You may not be a LEGO City fan per se, but the series packs so much play value that it is hard to resist. Parents who wish to introduce their children to LEGO start with Duplo, but Creator 3-in-1 and City are often excellent follow-ups owing to their depth, variety, and playability.
The LEGO City summer 2025 sets have now been detailed in full by the LEGO Group, which is nine new additions to the line. Without further ado, let’s sink our teeth into each set and see what is on offer for the release date on August 1.
Arctic Truck (60471)
Arctic Truck (60471) is the first set in the new summer series, featuring an articulated truck with 6-wheel suspension, deep-tread tires, and a rotating rooftop observatory. The set includes five minifigures, explorers and scientists, equipped with gear like a snowmobile, research charts, and a crate of supplies.
Adding to the adventure, the set comes with three Arctic wolf figures—a mother and two pups—plus a bit of snowy scenery to inspire imaginative play.
The truck’s roof lifts off to reveal a detailed interior, complete with a driver’s cabin, a control room for scientific work, a toilet, a small entertainment lounge, and a dining area. The set could add to the Arctic Explorer Ship (60368) for a more complete collection and even better play value.
With 1,064 pieces and a retail price of $119.99, this set offers a rich building and play experience for fans of Arctic exploration.
Explorer Train (60470)
If you’re looking to bring a bit of Arctic scenery to your summer, the Explorer Train (60470) delivers just that. This massive set includes 1,517 pieces and will retail for $209.99. It comes complete with 30 pieces of train track, a toy mountain tunnel with a rockfall function, an outpost building, and a mining cave.
Wildlife returns in the form of two Arctic fox figures, while six minifigures—including Johnny Thunder (yes, the boy is back!) and five explorers—are featured in dynamic roles: skiing, maintaining tracks, snapping photos, or rushing off to their next mission.
The set includes a remote-controlled locomotive, passenger car, and flatcar to elevate the play experience. A small caveat: it requires 10 x LR03 (AAA) batteries, which are not included.
Inside, the train is packed with detail, and the flatcar allows for cargo loading and unloading—like a snowmobile. There’s even a working zipline that lets minifigs travel between the different structures found around the tracks. All in all, the Explorer Train (60470) combines immersive scenery and strong play value, making it a standout addition to the Arctic theme.
Central Train Station (60469)
Waiting to catch your train will be comfy and pleasant at Central Train Station (60469), another confirmed and upcoming set in the LEGO City lineup for summer 2025. The set comes complete with seven minifigs — passengers, station workers, and a baby figure — along with a couple of pigeons to add to the theme of the set.
Players have plenty of detail to take in, such as the clock tower at the very top and a maintenance railcar lifting a worker with a wrench to fix the lighting above the main arch.
The station is packed with fine touches, including a lounge where minifigs can grab a bite to eat if they still have time before their next train, as well as a signaling system for the trains, modern benches, time schedules, and a cash register where LEGO minifigs can pick up a cup of coffee.
Yet, there’s more — a working elevator takes you up to a control room where a dispatcher is hard at work monitoring the trains’ comings and goings and ensuring that the signaling and rail-switching systems are in order.
Heavy-Duty Recovery Tow Truck with Crane (60467)
Another exciting addition to the LEGO City 2025 summer lineup is Heavy-Duty Recovery Tow Truck with Crane (60467). This set, packed with 793 pieces, will retail for $89.99 and offers plenty of play value for both builders and LEGO enthusiasts.
The set features a rotator tow truck equipped with a working crane, complete with stabilizing outriggers and a winch to help load and tow vehicles with ease. The crane’s 360-degree rotation offers complete freedom of play, allowing for endless scenarios where you help lift heavy pieces of building materials or assist damaged and stranded vehicles.
But that’s not all! The versatility of this set lets you incorporate the crane into your LEGO City in creative ways, expanding your landscape however you see fit. Plus, it includes three minifigures that bring the scene to life, along with more fun accessories such as four traffic cones, two telephones, a walkie-talkie, a wrench, a shovel, and a warning triangle.
With so many interactive elements, the Heavy-Duty Recovery Tow Truck with Crane is set to add even more excitement to your LEGO City adventures!
Yellow Bulldozer (60466)
Ready to break ground on your next construction project? Bring in the Yellow Bulldozer (60466), a hefty, 682-piece beast of a machine, perfect for tackling big jobs. It comes with three fully equipped minifigures, each geared up with tools like wrenches, a warning sign, and a walkie-talkie to keep things running smoothly amidst the construction chaos.
The bulldozer itself is packed with realistic functions, including a raiseable pusher blade, a dual-shank rear ripper, and a detailed engine featuring moving pistons and a spinning cooler fan — because yes, it gets a little toasty in that cab!
There’s also some debris you can shift around during play, and if you’re looking to expand the fun, pair it with other LEGO City heavy machinery like the Yellow Mobile Construction Crane (60409) or the Yellow Construction Excavator (60420), or the Heavy-Duty Recovery Tow Truck with Crane (60467).
In the meantime, you can get the Yellow Bulldozer set for $64.99, although at the time of writing this article, there was no official date listed.
Air Ambulance (60465)
Air Ambulance (60465) will bring a sense of urgency to your LEGO City play sessions with its small twin-engine plane—an air ambulance fully equipped to handle the harshest wintery conditions. This 403-piece set adds depth to your winter scenery and storytelling, featuring four minifigures: a pilot, a doctor, a paramedic, and a skier who’s had a bit of bad luck.
A snow scooter is also included, allowing you to rush to the rescue and transport the injured skier to safety. This build fits easily into most winter scenes you might be creating in the LEGO City series. Perhaps you’re designing a remote airport where medical help is urgently needed but hard to come by—or maybe you have an entirely different story in mind.
Retailing for $54.99, the set’s plane includes removable hull and cabin components, so you can look inside and even place a minifig!
Police Garage (60457)
All these epic chases around town with police officers speeding after criminals have taken a toll on their vehicles, and who better to ensure the police cars keep running than Police Garage (60457)?
The set plays out a scene at the repair shop, where a car sits on a turntable with its wheels removed, lifted as mechanics bustle around it. Three minifigs represent the garage crew, making sure police vehicles run smoothly and at full throttle. Meanwhile, a police officer fittingly treats himself to a nearby table laid out with doughnuts, holding a mug of coffee.
The back wall is stocked with wheel rims, tires, and various diagnostic equipment for tackling any problems the vehicle might have. With 489 pieces and a price tag of $54.99, this set makes an excellent addition to your LEGO City collection.
Police Boat Chase (60456)
Police Boat Chase (60456) is a fun and action-packed addition to the LEGO City range, bringing even more excitement to the lineup. The scene sets the stage for a thrilling pursuit: a prisoner is making a break for it on a motorboat, while a shark circles nearby and the coastal police give chase in a sleek, modern twin-engine boat.
One standout feature is that the police boat floats, making it perfect for water-based play. Kids can attach the prisoner’s boat to the police vessel and imagine the moment of capture as the bandit is placed in custody. The included minifigures can be positioned all over the boat, including inside the cabin, where they steer everyone back to the coast.
With 264 pieces and a retail price of $34.99, this set offers solid value and plenty of imaginative play potential.
Police Motorcycle Chase (60455)
Police Motorcycle Chase (60455) is a really small set in the 2025 Summer City collection, but it does add character. In the 65-piece set, you will find a robber minifig on a skate, speeding away from an officer of the law who is atop a bike.
The robber had just heisted the contents of an ATM, and the police officer is set to catch up with him! This set integrates flawlessly with much of the LEGO City scenery and will retail for $9.99.If you’re curious about what else is coming this summer, don’t miss our full previews of the upcoming LEGO Marvel sets and LEGO Harry Potter sets launching on June 1.
