About LEGO Seasonal Birthday

Happy Birthday! Celebrate your birthday with some cute LEGO birthday sets that can be used to give away as presents or simply as decorations. With the Birthday subtheme introduced in 2012 these little sets, while have not been a hit for investors, has produced some memorable sets to collectors of all types.
2012 LEGO Sets
2012 was a very important year for LEGO license themes, namely, the contract with Lucasfilm was renewed to extend Star Wars sets until at least 2022. The LEGO Group also celebrated its 80th anniversary in August of that year. 2012 also marked the year for one of the largest number of new and important themes being released which included The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Marvel Super Heroes, DC Super Heroes, Monster Fighters, Friends and LEGO Friends. With the introduction of all these new themes LEGO did discontinue a number of beloved themes in 2012 which included Alien Conquest, Atlantis, Pharaoh's Quest, Kingdoms and Harry Potter which did make a return six-years later, thankfully.
