"Everything starts with one small piece." That’s how LEGO CITY was born. Originally launched in 1978 as LEGO Town, this line introduced the first LEGO minifigures alongside a variety of city buildings, vehicles, and services. Whether you were building a police station, firehouse, or construction site, it allowed fans to recreate everyday life in miniature.
What changed when LEGO Town became LEGO CITY?
In 2005, LEGO Town got a fresh rebrand and became LEGO CITY. This shift expanded the range of detailed, realistic models, growing from police stations and fire departments to include airports, trains, and other metropolitan services. As LEGO CITY grew, so did its variety of iconic buildings. But here’s something to think about—while there are plenty of buildings, what about the smaller details that make a city truly feel alive? Things like lamp posts, vendor stalls, foot bridges, hedges, and phone booths can be harder to find.
Why are the small details important for a LEGO city?
Imagine a city without street lamps to light up the roads or a vendor stall on the corner selling wares to your minifigures. How about a park with a serene fountain and lush hedges? These accessories elevate a LEGO CITY from great to amazing. They add charm and character, but unfortunately, they’re not as easy to find as the big buildings. That’s where StudBee can help—providing those finer details that make your city stand out.
How can you elevate your LEGO CITY with accessories?
LEGO offers a fantastic selection of modular buildings, but smaller, less common accessories can give your city that personal touch. Here are some ways to bring more life to your builds:
-
LEGO CITY Police Station: The police station is a staple in any city, but imagine adding lamp posts along the street or a perhaps car charging stations nearby. It’s all about the little details!
-
LEGO CITY Town Center: The town center is the heart of your city. Adding fountains, bridges, street lights, and delivery trucks around the plaza can really enhance the feel. The more details you include, the more alive your city becomes.
-
LEGO CITY Train Station: A busy train station comes to life with benches, vendor booths, and greenery like bushes and trees. Those little additions make a big difference.
Accessories like these transform a simple build into a vibrant, lived-in cityscape. StudBee offers a wide range of options to help fill in the gaps and make your LEGO CITY truly unique.
