Description

Bricks and a place to put them

What sets this one apart is the pairing of bricks with a storage case. You get 82 pieces and somewhere to put them when playtime is over. That appeals to children who are supposed to tidy up their own bricks, and to parents who like an orderly room. There is no fixed goal, so you build whatever comes to mind and then pack everything away again without individual pieces going missing under the sofa.

Few shapes, several colours

There are only 14 different parts, but they come in yellow, red, black and blue. That keeps the set easy to grasp: every brick appears several times, and the simple shapes quickly turn into walls, vehicles or animals. The parts list on this page tells you which shapes they are and how often each occurs. That helps if you want to rebuild the set or find out whether your own box of bricks would be a good match for it.

A base for bigger ideas

Because the bricks connect with almost any other set, this small package easily becomes the start of a larger collection. Use the “What can I build?” tool to see which other sets you could put together from your stock. Basic shapes like these appear in nearly every model, so the hit rate is high. And if you own further basic sets, you can combine them and build noticeably larger houses or vehicles.

For beginners and collectors

Beginners learn from this set how bricks hold together and which constructions stay stable. Collectors tend to like it because the storage case is part of the historic package. With no minifigures included, everything is about the bricks themselves. That makes it a fine example of what an introduction to the system looked like in 1984: simple, colourful and free of any big instructions or rules. Anyone who wants to pass a first set to a child will find it a reasonable choice.
