In 1995 LEGO released 10 Dacta sets across 2 subthemes. The largest Dacta set from 1995 was
9609 Technology Resource Set with a piece count of 1718. The current estimated value of all these Dacta sets from this year is about $2,013.00.
Dacta was an original LEGO theme from 1960 to 2003 that deals with all things that can be used with educational facilities, such as DUPLO and TECHNIC. Dacta was later replaced by the LEGO Education theme. Sets in the Dacta product line were exclusively developed for usage in younger aged schools so the sets typically contain a large amount of pieces for playing and learning in groups. The sets were designed to contain a higher number of bricks and elements at a lower cost.
1995 LEGO Sets
In 1995, LEGO celebrated its rich heritage with the company's 60th anniversary and the LEGO brick's 40th anniversary. However, despite these milestones, the mid-90s marked a time of introspection for LEGO as the toy market's dynamics were shifting. The year saw the introduction of the LEGO Technic CyberMaster series, which combined traditional building with computer technology, hinting at LEGO's future direction towards integrating tech with bricks. Additionally, LEGO faced challenges with increasing competition and needed to evolve its product range, foreshadowing significant changes and innovations in the coming years.
