I honestly love the older LEGO city sets, I feel like the newer ones now sort of lack originality and we never really get something new to the table. With the recent farm sets, thats changed
My brother had the 2011 Police Station set. Many battles and prison breaks happened there. Eventually it was destroyed in some apocalyptic event or something.
@@PHANTOMZOMBIE We made our LEGOs battle all the time. There were wars spanning that sometimes spanned months, caused by political, social, and even sometimes religious issues. Thinking back on it now it's hilarious but we loved it. We were very creative as children.
Yes, many of my Lego sets were destroyed in some type of dismantling or scrapping. But many of them are now being rebuilt and I am looking forward to seeing all these sets rebuilt again instead of being pieces in a ziplock bag.
The 2014 camper van was the last gift my grandfather gave me before passing away, one of my biggest regrets in life was not cherishing it more at the time…
I 100% agree with your number 1. I remember seeing that set for the first time when I was 11, my parents said it was too expensive and got me a 4439 Helicopter. At the age of 21, I purchased this police station on eBay for $57, only missing a few pieces easy to replace. Man what a GREAT set it is
Offroad fire rescue was a super early Lego set for me as well! I completely forgot I had this memory but when I was 4 my family went on a vacation, visited a big aquarium and in a store my parents bought the fire truck and the doctor's car for my brother and me. Great times.
I have alot of nostalgia for the 3178 seaplane set. I have no clue why i just love the 2007-2011 look where not everything had to be curved or studless
Wow, I’ve never even seen half of these before! That museum set is totally a classic.. I think my favorite hospital is this year’s, with the new ambulance using the highlighter color!
I have about 75% of these and I’m planning to rebuild them. A funny coincidence is that off-road fire truck was also my very first Lego set. I love the nostalgia these sets bring me.
Cool list. I didn't know about half of these sets. I got into City because of LEGO City Undercover. Since then I use that city as the model for my concept of Lego City in general. I mean the limo form number 19 was an unlockable car and I only found out now it was a real set. I am also a truck driver so I had to find that lego semi at 13. I wish i could have gotten the Toys 'R' Us one though since I drive a blue truck IRL. And your number 1 pic was actually the police station they used in the game and that's pretty awesome. A side note, a friend of mine has been getting me the City Advent Calendars for a few years now. I started the tradition by getting my brother the Star Wars Advent Calendar. In exchange he sends me a pic of what he gets each day. My friend doesn't have any siblings or much of an extended family but he wanted in on the fun and one year suprised me with the City Calendar. It's been great since I got this tradition started. The lead up to Christmas is so much more fun now.
The old raised platform Indiana Jones set was awesome to play on as a kid. We made that a part of the city rather than the actual set it was meant to be. It was like a temple or something and it had the Russian lady and two of her goons. Really fun times back then. Super nostalgic video my man, you really brought back some fond memories with this one.
I would add: 60097 City Square. The set is quite big, has a lot of minifigs, the LEGO store looks nice, the tram and the stop look modern, overall a great addition to your city. 7641 City Corner. As I heard this was the first true city set, the buildings add up to each other well and look classy, good for storymaking, looks outdated now but still a great set for me. 60050 Train Station. Has some cool shops (the LEGO one especially), looks modern, has modern amenities. 4207 City Garage. A multitude of nice cars, big set, many things to do with it.
I never was able to get the Lego police station… that was until Covid, and after that first year, my brother and I decided to get the Lego city police station and airport off of bricklink, as a special treat for making it through a tough year. It was so pricey but getting to build it was so worth it!
7942 was also one of my first sets!! And I also own the garbage truck from 2012! And god I love 7286, will always be one of my favorite sets (also had that) 7498, my first like big Lego build, will always have a place in my heart
Yes, I love the lego tops, I remember the old days ahhhh what times, the nostalgia of our past that was also of modern times that you can see the differences of the changes that they are good and bad I wanted the cargo truck very much but I didn't succeed sam mil I was born in 2007 and living in Romania 🇷🇴 my family was not good in the early 2000s but it has improved often Over the years I liked this set but I didn't manage to buy it I jump hope one day to get it from Bricklink to give the garbage truck from 2016 I wanted it but I couldn't convince myself parents to buy this one. I remember that we try to convince my parents every morning when we go to school to buy me the train station, success, but prison on the island, not to mention another work of persuasion that ended in the final, with nothing was Christmas, I remember before and I made the list for Santa Claus, unfortunately I didn't bring Santa ClausWhat I wanted, lego, one of the sets I received only in 2019, that is, 5 years later, yes and I had asked Santa Claus to bring me the lego sets, but I never brought what I wanted, very rarely, the hospital in 2018 I had it clever Set I can say that once my wish was fulfilled, the same was true of the police station in 2010, I wanted it but I didn't receive it and, admittedly, my family made many sacrifices for me, to make me happy, especially since I was sick since I was little, I have chronic kidney disease, yes, 14 years of torment, trips through hospitals in Romania 🇷🇴 that have the best conditions, I recommend you to treat yourselves in them, I am approaching a kidney transplant, yes, almost the end of a long sleep, with hardships, there are adventures that finally end and another one begins, I am grateful to God for the sixth It has also been given to me by my family who support me and to my loved ones who have helped me and will continue to support me, I wish you all to have a wonderful life full of joy and happiness and don't forgetFamily is always the most important, that's why I'm passionate about Lego because Lego represents family 😊
I love older Lego City sets tbh. The new ones try too hard to be modern or "pastel" in design to me imo The older ones I have so much nostalgia for, and thankfully for good reasons as well lol
the 2011 police station is also my favorite lego city set, and most of the reason has to do because it was my first ever lego set, that police station was the reason i got into lego, i still have it today, all tho sadly the minifig were lost through the years, i still have everything
My favorite one is the 2010 airport 3182, I remember having to get my grades better so I could have this set, I was 8 at the time, I don't have it anymore as I didn't know how to keep my toys intact as a kid, but it's my favorite just for the emotional value
I always wanted the Lego semi truck set, but it retired before I could ever get it one day I was at a second-hand store and found the set but I didn't have money on me so I was going to come back for it but the store closed down and I never got it
i actully own Prision island Tow truck (white and green) Garbage truck Prisioner transport ( but sadly only the police van beacuse i bought it at a yard sale
NOWBODY MAKES A LIST OF BEST LEGO CITY SETS WITHOUT ADDING A TRAIN TO THEIR LIST!!!!!!!!!!! The Lego City trains were awesome. You can run them around, and they usually have a ton of other play features. FINDING OUT THAT NO LEGO CITY TRAIN MADE IT TO THE LIST MAKES ME FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to inflation new sets are kinda bad and overpriced
@@DaToxicJay 2018 was the last good year of lego city
The new city sets are so lackluster and not as realistic as Lego city once was😞
My brother had the 2011 Police Station set. Many battles and prison breaks happened there. Eventually it was destroyed in some apocalyptic event or something.
Lol
My little brother sat on it because h read a baby 😭😭😭 I’m currently trying to rebuild it
What do you mean by battles

i totally agree
The doors for the cargo area was sooo good
I also agree those days were good!
i’d even say 07-2013 golden era
@@josiahtitus 2005-2010 for me
Wow, I’ve never even seen half of these before! That museum set is totally a classic.. I think my favorite hospital is this year’s, with the new ambulance using the highlighter color!
One of the most underrated Lego City has gotta be the big Mine set
Most of these sets I wanted so badly as a child. Great vid!
All very nice picks : seems that 2009-2011 were some of the strongest years for Lego ; not only in City, but throughout their lineup.
I have about 75% of these and I’m planning to rebuild them. A funny coincidence is that off-road fire truck was also my very first Lego set. I love the nostalgia these sets bring me.

I love that lego made a print of the painting 'the girl with the pearl earring' in museum set
Honestly LEGO City before 2019?/2020 was very good, 2020 onwards just seems like facades.
Wow that truck and trailer brought me back, the ambulance from that time is super nostalgic too
sick video! you should definitely do more Lego city based videos
The old raised platform Indiana Jones set was awesome to play on as a kid. We made that a part of the city rather than the actual set it was meant to be. It was like a temple or something and it had the Russian lady and two of her goons. Really fun times back then. Super nostalgic video my man, you really brought back some fond memories with this one.
1:07 I enjoy how you were missing 1 piece, so you rebought the entire set
I love your videos man, you are the only lego channel I watch
Thanks, I appreciate it!
I would add:
60097 City Square. The set is quite big, has a lot of minifigs, the LEGO store looks nice, the tram and the stop look modern, overall a great addition to your city.

I love LEGO helicopters. Great video!
Thank you for the nostalgia!
No problem!
this is the best honest rating ever I really like the lego sets you picked and keep up the amazing work :D
Also the first lego set in 1st is amazing I have to agree on that opninon
I never was able to get the Lego police station… that was until Covid, and after that first year, my brother and I decided to get the Lego city police station and airport off of bricklink, as a special treat for making it through a tough year. It was so pricey but getting to build it was so worth it!
I have tons of nostalgia for 7286 Prisoner Transport and 7285 Police Dog Unit, and I had them combined into a Multi-Use Vehicle.
In final decision I want to saying "The old lego city sets was better"
7942 was also one of my first sets!!
And I also own the garbage truck from 2012!
And god I love 7286, will always be one of my favorite sets (also had that)
7498, my first like big Lego build, will always have a place in my heart
I agree with you👍🏽
love your videos dude, keep doin that, please do more mario sets, i have biggest collection from this series
Thanks but I'm not really into Mario.
@@BatFlightBuilds okay, i get it
I agree with all of these, I owned about 1/4th of them. Good memories
The 2011 police station and the first station (not sure what year, but I’m pretty sure it was set 7208) were absolutely goated.
Number 9 was one of my most begged for sets and I got it years back
Ngl 2010-2016 lego city was peak when the brand was at its peak.
The 60000 series of fire sets are the most nostalgic to me.

NO WAY! 7942 was my first LEGO set as well! I got it for Christmas from my aunt when I was 4 years old.
I got the Police Station in 2013, the absolute GOAT.
I love older Lego City sets tbh. The new ones try too hard to be modern or "pastel" in design to me imo
The older ones I have so much nostalgia for, and thankfully for good reasons as well lol
No.18 was unreal
My most nostalgic city sets are in of the bigger volcano explorers sets and the artic research base. Also the jet hangar is up there
the 2011 police station is also my favorite lego city set, and most of the reason has to do because it was my first ever lego set, that police station was the reason i got into lego, i still have it today, all tho sadly the minifig were lost through the years, i still have everything
I have that police station you ranked as #1. I agree that it is a great set and deserves more respect
I have most of these….shambled in a bin lol
Lol off road fire rescue was one of my first as well and I’m pretty sure I also thought I was missing a piece but actually had just dropped it
My favorite one is the 2010 airport 3182, I remember having to get my grades better so I could have this set, I was 8 at the time, I don't have it anymore as I didn't know how to keep my toys intact as a kid, but it's my favorite just for the emotional value
Great video :D
What are your thoughts on the optimus prime set?
I personally have no interest in it.
I have the police station from 2017 which is probably my favorite behind the cargo train from 2014
2005 - 2013 was the golden era of Lego City
1:00 that was my first set also
*I own four of those sets* 20, 5 ,2 and 1
I always wanted the Lego semi truck set, but it retired before I could ever get it
one day I was at a second-hand store and found the set but I didn't have money on me so I was going to come back for it but the store closed down and I never got it
I have the 1st place lego city police station its actually sick and worth you're cash if you bougth it when it was on sale.
off road fire rescue was my first lego set also
Sigh........... so much nostalgia from when I was younger
i have almost half of these including #5, #4, and #1 😄
The camper van set was my first.
Out of your top 20, I own 9 of those sets.
We share a number one.
#1 should actually be the Police Station from 2008 (7744 Police Headquarters)
Number 2 on the list was my first lego set I got
Respect to you
i actully own
Prision island
Tow truck (white and green)
Garbage truck
Prisioner transport ( but sadly only the police van beacuse i bought it at a yard sale
ah yes, i do love me building my own Lego city, especially when the city is made up of mostly crime!
number 1 was my first lego set and only police station set i have ever owned
That's my favorite set also
I love this channel
Thanks!
My first set is 60081 now i lost from the pickup tow truck two tires
7:26 this was my first ever Lego set
The good old days…
I might tryna get all these sets but its gonna cost me a lot of money
I too collect lego city too I love lego cuty
I finally got the 2011 Police Station recruited
Lego city peaked in the late 2000s

@@BatFlightBuilds But wouldn't you want to judge them for the amount of features, how big it is, or how much fun it is?
I think the best lego city set is set 7898
bro how did you find my favorite lego sets?
I have #1
Bruh imagine having a Lego set with a Lego piece of a different lego set
What?

You said it was pretty meta.
Oh yeah, I wasn't sure what you were talking about.

God how Lego city has fallen off it’s absolutely terrible now
