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.

In 1962, LEGO expanded its international presence by introducing its products in Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Morocco, and Australia. This year also marked the granting of LEGO’s original Danish patent, which was first filed in 1958. Several new elements and colors were introduced, including black bricks and LEGO plates.
