About LEGO Cars Cars 2

The LEGO Cars 2 theme, introduced in 2011, was based on the Disney-Pixar animated film Cars 2. This LEGO series brought to life the movie's iconic characters and scenes, offering fans a range of sets that included stylized, brick-built versions of characters like Lightning McQueen, Mater, and Francesco Bernoulli. Through these sets, fans could recreate racing sequences, espionage adventures, and other memorable moments from the film in LEGO form.
2012 LEGO Sets
2012 was a landmark year highlighted by LEGO’s 80th anniversary and major licensed expansions. LEGO The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit joined the lineup alongside Marvel and DC Super Heroes, establishing enduring partnerships with both comic universes. LEGO Friends debuted, introducing mini-doll figures and Heartlake City, becoming one of LEGO’s most successful modern themes. Other launches included Monster Fighters, Disney Princess, and Dino. Alien Conquest, Atlantis, Pharaoh’s Quest, Kingdoms, and Harry Potter retired, though Harry Potter would later return in 2018.
