look upon how you translate it , LEGO City can be anything from a virtual Zion full of literal shiny , happy people , or a incubus .
I mean , it very much come out to be this pastoral , charming , idyllic state , full of smile people – and of course , you’re able to work it to be however you desire ! Everything really is awesome .
Yet at the same time , any AFOL who shops for City sets is shrewdly cognizant of the overwhelming preponderance of firefighters and fuzz ( to appeal to kids with action - orient slices of daily life ) , so it can really seem like this happyfunland is actually some sort of apocalyptical , criminal offense - tantalize , catastrophe - plagued Bad Lands , where everything is constantly either being robbed or on fire .
