LEGO City set 60072, Demolition Starter Set, depicts a small demolition work scene in the Construction subtheme. Released in 2015, it contains 85 pieces and focuses on a work crew rather than on a large standalone build.

Its subject is a demolition site, a practical urban setting that fits naturally among roadworks, building sites and other service scenes in a LEGO city layout.

The set includes 85 pieces and 4 minifigures. The figure descriptions point to varied safety clothing, helmets and facial details, giving the crew distinct appearances.

This set suits play, compact display scenes and collectors who want more construction workers for LEGO City. Within the Construction range, it is best understood as a small support set, useful for adding people, safety gear and demolition context beside larger building site models.
