About LEGO Classic Basic Set

The LEGO Classic Basic theme encompasses sets that offer a variety of standard LEGO bricks without a specific storyline or theme focus. These sets are geared towards open-ended building, allowing users to construct whatever they choose. Typically containing a mix of bricks, pieces, and sometimes simple minifigures, the Basic theme serves as a foundational kit, emphasizing the core creative and construction-oriented principles of LEGO.
1969 LEGO Sets
1969 saw the launch of the DUPLO system, introducing double-sized bricks for preschoolers and opening a new age group for LEGO play. The company’s workforce surpassed 800 employees as sales and exports climbed. Trains advanced with new red spoked wheels, and LEGO Futura—an R&D division focused on concept development—was established in Billund. By this time, LEGO’s shift from cellulose acetate to ABS plastic was nearly complete, ensuring stronger and more colorfast bricks.
