Dacta was an original LEGO theme from 1960 to 2003 that deals with all things that can be used with educational facilities, such as DUPLO and TECHNIC. Dacta was later replaced by the LEGO Education theme. Sets in the Dacta product line were exclusively developed for usage in younger aged schools so the sets typically contain a large amount of pieces for playing and learning in groups. The sets were designed to contain a higher number of bricks and elements at a lower cost.
1982 LEGO Sets
In 1982, LEGO continued expanding its product range, with a major milestone being the evolution of the LEGO Expert Builder series. Originally introduced in 1977, this line was officially rebranded as LEGO Technic, solidifying its identity as a theme focused on advanced building techniques. Technic introduced specialized parts such as gears, axles, pins, and beams, enabling builders to create complex, functional mechanical models, including vehicles with working steering, suspension, and engine components. This shift marked the beginning of LEGO Technic as a distinct and enduring product line.
