LEGO City 2012 Rumour List Part II

A few weeks ago you read a list of rumoured City sets for January 2012, and now you can read a shorter list of sets that may be coming to LEGO City next August. This is even more tentative than the previous list, as August 2012 is a whole year away.


The second wave of 2012 City releases will be based around a construction-esque gold mining sub-theme, and the following five sets are expected:

4200 Test Drilling
4201 Mini Excavator
4202 Dump Truck
4203 Excavator Transport
4204 The Mine

With these sets following on from the Forest Police/Fire sub-theme, it suggests that LEGO are really looking to make a push in the USA in 2012. There is little relevance with forests and gold mines in Europe, but these would be right at home on a toy aisle in America. At present LEGO hasn’t quite broken the perception stateside of being a ‘luxury’ toy, and this could be an attempt by LEGO to break that idea and take the USA by storm the way it has recently done in Europe.
