Description

People as the subject

This set puts neither a machine nor a building at the centre, but a family. That is unusual and makes it a good example of how play worlds used to be built from bricks: the figures were built by hand rather than included as ready-made parts. With 94 pieces in 24 types it stays small and goes together quickly, and each person is made from only a handful of bricks. Nobody needs special experience or many unusual parts to build it, only some patience with the fitting together.

Red, black, white and blue

The colours are plain but well chosen. Red and blue can be read as clothing, black and white as details or background. Exactly which type is meant for what is shown by the parts list on this page, which gives each type with its colour and quantity. That lets you see how a small stock of bricks is divided between several people, and check whether any colours are still missing from your own collection.

Made for play

A set like this is not a display piece but an addition to other models. The family belongs in a house, on a street or next to a car, and brings the scene to life. Anyone collecting older sets will find a rare variant here that needs neither a vehicle nor a building. Because the piece count is low, it also suits shorter building sessions and works as an introduction for younger children.

Building on with the bricks

The individual bricks are standard shapes that can be reused in many other models. The "What can I build?" tool on this page shows which models become possible when you add these parts to your own collection. The parts list also helps if you want to rebuild individual figures in other colours or extend the family with further people, without having to buy another complete set first. A few additional bricks in the same colours are usually all it takes.
