Knudstorp understood that Lego had to return to basics, stepping back before it could move ahead. One legacy of the undisciplined creativity of the Plougmann era provided Lego with the key insight and product line that would power a new way of thinking. The insight was that kids don’t just want to build things; they also want to tell compelling stories with the things they build. The product line was Bionicle, which married {character assembly sets} with an elaborate futuristic story line.

多种模型组合
你去搜索一下 Bionicle 就知道这是乐高提供的生化战士系列产品。此类产品不但包含多个模型，还配有明确的故事情节。所以这里的 character 是指游戏角色，放在产品里就具体化为乐高生化战士模型。aseembly sets 表示模型是一组，有多个。

角色集合
先理解一下原文的意思，原文上下文的意思是说小孩子玩乐高玩具，不仅是建东西，而且要造的东西有故事性。然后拿生化战士系列（Bionicle）举例。
我个人觉得这句的难点是marry的理解，这里marry的意思是使....紧密结合起来：
marry means to unite intimately: Common economic interests marry the two countries.
参考：http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/marry
因此原文 ：The product line was Bionicle, which married {character assembly sets} with an elaborate futuristic story line.
意思是生化战士产品线就使玩具的角色集合设置与精心安排的未来故事线紧密的结合起来。

看来，assembly sets指积木时，应该有固定的说法。
