The LEGOLAND Vehicle theme is a subset of the broader LEGOLAND line from the 1970s and 1980s. This specific theme concentrated on various vehicles, from cars and trucks to boats and airplanes. Using a more simplistic design approach characteristic of that era, the sets aimed to recreate everyday transportation modes.
1977 LEGO Sets
In 1977, LEGO released several new sets and themes, including the LEGO City theme, which introduced models of city life such as houses, stores, and vehicles. 1977 was also the year that LEGO introduced the LEGO System, which was a standardized system of bricks and connectors that allowed for more flexible and versatile building. The LEGO System included a wide range of bricks in different colors and sizes, as well as new elements such as windows, doors, and roofs. Other notable sets and themes released by LEGO in 1977 included the LEGO Space theme, which introduced new models of spaceships and alien minifigures, and the LEGO Castle theme, which expanded upon the castle sets released in previous years.
