About LEGO Classic Wooden Box Set
LEGO Classic Wooden Box Sets were among the first construction sets introduced by the company. They typically contained a variety of bricks and, in some cases, baseplates or other elements. The bricks in these sets were made of plastic, but the packaging was wooden, reflecting the company's transition from its roots as a wooden toy manufacturer to a primarily plastic one. These wooden boxes are now considered rare collector's items, representing an early era in LEGO's history.
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.
