I really like the design elements you have in this! The living roof, the deck out over the pond, the way the rooms are laid out, very nice. I'll have to take some of those ideas for use in my own MOCs. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us!

Simply Gorgeous! Oh CRAP! It's linked to a gallery, nono! It's pulling me in to browse amazing creations!!!! Sigh there goes my Lego budget and time today. I love the details you have managed to do! makes me want to go home from work and build things! Oh well for now I can just marvel at the creativity.

In September the Bricks By The Banks Lego show and Cincinnati Comic Expo will be held in Cincinnati Ohio USA downtown the 13th through the 15th. I can't wait! Here is the link to the main information site http://cincinnaticomicexpo.com/bricks-by-the-banks/

I haven't gotten one of the Creator 3 in 1 houses yet, but I have been looking at the reviews and pictures posted here and trying to plan how to furnish it for minifig use. I have always been fascinated with the housing and making things more usable/realistic for the minifigs. Back in the days of blue and grey Space sets, I used to make stoves, seating and entertainment sets for the bases I built. I'm wondering what some of you who have the Creator series have done with furnishings in the limited (sometimes next to none I notice) space you get after the build. I have been looking through the forums but haven't seen anything yet. So what have you got? Or is this something you haven't thought of yet and now the juices are flowing, so what are you planning? I'm working on getting some bricks together in my collection to use for MOC esp. this particular kind of thing, so besides stealing chairs and desk from some of my City Advent Calendars once I get something put together I'll post some picks and update this post. Now I'm going to go look at the amount of stud X stud space some of these reviews have and plan my layout. But I would love to see some ideas from others!

My favorites so far are the Ghost and Clock, The Summer Set (love the sand castle) and the Harry Potter The Lab (30111), I like the way the colored bricks are used to make potion bottles in that one. Can't wait to get the VW Van next month.

The crab is pretty neat, I wish I could get the instructions for the mini model of the bbq grill. I agree they should sell these as polybags later on for those of us without kids. I would like to get the kits, but kinda hate the idea of borrowing a kid just to do that, cause it means some poor kid out there doesn't get their Lego! (yes I'm the kind of person who thinks that way). But I do like the fact you can get the instructions for MOST of these online. I see a few brick orders in my future now........
