5Lego's 2011 Creator House
By R. Ferguson
Lego's Creator line is one of my favorite because the sets avoid the use of really specialized pieces and, instead, focus on the creative use of more basic pieces. This is much closer to the way Lego sets were when I grew up. You can, of course, buy the bulk Lego sets, but I find those boxes provide too many 2x4 bricks and not enough of the one-stud wide bricks and other key elements (like angled roof pieces). Creator sets like this one provide a great mix of very useful pieces, often in colors that are hard to find. And because these come with directions for multiple builds, they encourage rebuilding and experimentation.

This year's first Creator house is a tidy little log cabin (there is another house, #5771 Hillside House, arriving later in the year, as well as a lighthouse island, #5770). This one is on the small side and it is not built on a baseplate but on a number of small plates (this represents a bit of shrinkage compared to years past). But it has a great color scheme, especially the dark roof tiles, and it has plenty of windows. There is a fireplace, one mini-figure, an ingenious kayak, a tree, and a fire pit with a spit. The top lifts off and the back side (of the A-model) opens up like a giant door; my kids have a lot of fun with this latter feature. The set has decent playability, though it really shines if you have other Lego people and things (vehicles, animals, droids, whatever) to expand the storyline. And since the cabin is unfurnished, your kids may want to make their own brick beds, brick tables and brick chairs.

Overall this is a very useful set with a lot of possibilities and a modest price tag. It makes a good gift because if you don't like one design, it is easily changed into something else.

Cheers

5Great Set for Introducing Legos to a Child
By B. M. Miller
This set gives you a little more than 350 pieces for 30 bucks retail, which is a wonderful deal for Legos just in and of itself. However, as a set, it is a somewhat fast and easy build - my 7 year old daughter was able to build it on her own with very little assistance from me in about 2 hours. The cabin is very sturdy once built, for Legos of course. Because the cabin is formed like a house, it is a simple structure to put your mind around, and I think would be an excellent first set for a child that has never used Lego's before, but may be interested in them. My daughter loves this one, and I am very pleased that Lego has finally decided to include a Lego person in these sets, it greatly increases the playability factor.

4Got what I expected
By P. Richter
They finally figured out that there should be a way to open the building so that people can be placed inside as well as taken back out without taking the structure apart. The hinged wall was a great addition. Otherwise, the picture on the box is the same as what I saw when I got to the final step. I'm loving the realistic sets they have been coming out with lately.
