LEGO® Supplementary Pack

Description

Bricks to top up a set

This is not a model with instructions for one particular vehicle or house but an add-on: it supplies extra bricks for a base set used in schools and educational settings. With 106 pieces the pack is modest, yet it brings exactly what runs out first in creative building, namely more material. There are no figures in the box, because this one is only about the bricks themselves. Schools and groups could use it to extend their basic equipment so that several children could build at once.

Few types, many pieces

Only 18 different parts are spread across the 106 pieces, so on average each part appears several times. That makes the pack a collection of proven basic shapes that combine in many ways. Black, red, yellow and green are strong and unambiguous colours, as you would expect from educational sets where colour also helps with sorting and learning. The parts list is therefore quick to take in, even at a glance. With no special pieces that have one fixed purpose, the use stays open, and the material mixes freely with other sets.

Who the set suits

Collectors who want to complete a 1986 Universal Building Set will find a fitting addition here. Anyone who simply needs lots of standard bricks in clear colours gets plenty of them. For display the pack is less useful because it makes no model, but for building it is all the more so: a stock for free constructions, experiments and ideas of your own, with no instruction booklet setting the limits for what you make.

Plan with the parts list

This page gives you the full parts list with colours and quantities, so you can see exactly what is in the pack. With “What can I build?” you can check which sets your collection allows once you add the bricks from this pack. That turns a plain supplementary pack into a useful building block for your own collection, and a cheap way to widen what you can build. For a pack without instructions the list is especially useful for keeping track of your stock.
