I think a lot of us AFOLs forget that kids really like the dollhouse style builds. So having so many different little buildings is a great value for kids as opposed to using more bricks on making larger enclosed spaces we see in modulars. If I can catch this on sale I will definitely pick this up for my kids. Might be a bit pricey at MSRP but we'll see.

@notabot-bk9hd 10 месяцев назад

Agreed. As an adult fan I get the appeal of mocs and display type sets but kids love open sets where they can play with the figurines in the environment. Anyway great review as always. Grossly Im not into the aesthetic of the set but I am impressed by the details and the playable elements

@LlamaKingJr 10 месяцев назад

I saw the video you posted on your “main” channel, I’m SO glad that LEGO listened to the fans and included extra 2x4 tiles to connect the road plates to other sets. It’s such a simple addition but a huge quality of life change

@skyyswaggstudios2934 10 месяцев назад

Its simple but essential if they want people, kids especially to actually engage with the gimmick, im glad they seem to be doign this more now

@Kuchenwurst 10 месяцев назад

Indeed. Now they only need to update the road plate set to include some extra 2x4 tiles. Come on lego, it's neither witchcraft nor rocket science. And it's also no alchemy, so don't go ahead and raise the price by 5€ for this added convenience. Thank you.

@kinographer5926 10 месяцев назад

print opacity is a massive problem that it seems like lego does not care about at all. You're the only lego content creator I've seen call it out, thank you for continuing to do so Jang.

@Zemmip 10 месяцев назад

I think the "Tool Shop" is more of a closet/shed of maintenence/gardening tools for the city employee.

@psykomancer4420 10 месяцев назад

"Ironically, the comic store doesn't have a lot in the way of comics." Just being true to life.

@waveburner1254 10 месяцев назад

There's a Comic Store here where I live that I visit like once every Month or so and let me tell you, there is more merch, more mangas and basically anything else there than Comics. There are in fact comics and comic books but Mangas and Merch each cover a whole wall whereas Comics are only two big shelves. So I can confirm your comment to be true.

@migatron1 10 месяцев назад

9:39 I love this detail. I love it when LEGO makes upscaled LEGO, out of LEGO. Like this, and the Ant-Man Final Battle set in particular.

@milward4563 10 месяцев назад

I like the suggestion of that shore side city front feeling. Its one of many ways they made this set feel like a fresh idea for Lego (though, of course, Jang has had that for years)

@lbricks7631 10 месяцев назад

Looking at this, all I can think of is how fun this would be to have as a kid. I love making buildings out of Lego, and this would have blown the mind of me 15 years ago.

@johnhart8856 10 месяцев назад

This set retails here in Australia where I live for an insanely expensive $319.99 AUD (on the LEGO website, which I usually use as a basis for it's normal retail price), and I'm happy to say that I ordered mine yesterday on Amazon for a mere $179.99 AUD (almost 50% off!). As someone with only a few select City theme sets (most of which are trains) I can't tell you all enough how much I appreciate the design of this set, and cannot wait to build it! 😊

@nielsbierman2958 10 месяцев назад

It sells for € 155 over here (Netherlands), down from € 210... Not at the Lego webshop of course. 😅

@toryu133 10 месяцев назад

I also cashed in on this crazy special last night! Less than $120usd equivalent is unreal. Lucky too because it has already ended and scaled back to 10%. A number of really good deals on Aussie Amazon last 24 hours. I snapped up this City Centre set, Ski Centre, Skate Park, Deep Sea Sub and two of each of Apartment Building and Cosy House sets (to expand and enlarge). All were 44-51% off! My wallet is literally on fire but could not walk past those sort of discounts.

@scunekt 10 месяцев назад

This set seems really nice honestly, like a place I'd actually want to be/go to/live in irl. The modular aspect of this set is great too. Also, that unboxing/recording setup is hilarious to me, in the best way possible. Also also, the minifig selection here is quite nice, lots of useful variety. Also also also, that dog!! Love that LEGO is doing more dogs, I need them all!

@Caddava 10 месяцев назад

It looks like the Vet building is the same color as the Vet above the corner garage modular. A second office perhaps? Thanks Jang for another great review.

@justjustice8968 10 месяцев назад

I was waiting for my favorite Lego RU-vidr to review this set. THANK YOU

@Hazel776FE 10 месяцев назад

Sets like this are what I would like to see more of from city, ya know stuff to build a city with, price doesn’t seem that terrible either which is rare. I don’t have problems with the vehicles and things we usually get, kids like them and this is a toy, but I feel like there’s room for these different ideas to coexist. I know when I was a kid I would’ve loved something like this, I always preferred playsets and I’m sure there are lots of kids that feel the same way too, maybe I’m wrong that’s just what I feel about this.

@benjaminryder770 10 месяцев назад

Great set! City and Friends have been knocking it out of the park last year and a half. If I wasn't already concentrating on my modular city, I'd buy this.

@stuchly1 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much again. I just want to stress how much I appreciate what you do. There is no way I could justify buying any of these zhese sets unfortunately, but thanks to you I can still enjoy them and take a good look at them and keep myself 'in the loop' of what lego is cooking up at the moment. ❤

@zoltanrudolf 10 месяцев назад

Jang is one of the great treasures of not only RU-vid but of the entire internet. We love you, man!

@crazycgames 10 месяцев назад

Well, I wasn't sure on this set and your awesome review sold me on it! Going to buy it and complete some of these for my city! Thank you for the great review!

@m4sherman340 10 месяцев назад

I have been watching your channel since 2015 when I was about 13 and I recognized that music. It’s so nostalgic.

@danahfaren74 10 месяцев назад

Great review Jang! Thanks! This year has given us some of the best city sets.

@iansteelmatheson 7 месяцев назад

I LOVE the built-up designs on the outsides of the buildings!

@BushCampNinja 4 месяца назад

Am I the only one who is starting to prefer these types of builds over the full modulars? Every time I build a modular I get sad that all the cool detail is sealed away like a tomb. These sets give you so much more chance to story tell in your builds. I do agree that the tiny torture room is odd. hahaha

@empatheticrambo4890 10 месяцев назад

This set looks even better than I expected.

@thepikachu176 10 месяцев назад

This looks pretty cool, i might consider buying my first lego city set 😀

@Gameprojordan 10 месяцев назад

I'd wait for a sale..this is pretty pricey for what it is

@rocketpunchgo1 10 месяцев назад

Looks very Lego Friends-esque, which of course is a good thing.

@jerryterwase9027 10 месяцев назад

The big incentive for me in this set is the amazing collection of Minifigures.

@darkelwin02 10 месяцев назад

I think it would have been more passable price-wise if there was a larger vehicle included. That said, it does look very good. Also, I don't think you mentioned, but the scuffs on the windows are horrendous? Has lego still not fixed this issue?

@rhysellis928 10 месяцев назад

It's a fascinating set, there are parts of this that I think work great, other areas that look a little questionable. The whole thing gives me more ninjago city gardens vibes for me. The contemporary white part of the building with the hotel and sky bridge gives the impression of an airport design. the very colourful exterior aesthetic is a bit too much of a mish-mash. The biggest pro is you can at least move different sections around, and add parts from other 2023 city sets maybe.

@kanjiklubskywalker4951 10 месяцев назад

i am pretty sure the dark orange floor with the vet sign is a reference to the garage modular, which also had a vet's office and was dark orange, kindof in the same style too

@GreenNinj4 10 месяцев назад

I was shocked to see the window panel at 9:30 because against the black background you see every scratch on there and it looks terrible. If this was a used set ok, but given its brand new I'd kinda feel scammed there...

@karentiel 10 месяцев назад

Great review! Very versatile set. I love how interchangeable this is. A very good point, Jang, that it is a useful way for people not used to customizing to get a feel for it. I hope we see more of this type of set.

@vdvklaas 10 месяцев назад

this shows the potential for a real modern modular building set, would be refreshing.

@MJY5drives 9 месяцев назад

Been a while since I watched Jang, glad to see he's still going strong no matter how expensive lego gets

@facelessman265 10 месяцев назад

that parrot is the veterinarian

@Benjamin0119 10 месяцев назад

That is a good chunk of a city tou get there. I like the variety of businesses and architecture style, and you get a good assortment of minifigures to go with it. $200 is not too bad for this.

@asmadithedire4357 10 месяцев назад

The tool shop could be city maintenance storage for like tree trimming and such

@thebaker525 10 месяцев назад

Don’t know when it was first introduced but the green feathered hair on the headphones guy is PERFECT Nick Bluetooth hair.

@arthurstrebel4424 10 месяцев назад

Great review! As always! Thanks for doing what you are doing Jang!

@dmvideos7913 10 месяцев назад

Great reviews , I being a subscriber for a long time already and I can say that you are one of the best in the web

@betulaobscura 10 месяцев назад

Quite 80's style design. A little bit chaotic but colourful and fun. Excellent review, like always!

@empatheticrambo4890 10 месяцев назад

That puppy part is SO adorable!!

@brikbarn 10 месяцев назад

Lots of cool detail, a lot happening in a small space so they started building up. Also like the modular locations.

@Meowvela 10 месяцев назад

So, one thing that stands out, this set looks waaay better here than it did in Lego's official previews.

@ManuelZ22 10 месяцев назад

It seems LEGO designers asked the youths: "what are you into?/what would you like to be when you grow up?" -UNBOXING VIDEOS, COMICS AND PIZZA!

@maunz5791 10 месяцев назад

Many nice details, nice playability and modularity and nicely presented! Very nice! The only things that bother me are the very reflective road pieces - asphalt is dull, as were the old road baseplates! - and the price. If Lego fixed these points, the set could be very very nice.

@ABrickinTime 10 месяцев назад

The dance floor is the perfect spot for the Benny/Unikitty dance party set from Lego Movie 2. You’re welcome. :)

@aslamc9288 28 дней назад

This thing looks really cool and your Lego City videos have been tempting me to add City to my Star Wars collection. I just wish I had the space for something like this, it would be really cool to have a big table with a Lego City on it. I do wish that they’d add more flesh tones instead of just having yellow minifigs. I would love to see a big diverse Lego City set.

@lopoa126 10 месяцев назад

The "barber" could be a woodworker named Ron. Fun diversity of shops.

@jackdanielsinthelionsden1887 10 месяцев назад

14:41 ok but this set DOES include the water to throw that E-scooter in if you so choose

@fluffnose3386 10 месяцев назад

Very hot take but just my opinion: I don’t like the modern utopia version of what City has become. I’m noticing a lot of amazing set ideas but when we get them it’s weird and futuristic. I miss the old city where every car wasn’t electric and the buildings while few, looked wholesome and cozy. Now everything is transparent blue and way too colorful. Idk just my opinion.

@hungnguyenquang7247 8 месяцев назад

Greatest lego city sets ever

@Gameprojordan 10 месяцев назад

This set would pair well with the set 60347 produce store at one end of the street. It would complete the "european style walkable city" vibe Lego has been pushing lately

@MrHangman56 10 месяцев назад

i love the way they used the chains on the water. also the barber shop is so cute, i think i'm gonna get this one

@BricksAhoy 10 месяцев назад

I don't know how I feel about this weird utopic futurism City stuff. It looks like a GREAT toy, but I wish it was grounded a bit more in modern-day reality. But I've always wanted a much more grounded theme in the vein of Creator Expert Modular-style. Or basically just Friends sets with more true-to-life color schemes. A better analog of reality, to some extent. But I was always a bit outside the play pattern they designed for as a child (and now continuing as an AFOL)

@hazeldavis3176 10 месяцев назад

Love how there's so much going on.

@defenderprime8046 10 месяцев назад

The fact that the entire set can be modified, brilliant!! Now's that is very cool, didn't really expect it, that was a surprise to me! Not much is missing, except the lack of access (ladders or strairs) to the different levels and perhaps a nice car in there, but otherwise, it's a very great set for sure!

@flamingbunnyrabbits 10 месяцев назад

Unfortunately $200 is a little out of my price range, but it definitely seems like a great value for the stuff included! I feel like lego City is really nailing it lately, reminding me of back in the 90s with city sets with roadplates that lego INTEDED for you to connect. So nice to see that back. It even seems like they're trying to gently connect the creator sets that fit into the town/city theme, like Noodle cart theming is the same as the noodle shop creator set. I could see that set fitting perfectly next to this one. Also the lego friends connectivity is great. that subtheme has been separate for far too long.

@sportsquid 10 месяцев назад

I'll be honest, I didn't modify most of my Lego sets as a kid either. My collectors instinct had already kicked in and I wanted to keep all the pieces together. I only modified smaller sets or fully custom builds.

@thesteelsquid863 9 месяцев назад

I've never really had any strong feelings for lego city but dang, I LIKE this one

@jennifercrosby1453 9 месяцев назад

Another great review, thank you. I most appreciate you pointing out how the modularity is compatible with the Friends sets. Once you explained that, it seems like such an obvious (and great) thing to do and I wonder what took them so long. It saddened me to hear that many kids just build the sets and leave them as is. I’m another old school kid and I remember the sets from the 70’s which had alternate build pictures on every box or instruction book which usually had me breaking my builds apart to figure out how to make them.

@mwidenst 10 месяцев назад

Looks like a great addition to add to the LEGO Ninjago Cybercities :)

@centurosproductions8827 3 месяца назад

Should have put a LEGO logo on that box in the recording room. Would be even funnier if it was a sticker of the boxart of this very set.

@shinobitreecko8442 9 месяцев назад

I like the amount of color in this set

@cruxdeluxe 10 месяцев назад

City: Hey, Friends! Can I copy your homework? Friends: You can HAVE my homework, I'm studying with Modulars now. All cheek aside (although... I mean, Friends really has been stepping up its game like crazy), this is pretty great.

@from_no_where 9 месяцев назад

16:05 I love that sweater piece on the right, so I guess I'll just have buy the whole set for it :p

@p.a.u.l.555 10 месяцев назад

Love your reviews jang, not sponsored or paid to say ..just honest own money psid for set reviews, have a great weekend, take care 👍😃🙏

@5xmasterx548 10 месяцев назад

True when you say kids don’t modify their sets, I never did as a kid

@Studious_Studios 10 месяцев назад

I absolutely love it! This is exactly what I'm looking for in a city set.

@stefan-adriannita4418 10 месяцев назад

nice review

@konstantinkonstantinov3117 3 месяца назад

After JANG's review I couldnt resist the temptation to buy this set for AU$239, although I missed much better sales. It seems that one weakness of the set is it cant be easily moved around or transported. But the modularity and figures variety are great.

@Brick-Life 10 месяцев назад

the vet is a budget version of the corner garage modular. Same colours!

@warrennewman5325 10 месяцев назад

Wow amazing set awsome review 👌

@erickok 10 месяцев назад

I actually like (yes!) that it doesn't have more vehicles includes. Kids often have/get those small vehicle sets, shich are great but if you are lucky enough to get a Downtown you sure will have enough to fill it. Great review.

@Flex16550 9 месяцев назад

When I first saw this I wasn’t super interested, but seeing it now I gotta say it looks pretty delux, I would love to see a whole street built up in this style

@Chokun-Gaming 10 месяцев назад

Every time someone says it I feel the need to say this: those are Ninjago spinners cards, not Ninjago trading cards. There was close to no incentive to trade the cards that came with spinners because each set always came with its own specific set of cards that play well with the included character's stats, no radom chance involved. Ninjago trading cards do exist but they don't look anything like the cards lego occasionally includes in sets like this one

@greenhill004 10 месяцев назад

The bike lane being disjointed in the alternate build clearly proves that the set is based in the USA. 😉

@BrickHQ 10 месяцев назад

This is an awesome set, with a bunch of amazing minifigures The main think that I don't like is lack of stairs/ access to upper levels I would like to see someone make this more complete The extra tiles for the road plate 👍 I would probably get this on sale US should be like Europe getting awesome deals

@Sinjinator 10 месяцев назад

Yeah it seems kind of rushed/unfinished, maybe it needs a portable staircase/elevator!

@Zenlore6499 10 месяцев назад

Whoa! That's a big set!

@kushtailor9724 10 месяцев назад

Love the beard Jang!

@skyborne80 9 месяцев назад

I love the manhole cover in the street, it's not something I've personally ever seen before in a City set. It's a little awkward that it's round in a square alcove, but that's a minor nitpick. The comic store is a bit of a miss. There's an entire blank wall that could have used a sticker representing a rack with comics on it or something. It just screams at me: "something should be here!"

@ReVision.. 10 месяцев назад

Love the set and it's already on sale between 149 en 155 euros over here. Only problem is i really don't have any room for it and i still want to buy some other sets also.

@modernmedieval2312 10 месяцев назад

This is a great set. You sold it to me lol. Thanks Jang. Modiying this set is going to be so satisfying

@caseygutierrez5349 4 месяца назад

Hello and thank you for the video. I just ordered one. What City sets, specifically buildings or similar, can connect to this Downtown set? Thank you!

@waveburner1254 10 месяцев назад

This set just radiates with "it just works"!

@edgarleft 10 месяцев назад

I almost like the alternate configuration more. The buildings are more spread out and it looks more like a real city block.

@johnyang6969 3 месяца назад

Seeing the rainbow crosswalk made me almost not get this set. But good thing this is Lego, I can incorporate my own pieces to replace it.

@Jackster8484 10 месяцев назад

the previous big city sets had a whole bunch of small vehicles with a step price. this one only has a tuk tuk and scoter and the price seams fair. i find this somewhat interesting

@cjhunt9532 9 месяцев назад

i think the "tool shop" is meant to be a maintenance closet for city/mall employees

@cjhunt9532 9 месяцев назад

so, not accessible to "public"

@undead.rising 10 месяцев назад

Just looked it up for pricing here - $320 is the asking price by Lego in Australia, but one retailer right now is selling it for $255 right now. Imagine how much Lego must mark things up in order to still make a profit when other stores are selling it this cheaply.

@AldenG 10 месяцев назад

Wow this is really good. Daresay better than Ninjago City Markets that I was most looking forward to. Looking forward getting this.

@slippingbugs 10 месяцев назад

@longpenguinboi5824 10 месяцев назад

the alternate faceprint of the costumed character resembles that of the series 22 space creature, perhaps they are the same species?

@Skvalpenotta 10 месяцев назад

I really wish the new road plates were wider. Many of the City trucks are too big to fit on them with other cars passing... it looks kinda ridiculous...

@Etienne.6329 10 месяцев назад

dois it mean that friends AND city AND harry potter now can be freely mixed and rearranged ? If so that's crazy awesome

@antonisauren8998 10 месяцев назад

So I see that they're using double plates for floors as standard now. Does it increase the price? I never had problems with flimsiness of single plates floors even if there were composed from smaller pieces just joined by narrow plate at the edge. Hotel next to open air disco? Good luck getting some sleep. I have two ~1km from house and can hear them every weekend to 4-5 am. Is that t-rex cosplayer head preexsisting piece? There is no sense for it to be green. It would work even better with simple yellow head with mouth print on the back.
