Decorate your party with our fabulous Lego City Party Supplies! Lego City History As you probably know, Lego City is the theme name that Lego releases most of its city themed building sets under.
They are based on the various aspects of city life with many of them focusing on emergency responders (such as police, ambulances, doctors, nurses, firemen, etc.) and/or transportation services such as train buildings, airports and others. The history of Lego City can be traced back to 1978 with the introduction of Lego Town. Lego Town happened to be the first theme that introduced Lego’s well-known mini-figures. From there, Lego City stylized themes could be found under names “Town Junior”, “World City” and “Legoland Town”. All of these were wrapped under one name “Lego City” in 2005. The first Lego theme to be introduced under the Lego City name was a reintroduction of an earlier airport set. Today, subthemes like Police, Trains, Construction and otehrs are grouped together in their subcategory under the Lego City umbrella. Lego Design One of the reasons for Lego’s success throughout the years is its design of universal interlocking pieces. Despite the new themes, new pieces and the constant innovations of Legos, the pieces have remained compatible with each other.
Since the modern Lego brick was created in 1958 (Legos date back much further), all pieces should still work together. In other words, you should be able to take your new Lego City set that you just purchased and combine in with your 1958 set with no problems. Legos Make a Great Party! Lego City Party Supplies are another fun way to enjoy you and your child’s love of Legos. If you love Legos, you’ll love decorating your party with these wonderful birthday supplies!Brick by thousands of colorful plastic bricks, the LEGO Train Show at Cantigny Park keeps getting bigger every year. Produced by the Northern Illinois LEGO Train Club, this 14th annual event runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 12 and 13, with more sprawling displays than ever."It now completely takes over the park's visitors center and now has elements at the First Division Museum as well," said Jeff Reiter, senior manager of communications for Cantigny Park and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation. The show is an annual homage to creativity and the beloved interlocking construction toys.
From castles and skyscrapers to superheroes and spaceships, it takes a full day just to set up the huge LEGO dioramas, running trains and original creations."The show is definitely family-friendly, but it appeals to the kid in all of us," Reiter said. "Most of us grew up playing with LEGO, right? So it's easy for all ages to relate to this event, and I'd say that's a big part of its appeal." Last year's two-day show drew 7,700 visitors."Another thing people like is the creativity of the train club — the builders are clever, to say the least, and their sense of humor shows through in the displays," Reiter said. "Every year has a few new elements. People laugh and smile a lot at this event."The show has a few new twists every year, and the 14th year is no exception."These range from large exhibits to subtle changes in setups from the previous year," Reiter said. "That's part of the fun — looking at everything and seeing the creativity and level of detail." New for 2015 is the USS Missouri battleship model that will be on display at the First Division Museum.
Designed and built by Daniel Siskind and courtesy of Brickmania, this behemoth is 26 feet long and made of more than 500,000 pieces.Yes, you read that right, a half-million LEGO bricks.Another new element will fit right in at Cantigny."We are also expecting the LEGO debut of the Robert R. McCormick Museum — the mansion where Colonel McCormick lived here at Cantigny," Reiter said. "It'll be fun to see that too."While the LEGO Train Show is free, parking is $5 per car. However, the parking fee will be waived for anyone bringing an unwrapped gift for the park's Toys for Tots collection drive.If you're looking for a bash devoted to bricks, the LEGO Train Show Party is 6-8 p.m. Dec. 12.
