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.
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.
