Description

Three question marks as a brief

The title promises no single model but invites you to experiment: what can 21 pieces become that flies, floats or has feathers? The pieces are red, blue, yellow and white, the classic primary colours. There are no minifigures; the focus is on shapes and on snapping things together. That makes it suited to a short afternoon of tinkering, where everyone finds their own solution and three quite different models end up on the table.

A good mix of shapes

Of the 21 pieces, 13 are different, so the set offers a good variety of shapes. As part of the Universal Building Set line it was meant for creative building, and it still mixes easily into an existing collection today. The parts list on this page shows exactly which pieces are inside. With 21 pieces and four colours it is easy to keep track of, which helps less experienced builders.
