The core Road Plate set is designed to jumpstart your new road plate collection. The back of the box shows how modular the system can be, creating a straight road or a variety of intersections. Two large callouts are present on the box; Glow in the Dark, and Road Plates Included, the latter of which is fairly obvious but keeps the starter set in li...
LEGO introduced the classic baseplate in the early 60s, and baseplates with smoothed out sections for roads followed not long after. Baseplates offered a few advantages; they were pre-built so you could plop one down and immediately start constructing your city on it. Baseplates also provided a sturdy foundation for your creations, letting you move...

Although I’m not doing a full review of the three other City sets I used for this article, there are a few things that I feel are worthy of mentioning before I wrap this up. Greater inclusivity: LEGO has been making great strides at representing differently-abled people of all stripes with City minifigures, such as the commuter wearing a hearing ai...
The new road plate system is long overdue and is a welcome addition to LEGO City. If they continue to be regularly added into City sets, you’ll quickly amass enough of them to build a great layout, even if you don’t get any starter packs. The system is versatile, looks great, and perhaps most importantly, is much closer to the core LEGO building ex...
