Description

Free building with a handle

Freestyle stands for sets without a fixed model to follow. Here the idea is extended with a storage case, in which the bricks disappear after play and which can be carried to the next place. That practicality is exactly the appeal: it is a toy for the bedroom, for travel and for the toy shelf. The parts list on this page shows what fits into the case, so you know what to expect when it is opened, and whether the contents suit what you want to build or give as a present.

819 pieces, 75 shapes

The ratio of 819 pieces to 75 shapes gives roughly ten copies of each part type on average. That is a good middle ground, with enough repeats for walls and roofs and enough variety for small details. There are no minifigures, so the focus is on building itself. If you want to stage scenes with people, you can add figures from other sets without anything changing about the way the bricks fit together.

Yellow, blue, white and red

The four main colours are yellow, blue, white and red. This is the classic mix of the toy-box, cheerful without being cluttered. Yellow comes first, which creates a sunny overall impression. If you would rather plan patterns than push bricks together at random, you can look at the colour distribution in the parts list beforehand and see where it makes sense to add pieces in other colours later on. A few green or black bricks change the character of a build surprisingly strongly.

A set for the wider collection

Because Freestyle sets are designed for versatility, they fit easily into other collections. The “What can I build?” tool shows which models appear when you combine these bricks with the rest of your parts. For families the case is a plus point, since tidying up causes fewer arguments. For collectors the set remains a typical example of the open approach of the nineties, when imagination counted for more than instructions.
