Connetix Tiles Upgrade: 120-Piece Pastel Pack Replaced by the 104-Piece Pastel Creative Pack
A factual overview of the catalog transition from the retired 120-piece pastel box to the refreshed 104-piece configuration, detailing piece count changes, packaging dimensions, and structural additions.
The original Connetix 120 Piece Pastel Creative Pack was a popular centerpiece for children exploring soft earthy color palettes in open-ended construction. As part of a standardized product line update, Connetix has officially retired this 120-piece configuration and introduced the streamlined Connetix Pastel Creative Pack 104pcs.
This update packages the set in a refreshed box featuring updated dimensions and a standardized exterior size designed to align uniformly across the entire catalog. The total piece count has been adjusted from 120 down to 104 pieces. To optimize piece utility for structural builds, the set no longer includes large base squares or window pieces; instead, it introduces 8 × 2-square rectangles designed to span wide horizontal distances and reinforce vertical assemblies.
Throughout these adjustments, the core design standards of Connetix Tiles remain identical: food-grade, BPA- and phthalate-free ABS plastic, high-frequency ultrasonic welds, corner safety eyelet rivets, and the signature recessed bevelled face.
