About LEGO Classic Supplemental
Starting in the 1950s LEGO began individual parts sales, a practice that began with the Ferguson Tracktor in 1951. LEGO would supply dealers with wooden parts boxes and refill packs. These individual part sales would continue, at least in some markets, into the late 1950’s.
1971 LEGO Sets
In 1971, LEGO broadened its audience with new dollhouse and furniture sets aimed at girls, expanding its reach beyond traditional building themes. In Italy, the Minitalia range grew under import restrictions, offering locally produced sets compatible with the LEGO System. The year also introduced the 1×8×2 arch brick, adding architectural variety. These developments highlighted LEGO’s increasing design diversity and adaptability to regional markets.
