LEGO 2009 / Bricks and More Sets

In 2009 LEGO released 15 Bricks and More sets. The largest Bricks and More set from 2009 was 5589 LEGO Giant Box with a piece count of 1600 and a retail price of $59.99.

The LEGO Bricks and More theme, which was active from around 2006 to 2014, was a successor to the earlier FreeStyle and ake and Create themes. The primary goal of the Bricks and More theme was to provide sets that were centered around basic building. Rather than focusing on specialized pieces or intricate themed models, Bricks and More emphasized open-ended creativity with more generic LEGO bricks and simple building concepts.
