LEGO Supplementaries were sets released during the early days of the LEGO system. These sets were designed to supplement and expand upon the building possibilities of existing LEGO sets. Instead of being complete stand-alone models or kits, Supplementaries provided additional bricks, special parts, wheels, windows, doors, gears, or even motors. These sets were especially useful during an era when LEGO's product line was simpler and less specialized than it is today.
1994 LEGO Sets
In 1994, LEGO reached new milestones while facing operational challenges that would shape its future strategy. One of the most notable developments was the opening of LEGO Mexico, further expanding LEGO’s global manufacturing and distribution network. This move was part of LEGO’s broader effort to scale production and meet increasing global demand, as the company had, for the first time, exceeded its molding capacity. With demand outpacing supply, LEGO was forced to confront efficiency limitations in its production facilities, leading to a reevaluation of its manufacturing processes, operational strategies, and future expansion plans.
