Heroica is a LEGO Games subtheme that is based on an adventure game with five models that can be purchased separately. The games modes include Normal Mode, Epic Mode, and Battle Mode and the modules can be arranged or at the discretion of the player. The Microfigures, introduced in the Heroica theme, include two factions, the Heroes and Monsters and each set contains both heroes and monsters for the heroes to fight.
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.
