LEGO® BrickMaster

Description

What the BrickMaster is

The BrickMaster is not a conventional model so much as a pocket-sized building guide. It appeared in 2007 under the Creator theme. With 103 pieces it is small enough to fit in a handful of bricks, yet it offers more than basic blocks: 34 different parts mean you can build a range of things from it. Exactly what comes out depends on the instructions that come with the set, so the parts list is the best place to start. It shows you at a glance what you have to work with.

Dark tones with lighter accents

The colour choice is unusually calm. Black forms the base, joined by blue, dark bluish grey and pearl light grey. The mix feels technical and sober, which suits a set whose main job is to be useful. Pearl light grey is a metallic-looking shade that lifts a model's appearance even when it shows up in only a few places. For later projects, colours like these are popular in vehicles and robots. The quantities on the list show which colours you have most of.

Who should build it

A set of this size appeals to collectors of small rarities and to anyone who wants a quick result from a few parts. There are no minifigures, so this is not a play set but a kit for the curious. If you plan to buy it second-hand, use the parts list on this page to check it is complete, because with so few pieces every missing part stands out immediately. That saves frustration before you tip it out on the table and find something missing.

Building on from here

The 103 pieces can of course be combined freely. The “What can I build?” tool shows which models you could make from this set alone or together with the rest of your bricks. With small sets in particular it is worth looking at what the whole collection can produce, since a good number of different parts often leads to surprisingly versatile combinations. Mixes of plates, slopes and special parts make your own ideas much easier.
