Brick Loot 10 Pack Compatible 5 X 5 inches Baseplates 16 x 16 Studs 16x16 - Variety Base Plate Pack Includes: Grey Green Blue and Tan , 100% fits Lego

These LEGO compatible baseplates were exactly what I needed. As a longtime LEGO collector and builder, I have a lot of printed and stickered tiles which I store on baseplates to make them easy to see. Previously, I used some older LEGO baseplates for this, but I wanted smaller ones that would fit in a small storage box. LEGO doesn’t sell 16x16 stud (5”x5”) baseplates anymore so I needed to find something else. I don’t usually buy non-LEGO brand brick products but for a storage solution, these baseplates from Brick Loot were perfect! They come packaged together in plastic and each baseplate within the larger package is individually wrapped in its own plastic sleeve. They come in a 10-pack with 4 colors (3 green, 3 light gray, 2 blue, and 2 tan), although I somehow received one extra tan (probably an accident on their part). The colors match very closely to LEGO colors. The blue and tan seem to match the closest and the green and gray are only slightly darker than LEGO. You can see in the photo where I compare the baseplates with a 2x2 LEGO tile of the same color. The color difference is very minor, no more than LEGO’s occasional color variation. You really have to look closely to see a difference. Since these are baseplates and not regular plates, the bottom side is flat, so you can’t connect anything to that side. The studs on top work very well with LEGO pieces. They do seem to grip the pieces slightly more than LEGO studs, but not too much. The pieces can still be easily removed without excess force and without damaging the pieces. The difference is very subtle and most people are unlikely to notice a difference. The greater grip seems to be caused in part by the studs being more squared off on the edges, compared to LEGOs slightly rounded studs. The thickness of the baseplates is slightly thinner than LEGO baseplates, but not that much. If you place them next to a LEGO baseplate and bridge the gap with a piece, they work fine. The difference in thickness is maybe the thickness of a sheet of paper, if that. It’s very minor. They also seem a little more rigid than LEGO baseplates but they still flex a little bit. So far, they seem quite durable and should last a long time. Overall, this is an excellent product and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to LEGO baseplates. As a LEGO brand purist (I only use LEGO brand parts in my builds), I will probably not use these for building unless I plan to cover all the studs, but for my tile storage solution, they are perfect. For anyone else who doesn’t worry about brand, these will work great for any brick project or play you may have.

The kids loved the baseplates! They work perfect with our regular Lego brand. I was a bit hesitant to order an off brand, but I'm glad we did. The quality of the plates are top of the line. The plates are sturdy, not flimsy. The colors were a hit with our son and daughter! Right away they said the blue was water, the green was grass, the tan was sand, and the gray was space. We received 3 gray, 3 green, 2 tan, and 2 blue. A perfect amount since we definetly need more grass and space in our building projects! The packaging was awesome! I was impressed how each plate was individually wrapped in its own sleeve and they all fit together stacked in another sleeve. The way it was packaged makes it perfect for wrapping as a gift. These plates are the perfect size for building. Our kids often make smaller, quick creations.... they loved the 5x5 size and have used them non stop for days! These are definetly going on our list for stocking stuffers and birthday party gifts! Thank you Brick Loot for making an affordable baseplate for our Legos!

We used these to complete a custom lego table. They were the size and colors we needed for our design. They line up nice, lay flat and legos are compatible and fit on and across plates

It looks like these are pretty decent quality, I like the plastic material and that it fits with other name brand building bricks. I will be returning this because I cannot build off the back side of the base plate. My son and I play on a Lego table and we have a lot of buildings we like to move around but they also need to be stable because we move the Lego table often. Unfortunately I have no use for base plates that the back side is unbuildable. I will keep this brand in mind for future purchases because it does look like they're plastic is good quality and the edges are beveled. And also seems as if the name brand sticks to it very well.

I got these to make Lego stations for my 6th graders. These were perfect to make different Lego designs/pictures on. After shopping around a bit these were the best priced and work perfectly. My own kids, 3,10 and 7 are constantly using the ones I did not take to my classroom. Also saved us a long trip to the Lego store. There are perfect for building!

These base plates are a godsend. They are completely compatible with brand-name Legos, but the price is far (far, FAR) less. They are exactly what we needed to build our off-brand Lego collection and turn the kids' imaginations loose. So very grateful to have found this option. Shipping was very fast, packaging was solid, quality of the base plates is great (I was concerned they might be thin and breakable, but they are not). Completely satisfied customer here.

The bottom doesn't connect so you can't stack them. I only bought so I could create layered tiers so they were useless for that purpose. Donated to my kids classroom.

Great baseplates BUT do not connect on the bottom. My daughter wanted to build a mutli-level dwelling but blocks only connect on the top of the plates. The name brand blocks do connect well and stay put though! Plates might be a little thinner than the name brand ones, but thats not an issue when building a house.

These are complete garbage

Great product! Very satisfied as it fix well with lego. Highly recommended.
