About LEGO Classic Supplemental

Starting in the 1950s LEGO began individual parts sales, a practice that began with the Ferguson Tracktor in 1951. LEGO would supply dealers with wooden parts boxes and refill packs. These individual part sales would continue, at least in some markets, into the late 1950’s.
1962 LEGO Sets
In 1962, LEGO introduced one of its most important innovations—the wheel. This addition transformed LEGO from a static building toy into a dynamic system of movement. The first wheel sets (400 and 401) featured plastic hubs with rubber tires, enabling realistic vehicles and construction models. The company also expanded globally into Asia, Africa, and Australia, and established a process development lab in Billund that pioneered the switch to ABS plastic, which became standard the following year.
