Description

A tub full of basic bricks

This set provides no fixed instructions for a particular motif. Instead you receive a tub of just over a thousand bricks to develop ideas of your own. Children who enjoy building without a brief find plenty of room to play, while adults use tubs like this as a supplement to their collection. There are no minifigures, so buildings grow without predefined residents and without a set plan, entirely according to what you decide to make. The tub is therefore a good way to start a collection or to refill an existing one.

Few types, large quantities

Only 38 different part types are spread across 1,002 pieces. That means plenty of identical basic bricks, suitable for big walls, towers or surfaces, and only a few special single parts. Building stays straightforward, and you can start quickly without much sorting. The parts list on this page gives the quantities in detail, which helps when planning larger constructions, because you know in advance how far a given brick will stretch.

Red leads, other colours follow

Red is the main colour and gives the tub its name. Alongside it come white, blue and yellow: classic primaries that combine well. A red house with white windows and a blue roof works just as easily as a simple vehicle. Because the colour range stays small, models look unified and are quick to sort into groups, which makes tidying up noticeably easier for children after a long session. A limited palette also keeps a build looking tidy.

Combining and building on

The tub fits many other sets of the same era and mixes easily with your own bricks. With “What can I build?” on Bricoria you can find out which sets your stock could produce, even when only part of it comes from this box. Plain basics in red, white, blue and yellow are useful in many models, so the supply does not become redundant after the first building project. You can always return to it later for something new.
