Description
About this set
LEGO Classic Cool Creative Box is a 510-piece box of colorful bricks with ideas for fun, modern builds. Along with standard bricks you get eyes, wheels and hinges. Suggested models include a game controller, a dinosaur wearing glasses, a cellphone that flips open, a skateboard, a monster truck and a DJ setup with headphones.
It’s great for kids 5 and up who like to make things their own way. The models can be mixed together, like putting the headphones on the dino and riding it on the skateboard. It has left production, so new sealed boxes are only getting scarcer.
Highlights
- 510 pieces including eyes, wheels and hinges
- Build a dinosaur with glasses or a monster truck
- Game controller, flip phone and skateboard ideas
- DJ kit with headphones the dino can wear
