Description

People rather than buildings

Most sets revolve around vehicles or houses, but this one is about the people who work in a community. With 24 minifigures among just 169 pieces the ratio is unusual: the box consists largely of figures and their accessories. It comes from Educational and Dacta and was made for lessons, where children could get to know occupations, talk about tasks in the community and act out small scenes. For that, the box supplies an unusually large cast in one go.

Few types, many figures

Only 19 different part types are in the set, so many of them appear several times. That fits a box that mainly supplies minifigures in numbers. The main colours of transparent, red, black and brown suit figure parts such as torsos, legs, heads and hats. Exactly which elements are included is shown by the parts list on this page. For collectors the high share of figures is the draw, since a set like this is hardly usual today and is often found only second-hand.

Telling stories, playing

With 24 figures on the table you can tell whole stories: who works where, who helps whom, what a day in town looks like. The figures suit this because they represent different tasks. To build a townscape, though, you need further bricks for houses, streets and vehicles. The set is therefore best seen as an addition to an existing collection, or as a reservoir of figures for scenes of your own, where you add the fitting backdrop yourself.

Checking stock and rebuilding

With the parts list on this page you can see what belongs to the set and check a second-hand copy for completeness. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which other sets your elements could rebuild. Because many parts are figure accessories, the box also appeals to anyone who wants to equip their minifigures with new hats, tools and clothing without buying a whole new set. That also helps with dioramas that need many residents.
