Description

Basic bricks for the group

This set comes from the Educational range of LEGO® and is filed under the Universal Building Set. Basic sets like this were offered for schools and childcare settings, so that several children could build with the same material. Accordingly there is no fixed model, just a supply of standard bricks for freeform constructions. It is a set that does not tell a story but invites you to build one yourself.

Colours and part mix

The four main colours are red, yellow, white and blue. That is the classic brick palette, which combines with almost anything. With 26 part types among 185 pieces the set consists mostly of standard bricks and plates, topped up with simple shapes. That makes it a dependable foundation: you have many identical parts, so even larger walls and surfaces work without gaps. Put differently, there are few surprises in the box, and that is exactly the point of a basic set.

Who the set suits

For children it is an uncomplicated invitation to build, for adults mainly a parts set. If you plan buildings of your own and need many standard bricks in basic colours, you will find a solid amount here. As a collectable the basic set is a period piece from the early nineties and shows what the educational range looked like then: simple, sturdy and without extras. As nothing in the box is out of the ordinary, everything mixes easily with other stock without standing out. Beyond that, it makes a good gift for a child who is just starting out and has no bricks yet.

Parts list and building on

The complete parts list on this page helps you check a second-hand set. With the “What can I build?” tool you see which other sets your stock could put together. Because the bricks are so general, they fit into almost any project, and it is worth looking for sets with a similar composition. A short list like this is also pleasantly clear when you take stock of your own collection.
