Traffic is the everyday side of LEGO City, the cars, trucks and service vehicles of ordinary city life, and it started in 2007 with working vehicles such as a cement mixer, a recycling truck and a heavy hauler. Garbage trucks, tow trucks, car transporters and campers come back every few years, and food trucks have become a habit, from pizza vans to an ice-cream truck. The road itself changed in 2021, when 60304 Road Plates brought in snap-together road plates that took over from the printed road baseplates LEGO had made for decades. LEGO's own delivery vans and trucks have also turned up as sets, in the company's red and yellow colours.
2022 LEGO Sets
In 2022, LEGO celebrated its 90th anniversary, marking nearly a century of creativity and innovation. Special tribute sets revived beloved classics like Castle and Space with modern techniques, delighting longtime fans. LEGO Avatar launched alongside the release of Avatar: The Way of Water, bringing Pandora’s world to life in brick form, while the LEGO BrickHeadz line broadened with more licensed characters. Core themes such as Star Wars, City, and Technic continued to perform strongly. Sustainability milestones included expanding the use of recycled plastics in elements and packaging, underscoring LEGO’s enduring commitment to environmental responsibility.
