5.0 out of 5 stars Take LEGO Houses to the Next Level June 4, 2007

By J. Parke

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

If you enjoy building LEGO houses, this set it is a must-have. It's packed with 731 unusual LEGO pieces that allow you to add details to a house like never before. Create sculpted roofs, rain gutters, exterior lights, pathways, etc. As with all LEGO sets, the pieces are very durable. It includes beautifully illustrated instructions to build three very different house designs. I think this set is fun for both kids and parents.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Lego House December 21, 2007

By M. Heiner

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

This Lego set is one of two house sets from the Creator series. I was very excited to receive this set and I have only put together the house on the cover of the box. However, there are two other designs to choose from - each house is built with the same pieces.

Pros: the house has a lot of exterior detail, including a garage door, mailbox, porch lights, doors, flower beds, and windows. Another very positive thing about the set is that it is very sturdy and stays together well. I have a 2-year-old and 4-year-old who play with it, and so far it has not come apart (atypical for most Lego sets).

Cons: The interior of the house. There are no furnishings. The house is a bit too small to fit regular mini-figures. The second story easily is removed from the house, but there is no floor or stairs to separate the first and second floors. Finally, the garage is too small to hold a compact size Lego car.

Essentially, this is a model set and not meant to be played with other Lego figures. If the size had been adjusted and there was more to the interior, I would have given this a 5-star rating.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great House Kit - fun to build, play with and modify February 23, 2008

By Observer

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

This set has lots of architectural pieces (arches, drainpipes, gutters, fences, mailbox, floor tiles etc.) so you can do a lot with it. A really great set for the price if you are into building houses with realistic details.

Here is what the kids thought:

Pro: They liked the house. They like decorating and changing the yard. They used the garage for Matchbox cars. They had a few things they did not like so we made modifications.

Modifications:
We added stairs (it really bothered them there were no stairs)
We took out the back wall so they could play with the inside of the house.
We added a floor on the second story so they could play with that too.
We added better trees and flowers that we bought separately.

The white color makes the design more flexible: it is easy to use bricks not in the set to change and add to the house.

We eventually bought a second set so we could combine them and make a bigger house or a second house to avoid fights, since this quickly became a favorite.

Smaller kids (5 and 3) were too impatient to build it (even with help), but enjoyed playing with it and decorating the yard and interior once it was done.

So there is something here for many ages: older kids and adults can have fun building, and even re-designing the house. Younger kids like playing with the finished product. LOVE THIS SET!
Highly Recommended.
