Lego City
Encyclopedia
Lego City is a theme under which Lego
building sets are released. As the name suggests, City sets are based on city life, with the models depicting city and emergency services (retired,but remaking) , airport, construction and civilian services.
The "City" theme traces its origins to Lego Town, a theme introduced with the first minifigures in 1978. Since then, town-based models have been marketed under the names "Legoland Town," "Town Junior" and "World City" before the current incarnation was started in 2005. The first set introduced under the "City" name was 10159 Airport (a reissue of the 1994 airport set Century Skyway, with some minor part differences).
Since its introduction, different subthemes under the "City" banner were used to tie together related sets, such as Police, Fire, Trains, Transportation and Construction. During the Christmas season, a City-themed Advent Calendar set is sold through Lego's Shop-at-Home service and at retailers.
Lego City has now released a new 2011 theme called the Space Centre. This set includes the space station, space buggy and satellites.
A video game developed by TT Games
called LEGO City Stories
will be released for the 3DS and the new Wii U in 2012.
