LEGO 2002 / Galidor Sets

The Galidor was based on the CGI science fiction TV series Galidor from Fox Kids and ABC Family and was released in 2002. Production of the show was partially funded by LEGO, which produced sets to go along with the show. The sets were based on a simplified action-figure structure vaguely similar to BIONICLE. Each Galidor set contained an action figure composed of about a dozen parts, connected by standard pins and featured a "glinching" (a power held by the denizens of the Outer Dimension that enables them to switch analogous limbs with each other) limb-switching ability that formed the core mechanic of the Galidor sets.

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.
