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
1968 LEGO began phasing in yet another box design. This new design consisted entirely of “idea book”-like images on the front and back. The now familiar LEGO logo was relegated to the side of the box. In many ways it was similar to the box design used by Samsonite for several years. This was a transition year for LEGO with its change ion the new scaling we saw a number of Basic sets adapting this modern scale and older sets with smaller scales being phased out.
