I feel sad for people going on that bus expecting to go see 60422 Harbour, but ending up at some other continent ;-)

Most of these seem pretty solid sets, though a heavy focus on the big and expensive ones. A few smaller ones, and very little in between. My favorite bits are those lowriders on the car transporter, those look....fire.

And good to see at least Lego is honest with their own delivery truck showcasing their color issues....

My thoughts exactly. Love the new printed parts with the logo, too.

Now these are my jam! I'll probably pick up the entire jungle line.

"It's cool how the Jungle explorers use the same colour scheme as the 2nd wave of arctic explorers (substituting medium azure for olive green, which makes sense) but I'm already missing the keetorange theme! Oh well. Which reminds me how long ago that subtheme was in stores... Seems like it just came out yesterday tbh.

I'm blown away by these sets though, what was the last time we saw a city boat *without* a preformed hull? And those construction vehicles (yay for construction!) seem like actual solid builds, definitely not as juniorized as many other City models have been recently. Loving all the big trucks really, the car transporter is awesome (and comes with not one, not two, but THREE cars? Holy heck, sign me up) and YES another LEGO truck! Plus this one actually has good accessibility for hands instead of straight up falling apart when you try to detach the roof... ahh, the memories. Not really a big fan of the cab's shape though, but perhaps it'll grow on me."

If you’re asking about city boats that float you don’t need go that far, either 60368 from the Exploration subtheme of 2023, or the fire boat 60373 from the same year :-)

City is back! I had almost given up on it as a theme with all of the juniorization and this year’s earlier Space sub-theme, which are fine sets but which have no business being a sub-theme if City. I love the construction equipment, that tour bus (probably the least expensive bus we’ve seen), the roller coaster, the LEGO truck (mainly for those 8x16 tiles which I plan on pick-a-bricking and using as billboards) and —wow!—that harbor. I’m half-way through building my jetty on the waterfront section of my city, but may have to scrap it for this. At the very least, I am going to take some inspiration from it.

Very good CITY wave. The Crane, Excavator and Harbor especially are tickling my fancy. As does the rumored LEGO truck, for which pictures are already to be found on the www, but which has not been officially revealed (yet).

The LEGO truck has also been revealed and is in the post above.

I love how LEGO made a big deal about 60304 Road Plates three years ago and how they would replace the old vacuum molded plates for the City theme. Fast forward to 2024 and there is only one set released or announced that uses one, and it's a single half-sized plate used as the foundation of 60414 Fire Station with Fire Truck this year. I quite liked these plates and used them as an excuse to build out my niece's City, so their absence this year is really disappointing.

Also, where're the new passenger and freight trains?! The old ones were just retired so it's time for new ones, and no, the streetcar doesn't count.

The current ones are just two years old (and retirement date TBA), while these train sets usually have a four year run. So don't expect new ones until 2026...

60407 look exactly like Ho Chi Minh City & Hanoi city tour bus.

how does the piece count work!? many sets do not look like they need to be built with that many pieces!

I need some of these for sure,especially that Lego truck for my in progress lego store modular (in progress as in I just got that idea.)

Not just 60408, struggle to understand the piece count for 60409, 60420, and 60440...

That mobile construction crane ??

Between the tram being Airport Monorail and this harbor looking pretty Launch & Load (though less industrial), it's a good time for Town/City!

I wish I'd picked up the Jungle Mobile Lab set a few years back, but didn't want to get fully into that theme. Nice to see JT is back though!

And those animals... awesome.

Lego menagment must be made of idiots. So many overbuilt sets.
That Car Transporter and that Lego Truck should have been 40$ max.

To me, the color scheme of the Jungle sets says 76278 Rocket's Warbird... and I like it! Also, more molded animals!! :-)

Thanks! Missed that one when scrolling down on my phone. I stand corrected :)

Give me all the construction truck! That LEGO truck as well looks awesome! Could care less about the jungle sets and the new space sets but the new trucks and buses I NEED!

Tiny detail, but I love the elephant logo on the construction sets.

I like 60407 and 60423. The yellow building on the harbour looks out of place. I know they're trying to show it has history, but it doesn't work that well.

Great selection. My favorites are the harbour, the car transporter, and the construction excavator.
Some of the others look nice too, but no must haves for me. And since the original Johnny Thunder happened during my dark ages I'm not that interested in those sets. At least not for him anyway. Like the water plane and the new tiger though.

I was just making an Exo-Force joke about Mechs, I ….can’t believe it!

Those animals look fantastic.

The 2017 Jungle line was my favourite of the City Adventure subtheme, and these don't disappoint either. Definitely need the Tiger and Red Panda in my collection and the scenery is very well made. I'll also be picking up the bus and tram for my city (which is lacking in a public transport system at the moment). All in all, this might be one of the best summer waves for City in a while.

How is that LEGO truck 1000 pieces though?

The harbor is one of things I need to do my City, while the animals are cool the only thing that calls to me out of interest is that Johnny Thunder look alike.

@RaiderOfTheLostBrick said:

They probably included those pieces printed/stickered on those side panels too!

Be glad they didn't include the piece count of all the sets it is delivering. This could have easliy been the biggest Lego set ever! ;-)

want that tiger

Johnny Thunder!

8x16 tiles on the truck look like prints! That’s a must-have for the collection.

I'm really digging that double-decker bus!

And I don't think I have space for it, but that robo-coaster is super cool!

I really like all of these - my wallet will not be happy!

Maybe I can at least justify a good GWP later in the year?

Love the 6508 reference in the city harbor. It was my first ever set!

Johnny, is that you?! Gasp!

City is one of the top themes of 2024. So many great looking sets. And finally the proper remake of the classic 7249. Really hope I can get this one, 7249 was a dream set of mine when I was a kid.

Finally a new harbor set with a brick built ship(!!). However I think they should just go full industrial without that shop. Maybe a truck.

Wow, I'm floored by this lineup. It will get very expensive. Love the Lego Truck in particular, I have 3221 which was great at the time, but this looks much better. That GORILLA FAMILY(!) looks like a big win as well.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is that also Pippin Reed and Harry Cane alongside Johnny Thunder?

Putting Johnny Thunder in a modern setting just looks wrong

When has Lego city *not* been good as of late??

"Truck! Truck! Truck! Those 8x16 tiles better not be stickered!!!

Absolutely love the excavator and 18-wheeler crane too. I don't remember the elephant (or mammoth? Secret reference to the real life Mammoet company?) logo though, is that a new construction company in the lego universe?"

I think those tiles are prints, as you can see the injection mould point in the centre of the left tile. If they were stickers, that would be covered up.

What an awesome wave, loooove the harbor.

Can't believe they're putting an obvious moneymaker like the red panda in such a tiny set!

Gotta do something to distinguish him from that Henry Jones Jr. guy who has his own sets in production.

I'm not usually a City fan, but these are amazing. I love the Jungle sets. But even the construction sets look good, which I'd never otherwise buy.

These are solid city sets, but pricing will be a killer for sure.

The Jungle ones are very disappointing. Yes, there are great new animal molds, but the sets are very inspiring. Almost no story telling, as they like to say on "Lego Masters". The previous Jungle sub-theme was much better, and had more "scene" in it.

I'm such a sucker for what's now a series of Yellow Lego Semi Trucks. I still love 3221 and this new one will be fantastic next to it. Just need to get 335-2 and 6692. There's just something irrestiable about a Lego truck carrying Lego boxes.

I want that 1950's lowrider from the transporter, simply to make it back into a regular car.

All of them look so good! really want the LEGO semi

I just took a closer looks and the red and white parts are just 1x1 plates not stickers

LEGO is both teasing Johnny Thunder and Exo-Force fans with this batch of LEGO City sets

My experience in construction tells me that they're playing a prank on the guy inside."

Is it that construction guy from The Lego Movie who eats a lot if sausage?

Little me would have been pleased with this line-up!
I always enjoyed 6542 and this new harbour has similar vibes.
That excavator is really well done too.

How does this Johnny Thunder compare to the Shadowbox ver...I mean the CMF figure of him that came out recently? (recently being relative)

Not that it really matters to me all that much, I will be getting that set, possibly more than one just for the red panda.

Edit: oh geez, its been 5 years!!

These are all great and will sell very well! The only one I will definitely get though is the tour bus, as much as like the others they don’t really fit in my city.

Johnny Thunder!

Please stop, I can't spend that much money!

That mobile crane doesn't hold a candle to the OG 7249 though.

I got the reference and I claaaaaaaaapped!

but seriously, those sets are pretty good!

Spectacular City sets!! The excavator, the crane, the port and the tram are amazing!!

YES, IT'S JOHNNY THUNDER! And in a pair of affordable-looking sets, too! This is a good day, mates!

Finally some construction sets!

With all the new animal molds LEGO needs to do a ZOO theme ;)
And that LEGO truck. It is a 8 wide cab and has large size doors like in all of my truck MOC's.

That lego delivery truck 60440 would go well with 910009 store.

Johnny Thunder and the new red panda in one inexpensive set? 60424, I love you!

Do you have 2148 for your collection?

I'm more interested in how he compares to https://brickset.com/minifigs/tlm068/johnny-thunder-(the-lego-movie-dark-brown-straps-white-pupils)

And the Red Panda is adorable!

Absolutely brilliant looking wave of sets.

Those Portaloos are getting heavier!

Are those LEGO set tiles printed? I surely hope so! I would love to collect each design and build a LEGO store. :)

Will be an expensive June.... :D I mean, the Lego Delivery Truck, the Car Transporter and the double decker bus are really nice and will be perfect for modding... so yeah, gonna be nice :D and as mentioned expensive :D

I always find it weird how large City is as a theme. Regular city stuff, theme parks, jungle adventures, space sets, ...? I wonder why the decision was made to keep all of this under a single banner.

Johnny Thunder!!

Disappointed by the Jungle sets. The orange and blue colour scheme would fit artic or anything else better really. Swap these out with polar bears and penguins and the vehicles could stay the same. Hopefully we get a desert theme next year with a lot more imagination put into it.

Just don't buy first day, wait for discounts. It's City so don't buy it without at least a 30% discount....

Now my fee for this advice is just €500 ;-)

The jungle sets depress me. They indicate that again Lego has no interest or confidence in it's historic IP. So we just get a Johnny Thunder skin suit, rather than an independent and fully fleshed out theme.

Love the car transporter and excavator! LEGO truck and harbour are nice, as is the construction crane. Good thing for the crane the road plates don't have curves nowadays.

I grew up with 3221 so I'll definitely get 60440 to display side by side with my original copy, whenever I decide to dig out the parts and rebuild it.
Also I'm trying to build a Ninjago City, so when I mod 60422 it will go nicely with 60417 in creating the docks where Vengestone is offloaded in Ninjago Crystalized.

Pretty awesome and sleek construction vehicles.

Fine additions to the collection they will be.

Sets that feature Johnny Thunder ARE A MUST!! I'm not crying, you are crying!!

That’s a good question. I suspect it boils down what LEGO’s market research has found, that kids - who make up the vast majority of buyers/recipients - will purchase across City sub-themes more if they’re all under a single City brand. To get kids to make the leap under different themes would cost significantly more in marketing. I have no proof of or evidence for any of that. It’s just my guess.

Maybe for Holland customers. We really can only hope for 20% prior to any later Clearance opportunities.

My fee for this advise is €400 (20% Off) :o)

I need a red panda battle pack!

I'm not really the biggest City fan, but both 60409 and 60420 are very nice pieces of construction equipment with stellar builds.

I was expecting more from new Jungle theme. And that container ship to be in size like 60266

A big excavator, finally! And a big crane, both must have for me.

Excited for the Car Transporter, but wish that they had made it in the same colourscheme as the smaller one from earlier in the year (60406). I think black, cyan, and pink would have made this truck look really awesome!

Also excited for the yellow LEGO truck, but not overly keen on the side panel decals. I think I won't be adding the graphics to the side of the truck, and will instead opt to keep it plain yellow.

Ahahahahahaha

Great ideas here, even love the red juniorized convertible
