Key Takeaways
- Leaked retailer listings have provided new descriptions for six LEGO City sets reportedly targeting a January 2027 release: sets 60521, 60527, 60530, 60532, 60534, and 60541.
- Set 60527 ($59.99) is the standout — described as an F1 Pit Wall set featuring Williams and Aston Martin cars, four minifigures, screens, and a launcher.
- Set 60530 ($12.99) is a smaller entry featuring a Mercedes-AMG race car and a team-coloured F1 driver minifigure.
- The F1 sets continue LEGO’s existing partnership with Formula 1, with the January 2027 wave also reportedly including separate sets for Alpine/Cadillac and Red Bull/VCARB.
- Set 60532 ($9.99) brings back classic police theme content — a vehicle with a holding cell, a police officer, a thief, and handcuffs.
- Set 60541 ($29.99) combines fire, police, and construction themes with three vehicles and three minifigures.
- These six sets are part of a larger wave of 19 rumoured LEGO City sets for early 2027, first reported in a July leak that disclosed product numbers, names, and prices.
LEGO City’s January waves are usually pretty easy to read — a handful of vehicles, some police and emergency themes, a couple of city life sets. 2027’s January lineup is shaping up to be a bit more interesting than usual, largely because Formula 1 is back in the mix in a serious way. A new leak has filled in some of the blanks on six of the sets, and while the language of the leaked descriptions is rough enough to suggest machine translation from a non-English source, the product details are worth paying attention to.
Where the Leak Comes From
The fresh details come from LEGO leaker carter_bricks04, who posted on October 4 with descriptions reportedly sourced from early listings at an unnamed online retailer. These six sets — 60521, 60527, 60530, 60532, 60534, and 60541 — were already part of a much larger list of 19 LEGO City sets for January 2027 that surfaced in July, but that earlier leak was light on specifics beyond set numbers, rough names, and prices. The new leak fills in vehicle counts, minifigure numbers, and some accessory details for roughly a third of the wave.
One caveat before diving in: the retailer text as transcribed includes some noticeably awkward phrasing — “Boat Racing Car,” “box with screens,” and descriptions like “the police truck and its LEGO City car” — that strongly suggests the source material was translated or adapted from non-English copy that wasn’t finalised marketing language. Set names in particular should not be taken as official until LEGO announces them.
The F1 Sets — 60527 and 60530
The two Formula 1 entries are the most distinctive items in the leaked six. LEGO and Formula 1 have been building out a real partnership across multiple themes, and January 2027 looks set to expand it further with at least four F1-related City sets in the wave — plus separate Speed Champions F1 sets running parallel.
Set 60527 at $59.99 is the headliner. According to the leak, it features Williams and Aston Martin F1 cars, four minifigures, a pit wall element, some form of screen accessory, and what’s described as a launcher. A pit wall playset in the $60 price range would likely make this one of the more display-worthy sets in the City line — comparable in ambition to some of the larger City garage and workshop sets. The piece count for 60527 has been estimated elsewhere at around 528 pieces based on cross-referencing multiple leak sources, which would put it in solid mid-range territory.
Set 60530 at $12.99 is the entry-level F1 pick — an 86-piece set by one estimate, consisting of a single Mercedes-AMG race car and one F1 driver minifigure in team colours. This mirrors the format LEGO has used with earlier small F1 driver sets in the City line, which are designed as low-cost entry points for younger fans or add-on purchases for collectors already buying the bigger sets.
The January 2027 F1 City lineup reportedly doesn’t stop there. Other sets in the wider wave include 60526 (Alpine and Cadillac cars, $19.99), which would mark the first time Cadillac — the newest team on the F1 grid — appears in a LEGO set, and 60528, a larger F1 truck set at $119.99 reportedly featuring Red Bull and VCARB liveries.
The Rest of the Six — Police and Multi-Theme Sets
Set 60521 at $34.99 is described as a 6+ set with two vehicles and two driver minifigures. Based on the July leak, the fuller name appears to be “Race Car vs. Speed Boat” or similar, suggesting a head-to-head vehicle competition format that LEGO City has used before — most notably with the “Stunt” sub-theme sets. The piece count for 60521 is estimated at around 249 pieces.
Set 60532 at $9.99 is firmly in classic City police territory: a vehicle with a built-in holding cell, one police officer minifigure, one thief minifigure, and handcuffs. This format — compact, narrative-driven, accessible price point — is a LEGO City staple that tends to perform well as a gift pick and army-builder for kids who are into the police sub-theme. The July leak had this listed under “Police Car Chase” as a working name.
Set 60534 at $59.99 is described simply as three vehicles and three minifigures with multiple accessories, without much further clarification of its theme. The July leak listed it without a clear name, so this one remains the most opaque of the six.
Set 60541 at $29.99 is the most thematically interesting non-F1 set in the leak. It reportedly combines fire, police, and construction elements into a single package — three vehicles, three minifigures — which suggests a “City Starter Pack” or similar format designed to give new players a cross-section of the City theme rather than focusing on one emergency service. Multi-theme starter sets have been a recurring format in City waves, and $29.99 is a reasonable price point for three vehicles and figures.
The Bigger Picture — A 19-Set January Wave
These six sets are just a slice of what’s reportedly coming. The July 2026 leak from leaker Unibricks/StoneWars listed 19 LEGO City sets for January 2027 in total, with prices ranging from $9.99 at the low end up to $119.99 for the large F1 truck set. The full rumoured wave includes items across the police, F1, everyday City, and potentially space sub-themes, representing one of the larger single-month City drops in recent memory if the full list proves accurate.
LEGO has not officially confirmed any of these products. January 2027 announcements typically begin appearing on LEGO’s official channels in the November-December 2026 window, so official confirmation or revision of these details should come within the next two months. Until then, retailer leaks and insider reports remain the only window into what the wave actually contains — and the awkward translation quality of some of the descriptions suggests that even this latest detail update may have some inaccuracies baked in.
For now, the F1 focus of the leaked sets lines up cleanly with LEGO’s broader strategy around the Formula 1 partnership, which has already expanded into Speed Champions, Minifigures Series, and Editions sets for 2027 alongside the City line. If you’re a fan of the Williams or Aston Martin teams specifically, set 60527 is the one to keep an eye on as official confirmation edges closer.
