The LEGO Vikings theme is based on the ancient Scandinavian warriors known as Vikings. Released in 2005 and later discontinued in 2007, Vikings featured seven sets in total. Each set in the theme was based around a storyline that featured warriors battling creatures, typically based on Norse mythology. These creatures were constructed in a BIONICLE-like style that contrasted with the minifigure Vikings that battled them.
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.
