Another enormous CITY set revealed!
Posted by CapnRex101,
Amazon has published some images of another upcoming CITY set, 60200 Capital. We do not yet know how many pieces the set will contain but it looks as though it might match, or even surpass, the 1683-piece total of 60097 City Square which was released in 2015!
This set includes a hotel, a museum and many different kinds of vehicles so seems to follow the precedent set by both 60026 Town Square and 60097 City Square fairly closely. We will update you with the price, piece count and any further information as soon as it becomes available.
You can view a couple of larger images after the break...
Are you looking forward to 60200 Capital? Let us know in the comments.

That is amazing. Do you have a piece count/price
This is amazing! I love the hotel with the rooftop pool, the bus, and that cute museum! I can't help but feel like this is a remake of 2013's Town Square though...
The tour bus and hotel intrigues me.
I'm so glad they changed up the buildings...my city only has so much room for pizza places and bike shops. And I LOVE the double decker sightseeing bus!
I love these huge City sets, even if there is inevitably a bit of overlap.
I could live without the skate-park or museum, but the fast food place is cool, and much love for the hotel. That's just cool.
The bus is neat but there doesn't look to be stairs to actually get to the top.
The rest of the set is rather awful. An empty building made of glass panels, yet another hot dog stand. Is that a rule the designers have to follow? That every set needs a hot dog stand because the bun piece is useless for anything else? The hotel is nice, but the set will clearly cost probably $150+ and for that cost I'd buy a real building, a modular one.
LEGO sure do love their hotdog stands/carts. The set looks great.
I like how they’ve added the stop for the tour bus onto the side of the hotdog stall. Nice to see the cop has a separate hair piece so you can remove the helmet too.
Not sure I like the under construction museum though. I’d rather have the piece count they used on the crane added to a finished (and larger) museum. The hotel doesn’t look like it has more than one room, but I could be wrong!
Another big set, not good for wallet. Too few and small buildings, too many vehicles.
I like the sightseeing bus the most, and the ice-cream truck. The rest looks kind of random. And that surely a weird way to spell M-US-EU-M.
Love this, but if it's priced like City Square was in the US, gonna have to wait for a deep discount to consider it.
Gosh dang it LEGO! You are killing my wallet!! Ugh, I love it :(
Wow, this just isn't great at all – in any way. Seems to be a lot of fluff to pad out existing sets.
Hotdog Stand/Bus Stop – more hotdogs … more bus stops
Hotel – down-trodden 3-star effort
Museum – vacuous shell and don’t get me started on the poorly-designed signage/facade elements… sigh.
Skate ramp – another one?
Construction crew – another one?
Flash sports car – another one?
Police bike – another one?
YES, we are getting closer to the good old Classic Town style with some buildings!
Waiting for a supermarket and other business'...
Is that a skate park? Jeez, I don't think we've seen one of those since the Sports theme.
Aaaaamazing!! Really love the hotdog stand, bus, orange car and the little icecream tuk-tuk. A must-have multiples of this one (too)
I definitely need this for my Lego City that I'm building! ;) This looks great!
So it comes with a police motorcycle but a policeman? Or am I missing something?
Interesting looking set. Not really a Town/City guy but may consider getting.
Very nice! The designs do a good job at suggesting what the buildings are while keeping to a town scale--though that food stand is a little tall. It would have been nice to have seen this split up into two or three sets (I don't usually drop that much money on a single set, so it's a shame that so many City buildings have come out as part of sets that are well over $100). However, the set does feel very bustling and "alive," so that's good.
This actually brings me to my second point: I really miss the days of baseplates. They really tied things together and made big city sets seem even bigger--and truly connected. I think that's why the box picture looks so much more impressive to me than the picture of all the separate elements. It's just a shame that, in order to add baseplates, you'd have to spend an extra $15-$30.
Just me that likes the Car then..............
@LusiferSam The policeman is having a break and eating icecream ;)
@LuciferSam - The policeman took off his helmet and stopped to get an ice cream cone.
I love the double decker bus! Has lego done a minifig scale one before?
"Join the capital bus tour and see the world's smallest museum, and the world's largest basketball net" :D
Feels a bit like one of those combo packs than a cohesive set but still some really nice stuff in there. The ice cream van is really cute. Perhaps a baseplate would have tied it together a bit more.
I like elements of this, wish they could have released it as 4 or more seperate sets though. As an EV nut, I love that LEGO is releasing charging stations too now in sets (the first was in the last service station set). I would love a Tesla Speed Champions set, with a Supercharger to accompany the car. But failing that a Porsche Mission E with their own rapid charger would be an awesome set. EVs now outperform ICE cars, it seems inevitable they will make an appearance in Speed Champions should the theme stick around. But most LEGO cars do not have exhaust pipes, so they're all EVs in my imagination.
I don't know about this--I don't see a police station, fire station, -or- hospital!
The empty museum is meh. And I can't stand any more hotdog stands. The bus looks nice, the hotel is too small. This is a sure pass. Not worth the 100+ $$.
Though it is rather plain and glassy, I do like that the museum is a different architectural style than the museum from 60008: Museum Break-in. Both are quite small in relation to the modular buildings and--in general--I don't like that City theme buildings don't have backs. It would be nice to combine the two museums in some way so that each is a different wing of a larger museum. The 60008 one being the Natural History Museum and this one being the Museum of Modern Art. I think I'd switch the Vermeer painting in 60008 for the caveman in this one (I love that that's included).
The hotel is also beautiful, but suffers from the same problems as the museum.
The tour bus is glorious!
The ice cream truck is a much better scale for my city than the LEGO Movie one.
I like the bus stop/hot dog stand. Little builds like this add nice greeble to a city scene.
Suddenly a hundred of my brickfilming problems were instantly solved.
Glad the scarf piece is being used in another set
This set has opened the possibilities for me to complete a lot of MOC's, the Hotel and museum are extra and will be well incorporated.
Nice to see a narrower gauge of bus to allow it to easily traverse the urban streets. Got to wonder about what sights this capital has to offer when the next stop is the Museum and it isn't even built yet.
@Andhe I rarely laugh at anything on online comments but you got me with that one. I’m going to remember that when I’m building this one day.
Most of that is great. A few things I could do without though...
That bus, tho... such a great set. Remake of City Square, certainly, but very complimentary. Love it! Likely $195 USD, though!
A set like this with buildings this close to one another should rightfully include 32x32 roadplates.
This is incredible lego... I loved the hospital & the expert roller coaster but you designers in billund have excelled with this,
The open top bus is beautiful so is the blue car, the construction site scene is great but some scaffolding maybe required (a 2lift independent) or a cherry picker to work at height safely/properly lol.. Both food vendors are nicely detailed, the ice cream one reminds me of the cart in gorilla grodd goes bananas,
10/10 on this lego..
Looks good to me! Especially the front of the box image. If you see all the models on their own some of them look a little less attractive. It's going on the want list, but I suspect it's also going to be expensive...
What?!?!? This is highway robbery! Three large sets in a week???
Ninjago city docks, I can do without (just). The rollercoaster, I simply cannot. This looks slightly smaller than city square (my second-biggest) set. However, the orange smart, blue sports car (unliscenced chiron?) and ice cream... vehice? are irresistible.
But what the **** is up with the m-us-eu-m? It's empty! With so many windows! Well, in the box image, a roof section appears to be being removed... on the day of a special exhibition! It must have been a biiiiiiiiiiig flop!
That's a cool set!
No back on a building has been normal for 40 years but it appears the hotel has no side walls either. If so, that is extremely lazy on Lego's part, especially on a premium set such as this.
I dont like it. The hotel is great, the news stand is ok, and the bus is welcome. But the rest is meh. Small glass wall museum, goodfornothing skateboard field, crap cars. 60097 was so much better.
Loving these city square type sets - I agree with what other people said, though, that the individual parts could use more work. Good concept, iffy execution.
It’s also interesting that it’s called Capital, but there doesn’t seem to be a single government related building.
Unpopular opinion, but this is a pretty meh set if you ask me. The hotel is nice for the size it is, the bus is decent, the blue car is admittably pretty cool, and I like the little Ice Cream cart, but everything else feels half baked. Too many parts when into that skateboard ramp IMO. Not to mention that it'll most likely be overpriced.
Maybe it's my nostalgia for the 2009 City Corner, but this one just isn't for me. I'm glad that most people seem to enjoy it!
Has anyone noticed there is absolutely nothing in the museum? It's just the entrance hall, or in other words, a glass box.
The first time the train door is available in red since 2007, too bad it isn’t a matching pair...
Took me a while to work out why the caveman was there... Night At The Museum anyone?
@theBrickFan There's a primitive/cave-man exhibit. I think with the crane, you take off the roof, then attach the caveman diorama to crane to load into museum from top.
With these type of sets, they are made for customizing. They give you a sketch of the city elements, then you refine to your tastes. Makes for a enjoyable build to add/moc/mod.
I'd add to the museum, expand it a bit. Good start to get a small city-scape going.
What I think is lacking is that they should give bigger plates for the footprints of each building, so to add sidewalk, plants, etc. The hotel is fine, but the museum needs it and more room for the hotdog stand.
This will be overpriced.
So I'll be needing a good discount to make this a worthwhile purchase.
I really like the bus and the sports car, the rest of it seems like stuff that they figured wouldn't sell on its own... it's probably great for a couple of well-off 7-year-olds, I guess.
A great set!!
But as other people say, another hot dog stand!! The bus looks nice, but without steps to go to the upper level.
Museum could be done better.
Perhaps the better element is the hotel!! Finally, a hotel in City!! How many rooms? One or two on the first floor?
However, a great set!! What to do? Buy or not to buy? That is the question!!
This set looks really cool, especially the bus! I like the versatility of all the different parts.
A Town/City hospital first time since 2014 AND a Town/City hotel first time since 1980/2003 both revealed within a week?
YES, FINALLY!
Also the empty museum, made of only about 50 pieces, must have something to do with the United States and the European Union. Is the misnomer "Capital" final or not?
Good Lord! A Lego hotel! A Lego tourist bus (double decker open roof), a Lego museum! This must be too good to be true.
In a more calm manner, I am also very excited to get a porter's uniform. (I think that's what its called, the red uniform). The museum, although a great inclusion, is just a bunch of glass pieces and one exhibit. The police bike looks exactly the same as the 2014 one and the blue car looks rather too similar to the Prison Island police car for my liking.
Despite all that, overall an awesome set! (although we all know it will be ruined by a ridiculous price)
At first I thought the hotel was awesome and that I would probably attempt to buy it as a separate piece but then I realized that they pretty much left it open in the sides. I don't have enough window parts to fill those holes. For some reason I just would really prefer if LEGO would close up the buildings in their sets and just put a wall on hinges or something (like they do with Creator). It looks like they didn't even print the basketball like they used to.
I like parts of this, but not enough to shell out for the whole set...
Would buy Hot-Dog stand and Ice Cream truck as separate sets...
Really digging the Neanderthal display
I keep seeing the US & EU in "museum" as United States & European Union (as in primitive man from those areas) but that might be a total stretch..
Why have a Basketball net the size of the electric car? They could have used that space for something else.
My Lego City budget going to be rough this year.
Hospital, 2 new trains, now a City square, what next a new train station?
The price will determine whether I purchase or not.
For the right price I don't mind half finished buildings, the kids and I treat them as a starting point.

The sight-seeing bus and newspaper stand look pretty cool, but the other parts look half-done, like the hotel and construction building.
Agreed about depends on price.. Considering the standalone bus/station set that's out right now is $50usd by itself..
@legoDad42, I was thinking much the same thing. Perhaps the mostly empty museum is to house not just the neanderthal included in this set but also some of the finds from the forthcoming Arctic range such as the smilodon from https://brickset.com/sets/60193-1/Arctic-Air-Transport and https://brickset.com/sets/60196-1/Arctic-Supply-Aircraft .
Not a big fan of the set overall, but I do love seeing 3177 Small Car (a.k.a. Emmet's car) reused and recoloured.
Love the electric car!
Great set! However, I'm not a huge fan of the blue car's design. A similar design was used in a police set, and I think it looks kind of odd...
@Zander..oh man, yeah. The other prehistoric animals from the new Arctic sets. Ties it all together.
Wish they gave more room in the museum but definitely easy enough to expand on the simple/modern look they gave it to house those other exhibits.
Thx for the tip on that!
The under-construction museum really irks me for some reason. If it was two 1x6x5 panels deep (basically twice the thickness) with two small exhibits plus one hanging item I'd feel better about the whole set. I like most of the individual builds. The sports car & police bike are my least favorite of the vehicles.
My stop motion city could use this but 80$ plz!
These sets definitely seem to be maturing... I like having a tour bus for the first time, I love the hotel facade, and the brightly colored ice cream auto rickshaw is a delight that would look great in Ninjago City. The electric car livery looks exactly like a Subaru Crosstrek/XV, which is funny to see on a smart car body. This might be the first set like this where everything has felt (at least to me) like everything is (1) unique and (2) really succeeds at being what it's supposed to be.
I think it’s always important to remember the target audience, especially with themes like City. As much as we’d like to think so - it’s not us. It’s 6 year olds.
By that token, what’s more important for LEGO; igniting a child’s imagination by giving them a museum to construct with a crane, or providing a complicated hotel for 40 year olds to integrate into their MOC layouts?
LEGO have fantastically appreciated their adult fan base in recent years with some awesome Expert sets - things like City are just a bonus at the end of the day, even if it never matches LEGO from the heyday of our youth.
With that said - bring back road plates in these sets!
^Right on @Chrisaw.
Blah.
Nice overall : ) great addition to any Lego city. My only grip is the lack of quality in the blue car. When you compare these to speed champions, it makes them look a bit goofy. The skate park was a bit not needed imo. I would have preferred a small park/flower garden or even newspaper stand. That orange car is awesome though! We need more mini car vehicles because the city is becoming so congested :) I really wish they make more mini cars every year for like a 7 dollar set or less.
So the hot dog stand and ramp are almost the same size as the hotel??? Wow.
Quite a nice set. If it's not too expensive I might get it. Got the last similar set (60097) for a little under 110 Euro a couple of years back, which seemed like good value for money. If this turns out to be available at some point for a similar price, I'm in.
Pretty good and well thought of set. This set encourages creativity for extension as how a Lego should be. Hopefully the price is also right.
I like that Lego puts out these kinds of sets, but, despite some nice elements like the bus, it seems a bit underwhelming. Makes you realise how good the 60097 City Square set was.
How much is this in the uk?
That’s a massive basketball hoop....
I'd be willing to pay $49.99 to $59.99 for the tour bus and stand. Not the $150 the whole set will cost.
The museum isn't empty - there's a cave man display that goes inside it once it's built - I think it works quite well for play tbh.
I like that Lego has gone environmentally friendly with the electric car dock! :)
Not as good as 60097 but still plenty of play ability for the target market.
So yeh the crane is for putting the Cave Man exhibit into the museum and its not under construction as first thought. Like the inclusion of a hotel and tour bus. The electric car would have been better with a similar charging cable (string) as used in the 60132 service station rather than the hose used.
The police bike and skate park could have been committed to save parts and it would have looked really good with road plates as shown on the box art made in a similar manner as 850929 city Play mat.
Is that what LEGO thinks revolving doors look like?
I never understand who is the target for those collections. Or as someone said, this is the UCS Hoth set for City. If you start at zero, this is nice to get going. But everyone else surely wouldn't buy every single thing of it if sold separately. And still you have to pay for all of it. That I don't understand.
Love the bus. Like the hotel. The rest seems a bit...meh. When I think about what it will cost ... what were we talking about again? They made a rollercoaster?
A lot of people are talking about how big the basketball hoop is. It's not a new piece. In fact I think it's 20 years old, if not then pretty close.
The set is absolutely amazing and feels as a whole. However I don’t think it is ias big as 60097 in terms of the volume and the piece count. It is smaller.
I think there's a lot to like about this set ... commercial, recreational and civic all in one neat little (not really little, but ... ) set.
Someone commented about these sorts of sets appealing to a 6-year-old rather than a 40-year-old who wants an MOC-type layout. I think for my money (and I'm past 40 myself), this set seems a bit complicated for a 6-year-old. Maybe this set is for a 10-year-old at minimum, but the smaller sets with less detailed and less complicated building techniques are for younger builders, I'd guess.
Whether you're MOC or classic city/town, this is a must have, IMO.
You can actually buy this set already at legoland billund! along with the new y-wing fighter, the new ninjago sets, the new friends 'racing' sets and more not yet released sets!
My boys will definitely like these new addition to our City
The bus is cool as well as the Hotel!
A good idea and good set for the target market that is not an AFOL, but for the younger ones to get into larger sets...as an AFOL, will definitely get it, so that I can try (and fail, as I do) to MOD the Hotel and Museum and make them bigger...
Otherwise, can we get different food? Tacos? Burgers? Salad? Subs? I mean, in between pizza and hot dogs, and coffee, it's tiring.
Cool, though it's probably gonna cost both of my arms and legs and than some, considering how much a lot of City sets are.
I don't know...looks like a big disjointed mess to me. Why not just sell the parts as smaller set and assemble as you like. Too much going on without any wow factor anywhere...other then the price i'm sure.
This set is for me the best LEGO City set ever made. I waited for a long time for a nice hotel. The museum also looks great if you leave out the hooks for the crane. The bus is certainly a nice vehicle and the rest is fantastic. I hope this set is not too expensive. I want him for sure!
