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. 

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 !

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.

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...

I can remember buying those classic Space minifigure packs with something like five to six characters featuring weapons and gear for around $5 which seems bizarre compared to nowadays.

....We're gonna need a bigger boat.

I tried to embed the "Spanish Ladies" scene from Jaws, but I'm code stupid, especially at 5-something AM.

Haha, got your back. :thumbsup:

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.

A resurgence is imminent and a Katy Perry polybag may be pending for the full ensemble.

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

Not sure how AFOLs would properly display that Shipwreck set unless they already have a bottom of the sea sublevel on their city layout.

Here is a Eurobricks review on 60070 Water Plane Chase.

30312 - Demolition Driller

No box for the rumored train...? hmmmm...

I also note that the 4204 Mine (2012) has been used for display with the new city demolition sets. I Like This.

That train has PF, there is an IR receiver in the front cabin.

Looks awesome!

 

Better sell my 3367 and 3368's!

Well now I know the City subtheme with construction guys this year is actually Demolition Experts. That makes sense. Anywho here are some short clips from the LEGO channel on YouTube to watch.
