First honest reaction was "meh".  The lime green color scheme is just not for me [emoji14]

I wish LEGO would stop pushing the lime green and orange agenda.

I like the simplicity of the police theme this year.

Ooh, Power Miners in City form, minus any cool minifigs?  Bleh.

New passenger plane: rear engined, new wings.

Overview of the new City Vulcan sets:

Ah, so it is a type of volcano hazard/research group. If LEGO were referring to the mythological deity of fire, Vulcan, calling this City subtheme by his name would make sense yet I find such doubtful. Anyway I like the colors even if they are basically 'borrowed' from Power Miners. For me lime green & orange still is in short supply taking up very minimal drawer space. Unfortunately LEGO's helicopters are looking the same regardless of color scheme. I mean this one is exactly the same as the Fire Fighter one and the Arctic one and the Ocean Rescue one and so on. Course at least such gives a person an assortment of the same parts in various tones. Out of them all, the largest is the most unique regarding the build plus having the hazmat suit now in dark gray I believe so that's nice.

@TheOrcKing Oh, the 'Vulcan' word is not official. My mistake. I quickly took the German word which is very similar to how we Dutch people call it (vulkaan) and translated it wrong into English. Should of course be volcano in correct English.

I figured it may have been a translation mistake on the part of the original article. No worries. "Live long & prosper" as the other Vulcan would say. Haha.

A couple close-ups on these volcano researchers. Nice prints and finally another use for the Fire Fighter breathing apparatus visor....thingy. Plus a better look at the exclusive hazmat suit in gray.

Heres a BIG shout out to Lego for finally putting a minifig in a wheelchair! It is in set 60134, kind of a park setting. As a father of one boy in a chair, and another who is almost wheelchair bound, this is a sight for sore eyes. My boys have MOC'd many wheelchairs, but it is refreshing to see them design a specific wheelchair piece. Thank you Lego!

VULCAN, got excited thought a star trek set was in the offing. Excuse the English vernacular,

Yep, new stuff hitting TRU.

I called my local TRU and was simply told they aren't yet scheduled for release (but didn't clarify if they actually had them yet or not).

I did get a sneak peak at my local Lego store, which was nice - definitely something I want to add to my collection.

My TRU had only the Stunt Planes and the Volcano Pick Up
