1993 LEGO Sets
In 1993, LEGO navigated a transforming global toy landscape. This year marked the introduction of the LEGO Belville series, which was a departure from traditional sets, targeting a female audience with its detailed figures and scenarios. However, it was also a time of internal reflection for the company, as they realized their production was reaching its molding capacity. The challenge of balancing growing demand with production capabilities, paired with the ever-present need for innovation, set the stage for significant operational changes and expansions in the years that followed.
