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.
2013 LEGO Sets
In 2013, LEGO expanded its licensed and original themes, making it a pivotal year for collectors and investors. One of the biggest launches was LEGO Legends of Chima, a fantasy-based animal warrior theme, which was heavily promoted alongside the premiere of The Legends of Chima TV series on Cartoon Network. Designed as a successor to Ninjago, Chima introduced tribal factions, specialized vehicles, and mystical energy sources, making it one of LEGO’s most ambitious in-house themes.
