1987 LEGO Sets
1987 reshaped core worlds: Futuron and Blacktron established a new Space rivalry, and the Forestmen arrived in Castle with woodland hideouts and outlaw flair. Early computer-control experiments appeared in the Technic ecosystem, foreshadowing later programmable systems. Across the portfolio, factions and clearer narratives became a defining design focus.
