Description

A small basic box

At 293 pieces, 113-1 is one of the smaller boxes in its range. It is enough for one manageable model, such as a house with a garden or a vehicle, and can be built in a single afternoon. Since no instructions are provided, every build turns out differently. That is the appeal of such boxes: you receive material rather than a finished task, and you decide for yourself what it should become. A compact box like this is also easy to take along to a building day with friends.

No figures, but 51 part types

Minifigs are not included, though the pieces are spread over 51 different types, a solid selection for a set of this size. Besides plain bricks there are enough special shapes that a roof, a door or a window does not need to be improvised. If you own figures from other boxes, simply add them. The bricks are compatible with each other, so old and new stock can be combined without any trouble.

Blue, red, yellow and black

The four main colours are blue, red, yellow and black, the classic mix of the early years, bold and easy to combine. Blue often forms the roof or the bodywork, red and yellow the walls, and black supplies wheels and details. Models built this way are easy to recognise even without fine detail. For children it is a simple way in, because just a few bricks already give a bright, visible result. Mixing only two colours per model keeps the result neat.

Count, compare, reuse

This page lists every part type and quantity, which helps when buying a used box because you can spot gaps quickly. If you want to use the bricks in a larger collection, the “What can I build?” tool on this site shows which models your parts allow, so the box does not sit unused but becomes part of new projects where old bricks find fresh purpose.
