LEGO® TECHNIC Beams

Description

The skeleton of Technic models

Beams are the load-bearing elements of many Technic constructions. They form frames, chassis and arms to which axles, gears and connector pins can be attached. This 2003 pack offers 56 pieces spread across 28 different parts, so about two of each on average. It is a useful tool for anyone designing vehicles or machines without a fixed plan and in need of a selection of different lengths and shapes.

Two colours, a clear look

Black and pearl light grey are the only main colours. The combination looks sober and technical and suits vehicles, robots or machines that should not look playful. Thanks to the restrained palette the parts mix easily with other sets without standing out. If you want colourful accents, simply add bricks, plates or panels from elsewhere in your collection and give your own models an individual finish that reflects your style. With some experimenting they become sturdy frames that you can extend as you like.

For tinkerers and collectors

The pack mainly appeals to tinkerers wanting to expand their stock of Technic parts. Collectors of older stock will also find elements that suit models from around 2003. With 56 pieces it is not a major project, but it is easy to try out in a single evening. There is no instruction booklet, because the Bulk Bricks line is built around free building and leaves the choice of model to you. Newcomers learn by playing how frames can be sturdy yet still movable.

Parts list and ideas

You can see all 28 variants with their quantities in the parts list further down this page. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which models your collection plus these beams could make, and whether an addition is worthwhile for your next project. That way you quickly find out whether the selection is enough for your idea or whether you would still lack certain axles and connectors. The list also tells you which lengths and shapes are in the assortment.
