LEGO® Basic Building Set

Description

A box of open possibilities

Unlike vehicle or building sets, no particular subject is front and centre here. A basic set is meant for trying out your own ideas: a house, a car, a wall or something entirely abstract. With 110 pieces and only 11 distinct types, the choice is limited, and that limitation encourages creativity. You learn to get a lot out of a few shapes, without instructions and without any figures to guide the story. You never have to follow a fixed plan, and you can change what you have built at any moment.

Red, white, clear and blue

The four main colours are red, white, trans-clear and blue. It is a balanced mix that lets you hint at many things: white walls, red roofs, blue accents and clear pieces for windows. The parts list on this page tells you how many bricks of each type are included. That helps with planning, because with so few shapes the quantity of each one decides what you are able to build in the end.

Who it suits

The set is aimed at anyone who likes to build freely, from beginners to collectors wanting to complete an early starter kit. As a display piece it is modest but historically interesting, since it shows what many builders used for their very first models. It is also good for play, because every piece connects and detaches without a plan. No fixed instruction booklet is needed, and nothing is wasted if you change your mind halfway through.

Getting more from 110 bricks

A basic set is exactly the kind of thing to use with Bricoria's “What can I build?” tool. You can see which other sets could be assembled entirely from your bricks, and pick up suggestions for models you might never have thought of. Because the basic shapes are so general, they fit into countless constructions, and with every further set in your collection the number of possibilities grows noticeably.
