About LEGO Samsonite

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.
1967 LEGO Sets
In 1967, LEGO standardized its model scale, moving from the 1:87 Town Plan format to the larger 2×2 wheel scale used in Train and Model Maker sets. This unification set the stage for the modern LEGO System and the eventual minifigure scale of the late 1970s. New innovations included black rubber tires, the first hinge elements, and LEGO’s earliest promotional tie-ins—six exclusive sets released through Kraft Velveeta. The phasing out of Town Plan and 1:87 vehicles marked the end of LEGO’s early era and the beginning of a consistent global design standard.
