Description

A box of windows and doors

The name gives it away: accessories for house building. Instead of one finished model you get the elements that make a building look lived in, the things that separate a bare wall from a home. The set sits in Educational and Dacta and was intended as an extension to a basic box. If you already owned bricks, you could add exactly what was missing and take on larger buildings. Windows and doors are needed in every house model and are often scarce in a basic box.

Colourful but orderly

Red, white, green and blue dominate the contents. That gives a clear, cheerful look that suits family homes, for instance with red roofs or green accents. With 196 pieces but only 39 different types, many elements repeat. That is handy when you need several identical windows or doors and do not want to hunt for a separate shape each time. The parts list shows how often each type appears, so you can judge how many buildings the contents will fit out.

Building without a template

Because no fixed model is given, the result depends on your imagination. You might plan one small house, a row of terraces or an entire village, sharing the accessories across several buildings. Minifigures are not part of the contents, though you can always move your own figures in. For children who enjoy free building, an extension box like this is more exciting than yet another fixed model with instructions. It is less about display and more about play and rebuilding, since every house may look different.

Using what you own

If you have old bricks from the eighties, the parts list helps with checking: you quickly see what is missing from your tub or what you have twice. The “What can I build?” tool on this page also shows which other sets could be assembled from the elements you already have. That turns an accessory box into a source of many further ideas, well beyond its original range. If you own several boxes from this period, check the stock together and plan something bigger.
