On June 22, 2019, Lego City Adventures aired on Nickelodeon during a Saturday morning lineup along with SpongeBob SquarePants. During the Christmas season, a City-themed advent calendar set is sold through the online Lego Shop and at retailers. Eventually, different subthemes under the 'Town' brand were used to tie together related sets, such as police, coast guard, emergency services, airport, road rescue, trains, fire, and harbour.

By 1983, the remaining vehicle based sets that were not minifigure compatible had been discontinued.Īll sets were originally released under the 'Legoland' label until it was discontinued and replaced with 'Lego System' branding in 1991. In 1980, the Trains theme was completely revamped to complement the Town sets. This continued with the new minifigures, for some of the sets in its early years. Through the mid-1970s Town sets had buildings and vehicles functioning more as models, with minifigures unable to ride the vehicles. In 1975, a precursor to the minifigure was introduced, in the same scale but without moving parts. The Lego City theme traces its origins to Lego Town, a theme introduced with the first minifigures in 1978, when a completely new range of buildings and vehicles were introduced for the European markets, although Lego sets with city buildings and vehicles had been commonplace since the late 1960s.
