About 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.

Basic Set consists of 23 sets that ran from 1963 to 2016. As of today, 080 Basic Building Set with Train is the most valuable Basic Set set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $3,027.
