LEGO 1967 / Classic Sets

The LEGO Classic theme comprises sets that offer a broad assortment of bricks and pieces in various colors and shapes. Unlike many other LEGO themes that revolve around specific narratives or characters, the Classic theme emphasizes open-ended creativity, allowing builders to construct whatever they envision. These sets serve as foundational building kits and include various LEGO elements and parts in a variety of packaging.

1967 LEGO Sets

In 1967, LEGO standardized its model scale, moving from the 1:87 Town Plan format to the larger 2×2 wheel scale used in Train and Model Maker sets. This unification set the stage for the modern LEGO System and the eventual minifigure scale of the late 1970s. New innovations included black rubber tires, the first hinge elements, and LEGO’s earliest promotional tie-ins—six exclusive sets released through Kraft Velveeta. The phasing out of Town Plan and 1:87 vehicles marked the end of LEGO’s early era and the beginning of a consistent global design standard.
