Description

The middle-sized bucket

As the name suggests, the bulk bucket came in several sizes, and this one sits in the middle. With 400 pieces it is enough for a series of small projects without the room sinking under bricks. The bucket itself works as storage and a carrying container, which goes down well with children in everyday use. There are no minifigures; people and vehicles are built from the bricks themselves, and depending on imagination, something different comes out every time.

Few shapes, clear colours

The parts list on this page shows only 10 different parts. Among 400 bricks that means many identical shapes, which makes sorting easier and building walls and towers simple. Blue, white, red and yellow dominate, the classic basic palette. That makes even simple structures look bright and friendly. If you want to know exactly how many bricks of one colour there are, check the parts list.

Comparing with 639 and 2199

This set has the same piece count and colour scheme as Lots of Extra Basic Bricks, 5+, but comes in a practical bucket. The Large Bulk Bucket offers more bricks, and the medium one sits in between and is easier to stow away. If you are unsure which size suits, you can compare the parts lists and form a picture. For gifts the middle size is often a good compromise between supply and price, without needing to clear a whole room.

Reusing the pieces

With the “What can I build?” tool on this page you can find models that result from these bricks, also together with other sets in your collection. Since the shapes are so simple, they fit everything released since and top up missing standard bricks. That keeps the bucket useful even when the children have grown up and want to build more complicated models, for which a stock of basic bricks is always needed.
