Thanks to some great friends, I received a LEGO set as a gift. It was set number 10693, the LEGO Creative Supplement.

It got a little damaged in shipping, but the contents inside are still good. There are 303 pieces inside and they are displayed on the back of the container.

As you can see there are a wide variety of colors in this set as well as types of pieces. It's not just bricks, but slopes, cylinders, some SNOT (studs not on top) parts, and a few other fun pieces. There are even a few translucent parts in the mix. The set includes a brick separator as well and a few 1 x 1 eye tiles. Other than that, the set does not include any other tiles or plates.

The inside contains 3 bags of bricks and a booklet of some various designs you can build.

So why would you want a bunch of random bricks? To build whatever you want with them, that's why! You can use just the pieces in the set to build or you can add them to your other sets and designs to build whatever you want.

The set is $19.99 for 303 pieces. That's a little over $0.06 a piece. In terms of price, it's a pretty good deal if you look at price per piece.

Is this a good set to buy? It depends on who is buying it. A LEGO fan who builds to the limits of the bricks he/she owns will love this set for the added parts. A child who is used to sets with instructions and minifigures may not appreciate this set. So it all depends. If you're looking to get me a set, I like it!
