About 1960 LEGO Sets

1960 was both a turning point and a trial for LEGO. A warehouse fire destroyed most of the company’s wooden toy inventory, prompting a full shift to plastic production and the LEGO System of Play. New Basic sets debuted with distinct box artwork, replacing earlier generic packaging. LEGO Finland and LEGO Netherlands were founded, and marketing efforts expanded sharply with new advertising campaigns, solidifying LEGO’s focus on the brick as its core identity.
