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.
1994 LEGO Sets
In 1994, LEGO expanded global production with the opening of LEGO Mexico, addressing rising worldwide demand. Space introduced two contrasting subthemes: Unitron, featuring monorail transport and exploration craft, and Spyrius, focused on espionage with red-and-black robots and ships. Pirates evolved through the Islanders subtheme, adding new tropical storytelling. The introduction of pink elements expanded LEGO’s color palette and hinted at future inclusivity efforts. These creative and logistical shifts helped define LEGO’s mid-1990s transition toward greater diversity in design and play.
