Description
Free building as the idea
Brick boxes differ from model sets in that they set no fixed instructions. The XXL Box is one of these and supplies material from which children and adults build their own houses, vehicles or flights of fancy. The Bricks & More label points in the same direction: a colourful stock that invites experimenting, without having to work through a booklet page by page first. It matters less to be perfect than to enjoy experimenting, and that is exactly what makes boxes of this kind a reliable classic in the playroom.
1,600 pieces in primary colours
At 1,600 pieces the box ranks among the more generous brick collections. Its main colours of red, yellow, blue and white are the classic primaries, easy to combine. Only 40 different part types means many bricks are present in quantity, which helps when you are making larger surfaces and walls. There are no minifigures in the box. That is an advantage because you get a consistent colour effect, for example a red roof on white walls or a blue and yellow vehicle with a clear outline.
Who it suits
It makes a good start for children who enjoy building without rules, and equally a top-up for parents whose collection could use a large basic stock. Tinkerers planning landscapes or big buildings will welcome the quantity of simple bricks. Because the set dictates no particular model, the build stays flexible, and the parts mix freely with those from other sets. In the end it remains a flexible set that mixes with any other, and whose bricks will still turn up in entirely new builds years from now.
Parts list and ideas
The complete parts list with colours and quantities appears on this page, useful for checking a second-hand copy or finding individual elements. With the What Can I Build tool you can discover which sets you could assemble from the box contents and the rest of your stock. With such a large number of parts, that look is especially worthwhile. Precisely because the stock is so big, it can help to sort the bricks by colour beforehand, so that nothing has to be searched for at length while building.
