Fairy Tales was a subtheme of LEGO Belville. This subtheme often featured magical or fantasy-oriented sets. Elements like castles, fairies, magical creatures, and enchanted forests were common in these sets. Some of the sets also drew inspiration from classic fairy tales and stories. The Fairy Tales subtheme was part of LEGO's effort to engage a broader audience and offer different play scenarios beyond the traditional city, space, and castle themes.
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.
