Description

A box full of basics

The Bricks & More line stands for sets with no fixed model to build. This one supplies 480 pieces made up mostly of plain bricks and plates. With only 47 different part types the range is deliberately simple: lots of identical bricks and few special shapes. That is exactly what makes it interesting for children and for anyone who wants to build freely, ignoring instructions and inventing their own houses, vehicles or animals. Adults also reach for bricks like these when sketching quick ideas.

Bright and classic

Red, white, blue and yellow are the main colours, which makes this the classic primary palette of interlocking bricks. The shades are bright, easy to tell apart and suit almost anything. Young children can read shapes and colours easily, while older builders use them for models with clean blocks of colour. Because the colours are so straightforward, the set also mixes into other boxes of bricks without making the result look messy or chaotic.

Build freely, not by the book

This set sets no story and includes no minifigures. That is an invitation to decide for yourself what gets built. It makes a good foundation for a collection, since plain bricks are needed in almost every project. As a limited edition it is also a small piece of collecting history, a basic set with a special label, even though the contents are not fundamentally different from those of other boxes of standard bricks.

Parts and ideas on this page

The complete parts list with quantities and colours is on this page, so you can see at a glance which bricks appear in what numbers. The “What can I build?” tool checks which other models you could assemble from this set and the bricks in your own collection. With a basic set that opens up plenty of possibilities, because simple bricks combine with nearly every other kind of piece. That makes planning and sorting far easier.
