• Lego Basic Just Bricks

  
  By A2KMJ30WUCEO83 on 2007-03-10
  This large collection of lego bricks is to my mind the "classic collection". Children of all ages (and adults) can build ships, planes, houses -- whatever the mind imagines -- in a variety of colors. The bricks come in a nice sturdy plastic container for convenient storage.
  
  While Lego has gone on to develop a wide range of other products, for those who want a good starter kit and bricks not specific to any particular image or character, this is a great product.
  
  

• Good set to expand your kid's collection

  
  By A22E1C8SVNCJXV on 2007-01-10
  This is a good set to expand an existing collection. We added the house builder's set and the large building mat, which worked out well. I do miss the old, old days when Lego sets were not all theme-related. A good basic set.
  
  

• WONDERFUL ! ! !

  FINALLY - a way to buy just the Lego bricks to build using your imagination. I only have one, but no more "kits" for me!! Even the Lego company on line doesn't have this one! Highly recommended!
  
  

• Buy THIS product! It's what you've been looking for!

  
  By A3SRBWMV1435D9 on 2007-05-18
  This set of lego's surpassed what I was expecting! There is great building possibility and potential with this set. When you buy similar lego packages it states that you get ... say... 850 pieces. Most of those pieces are the little itty-bitty one (tiny 1/4" square) or two-piece (tiny 1/2" rectangle)lego's that are not that useful for building anything. This product has the bigger bricks so your child can actually BUILD something. I have searched and searched for a product like this and I could not even find it at the LEGO site! If you are looking for free play IE not buying a kit that only builds one thing, this is the one for you! This seller was great too. I had no problems and the order shipped quickly. Would buy from again.
  
  
• lego set for grandkids
  By A3FGHMSLE882WC on 2007-01-15
  My grandchildren loved the Basic Lego set and are enjoying it. However, because it was purchased through a vendor that uses Amazon, I was not entitled to the free shipping. I thought this was unfair.
  
  
• great set
  By AWFXMBVOSD1ED on 2007-11-13
  This is a great Lego set. None of the tiny one and two stud pieces that are almost useless. The smallest piece is a four-stud brick. And it came with a plastic storage box that I wasn't even expecting! A great toy AND a great value!
  
  
• Delayed shipping, but product is what it is
  By AX63AYMFXRMJO on 2007-02-08
  I did pay a lot of money (more than purchase price) to have this item expedited. It didn't show up in time. However, the company made good by returning a few of the shipping dollars, and the product is what it is, without the "themes" you have to purchase in stores. The experience -- other than the delay -- was fine.
  
  
• Spectacular
  By A1HKKMUJ36E3KM on 2007-04-04
  Used this in a college class, believe it or not. While this is not important to the review of the product, I just want to say this product arrived within three days of my order. I hadn't even received the email confirmation yet! I was so impressed, I ordered a second set and got the same service!!! This was the best service ever received from any amazon third party vendor in ten years!!!
  
  
• Nice that it's just the blocks
  By A3CN9CCJUNIPKT on 2008-01-02
  I like that this is a package of just Lego bricks, and not all the fancy prefab cars, house, people, etc., that most people think of as Legos nowadays. Personally, I think the more fancy you make the Lego sets, the less they stimulate imagination -- just having geometric blocks and building with those seems like pure creative thought to me.
  
  That being said, it's worth pointing out that these are *small* basic Legos (ie, the connecting dots are the smallest size). Does anyone know where we could find a comparable basic set of the larger-bore size?
  
  
• Fantastic and Great Price
  By A1VV5NV6I20OKX on 2007-12-28
  We bought two sets for our son for Christmas, and the total is perfect, and the best bang for your $. The bricks are all big and easy to build with and there are enough to build many buildings and anything your imagination thinks of. Also bought a set of plates to build on. Probably did not need the biggest 16x16 one--almost too big and does not fit into the box when we clean up.
  
  We also bought a small star wars lego set, and had a starter set with a window or two, and were dismayed to see how tiny the sets were when disassembled (even though they had many pieces). The bricks are definitely the way to go. I was worried about lack of windows and doors, but they are not missed at all.
  
  
  
• Excellent!
  By A2MTRG01ILRM7F on 2007-12-27
  My son really likes having legos where he gets to decide what he builds and he has a lot of different sizes and colors of pieces. the handy plastic box it came in is a great bonus, the price was reasonable, and it shipped promptly.
  
  
• Legos--Just Bricks
  By A24O9TL3QXTKG8 on 2007-12-28
  This is a very nice set of just bricks--no extra "fancy" pieces. The price was much cheaper than purchasing bulk bricks at the lego website.
  If your child likes to build, this is the set for you.
  
  
• wonderful
  By A25SOQXCFTWX8R on 2007-12-29
  I have a son heavily into legos. He wanted more basic pieces and I found this. This was definitely worth the money. Excellent collection to have. It came in a nice plastic bin with see through lid. He got it for Christmas and was very happy! Just as happy as when he saw the Lego Castle!!
  
  
• good
  By A2JB46JK7XQBL4 on 2007-12-31
  This is a great starter set. My boys have been having a lot of fun building w/ them. I also love that they come as just the plain old set, instead of having to build a certain theme. It lets the kids be creative!
  
  
• Lego Heaven
  By A1E64L5DVQ1KSQ on 2007-12-31
  Bought as a present for friends. They been looking for general legos like the ones they had as a kid and these were exactly what they remember. As soon as the received them they were building with them. Hours of fun and good for children of ages (including adults).
  
  
• More is never enough
  By ASQAPIRGDJHX5 on 2008-01-05
  My grandsons have been Lego fans as long as I can remember. They actually travel with a large container of Legos. We added to their collection at Christmas with this product and they were thrilled. While they visited us, they built reinforced castles from opposing warlords and had huge battles right on our family room floor. If imagination is educational (can anyone argue with that?) this is a great thing for kids. Beats the heck out of the thumb workout they would get from the video stuff.
  
  
• Lego 4+ Basic Bulk Set
  By ATHD9KHUGV12Z on 2008-01-18
  Quite a lot of building blocks. Enough to keep a child's imagination going for hours. Strong parts, bright colors and many different shapes are great.
  
  
• Great assortment of legos!
  By A30Q5JUJULYNV8 on 2008-03-13
  This was exactly like I expected. You can't find a general mix of legos anywhere. They're all kits. These aren't the small legos either. This will be great for our 3 1/2 year old engineer minded son. We also bought the set of lego people and wheels. I'm sure we'll be adding more soon enough. Great buy...you can't beat it anywhere, even with shipping.
  
  
• SO much fun...and I don't even have a kid
  By A3JH7KN50NCN5I on 2008-05-26
  I admit it: I don't even have a child, I'm just a 20-year-old who really enjoys playing with Legos when I'm looking to procrastinate (which is to say, basically all the time...and I highly recommend it!). Having said that, on to the review...
  
  This kit is ideal for those looking for a good assortment of pieces in a variety of colors and shapes, and there's a whole lot of them included as well (but, don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to expand your collection indefinitely). The other great thing about this kit is that it's basically a "blank canvas" that has you rely on your imagination (rather than a themed set with a movie-tie).
  
  In short, lots of fun!
