Description

A big box for your own ideas

At 553 pieces, set 744 is one of the larger boxes in the Universal Building Set range from LEGO®. It was released in 1980 and has no minifigures, but a great deal of material for free building. Anyone who received a box like this back then had enough bricks for houses, vehicles and buildings of considerable size. Even now the set is a good starting point for anybody who wants to begin without fixed instructions and rely on imagination.

Yellow, black, light grey and clear blue

Yellow, black and light grey are the most common colours, joined by pieces in transparent dark blue. The mix of strong primary tones and neutral grey allows for both colourful and more sober-looking builds. The see-through blue suits windows, panes or light effects on vehicles. The parts list on this page shows how many bricks of each colour are in the box, and it helps you compare the contents with your own collection.

102 kinds of part

For a building box the variety is considerable: 102 different kinds of part sit among the 553 pieces. Alongside basic bricks, there are therefore plenty of special shapes for shaping details. That makes the set versatile, but also more work to check for completeness. On Bricoria you can see every part number with its colour and quantity, so you can name the gaps in a used box and fill them deliberately instead of ordering on a hunch.

Putting the parts to work

A box of this size makes a solid foundation for any collection. With “What can I build?” you enter your bricks and see which sets could come from them, from small vehicles up to larger models. Because the set contains no figures, the fun of building takes centre stage. The mix of basic bricks and special parts can later be worked into almost any other project, whether it is a town, a railway or a free design.
