The Main Features of LEGO Town Plan
The Movie Theatre
From the cinema building itself to the inside details, this part of the LEGO Town set is simply amazing. The Cinemas exterior is mainly colored in light blue, solid red and tan. Inside, in the middle of the ground floor is the reception adorned with a series of film posters that ran in the 1950s. Also, above the reception counter, there is a huge vertical sign that says CINEMA in bright red letters.
The Town Hall
If you were impressed by the cinema, then you will definitely be even more impressed by the Town Hall.
Consisting of three main parts, the Town Hall is a large and imposing building. It is colored in a shade of dark green and futures a gray colored roof. Furthermore, this magnificent miniature building has a clock positioned above the main entrance and four white columns, two large and two smaller ones framing the clock.
The two side buildings are less high than the main one, and are identical in size and shape. Also, they have classy, white framed windows, which increase the elegance of the building as a whole. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that this ensemble also includes: flowers, a black fence, a street lamp and a city map, as well as an elegant stage for weddings.
The Service Station
The Service Station is essentially composed of two parts meaning two rectangular buildings located on a gray base, with roofs of the same shape connected by a folding brick.
The roof of the Service Station is supported by four pillars placed in the corners of the building. And another cute detail worth mentioning is the tree located in front of the station.
Inside, in the first chamber, there is a storage compartment used for depositing tools. And if you look closely, you can find a box and a tool holder inside.
The second chamber is equipped with a door leading into an office where you are greeted by a man standing behind his little desk. In the same space, you can also find a banana and an apple, but it is up to the buyer of this set to find exactly where.
The Fountain
The fountain base is colored green and the fountain itself is colored gray. Inside, the bricks are blue for a better mimic of the waters real color, and, in the middle of this miniature fountain, there are all 3 gold bricks we mentioned above.
And finally, on the two opposite ends of the fountain, you can find two little charming benches.
The Vehicles
The LEGO Town Hall has two classic cars, one blue and one red. The blue one is used by the groom and bride of the town and the red one is a tanker used to carry fuel to the gas station. This LEGO Town gets extra points, since it is as green as a town can possibly be having only 2 cars.
This amazing LEGO brick set also includes one woman chef, a married groom, a married woman, a theater reception man, one pedestrian, and three service station workers. Also, please keep in mind that all these characters are designed to imitate the people of the 50’s.
Another important detail of this product is that it comes with a number of 1,981 bricks and was intended for 12 years old children and older.
Which Are the Main Advantages and Drawbacks of This Amazing LEGO Product?
One of the first advantages of this set is that the 35 little bags of the LEGO pieces are all numbered.
So, building this miniature town becomes much easier this way.
Secondly, the variety and beauty of the colors, the large number of LEGO pieces, along with the two very clear instruction books of the set, all make this ensemble extremely desirable.
Also, another major point of interest is the letter of the LEGO Company owner towards all costumers, which is written not only in English but also in other languages.
And finally, lets not forget the small details that ultimately make the LEGO Town set look so magical, namely the little mini-figures. Beautifully painted, they offer a certain charm to this amazing LEGO set, due to their amazing resemblance with the people who lived in the 50s.
Now, getting to the drawbacks of the LEGO Town Hall, we have to admit that we could not find any. This miniature town is charming because of its buildings, classic cars, beautiful little people, vibrating colors, the ‘50s vibe, and above all, it is a green town.
