TheOrcKing Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 For sake of variety especially when it comes to the areas of racing, Lego could use more sponsors in their world besides Octan. I know from watching The Lego Movie that Octan was the mega conglomerate of everything but there still needs to be some other brands in the mix at least for some creative realism. That's one good reason why I was happy looking at last year's City sets with Monster Truck Transporter and Stunt Plane as they added a new element of "Airborne Spoilers" finally giving us a different team to the scene. Their bright orange and red suits with a black helmet give a nice color scheme for grand prix events among other things. Now if only Lego would come up with at least two more Quote

The 'great vehicles' Lego have been releasing like the Tow Truck or Camper Van are good but there needs to be more civilian related designs. I get the constant releases for Police but for sake of reality, there needs to be something for the crooks to steal, right? It can't always be the same "they got away" sketch every time. I mean how droll. On 7/13/2014 at 7:02 PM, Darth_Raichu said: Why ? Octan will eventually buy up all other competitors or price them out of business... Well even if they were subsidiaries, having different brands could give us a larger selection of colors beside just white, green, and sometimes red. Quote

Come to think of it, I don't even remember seeing anything Farm related in stores at the time. I recall there was a Tow Truck, Camper, and Sports Car but every other set is a blur if it was there.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Anything but more Fire/Police sets, even a hospital would make a nice change. I think Town Square was a step in the right direction. Quote
Sparkesy43 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I'm trying to think back to some of the sets I had as an 80s kid. Sure there was police and fire, but there were others too. Cars, trucks, motorcycles etc. Quote

This would be a gold mine. $99 big zoo $49-$79 different enclosures to expand zoo $12.99-$29.99 different animals They could even do polybags of smaller animals (birds, monkeys, etc etc) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app 3 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 I would like to see a Safari theme or offshoot. Perhaps even an Outback style with touring jeeps and stuff. Course we just had something like this with Friends though but still would be nice to see something less cutesy with the baby animals and feature more adult critters of lions, tigers, and zebras (oh my). 1 Quote

Also it can add a lot more elements like cafe, souvenir shop and so on. Quote
deathofsuperman Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Do not know if this is the right place for this request.I am looking for the weights of sealed 60022 and 60050. If anyone has these then it would be greatly appreciated. Quote
Phil B Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Bricklink has all the weights. Just go to www.bricklink.com and search for 60022-1 and 60050-1 respectively; the weight is right on the item details page. Quote
deathofsuperman Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 The sets I've tested with BrinkLink and BrickSet have been way off. I even have multiples that match but are different from the sites. Quote

I wanted to know the same thing for a set and they said 15 oz's, but when weighed at home it was 1 lb 8 oz. which to me seems plausible that the box would weigh about 8 oz. Just a thought.

gmpirate Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 City 4204 The Mine This just popped up on a recent Amazon search. Anyone remember when Walmart ran an ad for this set? Think the ad was for $30 or $40 ($100 set). Walmart didn't have many but I remember hitting up every Target around for the price match. Wound up with about 100 of those. I believe I flipped them for $140 during the holidays that year on Ebay. We really don't get those holiday flips anymore. Lego makes too much 😛 4 Quote
