LEGO themes are lines of LEGO sets produced by the LEGO group based on a central concept.
Before LEGO themes were introduced in 1978, LEGO sets are constructed with common themes and were not branded as part of a single theme or series.
In 1987, LEGO started creating themed sets as well as introducing branding that identified a set as part of a theme. Since then, many LEGO sets were introduced and discontinued. However, not all LEGO sets produced are necessarily part of any official theme including one-off licensed sets, store exclusive sets and most advanced construction sets released prior to the introduction of Creator Expert.
