LEGO® Imagination Set 3

Description

A mid-sized collection of bricks

At 568 pieces this set sits clearly below Imagination Set 5 but still offers plenty of material. It is a kit for free building: you get bricks in four main colours and build whatever comes to mind. For a single child or a single afternoon this quantity is enough for many small models or one larger project, where the bricks do not run out as quickly as they do in the small boxes. A set like this invites you to start building and to find new ideas along the way.

Fewer shapes, clear colours

White, red, blue and black are the main colours, and with 23 different parts the range of included shapes is easy to survey. That helps with sorting: you make piles by shape and colour and see straight away what you have to work with. On the parts list on this page you will find the quantity of each kind, which is very useful when planning walls or vehicles, especially when several bricks of the same type are needed.

Compared with its neighbours

The Imagination Sets are graded by number, and with 568 pieces against 917 you can see how the sizes differ. The shapes differ too: the larger set has 28 different parts, this one 23. Anyone who owns several boxes can combine them into one large stock. When buying second-hand, the list helps you check completeness without having to count every single kind of brick by hand. That saves time and stops you paying full price for an incomplete box.

Reusing the parts

With “What can I build?” you can check which other models your stock allows. The simple basic shapes fit today's bricks, so the box also makes a sensible addition to an existing supply. Precisely because the number of different shapes is manageable, the set suits walls, houses and vehicles where many identical parts matter, and it stays easy to oversee and to keep in order. If you prefer building to a plan, the suggestions on this page give you good guidance.
