Description

A kit, not a finished model

The Freestyle line set out to encourage children to build freely. The FreeStyle Box follows that idea: it holds bricks and a figure but no single model to put together from instructions. That is exactly its appeal. You get a tub to rummage through, sort and experiment with, and every version ends up looking different. As an introduction to free building, a selection like this is ideal because it does not overwhelm. That is valuable because children discover for themselves which parts fit together and which connections hold.

180 pieces, 45 shapes

With 45 different shapes the range is wider than in sets made almost entirely of basic bricks. That leaves room for windows, wheels, roofs or small decorative parts. The distribution shows that standard bricks and a few specialist parts are both included. The parts list on this page sorts everything by colour and shape, so you can see what the box really holds and what you need for your own ideas. The result is a good mix: enough standard bricks for sturdy walls and enough special shapes for small details of your own.

Classic primary colours

Red, yellow, blue and white are the colours people associate with nineties bricks. They are bold and easy to mix. White serves as a neutral backdrop, while the other three bring life to any model. Even alongside bricks from other sets the colours stay coherent, which makes the box a handy supplement if you are short of individual primary colours. If you already own other sets, you will soon notice that these colours slot into existing builds without a clash.

One figure, plenty of imagination

A single minifigure is enough to bring a build to life: it gets a house, a car or a workplace. After that, "What can I build?" helps by showing which catalogue sets your parts can make up. Such a comparison is especially worthwhile for mixed collections, because it reveals hidden possibilities that would hardly be noticed without a database. On top of that, the minifigure serves as a yardstick and shows how large or small your creations will really turn out.
