Description

Four residents for your town

The focus is on the 4 minifigures, supported by accessories built from the remaining pieces. That makes the set less about constructing a house and more about populating a town you already have. If you own a City baseplate or a station, you can always use more people who live, work or serve there. For children, figures are often the most important part of a play world, and this set delivers exactly that cast.

Grey, black and reddish brown

Light bluish grey and black dominate, with reddish brown and red alongside. That suits a townscape of streets, vehicles and tools. The 60 pieces are spread over 26 different types, a fairly varied mix for the size. The blend of figure parts and small bricks also works for adding detail to existing scenes, such as small objects at the roadside or a workplace, which gives a scene a lived-in feel.

Play or collect

Minifigure collections appeal to two groups: children who want new characters to play with, and collectors completing their figure stock. Since the set dates from 2009, it is a little piece of City history for longtime fans. You can seat the figures in vehicles, place them on a layout or show them in a small display case behind glass. How you use them is entirely up to you, and nothing stops you from mixing them with other themes.

Check it is complete

The parts list on this page shows all 60 pieces with their colours, a useful aid when buying second-hand, because figure sets often lose small accessories such as tools and headwear. With the “What can I build?” tool you can also see which other sets your collection could make with these parts. That makes even a small figure set worthwhile, since its pieces fit into so many other projects. Pay particular attention to heads, torsos, legs and accessories, which are the parts most often missing.
