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.
2020 LEGO Sets
In 2020, LEGO thrived despite global disruptions, debuting several new lines for both families and adult fans. LEGO Super Mario introduced interactive, course-building play; Monkie Kid launched with a modern take on Journey to the West; and creative-focused ranges such as DOTS, LEGO Art, and Brick Sketches broadened display and craft appeal. Creator Expert (later Icons) and Ideas delivered standout display sets, anchoring a strong year for collectors.
