Description
A bucket full of shapes
What stands out is the variety: 92 different part types among 517 pieces. That is a lot more diversity than you would expect from a bucket of basics. Alongside standard bricks there are special shapes that make models more personal and more detailed. If you tend to get bored with kits that keep asking for the same piece, this offers more to tinker with. The name Freestyle is the whole idea: build without rules, with whatever the bucket gives you.
Two figures to tell a story
Unlike some other buckets, this one includes 2 minifigures. That changes how you play, because you are not only making a house or a vehicle but can put residents and drivers straight inside. Two figures are enough for a small scene, perhaps a meeting or a drive to work. Whether displayed or played with, your own designs gain a sense of scale and a story that bricks alone rarely provide.
A bright mix
Red, yellow, blue and white are the main colours, which makes up the brand's classic basic palette. White suits walls, red and yellow work for roofs, vehicles and playhouses, and blue is good for accents and water. Because these four shades are so familiar, the bricks mix easily with other collections in standard colours. Children cope quickly with the colour mix and build in bright tones without the result looking chaotic.
Parts list and ideas
All 92 types are listed with quantities in the parts list further down this page. That makes it easier to check a used bucket, since with so many types something can easily be missing. If you already own it, the “What can I build?” tool suggests models that work with your pieces, even without instructions. It gives you a quick way in when you are sitting in front of a heap of loose bricks and are not sure what to do.
