“The set represents early LEGO Town designs with minimalistic builds and simplicity, reflecting the style of LEGO sets from that era.”
BrickEconomy Member Review
“This early LEGO Town set features a simple yet iconic design, showcasing the beginnings of the minifigure era. While the car isn’t scaled to fit figures, it includes a printed "Taxi" piece and a minifigure, highlighting LEGO's early focus on creative play and thematic builds. A great example of the evolution of LEGO design in the late 1970s.”
 

About Town Classic

The LEGO Town Classic theme, active from 1978 to 1981, introduced foundational sets that established the urban layout concept in the LEGO world. Notable sets include 1592 Town Square Castle Scene, which combined medieval and modern elements, and 381-2 Police Headquarters, a prominent city infrastructure piece. The 379 Bus Station provided public transport centrality, while 600-2 Police Car offered essential city law enforcement. These sets, among others, played a critical role in defining the classic LEGO town aesthetic.

Classic consists of 45 sets that ran from 1978 to 1981. As of today, 1592 Town Square Castle Scene is the most valuable Classic set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $2,256.
