I've only just started properly playing with lego, so this is a great set for me! That's because this brick box has over seven hundred bricks in it, and around nine different colours. You can build so many things, e.g. houses, cars, shops. There are really only simple bricks inside, not like the Belville sets or Pirate sets, although there are doors, windows, and two mini figures. If you are trying to collect lots and lots of Lego to build something huge then buy one of these!
The box is actually much bigger than it should be, because I can fit all the pieces from this set and from my smaller box inside. I think it might be diliberately designed like this so you can use it for storing all your Lego! Nevertheless, do not be deceived by the size.
The most handy thing about this brick box is that it contains a baseplate. It's about half the size of a large green Lego baseplate, but there is still enough room to make a mini garage for the mini figures, or something that size. I suggest buying a large green Lego baseplate, or an x-large gray Lego baseplate. I actually have both so there's plenty of room!
I recommend this brick box to people who don't mind having simple bricks, not detailed bricks in other words, and people who are just starting and who want to collect lots and lots!
