This article needs to be built up. This article lacks substantial content. You can help Brickipedia by "adding on some bricks." In other words, it needs to be expanded. After you expand the article, please remove the "Expand" template. Further information might be found on the talk page. |
- This article is about the theme. For the video game, see 5700 LEGO Creator.
Creator is a theme which focuses on the creative construction of System parts as opposed to playability functions of minifigures as in most other themes. As such, Creator sets are typically based on buildings, cars, or creatures. There are also small sets contained in plastic pods, similar to the way BIONICLE and Hero Factory sets are packaged, but some are regular boxes. The Creator sets did not include Minifigures until 2011, although many of the older sets are minifigure-scaled. The Creator vehicles were said to have replaced the old Model Team theme.
History
Although the name Creator was introduced with the video game of the same name and board game, the first sets of the theme were introduced in 2001. They were continued from the previous Basic and FreeStyle themes, both including buckets of bricks and a few simple models. Creator, Basic, and Freestyle each included 4+ Figure minifigures named Tina and Max.
This Max is most likely where the well known LEGO Club Magazine's Mascot's Name came from.
These minifigures were discontinued when the Designer theme was introduced. This theme focused on the more specialized models, while Creator became used for sets containing a variety of bricks and pieces that were designed to develop creativity.
When the Designer theme was discontinued in 2006, Creator took over its style of sets, including the X-Pod sub-theme. This produced more complex models and themes, including some animals and vehicles. Meanwhile, Creator's previous sets, such as buckets of bricks, were moved to the Creative Building theme, which later became known as Bricks and More.
The complexity of the sets typically depends on the scale. Smaller models often make use of basic bricks, where as larger models make use of specialized elements and advanced building techniques. A majority of the sets released since 2006 are "3 in 1" sets, or sets that included bricks which could assemble into 3 different ways, with instructions for each assembly included with the set.
The Creator theme also includes the Modular Buildings line (with the exception of 10190 Market Street), which are a series of large, detailed buildings, with flat floors, and mostly have no more than one building. The Modular Buildings also include minifigures, unlike most Creator sets, and the sets are to the standard minifigure scale.
Recently, some Creator sets have been including minifigures, starting with 5766 Log Cabin.
The theme also recently used Technic pieces into sets such as 7347 Highway Pickup (for the base, the functional steering and part of the flatbed tray).
