LEGO 2002 / Explore / Imagination Sets

The LEGO Explore Imagination theme is a part of the broader LEGO Explore line, designed for younger children. This particular theme emphasizes open-ended play and creativity, offering sets with a diverse array of bricks and elements that don't adhere to a specific narrative. The primary goal is to encourage free building and imaginative exploration, allowing children to create whatever they envision and develop foundational building skills without the constraints of a predefined model or story.

2002 LEGO Sets

2002 was an interesting year for LEGO. While there were a couple of highly collectable sets such as the Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer (10030-1) and the Pirates Black Seas Barracuda (10040-1) most sets did not see the kind of growth that previous years had experienced. However, the Star Wars theme carried a lot of the collection's weight, it was the year Star Wars celebrated its 25th Anniversary. The Western theme which included the iconic Fort LEGOredo (6762-1) help the overall investiability of 2002. During 2002 LEGO released a number of new themes including the original Spider-man and Island Xtreme Stunts as well as some prominent subthemes including Episode II: Attack of the Clones for Star Wars, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Mission Deep Sea under Alpha Team.
