LEGO Friends sets are designed to appeal to girls and were introduced in 2012. The Friends theme includes mini-doll figures, which are around the same size as minifigures but are more realistic. LEGO Friends pieces are fully compatible with all LEGO System bricks and sets include pieces in pink and purple color schemes and depict scenes from suburban life set in the fictional town of Heartlake City.
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.
