About LEGO Classic Building

The LEGO Classic Building theme from the 1960s consisted of sets that focused on general construction and architectural design using standard LEGO bricks. Unlike specialized themes, the Classic Building sets from this era emphasized foundational building techniques and allowed for the creation of various structures and designs. It represented one of LEGO's early efforts to promote versatile brick-based construction.
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.
