LEGO 1995 / Duplo Sets

In 1995 LEGO released 37 Duplo sets across 3 subthemes. The largest Duplo set from 1995 was 1764 Birthday Building Set with a piece count of 100.

The LEGO DUPLO theme was introduced as far back as 1969 and is designed for children ages 1 to 5. It features DUPLO figures which are much larger than minifigures and DUPLO blocks which are about twice the length, width, and height of a standard System brick. Like LEGO System, DUPLO also has subthemes that are often junior versions of System themes, like Pirates and Castle and licensed themes like Disney and Super Heros.

1995 LEGO Sets

In 1995, LEGO celebrated its rich heritage with the company's 60th anniversary and the LEGO brick's 40th anniversary. However, despite these milestones, the mid-90s marked a time of introspection for LEGO as the toy market's dynamics were shifting. The year saw the introduction of the LEGO Technic CyberMaster series, which combined traditional building with computer technology, hinting at LEGO's future direction towards integrating tech with bricks. Additionally, LEGO faced challenges with increasing competition and needed to evolve its product range, foreshadowing significant changes and innovations in the coming years.
