About LEGO Samsonite Basic Set

Samsonite was an American manufacturer of LEGO sets which introduced the very first USA LEGO catalog for Christmas of 1961. LEGO and Samsonite created a partnership to produce and sell LEGO in the US. The result was a 9-year license for exclusive North American distribution rights. Samsonite began marketing sets under the name LEGO by Samsonite in the US in 1961 and Canada in 1962.

1966 LEGO Sets

1966 was another landmark year for LEGO, with international expansion reaching an all-time high—LEGO products were now sold in 42 countries. This year also marked the official launch of the LEGO Train theme, a major milestone in the company's history. With the development of an improved 4.5V electric motor and housing, thanks to the efforts of LEGO Futura and the process development lab, trains became a natural extension of the LEGO system.
