Description

Siblings with a different label

Put the two tubs side by side and the family resemblance is obvious: 842 pieces here, 845 there, each with 91 part types and the same main colours. The difference lies mainly in the anniversary name, which refers to another occasion. Both belong to the Freestyle range, which encourages building without a fixed plan. That way the same basic offer could be sold under its own name for different markets or promotions.

More choice than quantity

With 91 part types the tub gives more variety than the simple bulk tubs of 1998, which contain only ten shapes. In return the total quantity is a little smaller. Blue, yellow, red and white keep the palette classic. If you like building houses with roofs and windows, or vehicles with accessories, you will find more options here than in a tub full of plain standard bricks, even though the piece count stays modest.

Play, rebuild, expand

The set suits children who want to build freely and collectors looking for material for their own models. There are no minifigures, so lively scenes need figures from other sets. The tub is not really a display piece; its value lies in rebuilding and carrying on. Because the parts mix well with other collections, the usefulness grows with every further set you add, and a tub like this tends to stay in circulation for many years.

Parts list and comparison

The parts list below shows all 91 part types with colour and quantity. If you buy the tub second-hand, you can use it to check completeness and to compare against the Silver Tub. The “What can I build?” tool also tells you which other sets become possible with your bricks once this tub is in your collection, and what you would still need to pick up for another model.
