Star Wars LEGO Sets

Star Wars LEGO Sets took over the spot as most popular LEGO themes almost as soon as they were released in the late 90's. Many people who had lost enthusiasm for LEGO systems over the years were brought back by the release of the the Star Wars LEGO theme based on the very popular movie.

Today, Star Wars LEGO sets enjoy unprecedented success out-selling every other LEGO theme handily. The LEGO Group has done a very good job with Star Wars LEGOs, creating a system of LEGO Sets that LEGO lovers and Star Wars lovers alike can enjoy and talk about for many years to come.

Pirate LEGO Sets


Pirate LEGO Sets first came along in 1989 and were the first LEGO Sets to include LEGO Minifigures with actual expressions on their faces. Pirate LEGOs included ships, treasure chests, boats and island builds.

LEGO collectors around the world know that some of the more rare LEGOs are Pirate LEGO Sets. Discontinued, vintage Pirate LEGOs can sell for as much as $500!

The LEGO Group has released different style Pirate LEGOs from sets with a French theme to sets with a Spanish theme. In 1997 LEGO actually stopped making Pirate LEGO systems much to the chagrin of LEGO fans everywhere. in 2001, the LEGO Group again made Pirate LEGO Sets based on previous versions.

Castle LEGO Sets


Castle LEGO Sets always take me back to my childhood. Castle LEGOs were probably the most popular theme for LEGO sets in the late 80's, early 90's other than perhaps the Pirate LEGO Sets. Castle LEGOs included some of the more imaginative LEGO minifigures with plenty of accessories. With swords, shields, flags and even horses, Castle LEGO sets set a new standard for playability and imagination.

Many Castle LEGO sets are discontinued and worth mega-bucks. These Castle LEGOs are considered "vintage" and a set that is found in the box from the early 90's can net some serious money on eBay.
