The LEGO Duplo Cars theme is a branch of the LEGO Duplo line that focuses on characters and scenes from the Disney-Pixar "Cars" movies. These sets feature larger, easy-to-handle pieces tailored for younger children, and they depict recognizable characters like Lightning McQueen, Mater, and others, as well as related settings and scenes from the films. The theme provides young builders a way to interact with the "Cars" universe in a tactile manner, encouraging imaginative play through recognizable story elements.
2024 LEGO Sets
In 2024, LEGO broadened its creative reach through major new licenses, digital experiences, and sustainability goals. The LEGO Dune theme debuted with the Atreides Royal Ornithopter, faithfully capturing the design of the 2021 film. A landmark collaboration with Epic Games introduced LEGO Fortnite, blending survival, building, and over 1,200 minifigure-style characters. Other notable releases included LEGO Animal Crossing and LEGO The Legend of Zelda, expanding LEGO’s Nintendo partnership, and LEGO Wicked, tied to the upcoming musical film. LEGO Despicable Me returned alongside sets for the new Despicable Me 4 movie, while LEGO Star Wars marked its 25th anniversary with commemorative editions. Sustainability remained central to LEGO’s mission as it reaffirmed goals to use 50% renewable or recycled materials by 2026 and phase out fossil-based plastics by 2032.
