Description

Ten shapes, one house

With ten different elements, this set gets by on very little variety. The 109 bricks come together as a small house in which the same shapes recur again and again. That restriction is part of the charm: you see how a few basic elements are enough to make a convincing building. For anyone interested in early sets it is a clear example of how simple the first steps into building once were.

Colours that go together

Red, green and white form the trio. Pale surfaces, a strong roof and green accents produce a picture that recalls a cottage in the countryside. The parts list on this page shows how the quantity divides between the three colours. That is useful when you are checking a second-hand copy, or gathering parts for a house of your own in the same colours. With only three shades involved, sorting the bricks is quick and easy as well.

A short build

With around a hundred pieces the build is over quickly. The set therefore suits a relaxed afternoon, and you need no prior knowledge. Minifigures are not included, so the story of the house is left entirely to you. You can add a garden, a fence or an extension without the set tying you to a particular theme. The simplicity itself invites you to try your own ideas and to rebuild the model several times over.

Related to the larger house

The same range includes another Medium House Set, 3-6, which brings a few more pieces. Both sets share the same colour scheme and sit well side by side. If you own several, you can build a small village. Use the “What can I build?” tool to see which models you could assemble from the bricks you already have, and let the parts list guide you towards any missing elements you want to track down.
