Good play with the kid

Posted by Mama_Eli in Bulgaria on 26 January 2010

I bought it on sale for BGN96 - which translates to EUR 48 - which is not sale at all compared to the rest of the prices are read in the reviews.


I like the look of the houses - so neat and nice. The set surprised me how much specific uncommon bricks there are in compared to a bucket. The designs are just the right for my needs - I am 39 and I wanted some fun with my daughter who will be 7 in few weeks time.

She was very enthusiastic when she saw the box and was after me for several days to open it. Some of the page instructions she read by herself and was happy to construct herself.

Thus it was not boring for me nor too complicated for her - good time spent together.

Great set, a lot of bricks!

Posted by inorde in Netherlands on 07 October 2009

When this set went on sale (€35) we bought 2. There are so many bricks in this that this set is better then any of the seperate roof pieces or brick boxes put together.

The different designs are good looking, fun to build and big as well. The price/quality value of this set is one of the best I've seen.

Apart from the three builds you can create with instructions, there's enough to build your own design. No minifigs though, but we have enough of those.

Bricks galore

Posted by MetroiD in Bulgaria on 30 January 2009

Let's be honest, unless you're new to house building, you won't be that much impressed by the 3 models which can be constructed using this set's manuals. Fair enough, they all seem to be pretty neat houses, but the level of attention to detail did not quite live up to my expectations and I found the smaller 4996 set to be a more enjoyable build.

That, however, is not really an issue - after all, the Creator sets are not supposed to be as intricate as the Factory Modular Houses, so one could say this house serves its purpose just right.

What IS really great about it at the end of the day is the amount of bricks included. Yes, they may be just a truckload of those same ol' white bricks and red rooftiles, however there's simply not much else you would need in order to construct a perfectly fine looking house yourself. Plus, the bricks would make a welcome addition if you're in need of more rooftiles and for one reason or another cannot order them from bricklink...

As to myself, being a fan of city-themed sets and in the process of building a town, this set was a definite must-have and its contents alone earn it a 4.5/5.

Not Another White/Red House!

Posted by bmwlego in United States on 20 October 2007

Great designs but the rating is brought down due to the same old color scheme of red and white! The 32 X 32 baseplate is awesome. The new garage style is a change from what I loved as a kid in the 80's but it is functional and aesthetic. The Town House Creator set is much better because of the huge selection of tan pieces.

Great start to alternative buildings!

Posted by marvinblue007 in Australia on 25 August 2007

This set, like 4954, builds up really well and has really nice details. (I built the single story house, wth the garage on the left). For me, there are two faults; the garage isn't long enough to accept any city vehicles (i.e. the yellow car from the Service Station or the Doctor's car), and there are no interior pieces. For the price, (AU$68), it would've bee nice to have them. However, this doesn't take anything away from the finished building, it looks great in my suburbia!! :-) Nice to see Lego producing buildings other than Emergency Services buildngs! Nothing wrong with them, just need a town to protect!! :-)
