Description

Supplies for the classroom

This pack was meant for teachers and educational institutions that wanted to keep their Team Challenge set complete. Instead of a new model it holds individual pieces that tend to go missing when groups work together, or that are needed in extra numbers. The name describes the idea: several teams solve tasks with the same stock of parts. A service pack acts as a refill, so a lesson does not stall because one connecting element has disappeared.

A surprising number of part types

The ratio of 288 pieces to 89 types stands out. On average each part appears only three or four times, which points to a wide range of special elements. In terms of colour, black leads, followed by light grey, blue and yellow. The yellow and blue pieces add some brightness to an otherwise technical selection and make it easier to tell assemblies apart at a glance. There are no minifigures in the box; it is all about building parts.

Useful for your own parts box

Packs like this are interesting outside the classroom too. Special elements often hide in sets that are long out of production, and if you need one particular piece you may sometimes find it faster here than in a large bulk set. The parts list on this page shows every type with quantity and colour. Compare it with your own stock and you will see straight away which parts you still lack or already have twice, before you order anything.

Turning parts into ideas

If you own the pack, add it to your collection in the What can I build? tool and let it suggest combinations with your other pieces. The mix of black and light grey suits machines, vehicles or robots, while blue and yellow work as accents. A supplementary pack becomes a starting point for creations of your own, reaching well beyond its original role in the classroom and fitting whatever personal building project you have in mind.
