Steven,
Speaking of Lime Green Fire Engines, I’d love to see one from TLG too. But
until they make one, you can check out this pic of my Lime Green Fire
Engine. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3275744

There are lots of
departments that have lime fire trucks, but Lego hasn’t given us the parts
to make them. In addition, almost all
airport fire departments have their rigs in lime.
Based on my conversations with other builders, I put together a list of parts
that aren’t available.
1) Lime doors. Including
car doors and
lift doors.
2) A better ladder piece.
The current ladders from Lego work great as ground ladders, but there hasn’t
been a piece that works well as an
aerial ladder
Megablocks makes one, but
it’s too large and I would never buy their brand.
3) Minifig hazmat suits
I think a rescue hazmat set with a rescue truck and minifigs would sell VERY
well.
4) Flat windscreens in
6-wide. (Long been a problem for fire truck builders)
5) Please re-release this
part in red. It’s going for as much as $20 on Bricklink.
Lego fire builders represent one on the larger sub-groups here and on
Brickshelf. And Lego fire sets consistently show up on Lego Shop and Home’s
top 25 sellers list.
Thanks for your consideration!

The 2012 fire set
photos have now been widely distributed.
I know some people will groan at yet another line of city fire sets, but keep in
mind that kids are the target audience, and these sets sell well.
However, Lego put some long-awaited goodies in these sets that AFOLs have been
asking for.
- New ladder piece!
- Printed fireman legs
- Fire chief minifig
Thank you, TLC, for these. Can’t wait for these sets to be released.
