City 2013

[TheOrcKing]

Did you notice that 60012 is a variant of the 7737 issued in 2009, even same amount of parts but twice more expensive?

7737 was $9.99

Huh, talk about deja vu. Actually now that you brought it up, a good number of the new sets look like redos of a few from the same year no less.

 

7723 - Truck & Forklift

7734 - Cargo Plane

7738 - Coastguard Helicopter & Life Raft

7739 - Coastguard Patrol Boat & Tower

Have you seen 7734's performance?

60021 could go the same way after EOL, at around 85% the piece count of 7734, same number of minifigs and nearly the same price. Also, I think that fcBarcelona wrote an article about City planes being a good investment.

 

Worth it :D

Aaaaand... According to Brickset's part list it has 3 unique pieces.

 

The more I read about this one, and being an aviation enthusiast myself, the more I think that this will be one of those strange City sets that become winners.

Is it just me?  Is anyone else seeing that 60019 Stunt Plane disappears quickly at retail stores?  Is production lower for this plane, or do kids and collectors snatch this one up?

There are still some of these sets in my area, but not that many. I have seen a few at Wal-Mart and Target, but that is it. Maybe there is a lower production rate for this particular set than the other sets.

That is one of those sets which lingered around me. Maybe now it is finally sold out from my Walmart though but for the whole of last year, it didn't move so well. It is a decent plane; just not for $20. Now the Monster Truck Transporter sold rather nicely.
