Description

A classroom building kit

Educational and Dacta was the arm of LEGO® that supplied bricks to schools and nurseries. This set falls under the Town theme and was meant to help children rebuild their surroundings: houses, streets and the people who live there. At 642 pieces there is enough stock for several groups building and telling stories together. Unlike many play sets, there is no single main model, just material that can be combined freely.

Eight figures, plenty of variety

The eight minifigures stand out, as that is a generous number for a set of this size. They come with 73 different part types, mostly wall, roof and window pieces in red, yellow, white and blue. The strong primary colours suit the aim that even young children can see at once what they are holding. For collectors, the mix is of interest because it contains typical building elements of the mid-eighties town ranges.

Free building instead of a plan

The appeal lies in open-ended building. Whoever works with the set decides whether a house, a petrol station or a playground comes first. That encourages agreement within a group and can be expanded with your own bricks as far as you like. On this page you can see the complete parts list and judge which elements are useful for your own street scenes. The What can I build? tool shows models that your collection makes possible.

Collectors and teachers

Today sets like this mostly attract people who collect eighties educational material on purpose, or who want many minifigures and town parts in one go. As a display piece it is less striking than a finished model, but it offers a lot of building for the money. When buying a second-hand copy, check that all the figures and special parts are present before you commit to it, since classroom sets often lose pieces over the years.
