Description

Made for the classroom

The Dacta range was aimed at schools and educational institutions rather than ordinary toy shops. This set belongs to its Town strand and puts people in different community jobs at the centre. So it is less about a single building and more about the figures themselves. At 220 pieces it is small in scope but unusually rich in people. That is exactly what appeals to collectors who enjoy the odd corners of the brand and like to hunt for sets outside the well-known lines.

Thirty minifigures at once

Thirty minifigures from only 220 pieces is a striking ratio. Most of the contents are figure parts, with the rest supplying accessories. If you want to populate a town scene with plenty of residents, this is a convenient source. The figures combine freely with the buildings and vehicles from other Town sets. How each job looks can be traced through the parts list, which itemises heads, torsos and legs separately, so you can see exactly what you are getting.

White, black, dark grey and red

The main colours are white, black, dark grey and red. That suits a set built around people, where clothing and equipment set the palette instead of large structures. With 43 different parts the range is manageable, which keeps the parts list quick to read. If you are thinking of buying a used copy, the list lets you check the figures are complete, since small items such as hats or tools are easily lost over the years. The colour split also helps you sort individual figures later by job or clothing.

Where it can lead

Because the set mostly supplies figure parts, it works well as an addition to an existing town. The “What can I build?” tool on this page shows which models your parts allow when combined with these. Whether you sort the figures for display or use them in play scenes is up to you. As a collectable it has its charm, since it shows a lesser-known side of the brand's history. Figure collectors also get many examples in one go, without buying several sets one by one.
