LEGO has produced various seasonal and holiday-themed sets over the years. These sets often coincide with holidays like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and Valentine's Day, among others. The LEGO Basic theme, which began in the 1970s, was designed to be a more general, non-thematic series of sets. Unlike the themed sets that revolve around concepts, the Basic theme provided a collection of standard LEGO bricks and pieces.
1990 LEGO Sets
In 1990, LEGO continued to expand its product lineup with new themes and subthemes that catered to a wide range of audiences. This year saw the continued success of the LEGO Pirates theme, which had been introduced in 1989. Pirates remained a dominant line, offering detailed ships, island hideouts, and treasure-filled adventures featuring an ever-growing cast of characters, including pirates, imperial soldiers, and islanders. The theme's introduction of unique facial expressions and accessories further enhanced storytelling and immersive play.
