Imperial Guards was a Pirates subtheme introduced in 1989 that eventually replaced the Imperial Soldiers as main adversaries of the pirates. Some of the older Imperial Soldiers' sets that were still in production were re-categorized as part of the Imperial Guards faction until their discontinuation in 1995.
1992 LEGO Sets
In 1992, the LEGO Group continued to build upon its global presence and innovation. The company launched the LEGO Dacta line, later known as LEGO Education, aiming to provide educational solutions and bridge the gap between play and learning. This initiative emphasized hands-on teaching materials for schools, reinforcing the brand's belief in the educational value of play. Additionally, the Duplo line expanded its appeal to younger children with the introduction of the Toolo subtheme, which incorporated simple tools and screws. As the company looked to the future, its commitment to both education and product diversification became increasingly evident.
