For the Wii U video game named after Lego City, see Lego City Undercover. Lego City is a theme under which Lego building sets are released. As the name suggests, Lego City sets are based on city life, with the models depicting city and emergency services (such as police and fire), airport, train, construction, and civilian services. Lego City has had various themes over the years since 2005. Here is a list of all the themes and the sets from early 2005 to late 2016. The City theme traces its origins to Lego Town, a theme introduced with the first minifigures in 1978. Since its introduction, different subthemes under the City banner were used to tie together related sets, such as Police, Coast Guard, Emergency, Airport, Road Rescue, Trains, Fire, and Harbor. During the Christmas season, a City-themed Advent Calendar set is sold through the online Lego Shop and at retailers.

Series 15 is a particularly strong grouping that includes characters from space, city, castle, and mythology themes, with new sculpted pieces galore. As with other waves, I want all sixteen of them. I'm trying to rein myself in a little though...at least as of this week. So using my best package-fondling skills (they're blind-packaged, so you need to use skilled fingertips to figure out who's who) I picked the seven characters I wanted most.
There are at least sixteen newly-sculpted pieces on the sixteen characters, like the farmer's pig (an updated sculpt from the old one), the queen's skirt and hairpiece, the wrestler's mullet. But that doesn't mean those characters have made my list. Here's who I picked up, and why they were must-buys. Here we go, from least-important to most. Astronaut -- I'm a fan of the Classic Space era of LEGO, like Benny from the "The LEGO Movie." That's when I first noticed LEGO was a thing, and I still love those guys best. This astronaut is like a modernized version of those, with the classic space logo printed on the flag, his shoulders, and chest plate. This is one of the characters I'd like four or five of, just to start some kind of new space mission. Like many of these characters, he's got printing on his arms and even the sides of his legs -- something LEGO's printing technology couldn't do easily five years ago, but is becoming more standard. Jewel Thief -- Is it weird to say you should just buy her because she's sexy?
Really, she's a classic cat burglar, with a skintight suit better than most Catwoman characters we've seen, with a great mask and smirk. The kicker for LEGO collectors is that hairpiece, which debuted in red on a Black Widow minifigure in the "Age of Ultron" sets, and has only made one other appearance until now. Plus diamond and grappling gun, but those are a dime a dozen. Animal Control Officer -- it seems like they try to get one new uniformed character into each series, someone who would make an interesting addition to the law-abiding residents of your LEGO City. Animal control seems like a weird choice, but it's a great female uniform, with printed short sleeves and patches, and a double-faced head. The coup de grace of course is the skunk. Any time there's a new LEGO animal, I'll be buying it. BECAUSE LOOK AT HIM YES WHO'S A GOOD BOY YES Tribal Woman -- I believe this is the fifth American Indian minifigure we've seen in this collection, and the second woman. She's got great printing that continues onto arms and legs, but is overall unremarkable.
Right there is LEGO's very first newborn baby. Here as a papoose, strapped onto mom's back, but if you had the same bundle of joy in white or pink or blue or plaid, it could be any baby in a LEGO city or castle or space. Babies are actually big sellers at the LEGO conventions, with smaller companies making things that LEGO hasn't gotten around to to fill the gaps. We don't know yet if this will mean a baby boom in standard LEGO sets, but it's nice to see the little fella/gal make a debut appearance here. Clumsy Guy -- he's got a lot going for him. Brand new crutch pieces, a new bandaged head piece, the banana peel shirt, the injured face, the printed cast. We've had LEGO ambulances and hospitals for decades, it's nice to get some new patients and equipment into the mix. For all that, my reason for wanting him was more personal. That right there is how I looked for most of this last summer, including a trip to LEGOLAND and a week with a beach house in San Diego. This guy will help me remember that.
Shark Suit Guy -- In almost every series, there's been a minifigure dressed as something in a mascot-style "suit." Dino Suit Guy, Gorilla Suit Guy, Hot Dog Suit Guy, Panda Suit Guy, Bumblebee Girl, Unicorn Girl -- you get the idea. Typically they're among my favorites in that series. Here we have Shark Suit Guy, who is simply beautiful. The head/dorsal fin/tail piece is amazing, giving him flippers instead of traditional arms, his face poking through the mouth -- it's just perfect. And whether you're claiming he's "Left Shark" or "Right Shark," he's a spectacular minifigure. Faun -- we've had some great characters inspired by classical mythology over the years. The Mminotaur and Medusa still rank among my favorite minifigures of all time. That hairpiece with horns and pointy ears and Very Good Hair is all-new. The torso based on my own chest is perfect for the character. The most amazing thing? Instead of just going with standard legs with innovative printing, they're all-new sculpts, giving the appearance of faun/satyr/goat legs.
I love that LEGO came up with such an elegant solution. I can't think of a way they'd use those legs on any other characters, but now that the piece is out there, maybe they'll come up with something. But now your Narnia/Percy Jackson worlds can come to life. Or get sucked up in the vacuum cleaner. So those are my top seven. The next four on my list would be the Queen, the Janitor, Ballerina, and Winged Warrior, because they all have new pieces, but they are also complementary to other minifigures we already have. The remaining characters -- I feel like I have enough knights and farmers and stuff. Although, when you need a fix... Series 15 is in stores now, and are easiest to find at The LEGO Store, Target, and Toys R Us. Retail price is $3.99, although if you have a Kroger affiliate (Fred Meyer, Smith's Marketplace) they frequently have sales on LEGO that drop the price below that line. The next series, coming in May or June, has eighteen Disney characters. LEGO did two series of "The Simpsons," and now it looks like they're taking things a little further.
