Description

The same numbers as Basic Set 6-3

What stands out is that this set matches Basic Set 6-3 for piece count and variety: 338 pieces, 28 different elements and the same main colours. Parallels like this were fairly common when one box of contents served different packaging or markets. The facts do not say whether the box differs or whether individual parts vary. For building it hardly matters, since you receive a similar assortment either way. A close comparison of the lists will settle any differences.

What is in the box

The four main colours are red, white, yellow and black. That gives you both warm and neutral tones, and lets you create clear patterns. Walls, roofs or a little street work as well in these colours as a vehicle does. The 28 element shapes are enough to stop every result looking built on the same principle, yet they remain manageable and easy to sort, which is a relief with a pile of bricks.

Building with no brief

As with all sets in this theme there is no fixed model to follow, so you decide. That suits children who like free building, and adults who want to try something without instructions. A build takes as long as you let it take. The results are usually one-offs that look good on a shelf. Minifigures are not included, but a few of your own give your models scale and life straight away.

Parts list, comparison, ideas

At the bottom of the page you will find the complete parts list covering all 338 pieces with their colours. If you want to compare Building Set 135-1 with Basic Set 6-3, look at the two lists side by side. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which models come out of the bricks, even in combination with other sets in your collection. That way each part quickly gets a new job.
