LEGO Supplementaries were sets released during the early days of the LEGO system. These sets were designed to supplement and expand upon the building possibilities of existing LEGO sets. Instead of being complete stand-alone models or kits, Supplementaries provided additional bricks, special parts, wheels, windows, doors, gears, or even motors. These sets were especially useful during an era when LEGO's product line was simpler and less specialized than it is today.
1985 LEGO Sets
In 1985, LEGO continued to innovate and diversify its offerings, reinforcing its position in the global toy market. A significant milestone this year was the introduction of the LEGO Paradisa theme, which targeted a broader audience, particularly girls, by focusing on more relaxed, vacation-themed sets with pastel colors and new minifigure designs. Paradisa was one of LEGO's early attempts to cater specifically to female audiences before the introduction of themes like Friends decades later. Additionally, the foundational themes like City and Castle continued to expand with new sets.
