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.
2019 LEGO Sets
There were a number of events in 2019 that helped shaped the investment market for LEGO. Probably the most important event is that LEGO Star Wars celebrated its 20th anniversary. In addition, LEGO released new themes such as Hidden Side, Overwatch and a set based on the Netflix series Stranger Things. Sadly the Nexo Knights and Elves themes were discontinued in 2019.
