Ricecracker Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Is 5891 the Apple Tree house now available places? I keep seeing sets here and there on Ebay from different parts of the country. Any official word that its out early and if so WHERE!? I want one or two or three..hehe It is available, it just seems hard to find. I'm getting a bunch of 2010 sets on the weekend, and was pleasantly surprised to find out it was available. Quote
Sir Fred Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 That Apple Tree House looks awesome. I'm really happy about the blue baseplate since I've amassed plenty of boats but nothing to really put them on in any sort of set up. Quote
darkmoonlady Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) Yay! I scored an Lego 5891 Apple Tree House at Fred Meyer here on sale for 35.99, pretty good deal. I saw it on the shelf and gasped, luckily I was with my two best friends who are also AFOL's as well. They got their Lego fix today as well, they found Lego brand storage bins. I'll post pics soon of the set and of the bins, I only got a large bin and a flat bin, they got a stack set that was really cool. edited to add link to Flickr set: Lego 5891 Apple Tree House Edited December 20, 2009 by darkmoonlady Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 'Darkmoonlady' could you be kind and do a review for all of us, thank you. I would like to see if this would go well next the family home of this year. Quote

I'm a newbie here and haven't done a review tutorial yet, so not sure I am permitted to post a review yet.. As for going well with the Family Home, I just built that one as well and this new house is I would say more "sporty" in it's main color choices of blue, white, red and tan. I'd say they compliment each other, although this house is smaller and so the overall footprint of the house makes it feel less like a house and more a small cottage. Oddly one thing I noticed about the design is that the wall of the garage is open to the rest of the "living space" with no inner wall so it is sort of strange. I love this set however and plan on picking up another one this week for parts as I'm gathering resources for a Magic shop MOC, and need the roof bricks. Quote

Nightshroud99 Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 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. A new blue baseplate is great! But I'd really love to get a large white baseplate!!! Quote
The Cobra Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 An Italian online store has prices for the summer sets: 5893 Fuoristrada e Quad = 69.99 (4WD & quad bike) 5868 Creature feroci = 26.99 (Fierce creatures) 5892 Sonic Boom = 49.99 Quote
The Cobra Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 New promo sets? 30020 Jet - 30021 Parrot Other 2010 instructions at the usual page, under LEGO Creator theme. Quote
Rick Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Nice find, definitely promo sets. Good part selection though. The parrot is an original idea. Quote
Svelte Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 That parrot is so cute! Thanks Cobra Cabana! Quote
BlueBard Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Nice finds, the cobra! I agree with you, Svelte, the parrot is so... Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Aw, Polly wants a brick , Aw ..... Thanks for the heads up 'The Cobra' on these two. The jet is cool, but the parrot takes the cake or cracker which ever the birdie wants. Quote
paul_delahaye Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Nice to see the return of the blue baseplate, I've never really understood why Lego don't release this standard size square baseplate in other useful colours, like, white, brown, beige instead of just green and blue. I'm sure this would be popular with the AFOL market. How useful would white be for a ski resort, brown and beige for building sites etc. And surely not that difficult to make giving the molds etc must already exist, just a matter of adding different colour plastic granules? Not sure if these baseplates are injection molded or vacuum formed/thermo formed? The only other slight cheapo part about the creator house although it looks great and will be on my 2010 purchase list, the 1x1x1 brick with hole which is used to put the pin into for the pivot point on the garage door, they could have made it in white rather than grey :-( guess they did not have any of those currently in production?

The Cobra Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Ramses Pyramid brought back the Tan 32x32, Lunar command has it in Dark stone. Maybe some other board game will bring (back) other colors. Quote

CDC Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 5893 looks amazing. Although I usually dont like creator sets i will buy this one for display. Quote
Etzel Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 The 5868 Crocodile looks like a great source for green pieces (which is always welcome to me). Quote
samurai-turtle Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 It kind of looks like Plinko from "the Price is Right". Quote
Plastic Nurak Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 In Northamerican version of Lego Creator site the three new sets are next to be available. Why in Europe no ? Quote
The Cobra Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Different sets come out at different times in different countries. The only trouble is when they don't show up at all in one nation. Just have a little patience. Quote
Etzel Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 In Northamerican version of Lego Creator site the three new sets are next to be available. Why in Europe no ? Can you provide a link? I can't find any sets in the Creator NA S@H that's not in the rest of the world too. Quote
Plastic Nurak Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) http://creator.lego.com/en-us/Products/Reveal/5893.aspx They will be soon available. In Brickipedia is written the release date of Sonic Boom and Crocodile is may/june. In Italy will be in September, I'm sure . Edited May 18, 2010 by Plastic Nurak Quote
The Eye Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Will the Creator Grand Carousal be around in Lego Brand Stores in Late August 2010? Can anyone guess? I'm really looking to buy it. Quote
