Components of some brick buildings

Answer:

LEGOSETS

Hint:

Think of colorful interlocking blocks often used to construct miniature houses or towers, sold in themed packages.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the double meaning of "brick buildings." While it could literally refer to structures made of bricks, it’s hinting at LEGO sets, which are often called "brick" toys. The word "components" reinforces this, since LEGO sets are made up of individual brick pieces. It’s a clever nod to how LEGO builds things just like real bricks do.
