This is the second set in what will hopefully become a trend for LEGO City. The first was Fun in the Park - City People Pack #60134. This one is Fun at the Beach. It was released on 29 May 2017 for $39.99 in the US. With 169 pieces it works out to $0.237 per piece. That's a bit high, but when you consider that it's a minifig set it's not as bad. It includes 15 minifigs so that works out to $2.67 per minifig which is cheaper than any of the Collectible Minifigure Series sets offered. I picked my set up on Amazon.com for 20% off or $31.99 ($0.189 per piece and $2.13 per minifig). Onto the set... The box front shows all of the set and the back shows all of the 15 minifigs with their hair, faces, torsos, and legs.
Here are the contents:
-2 parts bags
-a kayak
-2 sails
-2 folded up instruction booklets
Bag 1 is half of the set. It includes the following:
First up is a kayaker with a red kayak. It also includes a wind surfer and a dolphin. The wind surfer comes with 2 sails. It doesn't seem like a part that would break easily, but it can't hurt to have 2.
It also includes a sun bather in a recliner with an umbrella. She has a camera, but I think it needs a beverage for her to sip on. It also includes a male and female with a volleyball and a volleyball net.
This bag also includes a girl who has built a sand castle. She has a shovel and pail and the sand castle has a red flag on it. Also there's a man with a metal detector who has some gold pieces he can find. As a kid, I remember the metal detectors from Classic Space, M-Tron and others. The old versions had a stud and hole in the middle of the sensor part. So this one is somewhat the same except for that part. The original version can be seen here.
Onto bag 2...
First up is a boy/teenager on a hammock. He has a smart phone which I think is a new piece for the LEGO universe. It also has some plants where the hammock is hung up on for shade.
Next up the beach cleaner with his broom, trash can, and obligatory banana to clean up.
Next up is a kid in a tank top and shorts. He has an old school boom box with a cassette tape player. Do kids these days even know what that is?
And then there's the mean lifeguard. Come on... I know you've been to the beach or a public pool and the lifeguard was some pissed off teenager or 20-something who just yelled all day long. No running! No diving! No having any fun at all! Well here he is with a parrot, megaphone, and binoculars to spot kids having too much fun.
Here we have a girl, her dog, her Mom/Grandma/Aunt/cool older neighbor/LEGO woman carrying a $100 bill buying some ice cream from the vendor on the beach. Only one flavor... white balls of iced plastic. Looks yummy!
Last up, the scuba diver (tank-less) with a helmet, mask, and flippers. He has a fish and lobster to dive with too.
If you're looking to build a beach scene, this is a great set to help populate your scenario. I recommend it... especially if you can pick it up at a discount from Amazon.com or elsewhere. I'm a fan of having people packs for LEGO City. They've done it for Star Wars and Ninjago and I'm glad to see it for City. Back in the day, I recall that they used to do City people packs with fire fighters, policemen, and workers. I'm hoping this becomes a yearly trend. What would you like to see them do next year?
