I wonder what is with this new "starter set" trend LEGO is on in particular the City theme. They released one a couple years ago retailing for $30 and now this year there is a handful of Starter Sets mainly in the $10 range with at least one at $30. Swamp Police Starter Set, Demolition Starter Set, Astronaut Starter Set (no image yet I think), Fire Starter Set, Deep Sea Starter Set, and plain LEGO City Starter Set. I suppose they are at good cheap price points and offer what is essentially a battle pack but for City instead of Star Wars or recently Chima. I'm just left pondering why all of these starter sets now. Perhaps LEGO is 'testing the waters' for what may hook the general crowd. Quote
biking_tiger Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) When I was a kid, my allowance burned holes in my pockets--so I bought up all the cheap little Space sets. I'm imagining they're trying to find those cheapo price points with the "starter" sets. I tend to shy away from City as investments, but those subs, the helicopter, and that especially beautiful sunken ship are all winners. All those sharks...

jbacunn Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 That shipwreck set is one of the coolest city sets I have ever seen. I love this underwater theme. I will be buying these as investments if the price is right because they are unique. Might even have to get that shipwreck for myself although it looks like it will be expensive. Quote

justapilgrim Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 To me, these look like City-ized reissues of the AquaZone and AquaRaiders themes. Agree, they will be fun to build and play with but for investment maybe not so much Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app 1 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Not sure how AFOLs would properly display that Shipwreck set unless they already have a bottom of the sea sublevel on their city layout. 1 Quote
