About LEGO Town Accessories

Town Accessories are the packs that filled out a LEGO Town layout between 1978 and 2002, with no building of their own. Road plates make up the largest part. They came as pairs of 32x32 baseplates printed as straight, curved, T-junction or crossroad sections, and were reissued several times up to 2002. Minifigure packs are the other staple, such as 6308 Policemen (1982), 6307 Firemen (1983) and 6309 Town Minifigures (1988), which has a mechanic, a police officer, a doctor, a firefighter and an aircraft controller. The rest are road signs, trees, flowers, flags and fences.
1978 LEGO Sets
1978 was transformative: the modern minifigure arrived with articulated limbs and standardized proportions, becoming the heart of LEGO play. Three pillars launched in force—Town, Space, and Castle—bringing buses and services to city streets, astronauts and bases to the cosmos, and knights and keeps to medieval scenes.
