About LEGO Make and Create
The LEGO Make and Create theme, active from 2005 to 2012, was a versatile line that focused on providing builders with the tools to unleash their creativity. It included sets such as LEGO Creator and LEGO Classic, which offered a wide range of bricks and elements to inspire imaginative building. These sets encouraged builders to explore their own ideas and designs, with a focus on open-ended play and endless possibilities.
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.
