Beach House - part one

Here's a photo review of LEGO set 4996: Beach House from the Creator line. Pat got this a couple of weeks ago, just because she really likes houses. We got it for at Rustan's Shang, for 3000php, although online the MSRP at shop.lego is $30.

Since it's a Creator set, there are three different ways to build this set... this euro-style house is just the first mode.

I put in a minifig just to have a focus, although it's not part of the set. The house seems just a little small for him.

This set is pretty well accessorized, with doors, windows, flowers and all that.

You can remove the entire 2nd floor easily to play with the first floor. Nice stairs and fireplace, but no furniture.

The second floor skylight opens up too, if you want to put your guys there.

Not a lot to see inside though, compared to the detailing on the outside.

The yard has some more nice stuff for minifigs to interact with. Odd that they didn't put one in the set.

All in all it's a very nice set. And it's just the first mode! Stay tuned for the other two.
