LEGO 1996 / Service Packs / Duplo Sets

The LEGO DUPLO Service Packs theme, similar to the standard LEGO Service Packs, consisted of supplementary sets designed for the DUPLO line. Released primarily in the 1980s and 1990s, these packs provided additional DUPLO parts or specific components. They were not full sets but rather supplemental pieces intended to enhance or expand primary DUPLO offerings. These packs catered to younger builders, allowing for replacements of lost parts or offering more building possibilities within the DUPLO system.

1996 LEGO Sets

In 1996, the LEGO Group continued its legacy of innovation, though it was nearing a challenging period in its history. This year saw the company's ventures into digital media, with the establishment of LEGO Media, marking its initial foray into the world of video games and multimedia. Additionally, the Technic line was rebranded to create a more coherent global brand identity. While traditional brick sets remained popular, the mid-90s marked the beginning of a time when the company recognized the need for diversification and modernization to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving toy market.
