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.
1968 LEGO Sets
1968 LEGO began phasing in yet another box design. This new design consisted entirely of “idea book”-like images on the front and back. The now familiar LEGO logo was relegated to the side of the box. In many ways it was similar to the box design used by Samsonite for several years. This was a transition year for LEGO with its change ion the new scaling we saw a number of Basic sets adapting this modern scale and older sets with smaller scales being phased out.
