The 4000010 LEGO House This is the first set that connects with the new house that´s being built in Billund by LEGO. It is only available in Billund but there you can find it everywhere, even at the local pizzeria ! I have heard that there will be other exclusives coming that also only will be available in Billund. The hush hush background story Last year in january me and Bonaparte was among the 10 AFOL´s from all over the world that were invited to a secret workshop in Billund. We had some information what is was going to be about beforehand but we didn´t really know what to expect! Well, we were brought in to give an AFOL perspective of what we thought and wanted in & with the LEGO House which were to be built smack downtown Billund. Details of what was discussed is need-to-know and not nice-to-know unfortunately, but we had a great time! But I can say this - a least four things that we mentioned have we already been able to spot in the public information about the house ! The top of the house where the 2x4 "brick" is will be the heighest point in Billund where you can enjoy the view! Here´s the information video: Set Information Name: LEGO House Number: 4000010 Theme: Promotional Release: 2014 Parts: 250 + 6=256 in total Figures: 1 Price: DKK 149 Links ... Brickset ... Bricklink The box Designed like the Architecture series and the factory, production and moulding sets but it looks exclusive. It has Special edition written on the top right side, the same style as the 21021 Marina Bay Sands has Limited Edition in the same place. Front Back The Instructions Same style here also as the Architecture line. Black, dignified and expensive looking. Lots and lots of information inside ! Front Back Inside information Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Page 10 Page 11 The parts View of the content of the box The parts in the three polybags plus lose plates. I know it´s bad form nowadays but I didn´t line everything up nicely for pictures, instead you´ll get the sets own inventory page: The parts list from the instructions. White parts mostly with some trans-clear and light bluish grey plus black. The special parts for this set. It´s nice to have a 1x1 tile in trans-clear, I hope other sets will have it also in the future! The Minifigure Common hair, head and legs, but exclusive print on the ordinary torso. Front Back The build The build is nothing special, no SNOT-techniques or something else fancy. Just bottom up stacking but I enjoyed the simplicity non the less! Step 06 Step 09 Step 11 Step 16 Step 20 Now we know what we´re building ! Step 23 Step 26 Step 33 Step 36 Step 39 Step 40 Step 45 Step 46 Finished! Extra parts I don´t have any statistics to support this but to me it seems less than usual. But that´s ok, we got an extra 1x1 trans-clear tile ! What does judge CopMike give this set then? Design & Build 6 Parts 6 Figure 7 Playability 5 Value 5 Overall score - 58% . That´s a pretty low score and it´s well deserved. BUT - a set like this can´t really be judged against ordinary set designed for play!! This is an exclusive of a modern looking building made to be displayed! So my final verdict is ................. If you can get it at around the original prize, DKK 149 which equals about $27, and are familiar & like with the Architecture line - then it´s a go !

Great one Doc !A mod maybe like this ?

An Eurobricks tradition that just keeps coming :-)! Looking good there Doc, can't wait (but I have to!) to see the actual countdown!
