Hmmm intresting 0.o

If you're going to recolor, recolor 75280 and 75283 . That is what fans want,not more Creator recolors.

Interesting that these sets are all in a new number series 774xx and not using new set numbers in the original series - wonder why that is?

What about re-release of 7996? :D

It's an odd decision to come up with a whole new 77xxx series considering they basically release the same things every 3 years or so with minor adjustments.

That dinosaur set is still available for sale. I can see why Lego is just changing colors. I'm fine with that one.

I own the Fire Station. It's a nice set. I'm not sure if it's Lego being lazy or just deciding it's a good enough set so why change it?

You mean, recolour, right? :P
Although 7996 in yellow would be nice, just saying...

In all fairness I really like the 77940

Not against the concept but these particular set choices seem strange to me. Is the dinosaur the first set re-released twice?

These along with Fiat seem like such a random combination of sets to rerelease... I'd honestly expect some long-gone fan favorites before sets that are still sold or went away not that long ago.

My guess with the Fire Department is that it’s to see if they could just stick with a basic fire station on the shelves that is always available. The designs of fire/police stations are already quite similar, so it would make sense to not just re-hash the same model over and over again. Plus I doubt kids are going to buy more than one anyway.

As for the colors, I agree with the options driving sales. Not that it’s a bad thing, though! I love having choice, and I definitely would have bought some creator sets if they were in my favorite color.

"2021 already gave us 60283: Holiday Camper Van, a revision of 60057: Camper Van from 2014.

"

Except 60057 was a far superior set.

Looking at differences between the fire stations: All the minifigures are different, there is one less figure, the fire chief appears to be a woman, the side build is the same as the one the ripcord helicopter that I have instead of a hot dog cart, the helicopter pad is now raised, most of the white on the vehicles has changed to either dark bluish gray or cool yellow, the Fire logos throughout the set differ from the original's, and the box makes it look so much cooler. I personally don't believe LEGO's lost any creativity, but that this is a wonderful idea.

Lol, those would be the last sets I ever want to be recoloured."

Point taken

How about redoing 6382 but instead of gray you swap it for light blueish gray. I'd go for that.

Strangely, and unfortunately, 60204 was not available for a very long time.

Am i the only one hating it when wheels protrudes outside of the vehicles (exception for big-foot 4x4 trucks)? This car would look reasonable if the wheels were under the fenders/archwheels - like this, it is enough for me for not buying it either for myself or for kids.

60110 looks no different, apart from the thing that's on fire.

I love this move, actually! It’s amazing for part collectors AND people who missed out on the initial set/didn’t like it’s colors. Oh, and in a way it also helps people who already own the first version to not feel obliged to buy a new one since it’s practically the same thing instead of a fully new design or totally different set. That does sound like an odd market strategy though, so maybe I’m thinking too hard about this lol. I’m just hoping they’re gonna rerelease vehicle sets in new colors now too, specifically Speed Champs and some Creator Expert or Technic as well. I need more orange for my orange shelf!

Which I don’t even have yet but I’ve had the idea for so long now, it’s just that orange is a severely underused color so my orange collection is too small for a display of its own ;)

interested to see if it's the same price or if they accounted for inflation

I hope so, a re run of some very wa ted SW sets will be more than welcomed.

As uncle to an 8 year old who loves dinos, I can easily see picking up both brown and blue variants of that set.

This is interesting. Although I would prefer unique sets opposed to re-released sets I do like the color variants of Mighty Dinosaur sets. The fire station set maybe the result of supplying a retired set to people who do not own it.

I'm looking at the Cafe Corner...
With a Medieval Market Village we very most likely still wouldn't get goats. Pigs maybe.

Well, I will have two dinos now.

Now make pink shark and I'll have three of them.

Is that a dumpster fire in the lower left corner of 77944? I kinda hope so.

@Zordboy:
I hope you like it even better in dark-blue, since that’s what color it appears to be.

@meesajarjar72:
Sure. Ideas, Dimensions, and the new 18+ set. But not that other thing from that movie that almost killed the franchise. That’s not even the same base vehicle.

I am in the same boat - not gonna lie, I am super-excited about the release of 77940 and 77941! We have 3 sets of the original already, for one reason or another, and was contemplating buying 2 more as they’re 2 for £15 at Argos at the moment. Will definitely snap these up - they’re going to look awesome all together! Esp with the Jurassic World polybag T-Rex as a baby… (rubs hands with glee… who are these sets for anyway? ;)

"Honestly, I kinda applaud them here, at least on the fire station. I don't really know why you would want to bring out a new fire station every year anyway, nor do I understand not having on in some years. A fire and a police station should be something that is always available for purchase. No one will care, if one is being sold for 3 years straight anyway. I generally feel like Lego is pushing out way to much in a too short timespan, and no kid can realistically keep up with much of the throughput of the themes in a year."

Shops care
They like having “new” product, so rereleasing even the same set under a different code means it will get higher buy-in from the big stores.
If they just keep the same set going for that long it will stop being stocked"

I'd argue that this argument doesn't work for the targeted demographic of 4-12 year olds, where mostly parents buy the Lego for their kids. A new fire/ police station isn't necessary every year, because 99% of parents will say "we got you a police/fire station last year already, why do you need a second one". Also, the thing with letting some popular sets remain on the market for longer worked excellently in the past, 7237 and some accompanying sets sold for ages, so did 7744 and 7945 . Stores don't care as long as the stuff sells, and as the past has shown, the stuff absolutely sells. And if it's just changing the number, who cares honestly...

I just want a rerelease of Ninjago city and docks, especially as the gardens are out and there’s a rumoured 4th modular in the way in 2022.

I wonder if the Fire Station re-release is related to the cartoon show production schedule.

It is weird that LEGO is doing two recolors of the same set at the same time, along with modifying an already existing build. It feels like they are oversaturating the market with similar sets. The biggest contributor to this is the Creator Expert Vehicles, when LEGO released three sets within a few months, and only the Pickup Truck has my interest. If LEGO is re-releasing an older set, at least do a fan poll first.

I want the blue dinosaur.

BTW, the recolours and fire station seem fine. I would expect a hospital being popular as well, especially with the good looking ambulance from https://brickset.com/sets/60204-1/City-Hospital .
Or just the ambulance. Seeing the importance and attention to medical care for the current times, I would expect to see more of that. Like https://brickset.com/sets/5006366-1/Surgeon-Key-Light

I think that's interesting to observe this experiment. Some folks prefer this colour over that colour, and some others have probably missed 1 or 2 big sets they wanted to get their hands on, from LEGO and not from other sources. It's been a while since they did that sort of thing too.

@RobA:
Or this is the side effect of Vidiyo being “retooled” and absorbing some of the Creator and City design budgets for the year...

I don't have any interest in theses, but LEGO if you re-release a new 10210 it'll be an instant buy for me and probably many others.

I know a kid who saved his money for a long time to buy that Fire Station, only to find it had just been retired when he finally had enough! Maybe he could get the new one!

With the Fiat set I have a feeling it is not entirely Lego's choice. In my local airport they have the actual new Uno model on display with a large billboard size advert and its in a light blue colour. I feel this is Fiat's new marketing since generally blue cars are more popular than bright yellow ones.

Except minor changing in colour, the burning pipe in 77944 seems identical to 60248 Fire Helicopter Response which replaces the hot dog stand in 60110

Revised Cafe Corner with interiors, please, LEGO

"How extraordinary.

I gotta be honest, I actually really like the Creator Tyrannosaurus in black, with the pale yellow underbelly. I'm probably going to buy that, yeah."

Pretty sure its dark blue

Part of me *still* wants the original City firetruck, 7239 that I never picked up as a kid. It's an evergreen idea, just like these sets, and I don't see much of a difference between re-releasing a fire station or just making another one. Thinking back to being a kid, I probably would have wanted the first one I saw anyways, even if it was out of production, just like 7239. It's not like they're not making creative stuff, either, it's just that TLG isn't wasting time and money on remaking a good concept and is instead trying to figure out how to make stuff like a working typewriter. It's a win-win in my book.

my dream is a platform where fans can vote for an old retired set and each year the most voted will become a new "legend" set.

I would also accept some small limitations: no old technologies now disused (no monorail, no 9V trains ... sorry guys!), no brands they no longer have the rights (Back to the Future...), new parts to replace the old ones and you can choose only sets of at least 20 years old!

I wish they'd do simple revisions more often, instead of relaunching entirely new Luke's Landspeeder models every 3 years. Just tweak what works and keep it on shelves, like they did the death star.

What do I think prompted LEGO's decision to produce these revised sets?

Laziness?

Designers block?

Trolling LEGO fans?

I have three of the original Mighty Dinosaurs (one for each build).
And darnit, I'm sorely tempted to get three of each of these.

I don't see this as a negative thing, ngl, especially for the T-Rex.
It gives consumers more choice now that there are colour variations.
I didn't even buy the dinosaur originally but might now that a blue one is gonna come out (which I like more).
Bringing back something from the past doesn't instantly mean "lazy" or "money-hungry". TLG is better than that.

The dinosaur set is superb. My daughter (who loves dinos) has three copies of it. Probably don’t check the set on Rebrickable or you’ll want a dozen of the things.

I don't quite understand the fuss, giving us new options for sets in different colors is a excellent idea in my opinion and well justified with sets that sell well, time will tell if this is going to backfire or actually do Lego well financially but I for one am all for rereleases and recolors, I don't resell sets so the value of my sets going down because of a rerelease is irrelevent and it's much more fair to people who missed out on some sets.

It's obvious Lego is expanding their product range not just in target audiences but even new color palettes and some rereleases here and there and that to me means more options to pick from, so in a way I guess we should be happier?

Time for a Ninjago City recolor? :-P

I hope they do well (the Fiat certainly) and expand it to Star Wars, too.
Many vehicles could be offered in multiple colors but are never available simultaneously which is plain weird when it comes to some like Jedi Starfighters of which the last time they released two at the same time was a 2005 US exclusive kit, while in the shows they work in pairs 95% of the time.
Or Jangos Slave One which is always snubbed by Boba versions.
Same with clone troopers which Lego thinks one Battlepack of a mostly white version is the most they can have on shelves as when they would have done a wave with 4 Battlepacks and based them all on main movie clone legions (501st, 212th, Shocktroopers, 327th, Galactic Marines) they could have made bank. Instead they chose made up sandy camo clones, Senate Commandos of which there were only 8 on screen at the same time tops, and Shadow Guards which are a very rare video game enemy and released about 7 years too late.

Star Wars is really limited by these restrictions. Blue-brixx is the best evidence that they should consider more alternate versions of things that make sense to have many of like regular cars and houses.

Dino set rocks. City is probably the weakest theme in general, so a repeat is actually the worst.

@Chilis_no said:
"Call 911, they have really run out of creativity. If it only was the modulars.... Or a new theme called LEGO RETRO, a copy/paste from the 80s.... Mmmmm."

I don't think they would do this - at least not now or any time soon. However, they did re-released some of the classic vintage sets (Black Falcons' Castle, Black Seas Barracuda, Enchatnted Island, etc.) on the beginning of the 2000's, but they were in bad financial situation, and it was rather desperate move.

This is beyond sad. Come on, wasn’t Lego to be „a new toy everyday“ once upon a time? And now they’re rehashing the most basic designs?

31058 Mighty Dinosaurs has been in stock for years which must indicate it's in high demand. I own two copies so I can keep two built. I'll be selling one to get 77940 and maybe even 77941. Recolors of high demand sets is a great idea.

This is a pretty lazy move on their part, particularly with the fire station and dinosaurs. We get a fire station every three years, always different from the ones before, and there’s so many Creator creatures that come out that there isn’t any reason for a rerelease.

The Fiat I kind of understand (please do the 2016 Beetle at one point), but I see no reason for that either, especially due to the fact it is still available.

Seriously, we don’t need a direct rerelease; just remakes.

They are clearly testing waters...
I do understand the Fire station (it was really ggod), but that dino was a shelfwarmer? I can still find it randomly in stores.

@Nesquik:
The comments about lack of ideas do have merit when they’re repeating sets like this. Remember, they reissued the Winter Village Toy Shop because they hadn’t bothered to design a new WV set that year, and one of the designers (wisely) though they should at least try to put something out for a theme that, unbeknownst to them, had become a family holiday tradition for many families. But they also lost a ton of sales because anyone who already owned the first version may have decided to skip it.

Low risk, low reward. These reissues involve very little design work, so overhead is technically lower (as long as you ignore the fact that any designers who are on salary get paid the same regardless), but sales absolutely will drop off as theme collectors decide to give sets a pass on the basis that they already own one version.

The flip side of this is that the dinos and Fiat do appear to have merit as color packs, so they may still see boosted sales if the recolored parts are more desirable than being a repeat set makes them undesirable. Hopefully they don’t go full Hot Wheels on their product line and offer recolors if nearly every set they produce.

@blueshift:
The fire station will sell to anyone looking to buy _a_ fire station, and who don’t already own the first version. Theme collectors may have a hard time deciding if they consider these to be new sets or just reissues that they can skip.

@PDelahanty:
I dunno...I’ve been to Manhattan in winter, and the hot dog carts smell like a tire fire.

I don't dislike the idea of set rereleases with new color palates, but I do dislike seeing the same fire station being released for the umpteenth time. The only fire station I'd be okay with a rerelease of would be the modular set.

If you're going rehash an older fire station, at least make it a quality one, like those from the late 80s or early 90s, e.g. 6571. Only minor part adjustments needed, make AFOLs happy, and produce a "new" product not seen by their target demographic. Broken tooling or not, I can't see there being THAT much life in that fire station design. A revolving door on a fire station, seriously??!?

Releasing a recolor of a car or a dinosaur makes sense, IMO, as you can capture a larger market. For instance, I have no interest in the white Porsche, but release it in red, and I'd buy it. Similarly, make the Creator Mustang in green and change a few parts, TLG could capture a ton of Bullitt fans.

The Fire Station re-do is no surprise because Fire and Police have been mainstay elements of City for over 40 years and TLG are sure enough completists will buy it. As for the Mighty Dinosaurs, I'm reminded a bit of the Creator aircraft sets i.e. the blue and red ones in a way, but having just last week bought the original, I find it VERY strange that somebody thought: "What's a good alternative to Green and Tan dinosaurs? Hmm, Dark Orange and Dark Tan? Yeah! Now what's another alternative? I know! DARK BLUE AND BRIGHT LIGHT YELLOW!!!"
That kind of thinking created 11007 with a two-tone green dog...

I prefer the more honest re-do / re-release approach they're taking here, rather than the more iterative-but-still-kind-of-the-same approach they took in the past. So many police stations over the past 10 years have been essentially the same, but a LITTLE different, and it was a bit weird.

And releasing recolours or remolds of existing toys is just the standard business model for nearly every other toy manufacturer; it is absolutely bizarre that Lego - who has the easiest way to make this happen - haven't been doing this much before now.

My favourite part, as always, is the crying, moaning and complaining from out of touch AFOLs though...wonderful stuff...

If they recoloured the vidyo sets they might have better luck.

The reason these is a new fire station is that recent ones have been so poor. 60215 from 2019 did not even include a fire engine.

For an avid LEGO Star Wars collector, this is neither shocking nor new.

7142 and 7152 were almost exact repeats, 7264 had the shuttle previously released as 7166. 75102 was recolored as 75149, just to name a few. Add the subtle and minor redesigns for 3 versions of the Millennium Falcon Microfighter or the numerous Snowspeeders based on 4500.

I’m all for this. 2150 and 4554 are both brilliant. Doing recolouring properly is creative and inspiring in its own way. Doing it on the cheap like the locomotives sets from the early 2000s was woeful.

I like this trend and I’d like to see more of it. To anyone who vehemently disagrees I ask only what would they say to a recoloured Café Corner, Green Grocer or other modular building set? I’ll be surprised if this isn’t where LEGO are headed next. With sensitive tweaks and adjustments much of the back catalogue could make a reappearance in a form that’s both marketable and desirable to a large number of fans. And in my eyes that would be no bad thing.

The dino sets seem to be featuring Jurassic World inspired colors (rexy brown and indoraptor black). Maybe parents will pick these up thinking they are new sets from the movies?

@Lyichir said:
"To be honest if I had to guess at a root "cause" for reissues like this, I'd reckon the most obvious one would be the ongoing global pandemic.

Last year Lego had to transition to remote work when Denmark was under its strictest pandemic restrictions, which meant that the design teams, which normally work in an office with a huge supply of parts that they can use to design sets in a close-knit, collaborative environment, had to work from home with far fewer of those benefits. That very well could have impacted the number of sets that could be carried all the way through the design process from concept to finished product in time for next year, all while the pandemic was simultaneously driving the demand for Lego sky-high!

So it's not hard to understand how minor updates to sets like these (which had already gone through most of the necessary testing and design work necessary to be put into production) could be seen as an attractive sort of "stopgap", allowing Lego to put out the same sort of range of products people expect even with the efficiency of their design teams being reduced. I expect there will still be newly-designed Creator and City sets on shelves alongside these, but selling them alongside variants of proven hits from previous years helps to take some of the pressure off those design teams so that they can continue to put their best work toward new designs even under less than optimal working conditions.

I am curious whether, if that's the case, we might see similar reissues/variants in other themes, including ones I collect like Ninjago. It's not too hard to imagine a set like this year's Legacy Fire Dragon being modified slightly and being sold as an update of the original Ice Dragon."

Agreed. These, at least the ones such as the Fire Station are likely a stopgap measure caused by Pandemic Work and Production limitations. The multicolor Creator Options may actually be intended to be out simultaneously? Either each merchant gets the set in a different color? Or the set is offered in 3 colors? This might be an experiment.

My guess on the Fiat and possibly Mustang is they were running short on time for a replacement due to the Pandemic at the same time the amount in stock was dwindling. Since they would need to do another factory run of them just to maintain some shelf stock at that price point and market segment, they may have opted to do a color change. Which could be a pretty cool idea. If they need to do a second or third production run of popular Creator Expert sets such as the large cars, differentiate them with a color change. This way those who just want A Fiat or Mustang can still get it, while the obsessive compulsive AFOL's buy it twice. (and Lego is not the first to learn this lesson about the Adult Hobbiest Collectors. Bandai and Hasbro have been doing it for years).

Did anyone buy the FIRST mighty dinosaurs? It seems ridiculous to me that they made two more.

I'll pitch this idea to LEGO: CASTLE. More Black Falcons, Wolfpack, Red Lions, Green Dragons etc. Castle died a decade ago, but the demand is there,....

@Faefrost:
They don’t just produce a single run of most retail releases. For convention exclusives, or oddities like the Osprey, sure. But look at the UCS MF. The first version had a 1st Edition release which sold out in preorders. That means if you bought one in a store, you were getting a later production run. The second version sold out on the VIP launch day, so even those who bought a copy later that year to score a VIP Black card got it from the second or later production run. If they changed colors every time they fired up a new production run, it would be impossible to keep track of, and throw their element inventory in disarray as any other sets that shared those elements could be affected.

From a corporate standpoint, color changes after so many years might be manageable, which seems to be what they’re doing with the Fiat and dinos. From an AFOL standpoint, it’s going to be a mixed bag. Some will benefit from the availability of new elements due to the color changes, while others will find it harder to get the elements that were phased out with each color change. Collectors will be left in a tough bind as they have to figure out if it’s worth trying to collect every variant, just buy the first one, or wait for a better color option. And of course, licensed models like the Ecto-1 and Bond’s Aston Martin only make sense in their original color schemes.

I believe they call this "Juniors" now. Haha

Interesting quandary for TLG, as the fire station will be competing against the original in the secondary markets which for generic mass produced city sets usually sell for 1/3 to 1/2 of their original value.

And that's only the people on brickset....think about that!

Fire Station going back to Red helmet figs = good with the 2019 version, compatible in style too, with the same logo and light yellow.

As for recolors, that's very cool to see, that Dino set is great, mayble a bit outdated with the hindlegs but still a succesful set.

Hope to see more variants of sets like the last 6 years or so of 3-in-1 Houses/buildings/shops.

A recolor of the 3-in-1 Castle with different faction could be amazing as well, but 2022 would be too soon.

Wasn't it similar with the complete arctic expedition?

I am an avid Town/City LEGO collector since the movable minifig came out in 1978. I have almost every Town/City set ever produced. I am really struggling to find a reason to buy the 2021 Fire Station when there are only small variances in the 2016 version I already own. If they are going to remake a set for ones that people have missed, they should remake the most popular set like they did with City Corner (7641 and 60031) or Main Street (6390 and 10041).

That is just my opinion.

For the dino set, it has just over 22,000 Amazon ratings, so yes it is mighty (no pun intended) popular.

Maybe 31203 World Map will get a recolor next.

As for the remake of 60110, this has been probably the best Fire station so far, the most recent is just meager in comparison with.

the mighty dino makes total sense beside the fact that the green one just went out of production.
because all 3 sets are realy worth building and having them all build at the same time in 3 different colours! for example: t-rex brown, triceratops green and pteranodon in dark blue. would look awesome in a jungle setting!
