About LEGO Classic Basic Set

The LEGO Classic Basic theme encompasses sets that offer a variety of standard LEGO bricks without a specific storyline or theme focus. These sets are geared towards open-ended building, allowing users to construct whatever they choose. Typically containing a mix of bricks, pieces, and sometimes simple minifigures, the Basic theme serves as a foundational kit, emphasizing the core creative and construction-oriented principles of LEGO.
1965 LEGO Sets
1965 was a growth year for LEGO. The number of people employed by LEGO at Billund reached 600. LEGO was also increasing the pace of new development. Continued sales growth for the company also meant continued expansion of its manufacturing capacity. They also developed several new elements specifically for the North American market. Beginning this year, the primary illustration on each set's box would show only models that could be built with that set's contents. Previous sets featured generic models not necessarily possible.
