LEGO has produced various seasonal and holiday-themed sets over the years. These sets often coincide with holidays like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and Valentine's Day, among others. The LEGO Basic theme, which began in the 1970s, was designed to be a more general, non-thematic series of sets. Unlike the themed sets that revolve around concepts, the Basic theme provided a collection of standard LEGO bricks and pieces.
1989 LEGO Sets
In 1989, the LEGO Group continued to explore new horizons in the world of play and creativity. The company introduced the LEGO "Model Team" theme, which appealed to older builders and car enthusiasts with its intricately designed, realistic vehicle sets. Furthermore, LEGO launched the "Technic Figures" line, introducing articulated figures that added a new level of realism to Technic creations. Beyond product innovation, the year marked the opening of the first LEGOLAND park in the United States, in Carlsbad, California, further expanding the LEGO brand's presence and offering families immersive LEGO-themed experiences.
