About LEGO Universal Building Set

LEGO's Universal Building Sets theme was released as early as 1966 but it was not until 1973 that the Basic LEGO sets became known as Universal Building Sets. These sets were produced in two set version numbers, the first was for sets that were sold in the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia. The other version numbers, but for the same exact set with the same box artwork was released in the United States. Most, but not all sets between 1973 and 1981 were sold in both regions.
1977 LEGO Sets
In 1977, LEGO released several new sets and themes, including the LEGO City theme, which introduced models of city life such as houses, stores, and vehicles. 1977 was also the year that LEGO introduced the LEGO System, which was a standardized system of bricks and connectors that allowed for more flexible and versatile building. The LEGO System included a wide range of bricks in different colors and sizes, as well as new elements such as windows, doors, and roofs. Other notable sets and themes released by LEGO in 1977 included the LEGO Space theme, which introduced new models of spaceships and alien minifigures, and the LEGO Castle theme, which expanded upon the castle sets released in previous years.
