Description
A small sample with 11 part types
The name says it all: this is a trial size. The 26 pieces come in 11 types in red, yellow, blue and white, enough for a few simple models such as a little house or a vehicle. There are no minifigures. Anyone wanting to try out building will be started within minutes.
Mix with your own bricks
The classic primary colours mix well with larger basic sets from the same period. The bricks also work as a parts donor for small details on your own builds. The list on this page shows which of the 11 types you hold in twos and threes.
Why a trial size?
A set of this size lowers the barrier for the curious: instead of a large box you get 26 bricks to try out the clicking. For today's collectors it is a document from 1991 and a small piece of a basic series. Its value lies in discovery rather than in the number of parts.
FAQ
