700-12 LEGO Automatic Binding Bricks
  • Automatic Binding Bricks thumbnail
The first Automatic Binding Brick sets were known as Gaveæske, Gift Sets. which later became just LEGO. This was the very first set for sale, part of the 700 series and was only sold in Denmark. 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 is based on the original Automatic Binding Bricks from 1949. In 1952 the LEGO Group decided that they needed a more descriptive name for their brick sets and added the phrase LEGO Mursten, which translates to 'LEGO bricks' to the existing and new boxes, and in 1953 the sets were renamed simply LEGO Mursten.

Basic Set consists of 6 sets that ran from 1954 to 1956.
