In my house LEGOs outnumber people about 1,000,000 to one and that may be a conservative estimate, but this is a set that all of us are excited to build. We ordered it and plan to put it together to use as our Halloween indoor decoration centerpiece. Not only will it be a family activity to build the 2,000 piece set, but it will last for years. Now I know what you are thinking, "This is a site about horror books and reading, why is she going on about LEGOS?" Ahhh, but there is a point. The popularity of all things scary can be seen in the major investment LEGO has put into creating an entire monster based line. Yes, they are ramping up the marketing for Halloween, but they did not create an entire line for this one holiday; one or two sets maybe, but not such an extensive product line. Even Christmas only has a few sets; they add one of two a year only. This is a great time to be a horror fan. Society is catching up with us and our macabre tastes. No longer are our interests in the dark, unsettling, and creepy considered fringe;
As I recall, LEGO's oldest weapons were actually wooden ones, from before LEGO started making plastic building bricks! LEGO had several wooden guns, like this one in the 40's and 50's:Within the building toy lineup, LEGO's had a very gradual increase in the amount of weapons that they've featured. LEGO used to have very conservative values, and attempted to avoid any sort of weaponry, religious symbols, or other controversial items. They even used to avoid making standard green, brown, and gray bricks-- supposedly because these facilitated making military models!LEGO's first representation of a weapon in a building set (that I'm aware of) was a gun in the 1976 set 210 Cowboys:Of course, as you can tell, it's not really a "gun" element-- it's just a black 1x2 plate that's being held as though it were a gun. Clearly the intention is there, even though you could probably argue that it's something innocuous like horseshoes instead!Beyond that, LEGO started putting out more weapons in 1978 in its castle lineup.
That initially featured swords, lances, and axes, but would later go on to include other weapons like bow & arrows, spears, halberds, and more:These are a far cry from modern weaponry, though, and were deemed acceptable. After all, it would be hard to make a castle theme without them!In the meanwhile (also starting in 1978), LEGO Space sets had a fair number of "gun-like-things", which designers and kids clearly interpreted as guns. But the official policy was always that they weren't weapons-- they were intended to be futuristic sensors and tools-- not guns!In 1989, LEGO pushed the line again when it came out with pirate sets. These featured cannons, pistols, sabres, and rifles. But they still clearly didn't look like modern weaponry-- and this is likely when LEGO decided on its policy which was roughly: "Weapons are ok, as long as they're in a historical context":That thinking, however, paved the way for "more modern" guns that were featured starting in 1996 with the Wild West lineup, which featured pistols and more modern-looking rifles.
In fact, many have argued that the Wild West weapons were SO similar to modern guns that the two were virtually one and the same.In 1999, LEGO had to again make some adjustments to their "policy" when LEGO Star Wars came out. They featured futuristic weapons (clearly not historical) that were clearly weapons. Hence, the thinking became that weapons were ok in licensed sets, as long as they looked more like futuristic/fantasy weapons, and not modern-day weapons.Finally, in 2006, LEGO started making more realistic modern weapons. This time, it was for the Batman sets, which were exceptions because they were from a licensed lineup:Since then, LEGO's occasionally put out other more modern-ish weapons, so you'll see them sprinkled here and there in several different lineups-- Indiana Jones, Super Heroes, etc. But also even within non-licensed themes like Agents, Monster Fighters, and Collectible Minifigures!LEGO still tries to avoid blatantly modern military, like tanks and fighter jets.
