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 very important year for LEGO license themes, namely, the contract with Lucasfilm was renewed to extend Star Wars sets until at least 2022. The LEGO Group also celebrated its 80th anniversary in August of that year. 2012 also marked the year for one of the largest number of new and important themes being released which included The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Marvel Super Heroes, DC Super Heroes, Monster Fighters, Friends and LEGO Friends. With the introduction of all these new themes LEGO did discontinue a number of beloved themes in 2012 which included Alien Conquest, Atlantis, Pharaoh's Quest, Kingdoms and Harry Potter which did make a return six-years later, thankfully.
