** The 2024 "City Space" sets abandon all pretense of being based on real space vehicles in favor of sci-fi designs, and introduce color-coded spacesuits for the minifigs, essentially becoming a sneaky [[Toys/LEGOSpace Futuron]] revival.

* DorkAge: [[FanNickname Town Jr.]], from the late 90's. The sets were mind-bogglingly simple to build, with buildings made of a few specialized "juniorized" parts, cars with single-piece chassis, printed-on headlights and no doors, and uninspired designs. Thankfully the juniorization has mostly stopped after [[AuthorsSavingThrow LEGO realized its mistakes]].
* EnsembleDarkhorse: [[VideoGame/LEGOCityUndercover Chase McCain]] only appeared in two sets (not counting the promotional polybag and his ''VideoGame/LEGODimensions'' Fun Pack), but he's usually the main selling point of both because of his home game.

** The rescue helicopter set, for as small as it is (literally just being that of a helicopter and 3 minifigurines--not even a heli pad or station), ''handily'' achieved this status after them memes hit.

* CrackIsCheaper: Building a reasonably equipped town, i.e. with all important buildings, has always been quite pricey. Said important buildings such as a police station or a fire station have always been among the biggest and therefore most expensive sets, older sets remain costly (beware if they include parts not found anywhere else), and what's your town worth if you haven't got a hospital yet? And now imagine that you're not an [=AFOL=] earning his own money but a kid relying on presents and pocket money.
