Description

Right at the beginning

Dating from 1949, this set is among the oldest entries in the catalogue. The abbreviation ABB stands for Automatic Binding Bricks, the name the early studded bricks went by. The 24 pieces contain only two different shapes, but four colours: white, red, yellow and a bright green. The small selection shows how lean the System still was in its early years.

More for collectors than for play

Because of its age, the set is mainly of interest to collectors and archivists today. The parts list on this page shows the contents precisely and helps you check a second-hand box. If you also want to build with the bricks, the build finder lets you see which models you can put together with them and your collection.
