Lego
released the City Fun in the Park - City People Pack (60134) set on 1st June 2016. It retails at £34.99. It has a piece count
of 157 and comes with an outstanding fourteen minifigures, a dog and a little baby minifigure! This is available from many retailers as well as Lego themselves. The
box contains three numbered bags and three instruction booklets.
As this is a Minifigure People Pack then I am going to do this a little differently to the previous review. I will cover each mini build in the set along with it's minifigure(s) as per the instruction booklets. So without further ado let's get into the set itself!
Wheelchair with Disabled Man
So first up we have the disabled minifigure and his wheelchair. The wheelchair and the back wheels I believe are new and exclusive (as of this review) to this set. Which makes it even more exciting! I know for myself this wheelchair was one of the main selling points of this set.
The Minifigure himself has quite a
generic but happy face. Wearing his grey beanie hat he's also keeping
nice and warm with his light grey hoody over his dark red sweater. He
has plain earth blue legs
Hot Dog Stand with Chef
Next up we have the hot dog stand with a chef minifigure. The hot dog stand itself is simple but effective. On the bottom it has a set of wheels on one side and a stand on the other. A little lid on top opens to reveal a see through compartment where the little fella keeps his hot dogs. On top you have a red and yellow 'taps' which are obviously the sauce bottles! Ketchup and Mustard with your hot dog sir? Why don't mind if I do! A little umbrella is perched on top to keep him and his hot dogs in the shade. Then a simple piece for handles.
The set officially comes with only one hotdog, but also comes with a spare. So you get two! You only get one bun though, which I believe is a new piece! I have also seen these in the Lego Friends Amusement Park Hot Dog Van (41129).
The Chef minifigure consists of a male with a mustache. He wears his chef's hat and coat with pride. The torso is white with a chef print on the front and some back printing. He has plain brick yellow (tan) legs. He holds what appears to be a pair of tongs which he uses to serve his delicious hot dogs!
Bus Stop with Business Lady
Not really much to cover for the next build, it's just a simple printed bus stop sign on a 2x2 base light grey poly with a business lady waiting patiently for the bus to arrive.
The business lady minifigure has a happy looking face with lipstick and wears a pair of glasses. Her suit is earth blue and is only buttoned twice at the front revealing her shirt underneath. The torso is both front and back printed and the legs are plain. She has short and maintained brown hair and holds her briefcase, which is empty as she's already had her lunch today.
My only dislike with this minifigure is the yellow of her chest. As it is printed onto the blue torso is has a green tint and doesn't really match the colour of the face very well, making it look a little odd.
Roundabout with Little Blonde Boy
The roundabout is cool! The main round green plate is 8x8 studs in size. The smaller 6x6 plate spins freely on top. Finished off with 4 yellow railings for those little children to hold on to! Included in this minibuild is a cute little tree. There are two of these trees in the set.
Here we see our first of many child minifigures in the set. He is a blonde haired boy with a freckled and happy face. That is of course unless you turn the head around, then you get his sad face. He wears a royal blue hoody which is unzipped at the front to reveal his primarily lime green polo shirt. He has dark tan coloured legs, which are short as he is a child sized minifigure.
Bicycle with Cyclist
Here we have a simple red bicycle with a transparent yellow stud on the front for the 'bike light'. This cyclist knows that safety is important especially when riding his bike at night.
This is one of my favourite minifigures in this set. His black and green jacket print on his torso is awesome! He has plain black legs to go with. Again our smart cyclist wears a white helmet to keep him safe.
Bench with Grandparents
Here we have a 6 stud long park bench for our tired elderly grandparents to rest on whilst they watch their grandchildren play. The bench itself is earth blue and consists of two different shades of grey for the base and the pieces holding the back on. We also get a beautiful pink flower.
These two minifigures are fantastic! I think these might even be my first eldery minifigures I've had in a set. Our lovely grandmother has a very friendly face with rather large light brown framed glasses and red lipstick. She has short but quite a big white hair piece. Her torso is a blue knitted cardigan which is printed both sides. Her legs are a plain light sand colour. Grandpa looks a bit more composed than grandma but he's still a friendly fella. He has a nice knitted v-neck jumper which is a light brown nougat colour, there's no back print on this minifigure's torso. With his white shirt collar poking out. He has plain brown legs.
White Picket Fence with Painter Lady
Very simple build here. A white picket fence on a green 2x4 plate. We also have a light grey bucket with a dark tan coloured handle. The only sad thing with this is Lego did not include a white stud for the 'paint' in the bucket. I've actually added one of my own as the set doesn't feel complete without it. I am a little dissapointed that they did not include one in the set.
Here is a picture of the bucket with my added white stud inside. It just looks so much better. Lego have included studs in sets with buckets before to portray that is full of paint, hence my slight dissapointment with this.
Our female minifigure appears to have a slightly happy smile. As most female minifigures do she is also wearing lipstick. She has nice brown hair which goes into a little pony tail at the back. Her head does have two faces printed, with the other side being a rather worried look! She is wearing light grey overalls over her white top. There are various splatters of paint all over her body and legs. This minifigure does have front print on her legs! She is one of my favourites.
Football and Goal with Siblings
We have a simple goal set on top of a 2x6 green plate. The goal itself is actually a window frame, topped with a smooth 1x6 tile. It comes with a football which is pretty awesome. This is the first and only football I have out of all the Lego I have! So it is a nice addition to my collection.
I believe these two are brother and sister. The boy has a cool half smile on his freckled face. He wears a blue baseball cap and a white tee shirt with red sleeves. He has a picture of Benny's head printed on the front. He has short earth blue legs. The girl has light mouse brown hair. Also with a freckled face she has a slight half smile. She has round frames glasses which are a slightly dark red in colour. She wears a pink striped vest with a kitty logo on. Her legs are a medium sky blue. They seem to be having fun playing football together!
Park Bench with Father and Daughter
I love this bench! The design is fantastic. It is 8x6 studs total in size. Consisting of light grey and brown for a metal and wood look. We get a little picnic bag, a croissant and a red apple. But we really to watch the family dog. He's after that red apple!
For our minifigures we first have the father. He wears a red lumberjack style shirt printed on both sides and has plain blue legs. He has a black hair which goes well with his black facial hair. His blonde haired daughter has a few freckles but I honestly think her hair is dyed because her eyebrows are brown. She wears a light blue hoody which is open at the front revealing her purple round necked top with a star in the middle. She has short lavender coloured legs. Our family dog is brown with black printed detail on his face and sides.
Lawnmower with Gardener
Here we have a really cool looking lawnmower build. The only downfall is that the wheels do not freely turn because they are held by clips.
Our minifigure is wearing green overalls over a red shirt with blue crossed stripes. She has a slightly happy but more serious face with lipstick. Her hair is a darker brown and is quite long. I have removed the hair below as well so you can see all of her back print.
Pushchair with Baby and Mother
This is the main reason I've bought this set! This little baby is too cute for words. I believe this is the only set as of this review to have this little minifigure in.
Below you will see the baby minifigure in all it's detail. I've put mommy next to the baby so you can see the size difference. He wears a simple white babygrow and has the most adorable face ever! His head does turn and is seperate to his body. The neck piece and head is smaller than a standard minifigure. The arms, hands and legs are one solid mould so sadly they do not move. The mother herself wears a lavender blouse which is open at the front to reveal her lighter lavender coloured top. She is also wearing a necklack. She has red lipstick and holds a bottle for her baby. She has sky blue legs. Her hair is short and wavey and is of a lightish orange brown colour. She has a second print on her head where she is wearing pink framed sunglasses and is smiling more with her teeth showing.
The Verdict
Well as we come to the end of a long but worthwhile review I have to say I am very happy with this set. It contains an astonishing 14 minifigures, 1 baby minifigure and a dog as well as several cool looking mini builds. I have also noticed with this set that the shade of the hands is more accurate to the faces. I noticed sadly through many previous Lego sets that there hands were a lighter shade of yellow than the heads. It appears Lego have sorted this, which is a good thing. My only concern when looking to purchase this set was the price. At £34.99 I strongly believe it is overpriced. Considering it only contains 157 pieces, if this was a normal set I believe it would retail for £14.99. Of course, I don't expect it for that. As it is a minifigure pack. However I just can't justify an extra £20 above what a similar piece set would retail for because it is primarily minifigures. I believe that £24.99 would have been a fairer price for this set. That said the only reason I bought this set at £34.99 was because of the free Creator Fountain (40221) set. I see that I've paid £34.99 for both the sets. I did of course have to spend a bit more to get the order over £50 for the free set. All in all this is a great set. Other than the price and the lack of a white stud for the paint bucket I am happy. I do recommend this set.
