Description

Building without a fixed plan

Freestyle stands for sets that do not lead to one single model but encourage open-ended building. The Freestyle Box follows that idea: it gives you a supply of bricks from which you develop something yourself. With 220 pieces the quantity is modest, yet completely sufficient for small houses, vehicles or imaginary creatures. For beginners in particular, that is a good amount to start with. You need neither figures nor a theme for that, only time and a willingness to experiment, and that is exactly the appeal of such boxes.

Primary colours up front

Red, yellow, blue and white are the four main colours, which makes up the classic basic assortment many people associate with building bricks. They can be mixed freely without anything looking out of place. That makes the box attractive to children who do not yet have specific models in mind, and to adults who want to top up their collection with plain bricks. Yellow and red suit roofs and vehicles, blue and white work for sky, water or walls, so many motifs are possible straight away.

Few shapes, many possibilities

What stands out is that there are only 36 different elements among 220 pieces. That means many shapes appear several times, which is handy for free building because you can make whole walls or surfaces in one colour. There are no minifigures; the box concentrates entirely on the bricks. The full list on this page shows which shapes they are and in what quantities. That makes experimenting easier, as you do not need to search long for fitting bricks and can concentrate on the actual idea.

An addition to your collection

When you mix parts from different sets, standard bricks in primary colours are always in demand. With the “What can I build?” tool on this page you can see which models your collection allows once this box is added. As a collector's item the set has its charm too, since it offers a plain look at the building bricks of the nineties, without any themed world or figures. That makes the box a simple and honest addition that slots into any existing collection without fuss and never gets in the way.
