More LEGO City smart brick set rumours begin to emerge

Following the official reveal of the upcoming LEGO smart brick, more details regarding three accompanying City sets are beginning to emerge.

The LEGO Group revealed the first details of its new smart brick this week, with the high-tech element able to interact with tag tiles and minifigures in three upcoming sets. The brick has the ability to add sound, light and movement functionality to models, which will initially be showcased in three LEGO City jungle-themed sets.

We now know that 60691 Jungle Explorer Base Camp will come with the smart brick itself, although the piece is also compatible with 60692 The Lost Crocodile Temple and 60693 Survivor Island Seaplane. The latter two builds are smaller and don’t actually include the interactive element, meaning you’ll have to pick up 60691 Jungle Explorer Base Camp in order to activate features in all three sets.

In addition to those first details, a fresh rumour from Instagram user fateful_lego not only provides potential piece counts for all of the models, but also reveals the alleged names of the trio of minifigures that will be included with 60691 Jungle Explorer Base Camp.

For starters, 60691 Jungle Explorer Base Camp is said to be a 1,019-piece build that’s reported to come with minifigures of Annie Quest, Max Danger and Doc. That would certainly match the look of the three characters shown in official images for the model, which also includes multiple animal figures.

60692 The Lost Crocodile Temple is rumoured to consist of 294-pieces, with a minifigure of Trudy Skorvy, that was revealed yesterday. While we speculated that the character might be a modern Pippin Reed minifigure, that’s apparently now not the case.

Finally, there’s 60693 Survivor Island Seaplane, the smallest of the upcoming LEGO City models that’s said to clock in at just 287-pieces and includes a minifigure of Miles Waei, with the character’s identity confirmed yesterday.

It’s worth noting that the details above regarding piece counts for the sets and the 60691 Jungle Explorer Base Camp minifigure names remain pure speculation for now, until such time as the LEGO Group officially confirms them.

Those in the UK who are interested in testing out the LEGO City sets can do so via a trial program for families, with the technology potentially revolutionising future model releases.
