The LEGO Creator theme consists of a variety of subthemes that revolve around sets that focus on buildings, creatures, vehicles, robots and recently more specialized sets such as botanical and even the Chinese New Year. Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.
2014 LEGO Sets
In 2014, LEGO reached a new level of mainstream success with the theatrical release of The LEGO Movie on February 7, introducing LEGO to a new generation of fans, collectors, and investors. The film’s popularity not only boosted LEGO’s brand but also led to the launch of The LEGO Movie theme, featuring sets based on key locations, vehicles, and characters from the film.
