Just a month ago we’ve got the very first look at some of the City 2018 sets. Now, with the official product pictures published online we can finally get ready for new adventures in the mountain forests, in the skies and deep into gold mines. But beware of grizzly bears and wild bees! As usual, prices are to be revealed very soon.

Nice to see that the rail and railcars aren’t going to be just in the Joker’s Mansion.
Grey rails, instead of the purple ones, open an entire new world of microscale MOCs!! Defining its own scale!!
Let’s finally get rid of such deformed minifigs and start creating bigger micro-worlds for trains and cities! Yeah!
Loving the new log and beehive pieces!
Most of these look awesome. Even the Mountail Police HQ looks better than I thought it would, no wonder that we have a closer look at it.
One thing bothers me, though; that massive machine in 60188. What exactly is that? It doesn’t look like any mining equipment I know of. It’s cool, but I’m wondering if it actually is based in reality or if it’s just cool.
Wait, I just noticed; in all of the new Police sets, it’s not alternatively gold and money that the crooks are stealing; it’s exclusively gold. And gold is also being mined out by the Mining Team in the mining sets . . . obviously, the crooks are stealing gold from the mine and the police are working with the miners to retrieve it! It’s cross-pollination of sub-themes! Awesome!
Why dio we need more police sets?
Afols don’t need more police sets, kids do. At least this series includes some useful, new pieces…
Agreed. Gold bar pieces in gold are surprisingly rare, and these are gonna be real useful for my Minecraft stuff. ^^
Could be a bucket wheel excavator
I am sensing a Roller Coaster only set in the near future…
