The LEGO Western theme, also known as Wild West, ran from 1996 to 1997 with additional sets released in 2002. The theme included two subthemes, Cowboy and Indians, and was set in the Old West in the second half of the 19th century. Sets featured cowboys, outlaws, cavalry soldiers and native Americans/Indians.
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.
