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.
1999 LEGO Sets
In 1999, LEGO entered a new era with the launch of its first-ever licensed theme: LEGO Star Wars, in collaboration with Lucasfilm. Released alongside Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, this partnership introduced LEGO sets based on iconic characters, vehicles, and locations from the Star Wars universe. The success of LEGO Star Wars marked the beginning of LEGO’s expansion into licensed properties, a trend that would define the company’s future.
