Description

An assortment, not a single model

As with the whole Freestyle line, there is no single showpiece model here. The box instead provides 606 pieces spread over 90 different types. That is a respectable mix: enough standard bricks to fill larger surfaces, and enough special shapes that creations do not have to be plain blocks. Building without instructions gives you the freedom to try houses, vehicles or entirely invented constructions, and to rebuild them again and again.

The colours at a glance

Red, white, blue and yellow are the main colours in the box. They are strong basic shades that combine easily and suit vehicles, buildings and play scenes especially well. Because the palette stays small, results look tidy and clear quickly. If you want finer shades, you can add bricks from other sets later on. The exact split of colours and parts is shown in the list further down this page, with every element named.

No figures, but plenty of room

Minifigures are not part of the contents. For a set that focuses on pure building that is not unusual, but it does mean you will need to bring your own characters for role play. In return, none of the box is taken up by people, and everything is given over to bricks. It is a sensible split for children who enjoy constructing and for adults who want to grow a stock of standard parts. Afterwards, you can take it all apart again.

Where it fits and how to reuse it

At 606 pieces, the Multibox sits in the middle size range. It is play material rather than a display piece, and today it appeals mainly to collectors and people who reuse bricks. If you already own the parts, or are thinking of buying a second-hand copy, the “What can I build?” tool helps with planning: it shows which sets can be put together from the contents of the box and the rest of your collection.
