About LEGO Town

LEGO Town was one of the LEGO Group's core themes which was based on town life and included sets such as emergency services like police and fire and civilian sets such as cars. LEGO Town incorporates many subthemes, which focus on a specific area of Town such as airport, artic, city, divers, flight, rescue, space and various others.
1980 LEGO Sets
1980 refreshed the 12V Train system with remote-controlled points, signals, lighting, and decouplers, creating one of LEGO’s most sophisticated play ecosystems. Classic Space continued its rapid growth with larger craft, bases, and color-varied astronauts. Expert Builder (the forerunner to Technic) advanced functional builds with more gears and linkages, while LEGO Dacta was established to bring learning-through-play into classrooms.
