LEGO City 60471 Arctic Explorer Science Truck Rumoured For June 2025

We are just days away from getting our first look at some of this years LEGO Summer 2025 sets including a brand new wave for the LEGO City theme which celebrates 20 years in circulation. As part of the celebrations, the homgrown LEGO theme will be getting its first Direct to Consumer model of 60473 The City Tower, along with the return of the Artic Explorer subtheme.

One of two sets releasing from this subtheme on the 1st of June 2025 is 60471 Arctic Explorer Science Truck. The 8+ model includes 1,057 pieces retailing for $109.99 / €109.99 / £99.99. As the name suggests, 60471 is a brand new vehicle for the LEGO City theme, recreating a large six wheeled truck continuing with the orange, navy blue and white colour scheme which also appears in 60470 Arctic Explorer Express Train.

The six large wheels will likely utilise some of the existing wheel pieces, used for offraod adventures but this time with lovely white rims to match the snow. The cockpit of the Explorer Science Truck, along with its action-packed interior has plenty of space for Minifigures and various accessories and builds. A telescope is even mounted on top of the cockpit allowing further exporation of the brick-uilt artic scene.

The $110 set also includes a snowmobile, again coloured orange, navy blue and white, along with a brick-built cliff edge. This will likely be very similar to 60470's cliff/scenery build with a boulder being located on top of the cliff along with a small wolf's den underneath where we'll find a wolf and its cub. Four Minifigures are also included of a snowmobile driver, a girl with a camera, a truck driver and another artice explorer crew member.
