Alcarin Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 The only thing I really like in this set is the statue! Quote
Quacs Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I remember when the first pictures of this showed up and it was doubled up, so there were 2 pizza places and 2 bike shops, it looked great. They also had a very nice gas station included with it. Unfortunately, the service station didn't end up happening, it looked really good and would be great for those that have Lego towns in their basement. This set should do well, as the other like sets have done well i.e. City Corner. Speaking of, isn't it time Lego released another gas/service station? I know there aren't too many combo gas/service stations any more, but perhaps they could put in a convenience store instead? Quote

I know there aren't too many combo gas/service stations any more, but perhaps they could put in a convenience store instead? I'lll try to find the picture, it was a really cool station, and should definitely be a set, but to answer your question, yes, we need another service station. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Here's pictures from a Toy Fair in February. You can see how they put 2 sets together, and then added the awesome gas station, which ended up not being part of the set. Let's hope it comes out later. 1 Quote
Quacs Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Really a slick set up, and it goes really well with the modular-ish scale buildings behind this. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I would have preferred they included the service station instead of the crane. Seriously, how many mobile cranes does a city need? Everybody needs gas! 1 Quote

TheOrcKing Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 I knew that comment would devolve the conversation quickly.To bring back some 'class' to the topic, when was the last time Lego released a fuel station? We have a Tanker Truck this year but no place for him to drive the petrol to. I think they dropped the ball on that one. Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Just came back from the Lego today at somerset collection in troy michigan and they now have town square. Going for 119.99usd Quote
MartinP Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 I think that $119.99 USD is too much for that set. It doesn't even have 1,000 pieces. 1 Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 By that logic I should not buy any lego city train sets.. Quote
CNH1974 Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 By that logic I should not buy any lego city train sets.. Good. More for me :D Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Good. More for me Pfft, I'll get the queen to bring em' all over from those massive Amazon UK sales if I have to Quote
Spartikis Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 other than the statue i feel like its a bad investment. Just to modern, doesnt fit with the modular series, thats for sure. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 other than the statue i feel like its a bad investment. Just to modern, doesnt fit with the modular series, thats for sure. The other sets along this same m.o. have done very well. Sets like 7641 City Corner, 7642 City Garage, and 8404 Public Transport all have done well, and have similar characteristics as City Square. I hope to find some on sale at some point, I will grab a couple of these for sure. Quote
CNH1974 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Comparing the CAGR of those three sets you mentioned they all seem to do well in the USA. Only 8404 has a 10+% CAGR in the UK. Quote
MartinP Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Comparing the CAGR of those three sets you mentioned they all seem to do well in the USA. Only 8404 has a 10+% CAGR in the UK. This may mean that this set will do well in the secondary market hopefully. Quote
nessieslc Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I saw this set the other day at TRU, and it looks awesome. Too bad their price point sucks. Quote

jkris53406 Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I just built this set with my sons the other day. I must Say this was the most enjoyable set that I have put together. Having different segments made it feel like you are going faster. It didn't feel as tedious as some of the modulars feel and really looks awesome when it's completed. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 60026 is currently 23% off RRP on Amazon Spain ( Quote
CNH1974 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Possibly 30% + on the runup to Christmas. :) Quote
