1989 LEGO Sets
In 1989, the LEGO Group continued to explore new horizons in play, creativity, and innovation, introducing new themes and expanding its global presence. This year marked the launch of the LEGO Model Team theme, a line designed for older builders and car enthusiasts. Unlike traditional LEGO vehicle sets, Model Team focused on intricately detailed, realistic designs, featuring advanced building techniques and a greater emphasis on aesthetic accuracy. This theme provided a more sophisticated challenge for experienced LEGO fans who appreciated highly detailed models with functional elements such as working steering and opening doors.
