(The vehicle design from this same set could be used in another color as a utility repair truck of some kind.) At full price (hopefully, we can do better), the total price so far is $270.ĭepending on what kind of deals I can get, and if I have some money left, I might buy the #60212 LEGO City Barbecue Burn Out at $10 (see below) to have an already designed mini-scene. (And no, I wouldn’t spend $100 on the #60216 LEGO City Fire Brigade.) The above-mentioned three big sets would also give me several vehicles and a medivac helicopter. ![]() As far as police stations, I would go with a standard station like the #60141 LEGO City Police Station for $100, not something like jungle police, forest police, or air police.

Every town needs and every child wants a police station around, a fire station and a hospital. BUILDING A LEGO CITY – FIRST ROUND PICK OF SETS I’m also limiting myself to sets that I can currently buy at major retailers like Target and Wal-Mart, as well as at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. I’ll also assume that I can purchase LEGO sets at 20% off the regular list price, which brings the total value of the sets to about $620 ($620 – 20% = $496) and $1,240 ($1,240 – 20% = $992). For this exercise, I will assume that I would be starting from scratch, owning no LEGO sets at all. ![]() ![]() Am I the only adult fan of LEGO who is on a budget? Am I the only parent who has to have a constraint on my children’s presents? I thought it would be an interesting exercise to see what kind of LEGO city one could build these days with a budget of $500 or even $1,000.
