The Ubilda range (slogan: "You Build It"), was introduced by Burnett Limited in 1928.

The Ubilda principle

The principle of Ubilda was a good one: since tinplate toys were printed as lithographed sheets of metal and then stamped out and hand-assembled, why not leave at least some of the labour-intensive assembly process to the customer, and sell the models as kits, with added play value, smaller boxes, and a cheaper price?

The Ubilda concept allowed buyers to get more extravagantly large tinplate toys for a given price, with the most popular piece in the range being the Ubilda tinplate Fort, which also had the clever idea of making the printed retail box double as a raised stand for the fort.

Chad Valley Ubilda

The rights to the range were bought by Chad Valley after the Second World War.
