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.

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.
