In 1984 LEGO released 5 Basic sets. The largest Basic set from 1984 was
1954-2 Basic Set with Storage Case with a piece count of 137 and a retail price of $12.99.
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 specific stories, characters, or concepts (e.g., space, city, or pirates), the Basic theme provided a collection of standard LEGO bricks and pieces, often in a variety of colors. The goal was to encourage free building and creativity without the confines of a specific theme or narrative.

1984 marked the launch of the LEGO Space "Futuron" subtheme, which introduced a more futuristic and modern design aesthetic to the broader Space theme, captivating fans with new minifigures, vehicles, and space bases. Additionally, 1984 saw the birth of the LEGO Castle "Crusaders" and "Black Falcons" factions, enriching the Castle theme with more intricate storylines and detailed sets.
