Chase Mcaine was the best police officer ever I wish there was a whole subtheme for LCUC rather than just 2 sets that have Chase in them it’d be really cool cuz a lot of cool stuff happens in that game that would make great sets for example the chase after Chase robs the bank undercover in a snow plower with a rocket engine or the robot dinosaur in the museum or the boss fight against Rex Fury or the raid of Vinny Papalardo’s ice cream shop or the hospital getting raided by the criminals wearing black suits or a massive rocket set that could be compatible with the Rex fury boss fight set just several suggestions because of how good the game is
Right now they have the unofficial subtheme of Police Training/Police academy stuff out. I feel like last year’s police wave was a combo of weird undercover crooks and the use of the new vibrant/highlighter yellow parts.
Honestly surprised they've never done a full european wave before with the different uniforms and checkered cars All american despite the country of origin
This is actually a valid point. It's a Danish company but I never see any European themed sets. I mean unless it's like a real place of structure. But yeah these are American themed police.
The Lego city police of today feels more like its modeled after some place like Dubai with flashy extremely expensive super cars. And back in the day they looked like European stuff. 7744 is a perfect example. The car and van look very European. The car is definitely inspired by BMW station wagon types they use. Every police bike they’ve done looks more like the BMW bikes used in Europe too. I want cars that resemble American Crown Vics or Explorers and Chargers
This. Particularly sensitive events probably made the Lego Group reel in the police sets to avoid potential social backlash. It is what it is. Besides, they make more than enough off of their licensed IPs anyways (Star Wars, Marvel, etc.)
Yep. Though it's always been in a bit of a tough spot. There's only so much you can do with police when you want to avoid including... any of the stuff police are around for. It why lego most notorious crook is basically the lego version of the hamburgler.
Something similar happened to GTA V Online, they had been preparing a police update in 2020 but then the George Floyd incident happened and it was just shelved
100% agree! When I was growing up I wanted LEGO to come out with Desert Police (I actually made my own "sets" just in case they did). I personally think LEGO City started going downhill when they removed the classic "HEY" from the back of the boxes, which was 2019-2020. Another great breakdown!
Glad we can agree on that! Such a fantastic wave of sets. I should really stop procrastinating my purchase of some of those sets. Specifically the heavy duty helicopter. Imagine that in all black...sheesh
For me personally, I really loved the Police Dog Van set (4441). I don't know why, but I'm in love with the overall design and utility the set's namesake had.
Something I really liked about forest police was that it was released along side forest fire and the mining sub theme, so you had a sort of whole of city forest theme for that season.
My 6 yo son is only interested in thief-chasing type of police. When I showed him the dog training center or any other set not revolving around thiefs, he wasn't interested.
This is the thing where lego f’ed up. They always have a formula with every theme. Put two sides against each other and make sets and it worked great for almost every theme (except chima and nexo knights). But suddenly they’ve stopped doing this for lego police which just doesn’t hit the same anymore especially for kids not having the fun play features anymore since the police sets have become so bland and empty.
i absolutely adore 2005 - 2012 lego city sets, especially the police theme with 7744 being my absolute favorite. i might be blinded by nostalgia but imo those were simply the best years for the lego city series. most of the vehicle and building designs just fit so well with each other. i'll never forget the 4 studs wide cars and 6 studs wide trucks, these are just iconic for me and i genuinely think they had the best proportions compared to the size of a minifig.
I agree with you, the 7744 Police Headquarters is just way better than the current police stations. Not only is it nostalgic, it also had way more pieces (953) was way better in quality, and was just a better set.
One thing I don't like about the Newer Lego City sets (Not just the police subtheme) Is that for some reason they decided to introduced named characters into the sets (I think it had to do with the Lego City animated series) The problem with these is that these characters often appeared in multiple sets, rather than generic minifigures, so buying these sets leave you with say multiple of the same character, rather than generic police officers for example.
Regardless what you think of the Lego city police line as a whole, I think we can all agree that the Elite Police line from 2014 was pretty Damm awesome!
Great video essay as always! I gotta agree, 2012 of Lego city's peak. Not only the police but also the great vehicles line. Also, I feel like the decline of the police subtheme also had to do with 2020 with lego pulling those sets off shelves. But I'm glad it's making a comeback. The sets are super lackluster and expensive though
Poachers and polluters might be too dark of subjects for LEGO or at least the City theme (even a dynamite factory was deemed too dark of a concept to make as a set) but that is an interesting idea nonetheless.
Thanks for the support, Amberlia. Since LEGO City changed up their style in 2019/2020 I haven't supported the theme. Who knows though, some variety might change my stance on the current state of LEGO City.
That 2017 wave was a solid lineup of sets. And I love the 2013 sets, especially with Chase McCain. I know they were really pushing that LEGO City Undercover game but the sets were cool lol. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
1:49 wdym sky police brought some good things, like the police pilot torso, the breathing apparatus thing, minifigures with printed headpieces, and a cool visor
You've also got to remember they can only use one crime... Theft, and base sets off that.. if they could do murder, riots, terrorism, abduction etc, there'd be tons of subthemes and settings to build on
I quite liked the sets prior to 2012 as I felt they were more grounded in reality. The subthemes just didn’t have an appeal as anything more than a one-off gimmick, and didn’t really fit what I perceived to be a “city” theme.
I think they should slow down the release of these sets and innovate more, to make these newer sets feel like they are different. An example is perhaps bringing back space police or some sort of arctic police force in the far future.
I think what would be best is to keep a series of "normal" police sets on shelves at all times- a station, couple different squad cars and perhaps a helicopter too. Then, go out and experiment once again.
Personally, I believe the best era was prior to 2012. Throughout the mid to late 2010s, there was a lack of non-police/action sets. This is because there was a overemphasis on police with a wave every year. Before, there was a wave in 2005, 2008, and 2011 which is every three years. This is the ideal pace as there is always police sets but it opens up more waves for other subthemes while not oversaturating the police subtheme. The new system is the worst though as it is the worst of both worlds. However, more importantly, the sets are just not good as they are badly designed and overpriced. They only appeal to the 5-9 demographic while early police waves were less silly and appealed to more. The 2011 police station and 2008 mobile command centres are some of the best ever sets. The 2005 police boat was a absolute steal at $25 and the whole city theme was reasonably priced. Its not really a matter of police subthemes being gone, its a matter of lego just making bad sets nowadays. I do not understand why people like lego creator. The sets now are overly detailed, more expensive, and have too many tiles and plates to actually build anything else without looking terrible or small. Previously, you could get a good house that had a baseplate and was fully enclosed for only 2/3rds the price even adjusting for inflation. Lego overall is on the decline since they pander with tacky licenced themes while neglecting their core audience of not just AFOLs but anybody above the age of 10 that isn't some hippy millennial who is "quirky" for buying lego arts sets.
@@Kuchenwurst When I stated that, I was referring to lego creator throughout the mid-2000s to the early/mid 2010s compared to current day lego creator sets. While lego city has never had that sort of set, I was clearly using lego creator as an example of decreasing size and quality while having a mostly increased price even considering inflation. An example specific to city are the mobile command centre. The 2022 mobile command truck is far smaller and less detailed and realistic compared to the 2008 command centre. Despite this, it only costed $10 adjusted for inflation. However, it has around 100 more piece and much larger pieces on average with more bricks and panels rather than the substantial amounts of small bricks and tiles of the new one. The side build of the police outpost is singlehandedly worth about $10-15 by itself, ignoring the larger and better build of the command centre itself.
I honestly did think that the whole “Swamp Police”, “Forrest Police” and “Mountain Police” themes seemed kinda weird. I know that there are Police Officers in more remote locations, but I feel like they could’ve tried something a bit original like “Lego City Park Rangers” or something like that.
@@LaneCorbett yes,i have Lego police (most sets except chopper and patrol boat and station,sets from 2014, the res i have them all, one from 2012 and that's it..
In addition to Lego I owned Playmobil. Playmobil police had real guns and a sense of realism that is present compared to the Lego police of today. Glad I got to enjoy realism from a quality brand from Germany.
I love the LEGO City Construction subtheme- I bought a ton of construction sets back in 2015. Might have to talk about that in a vid, thanks for the idea!
So I like the 2005-2013 lego police and I think that one aspect that ruined police sets for me and a lot of people is that the regular police theme became "americanised" and I and many other people prefer the more European look of 2005-2012 police. Also city sets have been becoming more and more similar to the Junior theme in terms of sizes, molds and building techniques
The Americanization of LEGO police is something I never even considered. Thanks for sharing, that's fascinating. I agree with your last point though, it's a shame to watch LEGO City fall apart like this. May need to make a video on that one of these days.
@@OurToyWorld the play features are less build design and more specialty molded bricks. While new molds can be good, recently they have been closer and closer to junior. Also sets have gotten more expensive and at the same time smaller. Also I don't like the flashing lights on fire vehicles recently as regular bricks look much nicer. The "americanistion" has also been present for the fire theme but more subtle and has kinda always been there, with police it's apparent ant from 2014. The colors, caps, vehicles even the badge design is simmilar to American police that European and as someone from Europe that turns me away.
What the police theme does better now than previous is have regular cars being used by criminals. Like garbage trucks, ice cream vans, construction/renovations vehicles. Still annoyed the minifigures need mask and prison uniforms under the regular clothes. Fine for some, unnecessary for all of them.
2024 actually delivered some great police sets IMO. We got a new jail island set, a crime lab (for the first time ever) and an interesting water hideout for the crooks. And we got a very cool chain link fence piece. As someone who collects LEGO City Police (and owns every City police station except one) I LOVE what LEGO has been doing with the theme lately (that police academy we got a few years back was awesome as well)
For me the prime of lego police starts in 2011 with, what is the best police station ever released which gives birth to mini-episodes with set characters having their own story in episodes. Forest police and Elite police collection comes just after and put a new wave on the theme, being very playable, and characters continue to be integrated in mini-episodes. After this, they didn't success combining classic town police and subthemes police and make a story around...
It went from realistic to cartoony. Like where in the world does a police department owns a fighter jet and C-17? Does the Lego nation have its local police department as its military?
I mean even in irl, Panama have a law enforcement as their main forces, but they use helicopters and regular stuff But I don't know Lego nation have law enforcement as military or well established military
the phrase AFOL cringes me as much as being called a Brony, making it sound like adults are unusual and enexpected to like LEGO and needs standing out. But also, a lot of these Police sets are for kids as you say, but they have also produced a recent City police station with combo doughnut shop. But what about other City things like a Fire station? I think this is just a bit whiny and they have to produce play sets for kids, and they've done a recent and sizeable Police build already for City. The City builder customer base must be less than 5% of all total LEGO sales, so them switching product focus for those mega rich, no-life LEGO nerds with more money and basement space than sense, I don't think is their priority
Have you forgotten the modular Police station (10278) from 2021 and Police training academy (60370) from this year. They also have mobile Police dog training (60369) set. I agree that there is a lot of repetition in City Line. But we have now got some different set the last year 😊
I love how the Lego City police just have access to Chinooks, Sea Stallions, Humvees, and even fighter jets and yet all they use them for is high speed chases. I can't imagine the taxes the average Lego City citizen must pay in order to keep the police running.
The problem with police is that it’s not very versatile. For a while they did swamp police and changed from black to blue as the secondary colour, but it couldn’t be moulded into new concepts much. I’d personally love to see some detective city police sets that have a more film noir look, just to keep things more interesting. Someone else here mentioned a space police thing which I think would also be great!
What LEGO should release is a line of historic/vintage police car sets. One set, for example, from the 1930s, ‘50s, ‘70s, ‘90s, etc. kinda like how Speed Champions releases single car sets. These police car sets would have the car, a cop, and one robber with a small side build that embody the era they represent (fashion, stollen loot, side builds, etc.).
With having the 2008 and 2011 police station sets displayed in my city, then the 2012 forrest police station in my city with the 2021 modular police station as my main police station in my city, I would not be disappointed if lego branched out and gave us a GCPD set that was actually under either the lego batman theme or city theme but the police station itself was more batman related and maybe gave us villans we still have yet to receive as physical minifigs. I am looking at the mad hatter who we have only gotten in the lego batman video games so far.
I have the 2011 police station. The 2012 forest police station. the 2014 police station and the swamp police station. I had a little bit of an obssesion with police in my city. I took apart my 2011 station and kept the 2014 station and made a prison out the jail part.
My favourite sub theme is either the 2013 one, tbh I can’t remember the name but it’s the one with the museum, or it would probably be the prison island.
When these were first released in the 80's and the 90's police were generally better viewed. I don't think they're going to be as popular since internet videos of police brutality have become so common. They should go back to space police or forest rangers that people would have a better view of. In Europe though they probably don't have nearly as many problems with police violence as the US
I tried making a Lego Ideas set "Donut Patrol". A comment was made that this was making fun and disrespecting the job police officers do. I also had a swamp idea in my project that I feel was lifted and produced. Maybe Lego has a problem with police because of the seriousness that the job entails.
LEGO City Undercover had “donut cop” jokes galore, the Chief Wiggum Minifigure from The Simpsons theme also adapts the donuts from the show. I have no idea why LEGO would refuse a project on those grounds.
@@legometaworld2728 It wasn't denied because of pairing police officers with donuts. You know Lego Ideas does not give reasons for why they deny projects. This "Donut Patrol" Ideas project came out before Lego City Undercover and The Simpsons sets. My ideas set didn't get made because it didn't get enough votes to pass the review. My point is being a Police Officer is a serious job. Paring it with a silly idea like eating donuts may not seam respectful now. That is why Lego is having a problem theming police as anything but police. It's to serious of a job to be made fun of.
Imagine a Lego space police subtheme of Lego city rather the actual evolution of classic space I’d love to see a set of criminals trying to steal a rocket ship or something if makes no sense but neither did sky police and that didn’t stop Lego
This video also describes a similar story to the lego city fire. Lego city should bring back the sets from 2011-2013, possibly even 2008-2010. I really wanted the 2011 police station but missed out on it. So upsetting to see that from 2011-2020 what was once a work of art is now junk. The best idea would be these sets they sell now are for young kids like they used to be lego juniors. They then re release the 2011-2013 sets as more advanced sets upto 12 and others who enjoy those sets. The same would also apply to the lego city fire sets. I understand that lego likes to make new sets all the time but the modern lego city police sets are "at an identical state to the original sets at start" I'd say even worse at least sets were decent at start. I'd recon it'd be better if they modernised their old sets rather than releasing new designs all the time.
Honestly they could modernize and expand the 2011 sets and I would lay my money down. I just got the Police Station online recently for a fair price and it's just as cool as I imagined back then.
@LaneCorbett Agree. I really loved that set. It would look great with modern colours. Also the same minifigs, which were so iconic compared to modern ones
I always wished they’d do Sheriff sets. The minifigures could wear olive green and tan and the sets could be more jail and court related, Like a courthouse, transport vans, and the occasional patrol car. Then city police could be the high speed pursuit and bank robbery stuff with faster looking cars and helicopters and all that jazz.
If you ask me, there's an oversaturation for LEGO Police in general. And LEGO is actually self-aware about it - there's a police officer in LEGO 2K Drive that comments on how the town of Big Butte has "5 officers for every citizen" - that's enough to give every citizen their own security escort. Problem is, they don't do anything about it. I know kids like to play cops and robbers, but I'm pretty sure they like to do other things too... Honestly, I kinda feel like LEGO has become too big as a company. They've become risk averse and unwilling to experiment because there's, well, no risk in not taking risks. I know that sounds like a redundant statement, but what I mean by that is that they're going to make money whether they try to innovate or not, so there's no reason for them to put in the effort. And when they do, it's usually "throw tech against the wall to see what sticks" rather than actually changing up formulas.
i always tried to figure out what police sets to choose. maybe some from 2005/2008 or 2014 for main sets. also the mountain police sets feel like a rebirth of the forest police. and sky police looks like a aviator 2014 police theme
Personally I feel like the new police livery and smaller sets ruined it. Now we just get smaller station and cars. We used to get a lot more. Around 2013 (when Lego city undercover came out) was the best year ever for Lego police.
I have a few sets from 2014 including high speed police chase, prisoner transport and mobile command unit also bike as well i have 1 forest police car set..tbh i really miss those old sets because cars looked normal and sets were nice now all went downhill..i ordered lego police set 7747(used set but with Little to no damage and tbh it's all used lego sets on that site that exists in my country) i want all those old sets back..
Im surprised Lego City undercover wasn’t mentioned here. It came out in conjunction with 2013’s elite police, and rode on the wave of success that the forest police created. Not to mention it tied in with those sets (and the 2011 line iirc) so it meant kids could actually play with the vehicles in the game. Plus it felt like a kids version of GTAV so that was cool too
Lego could officially start a special ops/ Intelligense SPY set... That would be interesting, the building could have a lot of interior design like computers, desks, stations, interrogation rooms, etc. The set could have special commandos, desk workers, SWAT Vans, undercover car, and maybe, an extraction boat and chopper.
Note: I'm talking about MAIN City Police only, so no Forest, Elite, Swamp ETC. 2014 Police were really good, 2011 and 2008 comes a close second and third respectively, 2017 4th, 2005/6? was honestly limited and quite bad, but not as bad as 2020 Police, which is only a hairs inch better than 2022. 2021 & 2023 fall into this weird category, while they arent subtheme, they are still city police.
As cool as this idea is the only subthemes I can think of that Lego could do anymore are a prison subtheme with higher quality printed prison guards and have things like prison towers but I don’t think would do that so they could also do swats with black colors and heavy armed swat vans and probably a helicopter that could be similar to the mountain police helicopter but in black for a more elite design because I can’t really think of many other environments where police would make sense to have full on police stations
the main reason for this is that lego is always changing it's styles and such. also, lego has stuck with the idea that each set gets roughly 1-2 years on the market then it gets discontinued with rare sets not applying to this
The problem that the LEGO City theme has is exactly the police subtheme, now LEGO release police sets yearly, that wasn't the case back on their early years (2005-2010), back then City had a two to three year "calendar" used for avoiding repetitions of subthemes, for example, 2008: police and coastguard; 2009: farm and construction... LEGO City had a wide variety of subthemes that they no longer release sets of, like construction or coastguards, and this is due to the huge success that the police subtheme has gained through the last 10 years. To me, the saturation of the police sets started in 2012, where the early symptoms began showing, and by 2015 it was too late, LEGO started releasing police sets on a yearly basis.
I think it's okay to release sets and phase others out. My big issue is design change "forcing" you to buy all new. We only had a short run of the dull yellow and now we got highlighter. I bet in a year or 2 the color changes again.
2011-2013 was Peak Lego City Police. We had the perfect 2011 Police Station and Surrounding Wave, the Forrest Police in 2012, and the SWAT Vibes Chase McCain Tie in Cops in late 2012 early 2013. It's been downhill since with only Swamp Police as a glamor of It's former glory.
I'm glad Police seems to have been put on the backburner lately. Two year with the City space theme they didn't really have much by way of police stuff. And last year with the focus on farming we again got very little by way of police sets. I mean for years now I have been getting the City Advent Calendar from a friend and I find I like it best when it's more about the city and citizens and less about cops and other emergency services. I mean LEGO City Undercover really was brilliant for taking the police theme and mixing it with so many others. I still enjoy running around that city and playing with UFOs, jet packs, cars, and boats.
Man i remember i used to love collecting these sets. I used to watch videos of lego city undercover all the time and i loved the police minifigs. I used to use my minifigs to make zombie apocolayse with the police trying to rescue civilians.
About forest police, when I was a kid there was a set (this forest police helicopter) which I wanted really much, but at the end I didn’t got it (there were other sets, like 2014 mine etc. ) and after like 10 years I finally bought it. (used, but still)
It really is one of the best helicopters ever released, even 12 years later Btw, I’m Not sure if you’ve seen this video, but I recently covered Forest Police on the channel- th-cam.com/video/421vcfeAItk/w-d-xo.html
I 100% agree with you! The Prison Island was my favorite subtheme along with the forest police. I also enjoyed the 2013 elite police, since that was the first time we saw special Police forces (obviously promoting Lego City undercover, one of the best lego video games imo) and a nice non-police side build (the museum) Another thing I also dislike about the current police sets is the use of bright light yellow...it just doesn't fit imo
I personally think 2008-2013 was the best era sure the 2005-2008 sets were simple but it works because there is a difference between that era and now, think the biggest one were the build quality and design, but new police has low quality builds no sub themes.
2008-13 was Peak Lego City Police. We had the Transition from the old Style to the 2011 Style that lasted through the Forest and Undercover Sub Themes.
@@LaneCorbettI like to view the 2008 Police as the main police since they have a bigger police station and can buy more vehicles at affordable prices whilst 2011 are one of the branches that operates in LEGO City East district.

"American police in spaaaaaace"

LEGO City police was fantastic in the early 2010s!
100% agree! When I was growing up I wanted LEGO to come out with Desert Police (I actually made my own "sets" just in case they did). I personally think LEGO City started going downhill when they removed the classic "HEY" from the back of the boxes, which was 2019-2020. Another great breakdown!
Oh yeah, I miss the hey
Early 2000s 2010s Lego City was the best. Lego City sucks now. Way too comical and goofy. Miss the sets that actually had to do with a city.

This is the thing where lego f’ed up. They always have a formula with every theme. Put two sides against each other and make sets and it worked great for almost every theme (except chima and nexo knights). But suddenly they’ve stopped doing this for lego police which just doesn’t hit the same anymore especially for kids not having the fun play features anymore since the police sets have become so bland and empty.
I think having a highway patrol sub theme will be interesting. Like have the cars with pullbacks motors so you can have them chase crooks.
They need a western police/sheriff subtheme
Give us western absolutely
i absolutely adore 2005 - 2012 lego city sets, especially the police theme with 7744 being my absolute favorite. i might be blinded by nostalgia but imo those were simply the best years for the lego city series. most of the vehicle and building designs just fit so well with each other. i'll never forget the 4 studs wide cars and 6 studs wide trucks, these are just iconic for me and i genuinely think they had the best proportions compared to the size of a minifig.
4436 7286 7285 7236 7245 7235 I LOVE THESE SETS SO MUCH BROO THE DESIGN ARE SO GOOD
I agree with you, the 7744 Police Headquarters is just way better than the current police stations. Not only is it nostalgic, it also had way more pieces (953) was way better in quality, and was just a better set.
One thing I don't like about the Newer Lego City sets (Not just the police subtheme)
Is that for some reason they decided to introduced named characters into the sets (I think it had to do with the Lego City animated series)
The problem with these is that these characters often appeared in multiple sets, rather than generic minifigures, so buying these sets leave you with say multiple of the same character, rather than generic police officers for example.
Whether it's in real life or in Lego, it's like no one is satisfied with the police these days.
2004-2011 best lego city police stations
for me its 2008-2014, best era there.
for me 2005 - 2017
Regardless what you think of the Lego city police line as a whole, I think we can all agree that the Elite Police line from 2014 was pretty Damm awesome!
Yeah
Yeah. 2013 actually but nonetheless was good when it lasted. It was the 2015 swamp police and 2019 sky police when it begun to get shit.
I honestly like sky police, I thought it was pretty unique with the unique torso prints and new visor
Exactly
@@josephmcneill7404 nuh uh swamp and sky are cool
Great video essay as always! I gotta agree, 2012 of Lego city's peak. Not only the police but also the great vehicles line. Also, I feel like the decline of the police subtheme also had to do with 2020 with lego pulling those sets off shelves. But I'm glad it's making a comeback. The sets are super lackluster and expensive though
I think a lot of modern lego police look to juniors or cartoony with the figures
Absolutely!
A savannah pilice theme would work, trying to fight poachers or polluters
Interesting idea! If done right I could see that being a fantastic subtheme.
Poachers and polluters might be too dark of subjects for LEGO or at least the City theme (even a dynamite factory was deemed too dark of a concept to make as a set) but that is an interesting idea nonetheless.
@@legometaworld2728what about arctic, volcano, or rainforest?
Desert police would be nice too
I'm not big into collecting the Lego city sets, but I agree that it would be nice to get some more variety in the sub-theme
Thanks for the support, Amberlia. Since LEGO City changed up their style in 2019/2020 I haven't supported the theme. Who knows though, some variety might change my stance on the current state of LEGO City.
IMO the 2017 police set wave was the best wave and the 2013 Elite police wave was the best police subtheme
That 2017 wave was a solid lineup of sets. And I love the 2013 sets, especially with Chase McCain. I know they were really pushing that LEGO City Undercover game but the sets were cool lol. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
The 2017 line came with the police uniform for 7 years
I guess the Lego City Police has an unlimited budget. The LCPD is a private army at this point
1:49 wdym sky police brought some good things, like the police pilot torso, the breathing apparatus thing, minifigures with printed headpieces, and a cool visor
What about 2013 museum police sets ?
I love those sets! The Chase McCain wave was awesome.
those where cool to be used as a swat team
0:53 This set was absolutely peak.
You've also got to remember they can only use one crime... Theft, and base sets off that.. if they could do murder, riots, terrorism, abduction etc, there'd be tons of subthemes and settings to build on
Most of these are Borderline illegal for LEGO to even add, but stuff like Littering, Burglars, grand theft Auto would really add some needed Variety
damn, now I feel like creating lego sets based on military, counter terrorism, civil war, world war, etc.
I don't think so, but abduction is probably good for a set
Lego should do SWAT Police.
I’d love to see that!
i wish there was swat
yes but the guns and stuff wouldnt work because lego is family friendly
@@dwavenminer i mean that is a fair argument but lego star wars is more for the older kids whilst 4 year olds aint gonna like a shootout
There's plenty of 3rd party swat minifigs
Forest police was so good
It was! Wish we could receive a reboot?
I quite liked the sets prior to 2012 as I felt they were more grounded in reality.
The subthemes just didn’t have an appeal as anything more than a one-off gimmick, and didn’t really fit what I perceived to be a “city” theme.
I would have liked to have some elite police set of 2013, for me together with the forest police are the best subthemes
Absolutely. That 2013 wave is the greatest LEGO City police lineup of all time.
@@OurToyWorld 2011 was pretty good too
I think they should slow down the release of these sets and innovate more, to make these newer sets feel like they are different. An example is perhaps bringing back space police or some sort of arctic police force in the far future.
I think what would be best is to keep a series of "normal" police sets on shelves at all times- a station, couple different squad cars and perhaps a helicopter too. Then, go out and experiment once again.
The modular police station is the only one adults really need
Just needs a little modernizing. On the inside, computers etc.
@@isaaclaf1000 it's fine as it is. I like the 40's vibe.
You don’t NEED any of them
@@fabianstalder5008 Ok Doomer
What about the vehicles? What are the police going to do run faster than a car?
Personally, I believe the best era was prior to 2012. Throughout the mid to late 2010s, there was a lack of non-police/action sets. This is because there was a overemphasis on police with a wave every year. Before, there was a wave in 2005, 2008, and 2011 which is every three years. This is the ideal pace as there is always police sets but it opens up more waves for other subthemes while not oversaturating the police subtheme. The new system is the worst though as it is the worst of both worlds. However, more importantly, the sets are just not good as they are badly designed and overpriced. They only appeal to the 5-9 demographic while early police waves were less silly and appealed to more. The 2011 police station and 2008 mobile command centres are some of the best ever sets. The 2005 police boat was a absolute steal at $25 and the whole city theme was reasonably priced. Its not really a matter of police subthemes being gone, its a matter of lego just making bad sets nowadays. I do not understand why people like lego creator. The sets now are overly detailed, more expensive, and have too many tiles and plates to actually build anything else without looking terrible or small. Previously, you could get a good house that had a baseplate and was fully enclosed for only 2/3rds the price even adjusting for inflation. Lego overall is on the decline since they pander with tacky licenced themes while neglecting their core audience of not just AFOLs but anybody above the age of 10 that isn't some hippy millennial who is "quirky" for buying lego arts sets.
Remind me please, where exactly we ever got fully enclosed houses outside of the creator line and, especially, within the city line? 🤔
@@Kuchenwurst When I stated that, I was referring to lego creator throughout the mid-2000s to the early/mid 2010s compared to current day lego creator sets. While lego city has never had that sort of set, I was clearly using lego creator as an example of decreasing size and quality while having a mostly increased price even considering inflation. An example specific to city are the mobile command centre. The 2022 mobile command truck is far smaller and less detailed and realistic compared to the 2008 command centre. Despite this, it only costed $10 adjusted for inflation. However, it has around 100 more piece and much larger pieces on average with more bricks and panels rather than the substantial amounts of small bricks and tiles of the new one. The side build of the police outpost is singlehandedly worth about $10-15 by itself, ignoring the larger and better build of the command centre itself.
100% agree. Would love to see 2011-13 sets back in store I'd jump at those
I honestly did think that the whole “Swamp Police”, “Forrest Police” and “Mountain Police” themes seemed kinda weird. I know that there are Police Officers in more remote locations, but I feel like they could’ve tried something a bit original like “Lego City Park Rangers” or something like that.
I get what you’re saying, they are kinda dumb, but a good dumb to me lol
I want return of Lego city 2011,2012,2014 police sets..
You and me both
@@LaneCorbett yes,i have Lego police (most sets except chopper and patrol boat and station,sets from 2014, the res i have them all, one from 2012 and that's it..
all of us
I absolutely hate the 2020 police station, it has Duplo set vibes
When they got rid of the police suits and firat forest subtheme that was when it went downhill for me
Maybe it's because i grew up with 2010's lego city, but I honestly think the design of (most) lego city sets after the 2016 series is absolute dogshit
In addition to Lego I owned Playmobil. Playmobil police had real guns and a sense of realism that is present compared to the Lego police of today. Glad I got to enjoy realism from a quality brand from Germany.
I would like to see the Construction theme back,whatever happened to that?
I love the LEGO City Construction subtheme- I bought a ton of construction sets back in 2015. Might have to talk about that in a vid, thanks for the idea!
So I like the 2005-2013 lego police and I think that one aspect that ruined police sets for me and a lot of people is that the regular police theme became "americanised" and I and many other people prefer the more European look of 2005-2012 police. Also city sets have been becoming more and more similar to the Junior theme in terms of sizes, molds and building techniques
The Americanization of LEGO police is something I never even considered. Thanks for sharing, that's fascinating. I agree with your last point though, it's a shame to watch LEGO City fall apart like this. May need to make a video on that one of these days.
@@OurToyWorld the play features are less build design and more specialty molded bricks. While new molds can be good, recently they have been closer and closer to junior. Also sets have gotten more expensive and at the same time smaller. Also I don't like the flashing lights on fire vehicles recently as regular bricks look much nicer. The "americanistion" has also been present for the fire theme but more subtle and has kinda always been there, with police it's apparent ant from 2014. The colors, caps, vehicles even the badge design is simmilar to American police that European and as someone from Europe that turns me away.
Proud to be able to get prison island for Christmas that year, not proud that it’s all in pieces in my LEGO collection😅
Rebuild it, please!
What the police theme does better now than previous is have regular cars being used by criminals. Like garbage trucks, ice cream vans, construction/renovations vehicles. Still annoyed the minifigures need mask and prison uniforms under the regular clothes. Fine for some, unnecessary for all of them.
2024 actually delivered some great police sets IMO. We got a new jail island set, a crime lab (for the first time ever) and an interesting water hideout for the crooks. And we got a very cool chain link fence piece. As someone who collects LEGO City Police (and owns every City police station except one) I LOVE what LEGO has been doing with the theme lately (that police academy we got a few years back was awesome as well)
I kinda agree with this. I’m still waiting for a new prison since I missed out on the first one.
For me the prime of lego police starts in 2011 with, what is the best police station ever released which gives birth to mini-episodes with set characters having their own story in episodes. Forest police and Elite police collection comes just after and put a new wave on the theme, being very playable, and characters continue to be integrated in mini-episodes.
After this, they didn't success combining classic town police and subthemes police and make a story around...
It went from realistic to cartoony. Like where in the world does a police department owns a fighter jet and C-17? Does the Lego nation have its local police department as its military?
I mean even in irl, Panama have a law enforcement as their main forces, but they use helicopters and regular stuff
But I don't know Lego nation have law enforcement as military or well established military
What I hate is the shift in color schemes. We went from white and blue to Neon Blue, Neon Yellow and bright red
the phrase AFOL cringes me as much as being called a Brony, making it sound like adults are unusual and enexpected to like LEGO and needs standing out. But also, a lot of these Police sets are for kids as you say, but they have also produced a recent City police station with combo doughnut shop. But what about other City things like a Fire station? I think this is just a bit whiny and they have to produce play sets for kids, and they've done a recent and sizeable Police build already for City. The City builder customer base must be less than 5% of all total LEGO sales, so them switching product focus for those mega rich, no-life LEGO nerds with more money and basement space than sense, I don't think is their priority
Dude i think i had a LEGO police set. Damn i unlocked a memory
Have you forgotten the modular Police station (10278) from 2021 and Police training academy (60370) from this year. They also have mobile Police dog training (60369) set. I agree that there is a lot of repetition in City Line. But we have now got some different set the last year 😊
The modular buildings are a separate theme to Lego City
The Lego city police is stronger and better geared than some of the worlds armies
#Defund_lego_city_police
I love how the Lego City police just have access to Chinooks, Sea Stallions, Humvees, and even fighter jets and yet all they use them for is high speed chases. I can't imagine the taxes the average Lego City citizen must pay in order to keep the police running.
@@TacticalBaguettethere are no public services in lego city just police
The problem with police is that it’s not very versatile. For a while they did swamp police and changed from black to blue as the secondary colour, but it couldn’t be moulded into new concepts much. I’d personally love to see some detective city police sets that have a more film noir look, just to keep things more interesting. Someone else here mentioned a space police thing which I think would also be great!
I had the set at 0:37 when I was a kid and I LOVED it
You still have it?
@@SabineStudios unfortunately no, but I still have a few of the pieces left
What LEGO should release is a line of historic/vintage police car sets. One set, for example, from the 1930s, ‘50s, ‘70s, ‘90s, etc. kinda like how Speed Champions releases single car sets. These police car sets would have the car, a cop, and one robber with a small side build that embody the era they represent (fashion, stollen loot, side builds, etc.).
I hate how unrealistic police (and most other city sets) have gotten, it’s all so flashy and futuristic.
With having the 2008 and 2011 police station sets displayed in my city, then the 2012 forrest police station in my city with the 2021 modular police station as my main police station in my city, I would not be disappointed if lego branched out and gave us a GCPD set that was actually under either the lego batman theme or city theme but the police station itself was more batman related and maybe gave us villans we still have yet to receive as physical minifigs. I am looking at the mad hatter who we have only gotten in the lego batman video games so far.
I have the 2011 police station. The 2012 forest police station. the 2014 police station and the swamp police station. I had a little bit of an obssesion with police in my city. I took apart my 2011 station and kept the 2014 station and made a prison out the jail part.
My favourite sub theme is either the 2013 one, tbh I can’t remember the name but it’s the one with the museum, or it would probably be the prison island.
I always just called it the Lego City Undercover/ SWAT Wave. It and Forest Police go perfectly with the 2011 Wave
When these were first released in the 80's and the 90's police were generally better viewed. I don't think they're going to be as popular since internet videos of police brutality have become so common. They should go back to space police or forest rangers that people would have a better view of. In Europe though they probably don't have nearly as many problems with police violence as the US
I tried making a Lego Ideas set "Donut Patrol". A comment was made that this was making fun and disrespecting the job police officers do. I also had a swamp idea in my project that I feel was lifted and produced. Maybe Lego has a problem with police because of the seriousness that the job entails.
LEGO City Undercover had “donut cop” jokes galore, the Chief Wiggum Minifigure from The Simpsons theme also adapts the donuts from the show. I have no idea why LEGO would refuse a project on those grounds.
@@legometaworld2728 It wasn't denied because of pairing police officers with donuts. You know Lego Ideas does not give reasons for why they deny projects. This "Donut Patrol" Ideas project came out before Lego City Undercover and The Simpsons sets. My ideas set didn't get made because it didn't get enough votes to pass the review. My point is being a Police Officer is a serious job. Paring it with a silly idea like eating donuts may not seam respectful now. That is why Lego is having a problem theming police as anything but police. It's to serious of a job to be made fun of.
You all wanted to defund the police that also included the lego police
Bro the police theme is my favorite 😭😭
lego island release in 2016? Wanst it released 1 year ago? man, 8 years...woah.
Best sub theme Lego should make but will never do: Lego city swat
We kindaaaa got a SWAT team with World City… but that theme was a mess, lmao.
@@OurToyWorld yeah and with that line with the navy blue bricks, they had night vision goggles so I guess that one too sort of.
No, the best helicopter belongs to the 66046 set
No one can change my mind
Imagine a Lego space police subtheme of Lego city rather the actual evolution of classic space I’d love to see a set of criminals trying to steal a rocket ship or something if makes no sense but neither did sky police and that didn’t stop Lego
This video also describes a similar story to the lego city fire. Lego city should bring back the sets from 2011-2013, possibly even 2008-2010. I really wanted the 2011 police station but missed out on it. So upsetting to see that from 2011-2020 what was once a work of art is now junk. The best idea would be these sets they sell now are for young kids like they used to be lego juniors. They then re release the 2011-2013 sets as more advanced sets upto 12 and others who enjoy those sets. The same would also apply to the lego city fire sets. I understand that lego likes to make new sets all the time but the modern lego city police sets are "at an identical state to the original sets at start" I'd say even worse at least sets were decent at start. I'd recon it'd be better if they modernised their old sets rather than releasing new designs all the time.
Honestly they could modernize and expand the 2011 sets and I would lay my money down. I just got the Police Station online recently for a fair price and it's just as cool as I imagined back then.
@LaneCorbett Agree. I really loved that set. It would look great with modern colours. Also the same minifigs, which were so iconic compared to modern ones
the mountain police station used to be one of my favorite sets to include in the lego lore when i was 7
I always wished they’d do Sheriff sets. The minifigures could wear olive green and tan and the sets could be more jail and court related, Like a courthouse, transport vans, and the occasional patrol car.
Then city police could be the high speed pursuit and bank robbery stuff with faster looking cars and helicopters and all that jazz.
Large LEGO City Police Float Plane remake when?
NO, NOT CHASE MCCAIN!
The 2013, 2012, and 2015 were some good sub themes. They had some sets and pieces and side pieces that work well in a lego city layout.
The best Normal Subtheme is the 2017 one imo
If you ask me, there's an oversaturation for LEGO Police in general. And LEGO is actually self-aware about it - there's a police officer in LEGO 2K Drive that comments on how the town of Big Butte has "5 officers for every citizen" - that's enough to give every citizen their own security escort. Problem is, they don't do anything about it. I know kids like to play cops and robbers, but I'm pretty sure they like to do other things too...
Honestly, I kinda feel like LEGO has become too big as a company. They've become risk averse and unwilling to experiment because there's, well, no risk in not taking risks. I know that sounds like a redundant statement, but what I mean by that is that they're going to make money whether they try to innovate or not, so there's no reason for them to put in the effort. And when they do, it's usually "throw tech against the wall to see what sticks" rather than actually changing up formulas.
i always tried to figure out what police sets to choose. maybe some from 2005/2008 or 2014 for main sets. also the mountain police sets feel like a rebirth of the forest police. and sky police looks like a aviator 2014 police theme
Personally I feel like the new police livery and smaller sets ruined it. Now we just get smaller station and cars. We used to get a lot more. Around 2013 (when Lego city undercover came out) was the best year ever for Lego police.
2013 was awesome, I love the Museum set.
I really couldnt disagree more if im being honest, the early versions of lego police from 2005 to around 2011 was the best
I have a few sets from 2014 including high speed police chase, prisoner transport and mobile command unit also bike as well i have 1 forest police car set..tbh i really miss those old sets because cars looked normal and sets were nice now all went downhill..i ordered lego police set 7747(used set but with Little to no damage and tbh it's all used lego sets on that site that exists in my country) i want all those old sets back..
You forgot the night police sub theme from around 2011-2013. I forgot the exact year. It also gave us Chase McCain
elite police 2013
@@JuanSe-JsDm thats it. Thank you
the lack of doors on almost all new lego vehicles products is my biggest problem AND lack of creativity.
Im surprised Lego City undercover wasn’t mentioned here. It came out in conjunction with 2013’s elite police, and rode on the wave of success that the forest police created. Not to mention it tied in with those sets (and the 2011 line iirc) so it meant kids could actually play with the vehicles in the game. Plus it felt like a kids version of GTAV so that was cool too
Prison island goes hard
Lego could officially start a special ops/ Intelligense SPY set... That would be interesting, the building could have a lot of interior design like computers, desks, stations, interrogation rooms, etc.
The set could have special commandos, desk workers, SWAT Vans, undercover car, and maybe, an extraction boat and chopper.
Note: I'm talking about MAIN City Police only, so no Forest, Elite, Swamp ETC.
2014 Police were really good, 2011 and 2008 comes a close second and third respectively, 2017 4th, 2005/6? was honestly limited and quite bad, but not as bad as 2020 Police, which is only a hairs inch better than 2022.
2021 & 2023 fall into this weird category, while they arent subtheme, they are still city police.
As cool as this idea is the only subthemes I can think of that Lego could do anymore are a prison subtheme with higher quality printed prison guards and have things like prison towers but I don’t think would do that so they could also do swats with black colors and heavy armed swat vans and probably a helicopter that could be similar to the mountain police helicopter but in black for a more elite design because I can’t really think of many other environments where police would make sense to have full on police stations
International Police Subtheme
the main reason for this is that lego is always changing it's styles and such. also, lego has stuck with the idea that each set gets roughly 1-2 years on the market then it gets discontinued with rare sets not applying to this
0:28 have that set it’s sorta ruined but condition is fine
Same
The problem that the LEGO City theme has is exactly the police subtheme, now LEGO release police sets yearly, that wasn't the case back on their early years (2005-2010), back then City had a two to three year "calendar" used for avoiding repetitions of subthemes, for example, 2008: police and coastguard; 2009: farm and construction... LEGO City had a wide variety of subthemes that they no longer release sets of, like construction or coastguards, and this is due to the huge success that the police subtheme has gained through the last 10 years. To me, the saturation of the police sets started in 2012, where the early symptoms began showing, and by 2015 it was too late, LEGO started releasing police sets on a yearly basis.
I think it's okay to release sets and phase others out. My big issue is design change "forcing" you to buy all new. We only had a short run of the dull yellow and now we got highlighter. I bet in a year or 2 the color changes again.
2011-2013 was Peak Lego City Police. We had the perfect 2011 Police Station and Surrounding Wave, the Forrest Police in 2012, and the SWAT Vibes Chase McCain Tie in Cops in late 2012 early 2013. It's been downhill since with only Swamp Police as a glamor of It's former glory.
I’m glad to here that I’m not the only one who thinks the new Lego police is trash
God I loved the lego city police set.
I had City jail, Forest Police station, the transport weapon, swamp police.
I loved lego city undercover.
I'm glad Police seems to have been put on the backburner lately. Two year with the City space theme they didn't really have much by way of police stuff. And last year with the focus on farming we again got very little by way of police sets. I mean for years now I have been getting the City Advent Calendar from a friend and I find I like it best when it's more about the city and citizens and less about cops and other emergency services. I mean LEGO City Undercover really was brilliant for taking the police theme and mixing it with so many others. I still enjoy running around that city and playing with UFOs, jet packs, cars, and boats.
I got that Alcatraz set 💀
Man i remember i used to love collecting these sets. I used to watch videos of lego city undercover all the time and i loved the police minifigs. I used to use my minifigs to make zombie apocolayse with the police trying to rescue civilians.
WE NEED MORE POLICE DOG CARS!
About forest police, when I was a kid there was a set (this forest police helicopter) which I wanted really much, but at the end I didn’t got it (there were other sets, like 2014 mine etc. ) and after like 10 years I finally bought it. (used, but still)
It really is one of the best helicopters ever released, even 12 years later
Btw, I’m Not sure if you’ve seen this video, but I recently covered Forest Police on the channel-
th-cam.com/video/421vcfeAItk/w-d-xo.html
I 100% agree with you! The Prison Island was my favorite subtheme along with the forest police.
I also enjoyed the 2013 elite police, since that was the first time we saw special Police forces (obviously promoting Lego City undercover, one of the best lego video games imo) and a nice non-police side build (the museum)
Another thing I also dislike about the current police sets is the use of bright light yellow...it just doesn't fit imo
I personally think 2008-2013 was the best era sure the 2005-2008 sets were simple but it works because there is a difference between that era and now, think the biggest one were the build quality and design, but new police has low quality builds no sub themes.
2008-13 was Peak Lego City Police. We had the Transition from the old Style to the 2011 Style that lasted through the Forest and Undercover Sub Themes.
