Description

An educational set from Dacta

Dacta was the education arm that prepared bricks for classroom and workshop use. This set belongs to that world and shows that bricks were meant for understanding technology as well as for play. At 487 pieces it is not a giant box but a material for a group testing builds together. Picking it up today gives you a glimpse of how technology was taught in classrooms decades ago and what children experimented with back then.

Dark colours, technical look

Black, light grey, red and blue define the set. The palette looks sober and suits a control centre where switches, housings and connections take centre stage. The 96 different part types suggest many special elements that a plain basic box would not contain. Open the parts list on this page and you can see which elements come from the Technic world and which from the regular brick range, and judge how well they will complement your existing collection.

Four minifigures at work

Four minifigures are included. They give the technical build a scale and a role, for instance as operators at the centre or as observers. For an educational set that is not a given and shows that play and construction were designed together. Collectors will find a piece of the lesser-seen education range that sits well beside eighties Technic models and can even spark a conversation about school and technology.

Reusing the parts

Technic elements are in demand because they can be used in so many ways. Try "What can I build?" to see which models your collection allows once you add the parts of this set. The parts list also lets you check a second-hand copy for completeness quickly and track down any missing pieces precisely. This is especially handy with Technic parts, because axles, gears and connectors turn up again in completely different models, such as vehicles, gearboxes or cranes that you may design yourself later on.
