LEGO Town Plan was a theme introduced in 1958 and lasted until 1966 and was under the System i Leg (System of Play) theme. The theme was unveiled at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in February 1955. LEGO Town Plan originally consisted of the existing 700 series LEGO Mursten sets, several new HO 1:87 scale accessories, and a vinyl play mat. However, over the next several years the system was expanded with both new building sets.
1959 LEGO Sets
In 1959 LEGO began a stronger international push beyond Denmark and its Scandinavian neighbors with LEGO being sold in Switzerland, France, Finland and the United Kingdom for the first time. In addition, LEGO France, British LEGO Ltd., LEGO Belgium and LEGO Sweden were established. As for new sets being produced, 1959 proved more of a lighter year with just a few new sets in production.
