Where it came from
Released in 1999 as part of the Lego Freestyle line, the Try Bird set was designed as a creative starter kit intended to encourage freeform construction beyond the rigid instructions of traditional themed sets. During this era, Lego was actively experimenting with diverse color palettes and unconventional brick shapes to appeal to a broader audience interested in sculptural, rather than strictly functional, building.
The set consists of a modest collection of parts primarily focused on creating stylized avian forms. It reflects the design philosophy of the late nineties, where the company emphasized the tactile versatility of their system. While it remains a niche entry in the company’s vast catalog, it is recognized by collectors as a representative example of the 'Freestyle' initiative, which prioritized open-ended play and imaginative assembly over the licensed intellectual properties that would come to dominate the brand in subsequent years.
