Soft Bricks are the oversized foam bricks in LEGO Education, and three sets of them are listed. 9023 Soft Brick Activity Set from 2000 pairs a few large soft bricks in red, green and blue with DUPLO bricks for sorting and matching by size. 9024 LEGO Soft Imagination Set followed in 2005, with some bricks printed with eyes and smiles. 45003 Soft Starter Set from 2013 has soft 2x2 and 2x4 bricks in red, blue, green and yellow, a few with curved tops, big enough to build walls, towers and child-sized figures.
2000 LEGO Sets
2000 was a year of transition and innovation for LEGO. The company introduced RoboRiders, Knights’ Kingdom, Life on Mars, Studios, and a Soccer/Football theme while retiring veteran designer Jens Nygaard Knudsen, creator of the minifigure. Star Wars launched its first Ultimate Collector Series sets—the X-wing Fighter (7191) and TIE Interceptor (7181)—establishing LEGO’s adult collector market. BIONICLE debuted in select regions, setting the stage for a major global launch. Recognized as 'Toy of the Century,' the LEGO brick entered the new millennium as both a cultural icon and a growing creative platform.
