Description

Made for the playroom floor

The Classic Basic range was designed so that children and parents could start without instructions. This set fits that idea: a solid stock of standard bricks, plates and a few special parts that can become houses, vehicles or imaginary creatures. The appeal is freedom, because the only goal is the one you set yourself. If you ever rediscover a box of bricks from the late nineties, it probably contains something very much like this. The parts list on this page shows what comes with the set.

Four colours, lots of scope

Blue, yellow, red and white make up most of the bricks. These are the classic primary colours, and they combine almost any way you like. White walls with red roofs, yellow vehicles with blue windows: the palette keeps even spontaneous projects looking coherent. The two minifigures give each model a sense of scale and a small story. They are not enough for big scenes, but as the residents of a house or the driver of a car they do the job nicely.

Few types, many bricks

Among the 408 pieces there are only 80 different elements. That means many bricks appear several times in the box, which is exactly what freestyle building needs. A wall simply calls for lots of identical parts, and a set made of one-offs would soon hit its limits. For beginners this mix is forgiving, since mistakes are easy to fix and few parts fit in only one place. It also works well as an addition to an existing collection.

Finding ideas

If you are unsure what to make from your stock, the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria can help. It compares your parts with known models and shows what you can build straight away and what is still missing. With the parts list on this page you can also check whether a second-hand building table is complete before you buy it. That is especially worthwhile for older sets, whose original packaging has often long since disappeared.
