Description

A small box with free choice

With just over 300 pieces this is a mid-sized box for anyone who simply wants to start building. It has no fixed model to copy, only bricks for houses, vehicles or flights of fancy, depending on what occurs to you. The instructions offer examples, but any idea can be altered freely. The parts list on this page shows which shapes and colours come together, and how much variety the set really contains.

Red, grey, black and clear

Red bricks make walls and roofs, while light grey and black suit foundations, roads and wheels. There are also clear parts, probably meant for windows and windscreens. That gives a strong mix in which buildings and vehicles look equally good. With just four main colours each model feels coherent, and you get a clear sense of which brick is best suited to which job as you build. The clear pieces break up the surfaces and give models more structure.

69 shapes, plenty of ideas

Sixty-nine different part types is a decent range for 302 pieces. Alongside the basic bricks there are enough special shapes to build roofs, windows or chassis. That makes the box interesting for builders who prefer to design for themselves rather than follow instructions. Because no minifigures are included, attention stays on the construction itself, and each model stands on its own as a building or a vehicle. If you later add figures from other sets, extending the scene is simple.

An addition to your collection

Today the set works as a historical item and as a source of standard bricks. Add it to your collection and the “What can I build?” tool will show which other sets your parts can make. The parts list is also useful for second-hand boxes, where clear parts and special shapes are the pieces most likely to be missing, and easy to overlook without a proper comparison. It also helps with sorting, since you see at once which shapes appear several times.
