LEGO® 2 x 4 Red Plates
This is not a model but a pure parts pack: 100 red plates in the 2 x 4 size. It came out in 2000 as part of the Bulk Bricks range for builders who need a large supply of one specific element.

Description
One element, a hundred times
The parts list could hardly be shorter, because there is only one kind of piece: a flat plate with two by four studs, in red. There are 100 of them in total, which is more than most small models ever use. No building instructions for a finished model come with it, since the set was always meant as a bulk lot. If you are looking for a parts list, you will be done quickly, and can spend your time thinking about how the plates might be used.
What red plates are good for
Plates are the backbone of many builds. As the floor of a scene, a roof, a link between two layers of bricks or a base for a display, they quietly do the work that keeps a model stable. In red they stand out, which suits fire engines, barns, railway platforms, tiled roofs or bright mosaic surfaces. Because every piece is the same size, even large areas can be covered neatly, without gaps and without any difference in colour.
Top-ups rather than a fresh start
Packs of this kind are at their best when a collection already exists. If a bigger town of yours lacks a dozen red roof plates, or you want to rebuild an old model where that colour has run short, a bag of 100 is a handy reserve. With a bit of planning there may even be enough left over to supply several projects at once, so you do not have to hunt down individual pieces every single time.
Checking what else is possible
On this page you will find the complete parts list with colour and quantity. If you already own the set or are thinking of buying it, the “What can I build?” tool helps you further: it compares your collection with known models and shows what can be put together using the red plates alongside other parts. A plain bag can quickly turn into an idea for your next project, and a few minutes of browsing are often enough.
