This is one of the largest LEGO City sets ever released, and includes a LEGO retail store with a LEGO delivery truck, a car dealership and service center with a tow-truck and three vehicles, a tram with a tram-stop, a coffee shop, 14 minifigures and more!
So let’s take a closer look at everything we got here! I have also included the video-review of the set by JANGBRiCKS, so you can see all the details. ➡ LEGO CITY SQUARE LEGO SHOP & TRUCK: Let’s talk about the LEGO shop included in the set as it is one of the most interesting sections. This is the first time we have a – what we could consider – full size LEGO shop in any LEGO set, so that in itself is unique. Also unique is that the LEGO boxes displayed in the shop come with printed tiles, instead of stickered elements, like what we got before. The LEGO delivery truck is a nice addition that increases the play-value of the whole setup. You can put the LEGO boxes inside the truck to have them delivered, or you can also have them displayed in the store. And we get unique minifigs too! Two store-employees with very nicely printed torsos (front and back), and a super awesome green LEGO Futuron minifigure with an updated torso print. Futuron was a LEGO Space theme from the late 1980s. T
he minifigs had a space-suit with a zipper going across the chest and the LEGO Classic Space logo. The torso never came in green, so having a green version is a big deal in itself – kind of like the LEGO Classic Space minifigs in the #21109 LEGO Ideas Exo Suit set. I predict that this minifig is going to be a hot (and pricey) seller on the LEGO market. ➡ LEGO CITY SQUARE TRAM & TRAM-STOP: One of the most visible parts of this set is the tram, and it looks exceptionally good. The orange and black color scheme, the large windows, the swiveling mid-section, and the fact that the tram can transport quite a few minifigs and even a bike, makes this a really good looking transportation option in your LEGO City. Also, JANGBRiCKS mentions in the video-review (see below) that the tram can run on regular LEGO train tracks and can be motorized as well. With the tram comes a small tram-stop. This is a nice little built with a tree and a self-service ticket-machine. ➡ LEGO CITY SQUARE CAR DEALERSHIP & TRUCK: The car dealership and service station takes up the most room in this set. T
he dealership is big enough to accommodate two cars on display and can be attached to or separated from the service station – depending on how you want to set it all up. There is also a third car, so you get plenty of vehicles in this set. I really like the service station part of this set; it is simple, but works really well. The tow-truck is also exceptionally well designed. In fact, there is not one vehicle in this set that doesn’t look exceptionally good. ➡ LEGO CITY SQUARE COFFEE SHOP: This is a nice little addition to the set, representing the same coffee chain as what we have seen in The LEGO Movie. It comes with a coffee-machine, coffee mugs, and a small seating area with a picnic-table. Also, we get a female version of the torso of Larry the barista from The LEGO Movie, which I know lots of LEGO fans will be very happy about. ➡ LEGO CITY SQUARE EXTRAS: There are many extras in this set as well. A well-designed small news station helicopter, a pizza delivery guy on a red scooter, a hot-dog cart, a red bicycle, and even a husky that previously only appeared in the LEGO City Arctic sets.
➡ As I have mentioned at the beginning, there are 14 minifigures in this set, with half of them unique: the two LEGO store employees, the LEGO Futuron minifigure, the female barista, the helicopter pilot and the pizza delivery guy. That’s pretty amazing. Two of the minifigs are children with short legs, and three are females. As you can see, the #60097 LEGO City Square is a well designed and well thought out set, with a higher level of complexity and detail than most LEGO City sets. Also, there are plenty of new elements included, like the large windows on the tram or the new style mud-guards on the tow-truck. The total piece-count is 1683 pieces and the price is $189.99. That’s a tad higher than the usual 10 cents a piece (11 cents per piece here), but still not bad. Especially considering that the set is very modular and could be set up in pretty much any configuration. Also, the play-value is very high here. The issue is shelling out $190 for one set. If you can get it now I definitely recommend it, but if not, this would be a great set to save up for the holidays or other special occasions. I
t is a LEGO City set, so it should stay around for at least a couple of years. Here is the link to the Online LEGO Shop. So what do you think? How do you like the LEGO City Square? Which features and minifigs do you like the most? Any other interesting details you noticed that I didn’t mention? Are you planning to get it right away, save up for it, or pass?

We had two little friends visit us for a sleep over, and the subject of trains and cars and trucks came up.We have a couple of different types of lego wheels. Small ones that are quite recent, and larger ones that are from the early eighties (I love that about LEGO. The stuff is indestructable!).I used a stamp pad like I did in the original post to stamp onto the opened up raisin box where the LEGO knobbles were going to line up. I punched the last two on either end of the box.
I think you could do this without that long green piece (and we did with cars that I will put in another post), but I was thinking maybe the green piece would give the carriage more rigidity.Once the box was punched I placed the box over the knobbles and secured it with two little LEGO pieces.All that had to be done then was to fold up the box again and glue the long side back together.I didn't glue the ends of the box because I wanted the kids to be able to open it and swap out carriages with the bases themselves.I drew up an engine and a circus carriage with lion for them, but left the others blank for them to draw on themselves. My first idea was to just use a few of my hair elastics to join the carriages, but that turned out pretty lame and didn't give the kids the easy option to reorder and reconnect the carriages themselves (they were only three, four and five years old)Instead I opted to cut some more card and punch some couplings for them to use. These worked really well and although the three year old kids found them fiddly, the five year old kids had no trouble taking them apart and putting them back together.
Lots of people in the last post I did were lamenting that their kids were not yet old enough for the teeny LEGO. Don't let that stop you experimenting! Both sizes of the DUPLO can be hacked with the contents of your recycling bin too!Just openned up the butter box like I did with the raisin boxes and stamped the shape of the knobbles on the card, then drew around them and cut out the hole so that it was a snug fit around the knobbles on the little cart base we had.Then put a couple of other bits of DUPLO on top to secure it.Fold it all up and glue it shut. Cut some windows and doors with an Exacto blade.This time the hair bobble thing worked well to connect the wagon to the cowboy's car because the DUPLO wheeled bases already have couplings would work with and I just needed to extend it with the hair bobble.Only draw back to using the butter box was the finish on the inside was obviously treated to prevent grease from damaging it, so my daughter had to use sharpies to colour it in. Most boxes wouldn't have this problem though.
