LEGO Themes Timeline

Recommended Posts

To celebrate the new year, over the past two days I've been working on what I asked about in a past thread: A timeline of all LEGO Themes.

The timeline is only possible due to Rebrickable's Lego catalog database containing theme and year data for all sets, so much thanks to them. My code is available at https://github.com/jxu/lego-theme-timeline

The first timeline is of some themes I selected. I picked the colors and themes haphazardly, so all suggestions on new timeline views or themes to plot are welcome. I can also compute some statistics like the theme with the most years or the longest continuous running theme, if there is sufficient interest.

The big timeline contains every theme (technically, the broadest "parent theme" as there are 459 total themes recorded). It uses the default ggplot colors because I didn't want to think of that many colors. You can download the original image to zoom in.

Cool project.

There used to be a theme-by-theme chart like this at Fibblesnork (https://www.lugnet.com/fibblesnork/lego/guide/), but you had to click through to see subthemes w/in space, town, castle, etc. That one didn't include anything outside of Legoland/System, and it hasn't been updated in years, so it's cool to see the idea get picked up again.
