Set the scene: Bring the LEGO® City Adventures TV series to life with the new LEGO® City Main Square set

Billund, 12th August 2020: Families can now bring the excitement and buzz from city life into the comfort of their own homes - as The LEGO® Group launches the brand-new LEGO® City Main Square set. Designed for the whole family to build and re-build together, this latest product is the ultimate set in the entertaining world of LEGO® City and is perfect for helping young builders to become master builders.

Budding builders can truly immerse themselves in the LEGO® City world and enjoy endless hours of imaginative play, with this brand-new 1,517-piece set. Whether it’s a visit to City Hall, a quick journey on the Tram, enjoying a bite to eat at the Classic Diner or singing your heart out on the Concert Stage - LEGO® City Main Square’s collection of detailed buildings and realistic toy vehicles provide everything inspiring builders need to experience the energy of day-to-day city life.

With 14 awesome minifigures, LEGO® City Main Square is also buzzing with much-loved LEGO® City Adventures characters. With Poppy Starr performing on stage, Billy throwing a party at the City Square and Duke DeTain searching for Snake Rattler and his grappling hook after a City Hall break-in, LEGO® City Main Square allows young builders and families to dive straight into the LEGO® City Adventures TV series and re-create their favourite scenes (including the popular ‘Slam the Door’ episode - which can be viewed here).

As it only requires basic building skills, LEGO® City Main Square is the perfect set for families to get creative with and let their imaginations run wild, as they build and re-build together. However, for those who would like a little extra help, The LEGO® City Main Square playset also comes complete with ‘Instructions PLUS’ – an interactive building guide that helps budding builders on their journey to becoming master builders! Available as part of the free LEGO® Building Instructions app for smart devices, ‘Instructions PLUS’ includes a special zoom and rotate feature to help young builders visualise as they build – helping bring their creations to life.

If ever families feel they need to take a break from city life, the impressive City Hall building, measuring over 12” (32cm) high, 10” (27cm) wide and 5” (15cm) deep, and the intricate Tram build, which measures over 4" (12cm) high, 14" (37cm) long and 1" (5cm) wide, both make impressive display pieces, as well as a fond reminders of the quality time spent together.

The new LEGO® City Main Square set is the latest example of how the LEGO Group aims to help children to create a realistic LEGO world and to inspire the process of co-building. The LEGO Group has a range of LEGO® City sets to help children explore and stimulate their creativity, including the new LEGO® City Ocean Exploration Ship and LEGO® City Passenger Airplane sets.

LEGO® City Main Square will be available directly via LEGO.com and LEGO Stores from the 1st of September.
