LEGO® Bricks Assorted, Green

Description

A pack in one colour

Service Packs let people buy particular elements without paying for a whole set. This one contains only green bricks: no plates, no figures, no specials. What you get is plain building material in a single colour, ready for anything that is meant to be green. That is more useful than it sounds, because green bricks tend to run short in mixed collections as soon as you want more than a modest patch of lawn. Anyone who likes landscapes knows the problem and welcomes a supply that is guaranteed to fit together.

Nine kinds, 62 pieces

The 62 pieces cover nine distinct elements, so on average you get just under seven of each. That is enough quantity to fill real surfaces, such as the wall of a house or the border of a garden. The exact sizes and how many of each are included are listed in the parts list on this page, which also helps if you want to check that a second-hand pack arrived complete. It also tells you whether an online listing really includes every brick, with nothing swapped for another colour.

Ideas in green

Green means nature: meadows, bushes, hedges, trees, frogs or dragons. Bricks rather than plates let you build these upwards, for example a hedge around a garden or a small maze. You could also give roofs, vehicles or crates a green shell. If you lay mosaics from bricks, the colour can serve as a landscape background. The quantity suits a small project rather than an entire countryside, so plan accordingly. For larger surfaces, combine the pack with green plates from other sets.

Adding to what you own

If you already have plenty of bricks, the Can I build it? tool shows which sets become possible once you combine everything. The green pieces may be exactly what tips a particular set into completeness. For people collecting Service Packs the list works as a short checklist. And if you only use them for play, you will soon notice how good a single-colour stack looks, even without instructions. For younger children it is a good way in, because there is nothing to get wrong.
