LEGO Supplementaries were sets released during the early days of the LEGO system. These sets were designed to supplement and expand upon the building possibilities of existing LEGO sets. Instead of being complete stand-alone models or kits, Supplementaries provided additional bricks, special parts, wheels, windows, doors, gears, or even motors. These sets were especially useful during an era when LEGO's product line was simpler and less specialized than it is today.
1990 LEGO Sets
In 1990, LEGO released several new sets and themes, including the LEGO Pirates theme, which introduced models of pirate ships, islands, and treasure. 1990 was also the year that LEGO introduced the LEGO Fabuland theme, which was a line of sets featuring anthropomorphic animal characters living in a fictional town. The Fabuland theme was targeted towards younger children and was popular for its cute, colorful designs.
