Check Out These Upcoming LEGO City 2020 Sets

I guess you will not be surprised anymore about this next wave of LEGO set reveals, especially considering the fact that we already saw a handful of new-for-2020 sets make their public debut during the past week. For those who are not that much into LEGO’s licensed sets such as those from Star Wars or Trolls themes, then here’s something that you may want to check out. To be frank, this piece of news has been circulating around the web for a few days already. And as of to date, more and more LEGO City 2020 sets are being revealed as we count the days before January 1st.

Taking them on face value, I have to say that these upcoming LEGO City 2020 sets are, well, a bit underwhelming. I don’t want to make this post sound like a review or commentary, but I felt that I have to address the brick elephant in the room. Perhaps I have the previous LEGO City subthemes in my mind such as the successful LEGO City Space, Arctic, Mining, and Jungle subthemes as my benchmarks in looking at these LEGO City 2020 sets. Somehow, I don’t feel the same thrill and excitement for these new arrivals as compared to their predecessors. I know that LEGO has a tendency to rehash or take inspiration from its previous sets, but doing so on a regular basis leaves a sort of a ‘subtheme fatigue’ for those who are familiar with the LEGO City genre.

In any case, I’m still hopeful that LEGO has something new in store for its line-up of LEGO City 2020 sets. Its good to know that these current reveals are all limited to the first half of the upcoming year, so we can definitely expect more to come in the second half of 2020. My best bet is that the Summer 2020 wave of LEGO City sets will have a sort of an outback, safari kind of theme. One of the sets in this reveal is already a give away in the form of Safari Adventure (60267) so let’s see if this will eventually come to pass.

For now, let’s take a look at these new sets, and let me know in the comments below which one are you looking forward to. Special thanks to Hoth Bricks, Pricevortex and Mein Spielzeug for all of this info.
