About Factory
2005: city scenes
The first three sets appeared in 2005 and all took an urban view. Skyline (5526-1) is by far the largest set in the theme at 2,792 pieces. Amusement Park (5525-1) follows with 1,339 pieces and Airport (5524-1) with 606.
2007 and 2008
Later sets moved in different directions. Hobby Train (10183-1) from 2007 has 1,080 pieces and is aimed at railway builders. In 2008 two space sets arrived, Space Skulls (10192-1) with 957 pieces and Star Justice (10191-1) with 893, together with Custom Car Garage (10200-1) at 894 pieces. Every set in the theme is well above average in size, so none of them is a quick build.
Rebuilding a Factory model
Because the theme is small, it is easy to see at a glance which models you might want. Each set page lists all parts and colours needed, which helps if you are sourcing pieces for one of the larger builds. With “What can I build?” you can also check how much of Skyline or Hobby Train your existing collection already covers.
