I'm guessing US$199.99. From Brickset, no mention of a police station. http://brickset.com/article/13959/london-toy-fair-report-part-1 The big surprise was 60097 City Square which, at Quote

Huw responded to a comment asking if the police station was indeed part of this set with: "@petrbasler, not that I recall" Quote
Val-E Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 So would we agree there is no point in investing in 60026? Quote

Um, yes, this. ;-) Hard to tell without seeing pictures yet, but this sounds like it could be a companion vs a competitor to 60026 perhaps. Quote
teruhata Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 This is a really nice set! must buy again! Quote
mauro23 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 By the way, is there a chance to get somewhere such a nice support with 'LEGO CITY' on it? Mauro Quote

For this suggested retail price I hope it's included. If not, I think this set wil not do well, as it's too expensive for a city set. Quote
Ciglione Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Wow! Forget about Town Square! This I will buy right away... awesome. Though I think the baseplates are not included. Unfortunately. Quote
exciter1 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Yes, I often see cars being towed in front of a LEGO Store. When are we getting a LEGO roundabout? 1 Quote

Ah ok, sorry for misunderstanding. LEGO calls these things playmats, 850929 for example. There were others but I don't think they are still in production. No idea though whether this particular one will be sold as well or just used for promo displays. Edited January 28, 2015 by makromizer Quote
Huskers1236 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Looks like I'll be selling our 8404 to pay for this. I really don't see this as a competitor to 60026, but a companion. City builders will like these to add buildings to their town. I know I will. 1 Quote

It looks like not a ton of overlap between the two, so very complementary. I think these two plus a couple toy shops and bike shops would make a sweet non-modular layout. Will this hurt the value of the lego grand opening sets? I've looked at them before but they were always a bit pricey to me and I couldn't justify the buy in - getting a Lego storefront solves that need for me. Quote
toycrazedchris Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Is it just me, or does the "1932" brick/tile on the front seem out of place?? Especially with the big AC condenser on the roof.. Edited February 14, 2015 by toycrazedchris Quote

Especially with the big AC condenser on the roof..I think the knight used is out of place compared to the updated Futuron guy beside him. LEGO should have picked a design more 'classic' of knighthood like a forestman over the same guys from a year ago. Quote
