| − | A '''LEGO Theme''' is a way to classify [[LEGO]] sets on the main subject they cover. [[Set]]s are sorted by their '''theme'''. Prominent examples include [[Batman]], [[Star Wars]], [[Harry Potter]], and [[BIONICLE]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == History == |
||
| − | === First LEGO System themes (1978–1999) === |
||
| − | With the introduction of the [[minifigure]]-compatible ''[[System]]'' line in [[1978]], LEGO established the three major themes ''[[Town]]'', ''[[Castle]]'' and ''[[Space]]'', inside each of which were later added several new subthemes, that mostly consisted of new distinct factions of minifigures and were all related to the respective main theme's core subjects. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With ''[[Boats]]'' and ''[[Trains]]'', two minor themes where introduced that complemented ''Town'' but were not counted as parts or subthemes of it. Another unique theme was '''[[Model Team]]''' from [[1986]], whose sets focussed on more or less accurate scale reproductions of real world vehicles and were not designed to be minifigure-compatible. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Beginning with ''[[Pirates]]'' in [[1989]], LEGO added additional main themes to the ''LEGO System'' line that stood beside the three initial main themes. These four major theme made up the bulk of the LEGO System sets of that era and were also the most popular themes. Another minor System theme [[Belville]] was introduced in 1994, which contained larger figure and more specially-designed bricks. The next addition was ''[[Aquazone]]'' in [[1995]] followed by ''[[Western]]'' in [[1996]]. The odd ''[[Time Cruisers]]'' line from the same year is considered a subtheme of ''Town''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The, now six, major minifigure-themes (''Town'', ''Castle'', ''Space'', ''Pirates'', ''Aquazone'' and ''Western'') were subjected to bigger changes in [[1999]]: ''Space'', ''Pirates'', ''Aquazone'' and ''Western'' were discontinued for the time being. ''Castle'' was rebranded to ''[[Knights' Kingdom]]''. ''Town's'' core subjects were outsourced to ''[[Town Jr.]]'' and later ''[[City Center]]'', while still being complemented by different subthemes which were in most cases only remotely related to city-life. |
||
| − | |||
| − | An exception was the smaller ''[[Adventurers]]'' theme from [[1998]] that was complemented with different subthemes until its eventual discontinuation in [[2004]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Smaller themes and licensing (1999 onwards) === |
||
| − | Instead of slowly adding new factions and sets to existing main themes, most themes were now self-contained series of sets that in most cases had all of its sets released in its first year and only lasted for one or two more years. One of these new themes was ''[[Rock Raiders]]'' from 1999 and ''[[Life on Mars]]'' from [[2001]], which was a shortlived revival of the old ''Space'' theme. |

||

| − | The other side of the medal were themes that were based on popular media franchises like ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter]]''. Those themes would regularly see new releases over the timespan of several years. Another possibility of releasing sets based on licenses was the ''[[Studios]]'' theme. |

| − | Nevertheless, there were still some original LEGO themes that ran for several years and were regularly updated with new sets, like ''[[Alpha Team]]'' that ran from 2001 to [[2005]] and to a smaller extent ''[[Knights' Kingdom II]]'' that saw new releases from [[2004]] to [[2006]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Relaunch of classic themes (2005 onwards) === |
||
| − | With the introduction of ''[[City]]'' in 2005, the constant rebranding of the ''[[Town]]'' theme in the years after 1999 came to a halt. It also marked the first true revival of one of the classic major themes since the initial concept of complementing a consistent long running theme by regular releases of new sets saw a renaissance as well. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Other recent themes were ''[[Castle (2007)]]'' and the continuation of ''[[Pirates]]''. ''Space'' saw a partial revival in the form of ''[[Mars Mission]]'' (2007 - 2008) and the new ''[[Space Police III|Space Police]]'' from [[2009]]. |
