I mean, this is what every Lego house should be or should have been. It is to scale with a minifig (except there's no upstairs, just an 'attic'), you just need to add a bed and some furniture. The trees, bush, and flowers are all very detailed, and the stone walk is also very nice. The windows can also tilt open, and there's a porch light as well. There are shutters on the bottom floor's windows, and a white fence around the front yard. It's a Lego dream house!

Pros:

-To scale with minifigs

-White fence

-Shutters

-Front door

-Porch light

-Stone walkway

-Trees, bush, and flower patches

-TONS of great pieces

Cons:

-No furniture

Altogether 6/5. Great set, PLEASE get it if available!

This set epitomizes traditional lego construction and I highly recommend it for anyone starting out with lego or anyone who wants to make, or has already built, a lego town.

The size is compatible with mini-figures, and although the set did not include any (this is a designer set afterall), the door and window elements are invaluable for a mini-figure scale theme; that and the roofing bricks meant I went out and got two of these sets for my town.

A suggestion for non-lego customisation: It looks great with an LED lighting the interior.

This is the best of the designer sets, in my opinion, and I hope it is a big seller for Lego.

A great house with great pices, the other thing that could make it better would be a second floor.

No people, no problem, buy a minifig set.

The House has 600+ pieces for 40 American dollars, thats a great price! Most 600 piece sets cost at least $70.

This is one of the best Lego sets in years.

It's also a Designer sets which mean there would be no minifigures, you you want minifigs buy a System Theme set.

The house is great, the roof comes off, there are a ton of pices, all the roof pieces are great.

The things you can biuld with the set are wonder, a lighthouse, windmill, or the cool house.

Then on the inside you can set the house up any way you want with your own pieces so if you choose, you can play with the house as if it were a doll house.

I just bought this yesterday while went for shopping to LEGOLAND Günzburg. I know, I'm getting there very often since I'ts only one hour away from me.
Now i'm reviewing some of the models:
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Small house (quick build):
This house is very small. There's much space around that building. The Architectural style of this is ok for the size. There's a streetlamp near the building and a garden around it. The plants are custom build The only thing that makes me mad is the bad look of the chimney. It's looking very ugly with this style. 9/10
-----------------------------------------------------------
2. Medium House (experienced build):
This house also uses a rather small footprint. So there's space for the garden, which is better looking at this house. The plants are custom build again, which is a nice touch as this isn't common to lego sets building the plants with just basic bricks Slopes or plates not with special plant parts. The Building itself has many storeys and very classic techniques, because of the 4 Walls and the non existant floors it's just like old 70s style. There are architectural elements in that building, like 2 colors on the corners, which looks good. But again the damned look of the chimney. But it get's a 10/10 for architectural details.
-----------------------------------------------------------
3. Building Bonanza (Advanced Build):
This house rocks. It's extremely realistic and minifig scale. The Garden looks pretty good with it's position. The plants are custom built like in all houses of the set. The house has no interior as all houses of the set, but this can be modified if you have enough bricks. The four walls take it very close to the old style from the 70s. This house uses over 600 pieces and there are still about 40 or 50 left over. The back has no windows, which takes it away from perfection, but the architectural style takes this very close. Simply a 10/10.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Overall: This set is the bomb when you're into buildings or if you need some very useful pieces for houses in classic town scale. Otherwise it's great on display altough not very well standin next to old LEGO Town buildings. It's simply a great outstanding set that really deserves a 10/10 in total.
