1987 LEGO Sets
In 1987, LEGO continued its trajectory of innovation and expansion. A significant highlight of this year was the introduction of the LEGO Technic Computer Control, which allowed enthusiasts to combine traditional LEGO building with basic programming. This set marked one of LEGO's early forays into blending physical brick construction with digital technology, laying foundational stones for more advanced robotics and programmable sets in the years to come. The DUPLO line, designed for younger children, saw consistent growth, reinforcing LEGO's commitment to catering to various age groups.
