Alpinemaps Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 We are stuck in this cycle of mining, arctic, and coast guard. I enjoy the winter themed sets so I’ll check these out, but I too wish we’d get something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justapilgrim Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 The farm theme needs to be re-visited, along with a city zoo theme. $299 zoo$29-$119 different enclosuresEven easy to do hot dog stands, different animals in polybags, other vendors Zoo would do amazing. Every city would have a zoo area waiting for every new set. Collectors would demand to have EVERY animal/set 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Average Guy Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 What makes rehashing themes OK is that new kids are born every year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 On 12/24/2017 at 8:04 PM, crayxlp said: So presumably there is going to be a rehash / continuance of a CITY Arctic theme given the picture below (Discover a new City theme on 25.05.2018). It could be cool, but still another remake.. As "uneasy" it is for LEGO designers to come up with something fresh, I tried myself to "fit into their shoes" and just from the top of my head I came to the alternate possibles below - HOSPITAL THEME not mentioning.. municipal services (waste disposal, gardening, public care - hairsaloon, various boutiques selling fashion, music instruments, grocery etc), highway & similiar construction crew, commercial vessels + harbor + handling the cargo (cranes etc), forrest harvesting and milling saw facilities, scientifics ;division" - explorers, artefacts + museum / exhibition facilities .. and Film studios scenarios.. oh this could be a gold mine! Imagine they could cash out any possible license they own with an individual set.. Set numbers, names and prices: 60190 Arctic Hovercraft - 4.99€60191 Arctic Explorers - 9.99€60192 Arctic Vehicle - 19.99€60193 Arctic Helicopter - 34.99€60194 Arctic Track Vehicle - 49.99€60195 Arctic Mobile Centre - 99.99€ So here is some news. The Artic theme is different! According to the brick show, the Artic theme goes Prehistoric! 60193 has a Sabre tooth tiger stuck in ice, 60195 has a Wooly Mammoth! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) So that means the current trains will retire this year bang on 4 year schedule. Key point is no new station apart from xmas one. Edited January 4, 2018 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key point is no new station apart from xmas one. Probably because resellers are buying all the stations? 60050 (boxed) is still available as part of the 66493 Cargo Train Super Pack - which is also great to part out, especially when I bought a load from John Lewis at £128 each. 60051 may struggle as it's been heavily discounted all along and I don't think it's as good as 7938 was, RRP may not be reached after fees.

CosmicSpeed Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 27 minutes ago, redghostx said: There are now two helicopters instead of one. I talk smack about the inflated amount of Helicopters all the time. As of before this announcement, there were already 14 sets for 2018 with a helicopter element. However, yesterday I just so happened to buy the Building Better Thinking box that includes the Chopper build. SMH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crayxlp Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I was looking for the prices of recently sold CITY sets on ebay.co.uk and found this.. do you think that the price is substential or waay too much overpriced and it was some very "fanatic" collector who bought it?
