Description

Several buildings rather than one centrepiece

Instead of a single large structure, the set is made up of several smaller buildings around a central square, including houses, shops and market stalls. This modular layout allows the individual pieces to be rearranged freely or combined with other City sets, rather than sticking to one fixed layout. Fifteen minifigures are included, an unusually large population for a City set, enough to support several everyday scenes running at once. Road plates and pathway pieces tie the buildings together into one connected square, letting minifigures move between stations to act out everyday scenes such as shopping or craft work.

Grey and tan for a city colour scheme

Dark bluish grey, light bluish grey and black form the base colours of the buildings and streets, while tan provides a warmer contrast on facades and details. This relatively restrained colour choice produces a realistic city look rather than a bold themed appearance. With 456 unique parts, the set offers plenty of shape variety, with the exact colour breakdown listed in the parts list on this page. Paired with other City sets, this restrained colour choice helps different building sections look consistent side by side instead of clashing visually.

A set for city scenes and collectors

Spreading 1,517 pieces across fifteen minifigures puts the focus firmly on figure variety and small scenes rather than one imposing structure. That makes Main Square especially useful for builders looking to expand or fill out an existing LEGO city. The individual buildings also combine well with other City sets to form larger cityscapes. For families or building groups, the large minifigure count also gives enough material to involve several people at once in both the build and the play that follows.

Parts for other city projects

The wide range of grey and tan building parts also makes Main Square a useful parts source for other city buildings beyond the original layout. Windows, facade elements and street pieces lift easily out of their original setting and work well in other models. The full parts list on this page records every element by colour and quantity. Individual stalls or smaller building sections can also be lifted out and worked into other city projects on their own, without needing to adopt the whole layout.
