The LEGO Creator theme consists of a variety of subthemes that revolve around sets that focus on buildings, creatures, vehicles, robots and recently more specialized sets such as botanical and even the Chinese New Year. Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.
2002 LEGO Sets
In 2002, LEGO continued to expand its product range, though not all themes found long-term success. Star Wars remained a dominant force, celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary, with LEGO releasing several collectible sets such as the Imperial Star Destroyer (10030-1) and Attack of the Clones subtheme sets, coinciding with the release of Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The Western theme also contributed to the year’s investment appeal, with sets like Fort LEGOredo (6762-1) maintaining long-term collectibility.
