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.
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.
