Side by Side Comparison of: LEGO

A True classic! This Lego set is perfect for beginners. We just started diving into the world of Lego's and this set includes several sets that you can choose to build ex. ghost, flower, farm etc. or you can just build it like you want to. They come in bags separated by color and it has a large variety of different types of Lego's. The price is extremely reasonable and I am considering buying it again just because the huge Lego container that it comes in is very sturdy and will be worth it for more Lego's that we purchase in the future! Very happy with this buy.

The old LEGO sets from "back in the day" have gone by the way side because everything with LEGO is a theme or a set that has a specific character or purpose to a movie, tv show, or comic book. That is why I LOVE this CLASSIC Creative Brick Box. It has a variety of colors, shapes, bricks, etc. and there isn't a book of "this is how you put it together". This is a perfect way to find the Master Builder in your child. It has been a lot of fun to put the electronic devices down and spend some time just being creative. LEGOs of any kind help with the fine motor skills all kids need-- but I have seen this CLASSIC Creative Brick Box set also give my children a chance to grow and expand their mental world. They have improved their problem solving skills as well as just allowed them to have fun without having to follow directions or have a failed project.

If you're looking for a great kit of classic blocks with a nice selection of more specialized blocks to get you started or build on your existing collection, look no further. Good selection of blocks in every color of the rainbow and a variety of shapes and sizes. Includes a booklet with a few project ideas that were easy enough for my 4 year old to complete with little assistance. The tool for separating pieces has proven to be very helpful. My son is particularly happy with the selection of wheels and eyes... he's been busy creating vehicles with faces and loving it! You just can't go wrong with Lego. :)

Seems like Lego's are all a specific kit lately, bat mobile, etc, with custom parts. Too complicated for a 5 year old in my opinion.
This bucket however, my 5 year old plays with for hours on end. I added a large 10"x10" lego mat for $10ish and won't look back.
The parts give you plenty of wheels and various unique pieces to keep the little builders busy.
No people though, wish it came with a few generic characters.
Will absolutely buy other 'creative' series boxes. Plenty of room in the box to add more Lego's later too.

This set comes with a variety of 484 Legos. They are separated into bags and placed into this yellow plastic bin. Once you open the bags, it would probably take up one fifth of the bin. Do not think this bin is coming filled to the top, that would be hundreds of dollars. The bin itself would be great for storage if you needed. I am planning on saving it for their Lego themed birthday party to set up paper plates or silverware in.

This is a classic set nostalgic to the bins I had as a child. I am a fan of Lego in general, I like their kits because they allow my 5 and 3 year old to create trains, cars, etc that look cool and are fun to play with. These classic kits allow for their Imaginationon to run wild as they dig in.

This set came with 35 colors. I was happy with the assortment of pieces, some of the smooth finishing pieces, ramps, dot pieces, grated pieces. It had a selection of wheels and hubs, tiny size and medium. Without the tires you can create train wheels. There were several small black windows, without shutters or panes. And one tiny arch window that is pictured on the front. There's also the smooth dot eyeballs. This kit contained a few base plates, the largest was 8x16. Also a brick separator, which is really cool device so you don't have to use your teeth.

Right now we are getting these classics sets to bulk up my kids collection for free building. I do like this medium set for the variety it contains. I have read that you shouldn't pay more than ten cents per Lego (accounting for differences in variety of sizes). This kit retails for $30, so with that little thought in mind it is a great price and variety.

I also recommend the the $20 Lego classic bright box. It contained great colors, and didn't have wheels or windows- mostly building bricks.

if you are just getting started with Legos- buy it. If you need a gift for a Lego lover- buy it. If you want to add on to your/your child's collection- buy it. Getting more Legos can never be wrong, especially when they build your child's imagination and keep them busy for hours!

My kids are 4 and 5 years old and love them. They are VERY small legos, so be warned that they can be a choking hazard. My kids love this set which has amazing proprietary and universal parts.The box makes it look like you are getting a huge box full but when opened it's very obvious like you've been cheated, or at least it makes you feel that way. Similar to buying a big back of potato chips. I hope that analogy is helpful. Cheers

You get what you expect. The Lego bricks are well built, and there's great variety. There are not many matching pieces, so it isn't great for games where building multiple copies of the same thing are required.My one complaint is the size of the container. It's almost twice as big as it needs to be to hold the pieces that come with it. It's great if you have other Lego bricks you want to add to it, but as a standalone set, the box is unnecessary.

We all love Legos in our house. This comes with a good amount of Legos, but it would be nice if there were a few more bigger pieces. There is plenty of space for Legos from other sets, too.The reason this didn't get 5 stars is the design flaw in the bucket. There are spaces in the bottom and tiny pieces easily slide in, but they are a pain to get out. We placed tape over the spaces and it solves the problem, but I don't know why Lego put them there in the first place.

These are a great wayto rewardyour kids when they are doing well.I bought this box in order to create a father daughter bonding experience. It all went well, wet bothhag a great time, and my daughter was really goodat it.I tried doing one set a week and it worked for about 1 month with just this one set.I bought this on sale and as sad as it sound, it's about the only way I can afford this. Since other small sets are usually 10-15$ per 3in1 set.Now is been over 2 months months and I have been hoping to get another creative set on sale.These are great, I even tried pulling out the Krakle.

We started off with this medium box and then subsequently added a large box. With the two combined, we now feel like we have enough legos to have fun and build stuff without having to constantly tear apart our earlier creations to scavenge pieces. That makes the kids a lot happier, as they enjoy playing with their creations but want to make new stuff too.If I were starting all over, I'd probably skip the medium box and go straight for a large box.

First of all, if you expect the box to be full, you will be disappointed, but this is a good variety of pieces to get started and the box will accommodate additional sets or assembled projects. When unpackaged, the pieces in the set fill the box to about 25%. I bought this set, the Lego Education brick set and the Lego Education wheels set (total 1654 pieces among the three sets). All of these fit in the brick box, but to actually dig around and find pieces, we will need a bigger box ... but to give an idea of the volume of pieces in the set... The combination of these three sets should be a really good set for my two boys for the forseeable future.

Significantly overpriced for what was in it. Not an assortment of LEGOs as the name "Creative Brick Box" would lead you to believe. It is actually just several small LEGO model projects, with specific pieces meant for that specific model and not the general 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x4, and 2x8 pieces like I expected. Other than being overpriced for what you're getting, there is nothing inherently wrong with the product, just not what was expected from a box boasting the number of pieces and the creativity of it.

I'm torn on this product. The Legos themselves are great. They're Legos!However, the storage box is awful. Who thought it would be a good idea to create a Lego storage box with a lid that doesn't stay on? Also, there are narrow "trenches" inside the box which are perfect for catching the little tiny pieces - and making it almost impossible to retrieve them. Using my fingernail to remove a little Lego eye from a storage box "trench" is not my idea of a good time.The Duplo storage box we purchased had none of these problems, so I know that Lego is capable of making a function storage box. The next day we purchased other storage boxes with lids that snap on.

The quality of the legos is good. My daughter has already gone through the manual that was supplied and constructed all the variations. The main disappointment is the actual number of legos included. The box it comes in might make you think its filled up with legos. It's not. The legos included will fit into just the lid of the box! In fact thats what we did. We dumped all the legos out of the box and into the lid and used that for picking through the pieces when assembling them. To be fair the label on the outside tells exactly how many of each piece are included but the size of the box makes it seem like its more than it is.

I was trying to find some basic Lego pieces to get my 5 year old started creating his own Lego masterpieces. I was really looking for a big box of bricks and some wheels and doors. I thought I had found it in the "brick box". Unfortunately there are a lot of the random, unusual Lego pieces in here that we just arent sure what to do with and not nearly enough squares and rectangles. There is a booklet with a few cute ideas and a web address for some other ideas, but I wish we could just find more straight bricks in a Lego set like this

I thought this set would have more of the 2x4 pieces, but there are a ton of tiny little pieces that just don't have much value in terms of building for the younger kids. My 4 year old loves Legos but he definitely prefers the bigger pieces to the tiny ones. He's too old for duplos but the teeny tiny pieces aren't that great for his age either. I can't find a set that has a ton of larger pieces so we will just make do with this for now.

All I wanted was a standard set of Legos like I used to have as a kid. This is a huge bucket but only a small number of pieces and some are pretty strange shapes. It seems like it's hard to find just regular Lego bricks.

A lot of odd peices, dont really care for it.

I expected this to contain more Legos than what it came with. For the price I don't think it's worth it.

The product is ok. But it missed parts 4653822 and 6024730, two black parts were very important to built helicopter! It is not worth to return it just missing the two parts.

The legos didn't even go 1/4 of the way up the bucket. For some reason I was expecting it to be mostly full size pieces, but I was very wrong on that. Pictures on side of box are very misleading.

I used to love legos for my boys....now, not so much. You don't hardly get anything in this box to make it worth your while.

This may be not what you are looking for !I bought another Lego and bought this one additionally as a "building material" , so that we have more room to build new things.It contains the number of elements as mentioned , however most of them are very small and very specific elements , so that you cannot even build a normal home or castle with that 484 elements.So do not buy this , if you just want more elements for better playing. Totally disappointed by Lego's policy.

What a waste of money! Pieces were broken and were not usable with regular legos. Never again!

These are SO SMALL!!!!! I purchased them for my 4 year old son because they say "classic" meaning I thought they were standard size however these leggos are TINY and he cannot enjoy them just yet at age 4.

dissapointing, I expected a MUCH larger item this won't hold hardly any lego's I was looking forward to a 2' tall 2' long where the top came off and you could put tons of legos snd use them right out of the canister.my imagination is always better than the product :(

There aren't that many legos in there, and what legos are in there are all specialty building and wheel parts. Not at all what I was looking for.

Very disappointed in how they count the number log pieces. There are a number of small and virtually useless pieces included. I will never purchase the Lego brand again.

Useless pieces. There are no building bricks in here...just random connector pieces.
