My guess is when that set first came out, people sold the torso's since they were obviously one of the rare parts, thinking that the legs were available in other sets, or thinking they could save the legs and get just as much selling the torso and head.
The detail is impressive. I especially like the roofing as well as the pillars on the highest front portions.
I've never seena building like this before.
I'm happy this got brought back up, I never saw it the first time, and it's great. The house is awesome, and great work on the extended part on the roof, it looks perfect!
I buld my sets, display them for a week or two, and then I dissasemble them and store each set in it's own ziploc bag and then store all those in a big rubbermaid bin.
One day I'll get the guts to mix everything and build a crazy MOC.
Wow, very nice, I don't thinkI'd call that small. There's lot of detail, and I must say it was nicely done, a perfect balance of smooth decks, and rugged rocks, as well as plant foliage.
I love the SNOT for the entire decking area, really impressive.
