LEGOClassic Blue Baseplate 11025 Building Toy Set for Preschool Kids, Boys, and Girls Ages 4+ (1 Pieces)

Blue is back!LEGO discontinued the blue baseplate just shy of 4 years ago and replaced it with tan. This left the LEGO world in a tough spot as brickers were unable to add to and/or begin their water scenes.That has all changed now starting in 2018.This baseplate is the high quality we have come to expect from LEGO and will without a doubt complement your LEGO city and/or scene. Please be aware, there are other knock-off brands that offer a blue baseplate, but they aren't the same quality and typically don't fit like the LEGO baseplates do. Though the cheaper price may be attractive, you run the risk of sacrificing quality and tight fit and/or coloring.This is the standard baseplate size... 10" x 10" (or 32 x 32 studs). If you decide to piece several of these baseplates together, you can use a standard blue lego plate 1 x 2 (the flat piece with two studs) or a 2 x 2 to connect the baseplates in their respective corners. This tends to help keep everything together and prevent the baseplates from moving around. See image.Now is the time to pick up some of these blue baseplates because you never know when LEGO might decide to discontinue them again.If this review helped to inform you, please click 'helpful' below. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.Happy bricking.

Great for building, works well for all sets. Can make a nice workable flat surface.

Boys love them. Value for money great

Just what my grandson needed to create “ocean” setups with his Legos!

What I expected and arrived very quickly!

I have purchased a number of these baseplates in varying colors to use for Lego tables for the grandkids (picture attached). If you use 4 of these 10" x 10" plates on an Ikea "Lack" side table, it makes a nice Lego work surface for young builders. There are less expensive, knock-off versions of the baseplates available but the reviews (warping, poor fit, etc.) scare me off. So the table itself costs $10 - $15 and then the plates are about $40 (for some reason, the price varies by color!).If you decide to build one of these, here's a tip... use lots of Legos to connect the plates to make a 20" x 20" plate. That way once the glue dries, you are assured the "pips" are perfectly aligned so you can build across from one plate to another.

Good quality for your money.Age appropriate.Light and durable.Easy to use.Heavy dutyGreat for all agesGreat for teenage boys
