LEGO 1985 / Town / Shops and Services Sets

LEGO Service and Repair is a Town subtheme which ran from 1980 to 2003 and was centered around car workshops, service stations, shops and stores. In total, it contained 27 sets and was later replaced by the City theme.

1985 LEGO Sets

In 1985, LEGO continued to innovate and diversify its offerings, reinforcing its position in the global toy market. A significant milestone this year was the introduction of the LEGO Paradisa theme, which targeted a broader audience, particularly girls, by focusing on more relaxed, vacation-themed sets with pastel colors and new minifigure designs. Paradisa was one of LEGO's early attempts to cater specifically to female audiences before the introduction of themes like Friends decades later. Additionally, the foundational themes like City and Castle continued to expand with new sets.
