This one is 10-wide (the previous two were 8-wide) and these Creator sports cars generally are not 'high' enough to fit a minifig inside. To me the cars are only useful for parts when on clearance.

Yup. Although it's pretty easy to mod the green one to fit a fig, they still don't quite sit up straight.

On the bright side, I did that mod using only parts that came with the set, so that's cool.

edit: I have a certain soft spot for that green Creator car because it was my first set comin' out of my dark age.

There's no need to thank me. It was my pleasure.

I can only feel good if I can contribute with something for a community that gives so much.

We are all here to share... so that's only what I did.

Best regards

5891 - Apple Tree House

5891-1.jpg

Pieces : 539

Price : $44.99

Month : January

Hmm, as I recall, the Beach House set from 2008 had a very similar number of pieces. It was also nearly half the price! Jeez, these prices are getting unbelievable. Sure, it looks like an awesome set, but probably not of the same caliber as 4996!

I'm glad they keep releasing new Creator houses in this price range. It's better IMHO to have 30-40e houses than 60-80e houses, and then let the fans buy 2-3 copies if they want to design bigger models.

BTW, how common are dark-blue roof pieces? This is the first time I see them! The overall color scheme looks very nice, although personally I have plenty of white bricks already so I would have preferred a different colour for the walls.

I don't judge the price until I see the parts list: the 4996 Beach House seems more convenient but has more than 100-120 pieces which are actually 1x1 plates, round plates or tiles.

Guys, no offense, really - but if you think that red Creator car is nice, you really, really don't know how to build cars . . . .

Well, it's good for a Lego set :wink:

Purchased 5865 at TRU today, here are some pics!

They also had 5864, the mini creator copter, but I didn't buy it nor did I snag any pics. It almost looks like a mini version of the Creator Cargo Copter, but with only 2 blades on top and no cargo hold.

No one has mentioned the blue baseplate release! I know the baseplate has been available before, but they're rare enought to be pricey on Bricklink... as a Pirates lover I can't wait to pick some up and actually have some ocean to sail my ship on!

Otherwise, I echo the sentiments towards the Appletree House, especially on the lawnmower. The car and copter look nice, as well as the minis, but I've never been one for the figureless vehicle sets. As a parts pack, I -may- try and find a helicopter on sale... but I won't exert too much effort for it. :wink:
