LEGO Bricktober Town Hall (40183)

About This Set

In October 2014, Toys R Us shoppers could take home a modular building as a thank-you for a weekly shop. Bricktober Town Hall (40183) was the fourth and final of that year's Bricktober mini modulars: a micro-scale town hall built on a 6x8 plate, given away free with qualifying purchases in the last week of October 2014 and afterwards sold on its own at Toys R Us for $19.99.

Despite its size, the Town Hall speaks the language of the full-scale Modular Buildings range — a proud civic façade, layered rooflines and tiny street details, all compressed into 186 pieces. It is an original design rather than a shrunken copy of the large 10224 Town Hall, and it comes with two micro vehicles, including a double-decker bus, to animate the street in front of it. Like its three companions, the Theater (40180), Pizza Place (40181) and Fire Station (40182), it connects to its neighbours with Technic pins, so the four weekly releases line up into a miniature modular street. The idea proved popular enough that four more Bricktober buildings followed in 2015, built to extend the same street.

There are no minifigures; at this scale the buildings are the characters. As a shelf companion to a modular collection, or a small monument to a much-missed toy shop promotion, the Town Hall earns its place.

Theme Background

Bricktober was the annual October LEGO promotion run by Toys R Us, and the 2014 edition introduced a new idea: exclusive mini modular buildings, echoing LEGO's own 10230 Mini Modulars at an even smaller scale, released one per week through the month. The Town Hall closed the 2014 set of four. The format returned in 2015 with a hotel, train station, bakery and a miniature Toys R Us store, designed to connect to the 2014 street. The Bricktober buildings remain a distinctive footnote in modular history — a whole tiny city district given away a week at a time.
