Description

The basic set, upgraded

Here “Deluxe” means a wider selection than in the plain basic set: 383 pieces give you more room to manoeuvre than a slim starter kit. You can build houses with several rooms, longer vehicles or small scenes without running short of parts at every step. For free building this is a sensible size, since it still fits into a single crate yet is enough to try out several different ideas, one after another, and everything packs away again afterwards.

A classic colour world

Red comes first, followed by white, blue and yellow. These colours shaped the early System sets, and you recognise the style of the era at once: clean surfaces, no prints, no frills. Building with them produces models that please precisely because of their simplicity. If you are putting together a collection of early sets, this one gives you a dependable range of basic colours that suits nearly every other box from the 1960s.

25 types, many repeats

With 383 pieces and only 25 different types, many bricks appear several times over. That is practical when building, because you can raise walls and surfaces evenly without hunting for replacements. There are no minifigures; the set is designed purely for construction. The parts list on this page shows how the quantity is spread across the individual types, so you can judge which building style your stock supports best before you start sorting.

Easy to combine

As a basic set, its contents fit most other sets from the same period. The “What can I build?” tool can check which further models you could assemble from your mixed stock once you add these parts. That pays off particularly if you already own several small sets and want to turn them into larger projects. The set would also make a good gift for someone who wants to start with classic bricks and has no particular model in mind.
