In the clip, we also see Adam Reed Tucker, David Robertson, and fellow San Diegan Bruno Todd talk about the sets as well. It looks to be a pretty exciting episode and I can’t wait to watch it.

In a nice surprise, Amazon has listed a previously unknown summer 2018 LEGO City set with the Capital (60200). The details regarding the pricing and piece count are not known at this time but it looks to be in the scale of the previous large-scale City sets like the Town Square and City Square (60097). Included in this set are thirteen minifigures, a double-decker bus, a four-wheel crane, and some smaller vehicles. There’s also a mobile ice cream cart along with a standalone hot dog stand as well.
