Description

A different kind of range

Scala was a line of its own, with a dolls' house look and jewellery-style figures, and it had little in common with the classic city themes. Dream Cottage shows that well: instead of minifigures, the focus is on the home itself, a little house to furnish and decorate. If you do not know the range, this is an unusual piece of company history. It rarely turns up in collections today, which makes it interesting to look at closely.

Pastel shades

The main colours are white, light salmon, salmon and light violet. You hardly ever find such pastel tones in ordinary sets, so the pieces suit projects that need soft, warm surfaces, such as a café, a flower shop or a fairytale house. If you sort your collection by colour, these are bricks you would otherwise search for a long time. That alone is a good reason to look at the parts list before you decide to give the set away.

Lots of different parts

At 133 pieces the set is small, yet it contains 91 different types. That means almost every part appears only a few times, with plenty of decorative elements, accessories and special shapes and few plain bricks. It makes for a varied build, but checking a second-hand copy is fiddly, because one small part can easily go missing. The parts list on this page lets you tick off each item one by one, which saves a lot of guesswork.

Display it or reuse it

You can set the cottage up as it is, perhaps on a shelf next to other nineties sets. Or you can try the “What can I build?” tool to see which models come out of these parts combined with the rest of your collection. The unusual colours make the bricks attractive for your own designs, even if you never plan to rebuild the original house, and they pair well with white and cream pieces you already have.
