Bricks in the 700 set had no LEGO text embossed anywhere and were available in red, white, yellow, light green, and medium blue. In local retailers the 700 set did not sell particularly well and many were returned unsold to LEGO.

About Mursten Basic Set

LEGO Mursten, produced between 1949 and 1953, were the first plastic building blocks by the LEGO Group. These early sets, known as LEGO Basic Sets, included simple, hollow rectangular bricks without the modern stud-and-tube locking mechanism. Sold primarily in Denmark and a few European countries, these sets laid the groundwork for the modern LEGO system. In 1953, the Mursten evolved into "Automatic Binding Bricks," featuring an improved design that eventually led to the patented stud-and-tube system in 1958, which greatly enhanced the stability and versatility of LEGO constructions.

Basic Set consists of 6 sets that ran from 1954 to 1956. As of today, 700-12 Automatic Binding Bricks is the most valuable Basic Set set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $5,086.
