About LEGO Classic

The LEGO Classic theme comprises sets that offer a broad assortment of bricks and pieces in various colors and shapes. Unlike many other LEGO themes that revolve around specific narratives or characters, the Classic theme emphasizes open-ended creativity, allowing builders to construct whatever they envision. These sets serve as foundational building kits and include various LEGO elements and parts in a variety of packaging.
1969 LEGO Sets
1969 saw the launch of the DUPLO system, introducing double-sized bricks for preschoolers and opening a new age group for LEGO play. The company’s workforce surpassed 800 employees as sales and exports climbed. Trains advanced with new red spoked wheels, and LEGO Futura—an R&D division focused on concept development—was established in Billund. By this time, LEGO’s shift from cellulose acetate to ABS plastic was nearly complete, ensuring stronger and more colorfast bricks.
