Description

Getting people into your builds

This set belongs to a line where figures were the point: you build houses from other bricks, and this one supplies the inhabitants. The catalogue lists no minifigures, because the people of that era were assembled from individual bricks and were not counted as minifigures. With 118 pieces you get a basic stock for bringing scenes to life that would feel empty otherwise. Looking at such a set today shows how early the idea of populating a play world appeared in the brick system.

Four strong colours

Black, red, white and yellow are the main colours, a familiar quartet from the early years of the brick system. With 32 different part types, the selection stays interesting even though only 118 pieces are included. Many types in a small count suggests that accessories rather than bulk are the focus here: these are bricks with a job to do, not filler for large surfaces. That also means the parts slot into other projects easily, without standing out from whatever else you have already built.

Where it fits in your collection

A set like this is most useful when combined with others, as the crew for a house, a vehicle or a small market square. The parts list on this page shows exactly which bricks come in which colour and helps with checking second-hand copies. With the What can I build? tool you can also see which further sets become possible when you add these parts to your stock. A small supplementary pack turns into a building block for much bigger plans.

A look back at 1978

In 1978 building people from bricks was still something special, and sets like this show how play worlds were brought to life step by step. You assemble the figures yourself, giving them faces, roles and clothing in the four main colours. That takes a bit of imagination, which modern sets with printed parts often supply for you. This is where the charm lies: you decide whether the bricks become a firefighter, a shopkeeper or a passer-by, and you can rebuild any figure later.
