Build My City Accessory Set

The LEGO City Build My City Accessory Set, released in 2017, was designed as an expansion pack for the broader LEGO City theme. It serves as a utility kit, providing modular urban elements like street signs, a park bench, a bicycle, and a small fountain, which were intended to help builders populate and bring life to their existing city layouts. The set reflects LEGO’s move during the mid-2010s to offer more granular, lifestyle-focused accessories that moved beyond vehicles and buildings to focus on the small details of municipal infrastructure.

This set was conceptualized by LEGO designers to offer a high level of versatility within the City theme, acting as a bridge between specialized playsets. By including generic urban fixtures rather than a narrative-driven structure, the designers provided collectors with the flexibility to customize their own dioramas. Upon its release, it was well-received by the adult fan community for its focus on 'city filler' pieces, which were seen as a cost-effective way to add realism to expansive urban scenes without requiring the purchase of larger, more expensive building sets.
