I really hope there is more to come in this farm / grocery subtheme. Considering it's such an essential aspect of city life Lego has ignored it far too long in my opinion. I could see a greenhouse set fit right in for example.
I like when Lego implement easy modularity in their set, it's nice that they thought of that on the garden/farm part. Shame for the non-easily removable roof on the truck but with it being quite open on three sides, I can see why they didn't. About the price: 29,99€ (with vat) on the official french Lego shop, regular shops pretty often drop it by around 5€ pretty quick after release, so we should get it for 25€ with a tiny bit of patience.
I think it should be a $25 set, but was expecting decent retail to be $30. I figured with 2022 prices Lego max would price it at $40. But $45? That's insanely over priced! Who can afford this as a gift for a kid? We always kept gifts at $30 or under.
What’s cool is that the orange slopes in the trunk make it easy for the grocery store forklift to drive up and pick up crates. I really appreciate the system that the designers have gone with for this theme, I’m interested to see if the produce in the new cargo train works the same way
UK and Euro prices seem about right, the US price is way out. I'll probably get this, we might well see it reduced here in the UK anyway by some retailers and if it is sold for £20 that's a steal.
This is a great set and would make a perfect addition to my LEGO city! Unfortunately it sells for $59.99 in Canada and I can't justify paying that much for it!
One thing i love about lego. Even their 4/5+ line is actually really good. I only weird about taking lower age sets when theyre low in stock. With most other products, lower age versions are dumbed down to uselessness to experienced/older folks
Normally in australia this type of set is 20 dollars but since it has the farm it might be a 25/30 dollar set but its 40 dollars. Not that special of a set. Its just a taller version of the ice cream truck from 2020
I managed to pick this up for $40nzd which works out about $25usd. Getting harder to get these deals and new LEGO is just getting harder and harder to justify to myself the costs.
The the grey technic pieces look so out of place to me especially with the nine molded onto them. Exposed technic pieces that stand out are almost always a part of a play feature and to some extent I think the designers believe they can get away with some mismatch in color because there is added play. I don't think play and display have to be mutually exclusive and they have the ability to make technic pieces in more fitting colors but they don't
Holy ... in Germany, this is 30 Euros ... Currency converter says 45 USD is 42 Euros right now ... this one's mucho expensive over there in the USA ... o.0
Great review, Jang. It is a great little set. I agree with you on pricing. It's $60 Canadian, but it seems more like a $45 buy. The most it would probably go on sale for is 20% off, but those sales are still fairly rare in my part of Canada. Here's hoping, tho!
Absolutely loving this farming/food production/grocery sub theme. I really hope we get more and more of this kind of stuff in the future - we’ve not gotten nearly enough over the years!
Definitely feels like a solid $30 set. At $45 I cannot justify purchasing this. Here's hoping for a good sale. Thanks for the excellent review as always!
I really like this set alot. It looks great with the barn and grocery store sets.. I love this theme the City sets have going, I just hate inflation and what it's doing to Lego prices smh. 😒
Nice little set. I really like the van: lloks good as is and has great playability. The new parts are neat, and the theme itself is just great. For once Europe gets the other end of Legos price inconsistencies: this one is 30€ over here, with some places already giving 15% to 20% discounts. So we are talking $30 to $35. That's... reasonable. I'm as shocked as the next guy!
So I am absolutely in love with the city sets and their sub categories. I buy them at my leisure because the majority of my focus is generally modulars. I hear so many instances of people saying “this set should be bought on sale to get it for what the price should be” and I keep thinking to myself where?! I have NEVER seen anything Lego on sale ever unless it’s about to be taken off the shelves for age. Where do people buy on sale in the US?
same here, the stores i go to (target, walmart, etc.) sell them at normal price until they’re off the shelves. sometimes i can find a clearance deal at walmart if the box is destroyed or damaged. one time i got a $120 fire house set for $30 because it was missing a bag and the box was messed up. otherwise sometimes amazon has sets on sale. but i don’t see the vast majority of sets going on sale.
As far as I can tell, employees or far-sighted or deep pocketed customers snap up sets to re-sell on e-Bay. Never see anything on sale at Walmart or Target where I live and there is basically nowhere else to buy Legos. Stop going to the Lego Store during COVID. Even now you have to stand around outside and wait for admittance. Not really the leisurely, Oh, God, look at this visit of olden days.
Now I'm just a simple city chicken, but I didn't know that's how carrots worked. It's a fun play feature though. I really wanted to buy this and the farm as part of the GWP promotion, but I just couldn't do it because of the price. Will wait for a sale and bought something else that was exclusive to Lego and a lot less likely to go on sale.
so when i saw the title and thumbnail of this video i thought this was a set promoting Farmer's Market which is a grocery store here in Missouri. which leads me to the question; ... is it? as for the answer; ... maybe indirectly but can't be certain. i wouldn't expect to see this set at a Farmer's Market unless the profits are split between Lego and Farmer's Market. anyway, cool set tho! ^_^
There is a TV commercial in germany. "FreshMO" and the Fresh-part in their logo is including the special "e". Looks nearly identic to the LEGO-version.
Easy buy. Plus getting more of the vegetable side build pieces from Bricklick. The pricing does suck for the US. Would prefer $40 at the most. The pizza truck was a far better deal when I got it.
I love the fruit and vegetable pieces. I don't have those grapes, the banana, or the corn. Don't have a rabbit, either. The farm/garden and the van are great. Unfortunately, $45 is just ridiculous for this.
Glad Lego is making more Farm/Supermarket things. Im making a MOC for a Farmer's Market and these items will be very useful. I might get 2 of these sets and 2 of the supermarket one
I also hope that Lego will continue this "Fresh" grocery store line with advertisements (new City stickersheet?) and maybe a delivery van or bike that you see a lot nowadays specially in Europe!!!
