About LEGO City Construction

Construction is the LEGO City subtheme for building sites, road works and the machines that go with them, almost all in the bright yellow LEGO has used for work vehicles since the Town theme. It was there from the first City year in 2005, when 7249 XXL Mobile Crane and 7243 Construction Site led the range.
2008 LEGO Sets
2008 celebrated two milestones: the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick and the 30th anniversary of the minifigure. LEGO Cuusoo (later LEGO Ideas) launched in Japan, paving the way for fan-designed sets. Indiana Jones joined Star Wars as LEGO’s second Lucasfilm theme, and Speed Racer appeared briefly alongside it. In-house lines included Agents and the debut of LEGO Architecture, aimed at adult collectors. The Green Grocer (10185) further elevated the Modular Buildings line, confirming its status among LEGO’s most prestigious collections.
