LEGO Friends sets, introduced in 2012, are designed to appeal to girls and feature mini-doll figures, which are similar in size to minifigures but with a more realistic design. Fully compatible with all LEGO System bricks, these sets often include pink and purple elements and depict suburban life 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.
