Scala is a theme that started in the late 1970s then again the late 1990 that primarily targeted at younger girls. The earlier Scala sets where a series of jewelry and beauty accessories built out of LEGO bricks, usually plates. However, in the second wave the Scala theme shifted focus to doll-like Scala Figures, their homes and interests and contained sets that included doll house like features and Scala Figure accessories such as doll clothing.
2000 LEGO Sets
The turn of the millennium was an important year for LEGO. Not only did LEGO produce some investible sets for 2000, we saw some transition in the company. First, set designer and the inventor of the minifigure, Jens Nygaard Knudsen, retired from The LEGO Group. Second, The British Association of Toy Retailers name the LEGO brick "Toy of the Century". With 2000 LEGO released just a couple of new themes including TECHNIC Roboriders and Race. The Rock Raiders, Nijna and the Slizer/Throwbots themes were discontinued.
