LEGO 2001 / Jack Stone Sets

Jack Stone is a LEGO theme introduced in 2001 and features larger, more detailed minifigures that have a civic action theme, with Jack Stone himself acting in various roles such as a Policeman, Fireman, Worker, Coast Guard, and Pilot. Jack Stone acted as the basic replacement for Town Jr. and City Center's juniorization by introducing larger figures. The jack Stone theme was discontinued in 2003 and was replaced by 4 Plus, which retained the adapted minifigures, but considerably reduced the focus on the Jack Stone character.

Other new releases included Alpha Team and the action-oriented Racers theme. LEGO also introduced Serious Play for business training and Jack Stone for younger builders. Life on Mars was launched and discontinued within the same year, while LEGO expanded its global retail presence with new brand stores in Europe and the U.S.
