Description

A set for arranging your own patterns

Rather than building towards one fixed model, this DOTS set is made up mostly of small square tiles that can be arranged freely into frames, coasters or other flat surfaces. With 1,096 pieces, there is plenty of material for several different patterns, since the tiles can be rearranged into new combinations at any time. That makes it a set for builders who enjoy decorating as much as, or more than, constructing. Because the tiles can be rearranged as often as you like, the set stays useful for further projects well beyond the first finished pattern.

Just 86 different part types

With only 86 unique part types among 1,096 pieces, the range of shapes is much narrower than in most other sets, but individual tile shapes repeat very often as a result. That fits a patterns set well, since it is exactly that large supply of tiles in a few basic shapes that makes free arrangement possible in the first place. Anyone after a large stack of one colour for a specific pattern will find it here. That focus on a small number of frequently repeated shapes sets the set clearly apart from typical build sets with many different specialised pieces.

An unusual four-colour palette

Black, white, lavender and coral make up a fairly unusual, decorative colour combination for a LEGO® set, well suited to modern-looking patterns. The strong black-and-white contrast is softened by the two lighter accent colours, lavender and coral. The parts list on this page shows exactly how many tiles of each colour are included in the set. That makes planning a pattern of your own much easier, since you can check in advance whether the available quantity of a colour will cover the area you have in mind.

Tiles for further DOTS projects

Because the set is made up mainly of individual tiles rather than specialised pieces, it combines easily with other DOTS sets to build larger patterns or add new colours. The parts list is a quick way to check how many tiles of a given colour are available before planning a new pattern project. That makes the set a solid addition for anyone who already owns other DOTS sets and wants to widen their range of available colours.
