2019 LEGO Sets
2019 marked 20 years of LEGO Star Wars with commemorative editions and retro-printed minifigures. LEGO acquired BrickLink, the leading secondary marketplace, deepening ties with the AFOL community. Hidden Side blended augmented reality with ghost-hunting builds, while pop-culture entries like Stranger Things and Overwatch reached new audiences. By this period, earlier in-house lines such as Nexo Knights and Elves had concluded.
