They still make the “classic” sets of just basic bricks in assorted colors. Around the holidays you can get a giant box at Costco for $20 and I think Ikea might have a classic set even cheaper. The classic bricks come in bright yellow boxes while the dedicated builds are usually in blue boxes and the duplo sets (classic brick sets for toddlers with extra large pieces) are in green boxes. I think it’s sometimes easy to miss the yellow boxes in the lego aisle when you’re so focused on the blue boxes.
