What Is Included in a Plus-Plus BIG Travel Case?

Quick Answer

A Plus-Plus BIG travel case is a sturdy metal case filled with colorful BIG pieces and an idea guide. The BIG Metal Suitcase - 70 pc is the clearest example: it holds 70 pieces, keeps everything organized, and is built for building at home or on the go. If you want a self-contained travel set, that is the one to pick.

A Plus-Plus BIG travel case is less about a single product name and more about a format: a durable case, a set number of BIG pieces, and an idea guide that turns a car ride or restaurant wait into build time. The most direct example in the current lineup is the BIG Metal Suitcase - 70 pc.

This FAQ answers the questions that come up before buying: what is actually inside, how big the case is, whether it stores well, and whether it fits younger builders. Where a detail is not published, I say so rather than guess.

What comes in a Plus-Plus BIG travel case?

The BIG Metal Suitcase - 70 pc contains 70 BIG pieces and an idea guide, all packed inside a sturdy metal case. The case is the point: it keeps pieces contained and organized so nothing scatters across the back seat. The idea guide gives a starting point for animals, vehicles, or whatever the builder invents next.

If you are comparing formats, a tube is a single-build set and a suitcase is a portable collection. The suitcase gives you enough pieces to build, take apart, and rebuild without needing a second container.

• Check the piece count first: 70 BIG pieces is a working set, not a sampler.
• The idea guide is included, so no separate instructions purchase is needed.

How big is a Plus-Plus BIG travel case?

The published product details for the BIG Metal Suitcase - 70 pc do not list exact dimensions, so I will not invent them. What is confirmed is the format: a metal suitcase built to hold BIG pieces and keep them organized. BIG pieces are sized for small hands, which makes the case a better fit for younger builders than a standard tube of small pieces.

For a true size check, treat the case as a small portable kit rather than a large storage bin. It is designed to travel, not to hold an entire collection.

• If exact dimensions matter for a bag or shelf, measure your space and compare against the case once it arrives.
• BIG pieces take up more room per piece than standard Plus-Plus, so 70 pieces fills the case without being bulky.

Is a Plus-Plus travel case good for kids?

Yes, if the child is in the BIG age range. BIG pieces are easy for small hands to hold, stack, and connect, and they build in 2D or 3D. The BIG 15 pc Tube - Giraffe is a good example of how BIG works: one simple shape, open-ended building, and practice with fine motor skills, creativity, and problem-solving.

The tradeoff is piece count. A 15-piece tube is a quick single build; a 70-piece suitcase supports longer play and more rebuilding. For a first travel set, the suitcase gives more staying power.

• BIG is the right call for toddlers and preschoolers; standard Plus-Plus is better for older kids.
• A case with a lid makes cleanup part of the routine instead of a chore.

Does the case actually help with storage?

The metal case is the storage. Because it closes, pieces stay together between sessions, which is the main reason a travel case beats a loose bag for car trips and visits. The BIG Metal Suitcase - 70 pc is described as keeping everything organized, and that is the practical benefit: fewer lost pieces and faster setup.

If you already own BIG pieces, a bulk bag is the cheaper way to add one color. The 25 pc BIG Bulk Bag - Vanilla is a single-color expansion pack, not a travel case. Use bulk bags to grow a collection and a case to move it.

• One case per builder avoids mixing sets and missing pieces.
• Add a bulk bag of a favorite color when the case feels limited.

What else works as an on-the-go building set?

Not every portable set is a case. Tubes travel well because they are compact and self-contained. The Tube - Yeti is a 70-piece set with instructions to build a friendly yeti, then reuse the same pieces for mythical creatures and winter scenes. The Tube - 100 pc - Royal Guard follows the same pattern with a Danish Royal Life Guards theme and a buildable guard with a tall bearskin hat.

The HEXEL Bundle is a different kind of on-the-go option: multiple HEXEL designs in one bundle for bending, twisting, folding, and connecting. It is movement-based rather than brick-based, so it suits a child who fidgets more than builds.

• Tubes are the lightest option for a backpack.
• A case is better when you want pieces to survive repeated trips.
