Between 1969 and 1976, LEGO released a range of building sets under the LEGOLAND theme that included intricate structures and scenes like the ones you mentioned. Sets such as 353 Terrace House with Car and Garage, 349 Swiss Chalet, and 369 Coast Guard Station were part of this lineup. They offered detailed models featuring buildings, vehicles, and accessories, allowing children to create realistic and immersive environments for imaginative play.
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.
