LEGO® 52 Flat Tile Bricks

Description

An add-on rather than a model

There is nothing here to assemble from instructions. Instead you get 52 tile bricks, flat pieces with no studs on top that are used to finish other builds. That is a completely different building experience: you think less about a finished model and more about what you can do with smooth surfaces. No minifigures are included, and the set is aimed squarely at anyone who wants to extend their stock in a targeted way. Such additions were meant to widen what you could do with the basic box.

Two colours, three part types

Black and light grey are the only main colours, and the box holds just three different part types. That is about the shortest parts list you can imagine. It makes the set easy to take in: you see straight away which shapes are present and in what quantities. Both colours are neutral and fit into a great many models without disturbing the overall impression of the build. With 52 pieces there is enough for a small surface or for a great many single details.

What smooth surfaces are for

Tiles suit floors, roofs, roads, signs or facades, anywhere you do not want studs showing. Today they are standard in almost every collection, and this set shows that they were already sold as an extra in 1969. If you like to display your models you will appreciate the clean look. The pieces also make sensible cladding for larger builds and give them a tidier appearance overall, especially across large areas such as floors or walls.

Parts list and possibilities

This page lists all three part types with their quantities. With the “What can I build?” tool you can see which models your bricks allow once these tiles are added. For small collections in particular, smooth parts widen the options considerably, because they close up surfaces and finish details cleanly. An unassuming set becomes a useful accessory in that way, one that lifts many models. If you are thinking of buying more tiles, this gives a good impression of quantity and colour choice.
