About LEGO Town Shops and Services
Shops and Services holds the shops, garages and petrol stations of LEGO Town from 1980 to 2003. 6390 Main Street opened the line in 1980, a row of shops with 8 minifigures, and garages, car repair shops and service stations made up much of the rest, often with Shell logos in Europe and Exxon in North America until LEGO's own Octan brand replaced them. Food arrived with 6683 Hamburger Stand in 1983, 6376 Breezeway Cafe in 1990 and 6350 Pizza To Go in 1994.
1981 LEGO Sets
1981 strengthened the bridge from DUPLO to System through Fabuland, featuring animal characters and story-led builds. Town expanded urban life with new services and vehicles, Space continued its exploration motif with larger craft and surface equipment, and 12V Trains saw ongoing refinements for more sophisticated layouts.
