Jack Stone is a LEGO theme introduced in 2001and features larger, more detailed minifigures that have a civic action theme, with Jack Stone himself acting in various roles such as a Policeman, Fireman, Worker, Coast Guard, and Pilot. Jack Stone acted as the basic replacement for Town Jr. and City Center's juniorization by introducing larger figures. The jack Stone theme was discontinued in 2003 and was replaced by 4 Plus, which retained the adapted minifigures, but considerably reduced the focus on the Jack Stone character.
