Here is a Brick Fan review on 60079 Training Jet Transporter and a just2good one for 60078 Utility Shuttle.

Here is a Brick Fan review on 60079 Training Jet Transporter.

​The actually review you embedded was for 60078.  Hopefully you can fix it.

Is 60079 Training Jet Transporter part of the Space line, or a one-off?

​The tail of the Fighter has the "space" emblem, so I would assume it's considered part of the space sub-line.

​I had linked directly to Brick Fan's review followed by embedding just2good's one beneath it. I did not think to state the link and video were for different sets but I went and added that bit just now. I apologize for the confusion.

Out now at TRU!

60097 - City Square - $189.99

​I want that tram!

Although electrifying it might be a problem. The mid section looks too small to put a train bogey in compared to the last tram (public transport)

I, too, like the tram.  I can take it or leave it with the rest of the set, but that tram looks pretty cool.

 

That tram is sexy!

Anyone looking to build a decent LEGO city/town would probably love to add it to their collection and builds...

I like the almost whimsical nature to the tram.  I'm debating whether I need to pick up that particular piece off of eBay once people start parting it out.  It might look good in my Winter Village.  At the same time, though, my WV is a little more "olden" and it might be too modern.  I might be better off with some sort of antique looking train.

 

Plus a link (I can't seem to get the system to annoyingly embed again) to another of Jangbricks review for 60093 Deep Sea Helicopter.

 

 

 

 

The new house that has a winter version could be nice with our winter themes

What do you think of the Utility Shuttle 60078? Looks like a fun, little set. Out of stock at LEGO Shop at Home already? I just got my catalogue in the mail.

​It's selling well, they kept restocking it at LEGO Store when I was there.

Here is a Brickset review on 60080 Spaceport. Plus two videos by Jangbricks.

the astronaut looks like an alien...

Just a small comparison between the new shuttle and the '90 one.

I have the LEGO shuttle from 1995 followed by the 2011 version which is fairly close to the current 2015 design and although each have their merits, the short of this thought would be the latest one does closer resemble the real spacecraft more than the former. The prior versions do have nice lines and overall form feeling like a blend between a LEGO toy and reality but the size suffers from being perhaps too compact almost claustrophobic whereas the new model features decent elbow room.

Most noticeable and best update is those booster rockets. The old ones were simply too small in relation to the shuttle being about the same size when they should have extended past the cockpit as they do in the new model. You could barely see them unless looking from the sides and the smaller white rockets blended in with the shuttle from a top view. While there is a higher number of large specialty pieces in the latest rendition of the famous space shuttle, again it better matches the material than the prior models that almost reached the same achievement but not quite.

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.

You hit the nail on the head for this one.  The Swamp theme is performing decent so far.  The Swamp Starter Set appears to be a winner and is consistently in the $25 range on Amazon.  I just sold a few for $28.

Winner of the recent City vehicle retirements for me has been the Pickup Tow Truck (60081), selling swiftly at $44 on Amazon.  Out 2 years, through 2016.  Can't make much sense of it, but it's doing well.
