The LEGO Duplo Trains theme is a subset of the LEGO Duplo line focused on train-related builds. The sets include larger, child-friendly pieces that allow young builders to assemble train tracks, locomotives, carriages, and associated structures. Emphasizing basic construction and early motor skills, the theme offers an introduction to the world of trains and rail systems, providing youngsters an avenue for imaginative play centered around transportation and train adventures.
2000 LEGO Sets
The turn of the millennium was an important year for LEGO. Not only did LEGO produce some investible sets for 2000, we saw some transition in the company. First, set designer and the inventor of the minifigure, Jens Nygaard Knudsen, retired from The LEGO Group. Second, The British Association of Toy Retailers name the LEGO brick "Toy of the Century". With 2000 LEGO released just a couple of new themes including TECHNIC Roboriders and Race. The Rock Raiders, Nijna and the Slizer/Throwbots themes were discontinued.
