Kingdoms was the Castle line of 2010 to 2012, a return to knights and castles after the monsters of the Fantasy Era. It was set in a 15th century style Europe and told of two rival kingdoms, the Lion Kingdom in red and the Dragon Kingdom in green, fighting over castles, prisons and the villages around them. 7946 King's Castle from 2010 was the centre of the line.
2011 LEGO Sets
2011 introduced Ninjago, which quickly became one of LEGO’s most successful original themes and the foundation of a long-running multimedia franchise. Other launches included Pirates of the Caribbean, coinciding with Disney’s On Stranger Tides, the sci-fi Alien Conquest, and Master Builder Academy, a design-focused building program. LEGO also experimented with digital-physical integration through Life of George, an early augmented reality experience. Collectible Minifigures Series 3–5 strengthened LEGO’s growing collector market, while internal employee-exclusive sets like Moulding Machines became prized rarities. Several themes concluded this year, including Harry Potter, Ben 10, Power Miners, Toy Story, Prince of Persia, Space Police III, and BrickMaster.
