This is what I got in my container:
brick size (brick count)
2x2 (250 approx)
2x3 (100 approx)
2x4 (200 approx)
2x6 (12)
2x8 (12)
2x10 (4)
In each size, the color distribution was approx:
20% yellow, 20% red, 20% blue, 20% white, 10% black, 10% green.

This large collection of lego bricks is to my mind the "classic collection". Children of all ages (and adults) can build ships, planes, houses -- whatever the mind imagines -- in a variety of colors. The bricks come in a nice sturdy plastic container for convenient storage.

While Lego has gone on to develop a wide range of other products, for those who want a good starter kit and bricks not specific to any particular image or character, this is a great product.

This is a good set to expand an existing collection. We added the house builder's set and the large building mat, which worked out well. I do miss the old, old days when Lego sets were not all theme-related. A good basic set.

This set of lego's surpassed what I was expecting! There is great building possibility and potential with this set. When you buy similar lego packages it states that you get ... say... 850 pieces. Most of those pieces are the little itty-bitty one (tiny 1/4" square) or two-piece (tiny 1/2" rectangle)lego's that are not that useful for building anything. This product has the bigger bricks so your child can actually BUILD something. I have searched and searched for a product like this and I could not even find it at the LEGO site! If you are looking for free play IE not buying a kit that only builds one thing, this is the one for you! This seller was great too. I had no problems and the order shipped quickly. Would buy from again.

FINALLY - a way to buy just the Lego bricks to build using your imagination. I only have one, but no more "kits" for me!! Even the Lego company on line doesn't have this one! Highly recommended!

This is a great Lego set. None of the tiny one and two stud pieces that are almost useless. The smallest piece is a four-stud brick. And it came with a plastic storage box that I wasn't even expecting! A great toy AND a great value!

Finally, I found a gift for my eight-year-old great-nephew that he completely loves! The big pile of legos you see in the sales picture actually comes in many separate packages encased in a big plastic box with lid. I didn't know the plates come separate, but luckily he had some from another, much smaller box of legos he already had on hand. (If this is your first Legos purchase, you need to get some plates, necessary for stabilizing the created structures.)

I dropped off the box at 8 in the morning. When I returned at 1 pm, he had made two incredible structures with two of the plates. They were creative and aesthetic. I had no idea what could be done with legos. The limit is one's imagination, and legos challenge that. The fact that these legos do not come in pre-packaged creations (Star Wars themed figures, for example) make this box require the use of the mind and imagination, dexterity and coordination. I was impressed with what my nephew could do and will do.

Legos of the non-structured form come highly recommended! Just don't forget plates!

I like that this is a package of just Lego bricks, and not all the fancy prefab cars, house, people, etc., that most people think of as Legos nowadays. Personally, I think the more fancy you make the Lego sets, the less they stimulate imagination -- just having geometric blocks and building with those seems like pure creative thought to me.

That being said, it's worth pointing out that these are *small* basic Legos (ie, the connecting dots are the smallest size). Does anyone know where we could find a comparable basic set of the larger-bore size?

When I told my older son's I was getting this for my 8 year old, they thought I should get one of the new Lego sets, you know like star wars... I can remember spending hours upon hours with my Lego's when I was a kid. We didn't have no 'sets'. We used our imagination. Not many toys let you do this today.

So I went ahead and got this for my son who has everything and he hasn't stopped playing with them yet. He spends hours putting together his own little Lego men (armies) and builds his little Lego tanks, planes and ships and battles all day. Sure, this isn't one of the fancy sets. You know, the kind kids play with and then stick on a shelf when they have completed it. You never complete this set. I continues on as long as you have imagination.

While, I am not putting down the sets. I just think toy manufactures have run out of ideas. But hey, lets get back to the basics and let our kids grow. This was one of the best gifts I have ever gotten my son and he has already used more than any other (except his gaming systems).

Oh, and my older sons... They can't keep their hands off of them.

You can't go wrong with this one.

All potential buyers should be wary of this product. An object should be placed next to this item so as to give a size perspective as well as a change of description. I received this item for my son and was very disappointed as to the actual size of the blocks themselves (extremely small). We have two sets of Legos already that are titled "Basic Bricks" and they are of the normal Lego block size.

The photo is very decpetive as to what the customer actually perceives that they are purchasing. Recommend purchasing from retail facility in person to verify actual size.
