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.

2002 LEGO Sets

2002 was an interesting year for LEGO. While there were a couple of highly collectable sets such as the Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer (10030-1) and the Pirates Black Seas Barracuda (10040-1) most sets did not see the kind of growth that previous years had experienced. However, the Star Wars theme carried a lot of the collection's weight, it was the year Star Wars celebrated its 25th Anniversary. The Western theme which included the iconic Fort LEGOredo (6762-1) help the overall investiability of 2002. During 2002 LEGO released a number of new themes including the original Spider-man and Island Xtreme Stunts as well as some prominent subthemes including Episode II: Attack of the Clones for Star Wars, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Mission Deep Sea under Alpha Team.
