Who Is This Set For?

Gift for Ages 10+

Expanding a City Collection

A solid addition for collectors building out their City shelf. Introduces parts and builds that complement other sets from the same line.

Build Tips

1

A five-minute sort by color or piece type before starting saves time hunting for specific bricks mid-step.

2

Follow the numbered steps in sequence — structural elements early in the build support everything that comes after.

3

For active play sets, key connection points (hinges, turntables, clip joints) can loosen over time — a small dab of LEGO's own tube clutch lubricant on the stud resolves most looseness without damage.
