About Creator Bucket

Creator Buckets were the tubs of loose bricks sold under the Creator name from 2001 to 2005, when Creator was LEGO's home for free building. Each came in a plastic bucket or tub that kept the bricks once the building was done, usually with an idea book of models to try, and many were themed around vehicles, animals or buildings and shops.

Bucket consists of 37 sets that ran from 2001 to 2005. As of today, 4696 Blue Bucket is the most valuable Bucket set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $522.
