About LEGO Classic

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.
1968 LEGO Sets
In 1968, LEGO introduced a new box design, featuring "idea book"-style images on both the front and back, while the now-familiar LEGO logo was moved to the side of the packaging. This design was similar to the approach Samsonite had used for several years. As LEGO continued its transition to a larger and more standardized scale, many Basic sets were updated to reflect this modern scale, while older sets with smaller scales were phased out.
