LEGO 2004 / Explore / Together Sets

The LEGO Explore Together theme is a segment of the LEGO Explore line, designed specifically for younger children. This theme provides sets that focus on everyday scenarios, community roles, and simple structures, emphasizing cooperative play and real-world connections. With larger, child-friendly pieces, the sets aim to promote basic building skills and understanding of common social settings, allowing children to construct and engage in play scenarios based on familiar environments and situations.

2004 LEGO Sets

2004 was a shakeup year at LEGO, coming off of 2003 with record losses. Some significant events include the release of the QUATRO System for very young children, and most notably the replacement of many long-standing LEGO colors including gray, dark gray, brown and violet and the introduction of some new colors like light nougat which ultimately became the skin tone for many minifigures. In 2004, The LEGO Group created a partnership with Ferrari and a number of LEGO Ferrari sets were released that year based on Ferrari’s Formula 1 racing cars. New themes released in 2004 included Maersk, Knight's Kingdom II and Ferrari under the Racers theme. LEGO discontinued the Adventurers Orient Expedition, the original Spider-Man theme, LEGO World City and Gravity Games.
