Each year FIRST LEGO League introduces a scientific and real-world challenge for teams to focus and research on. participants work out a solution to a problem related to the theme and then meet for regional, national and international tournaments to compete, share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots.
2006 LEGO Sets
In 2006, LEGO introduced several major themes while retiring others, marking a year of transition and innovation. One of the most notable additions was LEGO Batman, the company’s first full DC Comics collaboration, bringing Gotham’s heroes and villains into LEGO form. Another highly anticipated licensed theme was LEGO Avatar: The Last Airbender, based on the popular Nickelodeon series. However, despite its strong collector demand in later years, the theme was discontinued after just two sets, making them highly valuable today.
