September 2004 - New House Building Set!!
LEGO has released set 4886 Bulding Bonanza. From this set you
can build a really neat house. I think it's a little odd to build
the trees from basic bricks, but otherwise this set looks very
nice indeed. And there are tons of useful elements in the set:
Slopes, windows, tiles, door, fences - Great for MOC's! I
expect it to be available through Shop
at Home later today. The set contains 667 pieces. Price is
374 DKK or 35 GBP. Will ship by October the 18th. Not available
in the US as of yet.
