Description

A brick collection, not a single model

Unlike most LEGO® sets, 40357 doesn't build one specific model but instead provides a collection of 201 basic bricks. The 90 different shapes cover common bricks, plates and a handful of extra pieces suited to open building rather than a fixed design. It's designed to work with IKEA's BYGGLEK storage boxes, whose lid doubles as a building plate, so pieces can be built straight from the box. The parts list on this page shows exactly which basic shapes are included.

A neutral, mixable palette

White, tan, red and green make up a restrained, easy-to-combine palette suited to free building rather than a single themed look. Among the 90 unique parts are mostly bricks and plates in various sizes, with very few pieces tied to a specific theme. That's what makes the collection so flexible: the parts mix easily with almost any other LEGO® set without clashing in colour or shape. The parts list breaks down exactly which brick sizes and tones are included.

Built for open-ended play

Because the set doesn't follow a fixed model or instructions, it works particularly well for open, independent building. Both children and adults can use the 201 pieces for small houses, vehicles or abstract shapes, adding more basic bricks over time as needed. Paired with a BYGGLEK box, it becomes the start of a growing, always-accessible brick collection rather than a one-off build. Anyone short on ideas can check the parts list for a sense of what the included shapes allow.

Who this set suits

At 201 pieces, 40357 is a sensible addition for anyone building up a general LEGO® brick collection rather than buying another themed set. It suits households that already own other sets and want to broaden their part variety, as well as anyone who simply enjoys building without instructions. The parts list on this page makes it easy to check the included shapes against an existing collection.
