LEGO City Sets for January 2025 -

[@sandra1620-ni]

So glad to see new 'City' vehicles are being released. My small Lego town uses the standard width road plates so I don't have room for Speed Champions cars 😊

[@MinifigJez]

I agree entirely... if it's not 4 or 6 studs wide, it's too big for my city !!!!

[@danionescu1271]

Agreed. I always thought Speed Champions cars are very nice and detailed, but as a standalone thing, as they feel disproportionate to any Lego City

[@kerngezond6953]

@@MinifigJezI made the bug into a feature in my city. I’m not really into cars that much but I liked the Lamborghini Lambo V12, so I only bought that one. It is definitely too big but I put the car into the beach promenade part of my city. That way the story is that it’s driven by a Minifig on its way to the beach to show off, and disregarding the fact that its car is too big for the small promenade roads. He’s clearly stuck in traffic with onlookers looking somewhat annoyed and a lifeguard approaching him to ask him to get the hell out of there. Most people buy these things because they think they’re awesome. I bought it because I think that, while cool, it is indeed not practical and think this is a fun way to show it. 😄

[@MinifigJez]

@@kerngezond6953 I'm LOVING the back story... nicely thought out. I originally bought all the speed champios cars from 2015 to 2019, but when they went 8-wide in 2020 I decided to only buy the ones that I had any sort of affinity with, like eteh Quattro and the Contact... (Coz I;m an 80's kid at heart!!!) They are just too big for a LEGO City.

[@kerngezond6953]

@@MinifigJez Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m kinda new into the hobby after a big hiatus since childhood so I’m not all that familiar with the history of LEGO. Never knew that the Speed Champions used to be smaller.

[@Mr.AtheTriggerGalleon6310]

All of these sets are pure fire! The Sports Car looks like something from Cyberpunk 2077. I definitely want all of them!

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, LEGO City is off to a very good start in 2025.

[@cleverduck3921]

These look like really good sets. I really like that the ambulance, mountain truck, and lifeguard truck all look like they are designed to fit two minifigs side-by-side, like many of the speed champions cars do. Even as a kid, back in the 80s, it always kind of bothered me that the LEGO cars could only fit one figure, or at most two; one in front, and one sitting behind. The sports car looks good, but I'll probably try to modify it, to make it fit two minifigs as well. The scrapyard set looks really cool as well.

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, it's a really strong wave of sets to start 2025 with.

[@dweebteambuilderjones7627]

I definitely plan on getting the ambulance in January, I missed out on the Emergency Vehicles HQ set due to its price & the fact it's being discontinued.

[@MinifigJez]

sorry you didn’t manage to get the Emergency Vehicle HQ set, but even though the ambulance in that set was good, this one is so much better looking.

[@mastermouldie]

That new car bonnet/sun roof element looks so cool. I might have to pick up one of these cars for my city!

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, much nicer than teh old piece that didn't open, gives you so many more options with it.

[@danionescu1271]

Well, in the 90's we used to have roof piece with translucent hinged sunroof, it's about time they brought something like this back

[@MinifigJez]

@@danionescu1271 I LOVED that piece! I think my favourite set that I own, which has one in the set is 6661. I made a video about the set a few years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXPVg5t7hpKkoc0

@@danionescu1271 Yes.. you just gotta love 4-wide vehicles!

[@Lynxfan2]

Hi there Minifig Jez, are you intending on creating a video of combining both the Lifeguard Truck with the Lifeguard Station? I would like to see a new Hospital build to go with the new Ambulance vehicle. Also I wonder if LEGO will release a new Passenger Railway Station to replace the one that is retiring? Personally none of the new range, apart from Brick Cross and Hogsmeade, beat the LEGO Railway Station set 2150 from the 9 volt era. Best wishes and take care. Kind regards, Peter Skuce. St Albans. Hertfordshire.

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, I was thinking about modifying the Lifeguard Tower anyway, but with teh new truck, I DEFINITELY need to now! The 2150 Train station (and it's Yellow twin) are GREAT stations, I never had either of them.but of all the stations that I have bought these are a few that I think have also been quite good ones: - I really like the design of the World City 4513 Grand Central Station. - The pillars on the 7997 Train Station from 2007 are nice. - 7937 Train Station from 2010 is unique because it has two platforms and a footbridge over, between them. (If I ever put it in a LEGO City, the bridge needs extending so it can cross two tracks!) - 60050 Train Station from 2014 is cool coz it has a Lego shop inside!!!! - And I know it's not City, but 71044 Disney Train Station is amazing! Let me know what you think.

[@Lynxfan2]

@@MinifigJez - I agree with you that they Disney Railroad Station is amazing.

[@BrickLoft]

The lifeguard truck looks decent value with the included accessories but that scrapyard is a great idea and I love that car crushing play feature.

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, the scrapyard is great coz its such a different idea to the normal police and fire sets.

[@Krautline]

Since I love everything beach and ocean that lifeguard truck is my must buy in early 2025. Planning to build my own beach and will be great to have more "beachy" stuff.

[@MinifigJez]

Yes I agree. And like I said, I think it's going to look GREAT with 60328 Beach Lifeguard Station from 2022

[@Krautline]

@@MinifigJez I think so too. Have to build a back wall to the tower though so the lifeguard don´t fall down accedentally when he´s taking a nap...

[@MinifigJez]

@@Krautline Yes, I agree. I'm thinking, a back wall and twice the depth too. maybe a stair case rather than just a ladder, and space for the new truck to park. - I'll start planning it in Stud.io and then get the parts together so I'm ready to go when the truck comes out January!

[@HammerBrickBlock]

The scrap yard is a great idea and a great addition for a full and complete city display or diorama. However, I am still more interested in the trucks, sports car, and ambulance. Personally I'd like some more useful buildings to add to a city display or diorama to have a more complete city. I wonder what 2025's City sub themse will be. (more Space?, Arctic:, Jungle, Submarine, Volcano, Mining, something else?)

[@MinifigJez]

Lego normally give us a great building in June (ice cream shop, Grocery Store) so let’s hope they follow tradition and release a building in June 2025. the sub-theme seems to be F1, it’s like space was last January, and is crossing lots of themes, right down to Duplo!

[@HammerBrickBlock]

@@MinifigJez Maybe Space will continue into 2025 because it looks like there is a new LEO City Space polybag for 2025. We'll see what nice building they have for June of 2025. F1 looks nice, but I still prefer the more adventure type themes.

[@MinifigJez]

@@HammerBrickBlock Yes, there are 2 city poly bags revealed so far, Police water scooter and a space mech (link below) I think I'd be surprised if they continue teh space theme, as they released them in January and June but none since. If it was continuing, I;d expect some the January too. BUT... who knows, Lego might just be trying to fool us and then give us more later on in the year!!!! brickset.com/sets/query-8523/year-2025/theme-City

[@BendyBricks]

I’m going to get the jungle jeep to go with A Frane cabin. Think that could work

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, it would look awesome parked outside the cabin.

[@eastcoast-UK]

nice lot coming out it seems, the lifeguard looks a good set to have

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, I hope they extend teh theme and give us a few more beach/lifeguard sets too

[@deltanine81]

You can build a garage addition to the lifeguard station. For the truck. Not sure if someone else already suggested it.

[@MinifigJez]

I don;t think I've had a comment like that yet, but I had already thought of it, and have started planning teh Lifeguard station set MOD in Stud.io, so I'm ready to go in January when the Truck is released.

[@_Tony_87]

I’m definitely getting that scrapyard ❤

[@MinifigJez]

yes. it looks a really cool set.

[@TheMatthewCraig]

Medical builds have been a lamentable gap in my collection. They don't often put medics on the front of the City comic, do they? Either way, that ambulance is on my wantlist. The functionality reminds me of the annual food truck and recreational vehicle. I've bought a couple of camper vans in sales to mine for bits, and I think I'll have to keep an eye on this ambulance as well. Other than that, the scrapyard looks fab, but too rich for my blood. That red sports car, though...I've got that torso in my Pick A Brick basket ready to go, but I think I'll take it out. I'm going to be interested to see if any vehicles or builds swap themes between City and Friends. I'm thinking of the supermarket and recycling truck, here. (I'm also hoping to get an Emerson Fittipaldi minidoll in the F1 subtheme, ngl).

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, medical themed sets are definitely rarer than fire and police! I see what you mean about the ambulance and teh food trucks though. Hopefully we will see a lot more images over the next few days/weks and will see other themes (like friends) too.

[@danionescu1271]

Lifeguard truck and ambulance, definitely, mountain truck only If those sidepanels are printed, and they still might be, I mean they were able to give us some of those in the monster truck and burger van earlier this year.

[@MinifigJez]

Let's hope so. I think I can see a line around the edge in the released photos though, so I won't hold my breath.

[@GreenNastyRabbit]

3rd and 4th sets definitely for me too yep ❤

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, I think the Lifeguard Truck and Sports Car might be my two favourites too.

[@brinnbuildslego]

Ambulance looks cool

[@MinifigJez]

Yes it definitely does.

[@DARTHBRIXLEGO]

I just might get that red car. scrapyard looks neat, but I wouldn't want to pay that much. definitely a good price, but I don't want it enough. I heard there were some leaks of a 2025 camper van, has that been revealed yet?

[@MinifigJez]

The Camper van (RV style) hasn't been revealed officially yet, but you might be able to find a leaked image of it on Reddit. I know what you mean about the scrapyard, its good value but there are other things I'd spend that amount of money on, it's great, but not at the top of my wanted list!

[@talongaming7995]

i think that the coast guard truck, ambulance are good but could still use some work and the junkyard makes not really much sense i think that it should be a sports garage but not a junkyard I think that Lego should reconsider looking into junkyards since I think they should use a big baseplate and have mutiple stuff in their and keeping the crusher is fine but make it more bigger as like a large set and for the cars they look more like a speed champions car the red one and does fit in city but I think the new police sets aren't really fitting in and instead of seeing 'City' I see more sports cars, racing cars, or speed champions lookalikes which is I guess is okay but not really enjoy it also the tire that they used to have was Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide, Band Around Center of Tread which if I am correct they used in a ton of city sets and other sets I but I wonder when they are going to use those tires again. Also some of these sets feel small and incomplete which I don't hate it but could be a few more pieces to fit the price would be justifiable. Once again for the junkyard it lacking a lot and could be more I saw a moc of a junkyard and I think thats better then the one that Lego is releasing and the one that Lego releasing looks like a race garage but differentiated to a junkyard which looks to good to be a junkyard and barely any ground to but any cars in I think that there should be more cars, a small workshop/garage, junkyard props, the owner of the junkyard's car, fencing/or walls. and to be more little things that really bring it to life and a small camper that acts as a kitchen which in this case is the moc was made by LegoParadise which is a great junkyard he made.

[@MinifigJez]

I think this is meant to be just a car scrap yard. We have them in teh UK, it's just for scrapping cars, people can buy parts off them, until there's not much left and then it gets crushed into a small metal cube! Just like the crusher in this set does. If they had named the set "Car Scrap Yard" it probably would have helped your pre conceptions often set. As for buildings instead of cars... June is traditionally more the time they release City Buildings (like the Ice cream shop and the Grocery store) so don't despair yet.

[@BrickedUp-d9h]

Lowkey just finished my 1st of 2 stars for a Hoth and your videos make it way less mundane on the other hand glad about the car crusher cus it sucks there isn’t any verity in buildings in general especially since the vehicles wanted by fans are not made like a peel p50 a new 8 wide speed champions Bugatti a ucs nu class star fighter or a warehouse although if the f1 sets are at the established 20$ price point I’m gonna pick them all up day one although the f1 style cars we got for speed champions where mid I’m hoping the theme based around these cars has some better designs

[@MinifigJez]

The Speed Champions sets will always be more detailed than the City sets I'm afraid. So all the new F1 cars in the S.C. theme will look better than the City F1 cars. But I imagine the City ones will be a LOT cheaper. and the extras in the City sets look great, like the pit crews, transport truck and parts of race track. So S.C. has some benefits, but City has others.

[@MartSML1]

YESSSS NEW LEGOOOO!!!!!

[@MinifigJez]

And all good looking sets too

[@CAJUNAFOL]

I love the fact that the lifeguard truck doesn’t have middle seating and you can seat the figures side by side Lego needs to move away from the middle seating in my opinion.

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, it works for vehicles this size, but not at the 4-wide small city cars (like teh new red sports car) that's when they need to stay in the middle.

[@Studious_Studios]

i think the cool guy is polishing his red sports car with a chamois, not a sponge. i love these kind of ideas, made with only one part !

[@MinifigJez]

Good point, you CLEAN with a sponge... and polish with a CHAMOIS ! thanks for pointing it out !

[@jacksonyu6065]

The scrap yard doesn’t really make sense. They should’ve made it so old beaten up cars come in and you can piece together one that looks purposely mismatched

[@MinifigJez]

that would be a great feature! I think that’s why you can swap the front bumpers, it looks like ther are “damaged” bumpers that can be taken off. but maybe it’s not enough damage to warrant crushing the car !!!!

[@Shlovakiye]

Jez is it worth it to collect all spacemans classic?

[@MinifigJez]

I had most of the original ones since I was a kid, and I bought the others as they have been released. But if you are starting now, it's going to cost quite a lot of money to collect them all. So it depends on how much you wan mohave them. And how much money you want to spend on them.

[@Shlovakiye]

@MinifigJez I do have many I just dont have green and gray and dark blue so I asked a amazing lego collector aka (lego jewelery man) who knows if the gold(lego) is real thanku

[@MinifigJez]

@@Shlovakiye Currently there is NOT a gold Lego spaceman, so if you've seen one, it won't be a genuine Lego minifigure. Some people get normal Lego minifigures and then plate them in a chrome gold or silver colour, but they aren't made by Lego. There was a vote on which colour should be next for the spacemen, and Pearl Gold was one of the choices, but Lego haven't told us which colour won yet.

[@MinifigJez]

I think you are right with the ambulance with regard to it's wheels, they are definitely "low profile" racing tyres ! But the actual LOOK of the ambulance I love, because it looks so much more like a UK Ambulance that I'd see every day. The one from the 2022 hospital looked great, but I think it was much more of a U.S. style ambulance, so not something that Id connect to as much. - What do you think?

@ I live in the US so I see us style ambulances a lot and the one I see most commonly is a ford super duty ambulance and I would love if Lego did something like that since a lot of Lego fans are American and Lego has done a lot of European ambulances before but the 2022 ambulances was like the first true American looking ambulance but I can see how you would like that

Is the yellow color on the truck, the new flame yellow color that the new construction excavator uses

The construction excavator was what Lego call "Flame Yellowish Orange" and Bricklink call: "Bright Light Orange" which is the same colour as the Land Rover Defender from last year. Aand if you flick between a picture of that: brickset.com/sets/40650-1/Land-Rover-Classic-Defender and the Lifeguard Truck: brickset.com/sets/60453-1/Lifeguard-Truck I think the Lifeguard truck is more orange than than the excavator and Defender. But they are just computer renders, and could easily just look different.

[@MinifigJez]

Ive just looked at teh Bricklink colour chart, and I think you're right it HAS to be the same colour as teh Excavator. The only colours slightly more orange are: 1) Light Orange - which was discontinued in 2002 or 2) Medium Orange - which was discontinued in 2003 Then we get to regular Orange, and it's DEFINITELY not that colour!
