That I studied architecture in college can be directly attributed to my love for Legos as a kid. Now that I'm 32 and can afford things, I've rediscovered my favorite childhood toy. I asked my wife for Legos for Christmas and she came through with this magnificent set. It's Christmas night and I'm already done. The design and detail are better than ever. Following the instructions and building it are just as much fun as I remember. Now I need to go to the storage area under the stairs and drag out my giant box of Legos that have lied dormant for 20 years and start building the rest of the town.

Basically, Legos are great for kids and they promote imagination. A lot of the architecture students I've talked to through the years were also avid Lego builders. In addition to learning how to follow a set of instructions, they also promote visualization and imagination and both are extremely important elements of any engineering or design career. So if you're looking for something safe and fun for your child that might just start them down a road toward a very fulfilling career, you just can't go wrong with Legos.

I bought this for my ten year old daughter thinking that she would need help with this from her older brother. Even though there were more pieces than she has ever worked with the pictorial instruction manual made it a breeze for her. She absolutely loves playing with it. She is interested in architecture so, it definitely inspired her.

Since on the box there was no picture of a person or anything to give a good reference as to the size, I thought that the home would be bigger. Imagine my surprise when my daughter built this tiny thing. I felt that the price was a little steep for something this small but I guess that I am paying for the complicated design and of course, the Lego name. I did like the fact that there were other creator sets that I could purchase to go along with this set.

This set is definitely good for either gender which is refreshing since most of the Lego sets seems to be geared for boys. If your child is interested in Legos, architecture or you want a toy that kids will love for years, this set is a good choice for you! Amazon did have the best price (at least right around the holidays) for this set too.

I love this Creator series. It gets away from all the fads--good ol'-fashioned building. This one is great because it includes plans for 3 different houses . . . and my kids always have fun building others on their own.

This was purchased as a gift. The nice thing is that it makes several different houses, not just one. This was more reasonably priced than locally, and much much cheaper than eBay. Very good purchase.

Great lego set! Great price on the lego set! Enough for 3 children to work together to build!

Kids loved it, as always, you can't go wrong with Legos. This one has 3 options to build and whatever you imagine.

I worked with son and we enjoyed building the walls of the house. However, problems begin with the roof. The plates and the blocks that create the underside of the roof cannot lock tightly onto each other as one must connect multiple plates with insufficient number of blocks to create the full roof. Thus, our roof splintered in several places during the building process and we are on our second attempt to build the roof. It would have been better to have one large plate for the underside of the roof to avoid this structural problem with using multiple small plates and trying to connect them all with blocks.

The walls of the house did not experience a similar structural problem as the blocks are firmly built upon one large piece of lego pad. Lego needs to use the same idea for the roof.

It is also very difficult and time-consuming to separate similar size pieces once they are connected. I do not look forward to disassembling one house to build another.

As there are close to 1,000 pieces, it would be nice for the set to come with a lidded tub to store the numerous pieces. The cardboard box is useless and a big waste of space.

These issues all diminish the fun nature of the set.

This would my 8 year old daughter's 3rd lego Creator home and this one has been the best so far. It does have a lot more pieces than the other ones so you have to be very careful not to lose any of the pieces because then its hard to complete the house without it. My daughter loves it and stays entertained for hours. Its one of the best toys I've ever bought her.

This is an excellent home-building kit! Yes, the ceilings are a bit low and there is no shower or toilet, but where else will you find a house for under a hundred bucks? And we can change the floor plan or add more rooms any time we want. Try that with your fancy million-dollar homes, suckers!

Too bad this toy is no longer available from Lego. It can be 3 houses in 1, has 1,000 pieces. I love it, my son loves it, and my daughter (for whom we bought it) loves it. HIGHLY recommend it again.
