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 specific stories, characters, or concepts (e.g., space, city, or pirates), the Basic theme provided a collection of standard LEGO bricks and pieces, often in a variety of colors. The goal was to encourage free building and creativity without the confines of a specific theme or narrative.
1991 LEGO Sets
In 1991, LEGO introduced the Paradisa theme, targeting a broader audience, particularly girls, with its pastel color scheme, beachfront settings, and vacation-themed elements. Unlike previous LEGO Town sets, Paradisa featured palm trees, beach houses, horses, and cafes, offering a more relaxed and lifestyle-based play experience while maintaining full compatibility with other LEGO themes.
