Themes
Lego City has had various themes over the years since 2005. Here is a list of all the themes and the sets from early 2005 to late 2016.
History
The City theme traces its origins to Lego Town, a theme introduced with the first minifigures in 1978.
Since its introduction, different subthemes under the City banner were used to tie together related sets, such as Police, Coast Guard, Emergency, Airport, Road Rescue, Trains, Fire, and Harbor. During the Christmas season, a City-themed Advent Calendar set is sold through the online Lego Shop and at retailers.
Video games
A video game developed by TT Fusion called Lego City Undercover was released for the Wii U on March 18, 2013; a port of the game is currently scheduled for release in 2017 on Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A prequel to the game was also released for the Nintendo 3DS on April 31, 2013. Lego City content, based on Lego City Undercover, is currently planned for the toys-to-life video game Lego Dimensions. A "fun pack" containing a Chase McCain minifigure and a constructible Police Helicopter is scheduled for release on May 9, 2017.
TV Series/Webisodes
Short 2-5 minute films produced by M2 Films and Lego were released on the Lego website in 2011. New films are released every year.
