Otherwise, the entire COLLECTIBLES industry is inherently predatory - and a single Hot Toys figure costs as much as a flagship Creator Expert set, and are FAR more limited in quantity. LEGO like to use the latest colours and as you can see from the images above the trending colour is florescent yellow, or ‘ toxic‘ yellow as the community have unofficially dubbed it. Add this to the soft tones of teal, grey and white, you have yourself a rather fetching and instantly identifiable Ambulance vehicle. there is something good about this side-build though and that’s the classic style Tree element. We hardly see these in sets nowadays so this is highly welcomed.

LEGO 40582 City 4x4 Off-Road Ambulance Rescue Limited Edition

I don't like the ambulance lineup for this year. the colour scheme White - Neon Yellow - Teal is a bit uncommon for emergency services. In Europe the majority of ambulances is predominantly yellow or white. The LEGO City Medical theme, a subtheme of the LEGO City line, revolves around the healthcare sector of the city. Introduced in various years, this theme offers sets that depict hospitals, ambulances, medical helicopters, and healthcare professionals. The newsletter I received this morning mentioned that there would be double VIP points from 10 to 16 February. I really like the LEGO City vehicles, both the 4×4 Off-Road Ambulance and the Police Dog Training (60369) jeep have great body shapes and suit the off-road style well. However the Ambulance in this set has more playability with an opening boot area and a place inside for all three Minifigures, even though one needs to fully standup to fit!Fun features for realistic rescue action – The 4x4 ambulance includes a removable stretcher and roof rails for carrying the included toy mountain bike No idea why this should need to be a GWP, but I have long given up trying understand the reasoning behind most of TLG's decisions. Again the florescent yellow is present on their uniforms and being almost reflective in nature adds to the whole look of a paramedic. On the reverse is more of the same, although the addition of the LEGO Hospital logo is a nice touch. This is definitely a predatory business practice and is employed by so many companies, and especially Triple A Video Game companies, with limit time cosmetics and exclusives. Why so much hate? It's not a predatory practice - it's an incentive to shop at LEGO stores. More often than not, most LEGO sets can be bought with easily 10-20% discount at other retailers. LEGO normally doesn't offer those discounts not to compete with their own partners. So you have GWP instead. And if you're offended with price thresholds - go to the secondary market. There are plenty of those GWPs available right after the release. "

It preys on the neurodivergent, especially those with a need to complete collections or just can't resist something before it's gone forever. Lovely set to get with double-points. Maybe it's time to finally buy the Lion's Castle as I'll need to start saving for the Orient Express." Toy 4x4 ambulance for off-road rescue adventures – LEGO® City 4x4 Off-Road Ambulance Rescue (40582) playset for kids aged 6 and up toy ambulance for off-road rescue adventures - LEGO® City 4x4 Terrain Ambulance Rescue (40582) playset for children 6 years and upKids can get off the beaten path for heroic rescue adventures with this LEGO® City 4x4 Terrain Ambulance Rescue (40582) play set, which includes a tough toy ambulance, a mountain bike and a setting with an unpaved surface. Add the cyclist and 2 minifigures of rescue workers for hours of imaginative playtime fun. Scope - While GWP marketing tactics may hit some folks harder than others, it’s a far cry from some mobile games who base entire business models off a core 1%-5% of players that end up subsidizing the game for the rest of the audience, especially in “free to play” titles. The GWP is now listed on the official online store too ready for the deal to go live, revealing a suite of images. Vehicle and Minifigures are cool and offer something new to the LEGO City theme. If you have a Cityscape then even better, add an off-road Ambulance into the mix! It's the exact same thing as lootboxes and people with gambling issues. It is a predatory practice that targets the already vulnerable."

The second bag adds the accident prone third Minifigure into the mix along with the rest of the vehicle. So there are things you want but for some reason can't buy. Unless those things are food, water and medicin, deal with it. That's life. As the Rolling Stones put it 54 years ago: You Can't Always Get What You Want. An underrated part in this set is definitely the Mountain bike, being a smart navy blue colour, it’ll spot into anyone’s collection and MOCs with ease. I personally like a good LEGO bike.Self-described nerd for hire, I write about all the very best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win some, you lose some. Artificial scarcity - Digital assets cost virtually nothing to duplicate once created, so game companies COULD make every item/skin/etc available to all players for the same price in perpetuity. In this case, the limitations exist SOLELY to boost sales.
