Well said. I don't know why I let this one go. Just went to buy it and saw they're going for $200 now. I think I got mine on clearance for $65- so much freaking glass in that thing!

Police Mobile Command Truck? The previous one hasn't even retired yet. 

I think 60327 Horse Transport sounds promising.

The Martian even comes with a Matt Damon Minifigure. 

pics are up of all the other 2022 sets in the list plus Ninjago, Minecraft, Creator and Friends.

Hospital looks cool. Huge Friends Main Street set. Rest look pretty lackluster to me. Except for that school!

RIP 60204 ?

I've been selling off the few I had left since word first came out a few months ago. Only have a damaged box one left ... worst case it becomes my builder.

60315 is more of a concern to me. The previous Police Mobile Command Center is still on shelves. I might need to finally sell my $7 ones I acquired 3+ years back

If I were a kid choosing between the 2, I would pick 60315 because it looks cooler than the old one

I can't take my eyes off this thing! Am I the only one on here who buys City sets at full retail price lol

I really don't like these city sets with the road plates taking up a significant amount of the parts build and getting these really small empty buildings in return. I would much rather have more building with a sidewalk that aligns with the road plates and just purchase the road plates separately. Also I know these sets are for kids but it seems like since last year many of the city sets are looking more cartoonish. The best looking set here imo is moon base.

Agree with your take. This is why I'm not having much concern over 60204 value stalling or declining. 

How much weed do you think was consumed to create this lil guy in the 60330 Hospital?

not a real Patch Adams without a red nose and LEGO MFs don't do noses 'cept Vordamort, so not a real Patch Adams

Yes

Not sure why this helicopter caught my eye.  Maybe the angle of photography makes it look kind of cool

Is it normal for Lego to retire sets, and before they even have retired, introduce a new set that is practically similar? Why not run the current set longer? 

City theme for 2022 is coming out with fire station and police stuff very similar to what they currently have for sale. Maybe I am missing something, but it probably won't help the value go up on the soon to be retired sets 😭

That is the norm for many in the City theme - Hospitals, Police Stations, and Fire Stations.

The small sets in City are generally where the investment value is, not the large sets. There will always need to be a fire station, police station, etc on the market. But an airport fire truck? Nope.

Shoot, I have mainly the larger sets. Trains, ships, police-, fire station.

I agree. Many of the vehicles have given me good returns, airport fire truck being one of them. Also garbage trucks. Enthusiasts can never have enough vehicles for their cities.

Your correct.  It definitely limits the Upside potential on these sets.

 

LEGO does this, though, because a) they hate reseller scum, be b) [probably more important to them] is these are what they call Evergreen sets.  They are always in production, and (again from LEGO's perspective) you have to keep the aisle fresh.  Tommy's mom isn't gonna buy the same set for his brother Timmy, but if it's just enough different, she'll buy it.
