About LEGO Homemaker
LEGO Homemaker was a theme introduced in 1971 designed to appeal primarily to girls and centered on domestic and suburban life-based settings. The larger of the Homemaker sets could be assembled to build complete room settings of a house, including a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedrooms while smaller sets could build models of other household fixtures. The sets are known for using Homemaker figures built using standard LEGO bricks.
1973 LEGO Sets
1973 marked major structural and product milestones for LEGO. The company ended its U.S. licensing agreement with Samsonite and established LEGO Systems, Inc. in Brookfield, Connecticut, giving LEGO direct control over its American distribution. DUPLO was formally branded as a standalone preschool line, expanding on the larger bricks first introduced in 1969. Early Town sets began to appear with simple, posable figures—precursors to the modern minifigure—bringing more life and movement to everyday scenes. LEGO’s catalog continued to grow rapidly, reinforcing its position as a leading global toy brand.
