The LEGO Duplo Cars theme is a branch of the LEGO Duplo line that focuses on characters and scenes from the Disney-Pixar "Cars" movies. These sets feature larger, easy-to-handle pieces tailored for younger children, and they depict recognizable characters like Lightning McQueen, Mater, and others, as well as related settings and scenes from the films. The theme provides young builders a way to interact with the "Cars" universe in a tactile manner, encouraging imaginative play through recognizable story elements.
2012 LEGO Sets
In 2012, LEGO experienced a landmark year, particularly in licensed themes and brand expansion. One of the biggest announcements was the renewal of LEGO’s Star Wars license with Lucasfilm, ensuring that Star Wars sets would continue production until at least 2022. This solidified LEGO Star Wars as one of the company’s most successful and long-lasting themes.
