About Exclusive FIRST LEGO League
FIRST LEGO League is a robotics program run by FIRST together with the LEGO Group, in which teams take on science and technology challenges with robots they build from LEGO. It began in 1998 as a partnership between Dean Kamen, the founder of FIRST, and the LEGO Group's Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, and LEGO first produced sets for it in 2001.
2013 LEGO Sets
2013 introduced Legends of Chima, a heavily promoted fantasy line positioned as Ninjago’s successor, complete with a companion TV series. Licensed debuts included Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Lone Ranger, and new DUPLO tie-ins for Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Mickey Mouse. Collectors pursued the ultra-rare Mr. Gold minifigure from Series 10, limited to just 5,000 worldwide. This year also marked LEGO’s shift from 4-digit to 5-digit set numbering as Monster Fighters, SpongeBob SquarePants, Cars, and Dino concluded.
