Lego city has been around since 1978 but you may know it by previous names, Legoland, Lego Town or Lego World City. There are over 100 Lego City sets to collect. We break the top LEGO City sets down for you into the eight Lego city sub‑themes. Here is the ultimate review for children to choose, collect and play Lego City blocks and sets.

The eight sub themes are Fire, Police, Town, Construction, Airport, Trains, Harbor and Farm. In 2011 we welcomed the Lego City Space theme. Looking for the perfect gift for your child's birthday, Christmas or simply an achievement reward LEGO City building sets are ideal. Combines fun and creativity for a great learning and self esteem boost for children. Perfect for sibling, friends and parents interaction. I am sure we all have fond memories of LEGO, share that joy with your children.

Lego has come a long way since we were kids from colored building blocks. We have seen the evolution od themes, different shapes, replicas and sets with moving parts and remote controls.

Lego City has evolved from Lego town, LegoLand and Lego World City. The Lego City theme was redesigned in 2004 and released to the public in 2005. The first Lego City was the Airport. Lego City sub themes are police, trains, fire, airport, harbor, town, construction and farm with space relaunched in 2011. There are also the very popular Lego seasonal Advent Calendars.

Kids love LEGO and they love playing cops and robbers. There is no surprise that the Lego City Police Station is one of the favorite toys for children around the world. In the LEGO city theme there is the Police headquarters, Police Station and Police command center to keep our little Lego builders happy. The Lego City Police station is one of the top birthday gifts for children in 2014. Like the LEGO City Fire Station there are lots of positive role play attributes, on top of plain good old fun.
