Description

A seasonal tub of bricks

Seasonal sets like this one were only sold around a particular occasion, here Halloween. Instead of a cardboard box you get a bucket in which the bricks sit loose and into which you can tidy them away afterwards. That makes it an easy gift and a free-building set with no fixed plan. At 256 pieces the amount is modest, so the contents stretch to several small builds rather than one big model, which suits the theme very well.

Orange and black set the tone

As you would expect, orange and black dominate, with yellow and white added. Those four colours are plenty for pumpkins, bats, ghosts and little haunted houses. With 50 different part types the selection is solid: next to standard bricks there are a few shapes that help you suggest faces, wings or decoration. The strong colours also make the pieces useful outside the autumn season, for example as bright accents in other models.

One figure for the scene

A single minifigure is enough to give the bucket a lead character, perhaps a ghost hunter or the resident of the house you build. A bigger play scenario would need more people, but as an eye-catcher in an autumn display it does the job. Collectors like seasonal sets because they were around only briefly and bring an unusual theme into collections that are otherwise full of castles and towns from the late nineties.

Cataloguing and reusing the parts

Since the contents arrive loose in a bucket, checking that a used copy is complete matters even more. The full parts list on this page works as your checklist. The What can I build? tool also shows which other sets can be rebuilt wholly or partly from the same bricks, so you can decide whether to keep the bucket as an autumn project or fold its pieces into your general collection. Either works, because the bricks are not tied to one model.
