Don't feel bad, Jibbajaba. I once did buy a $10 set just for one piece. I hadn't discovered Brinklink yet, so as far as I knew that was the only way to get it.

Albero i thought the exact same thing when i saw the blue building's picture. In person though i find i hardly notice it. The bulding is just a joy to look at! <I will ad a door to the room though.

In fact both buildings just amaze me with the external detail. I mean i boggled at them! Be-A-Utiful!

The blacksmith shop interior i don't really understand though. ANy thoughts on that?

Upstairs or downstairs?

Oh, and how does one get upstairs?

hehe username to the rescue!

and yeah the downstairs is what i don't get.

Love the oven upstairs. deff going ot copy that for my large castle kitchen. Best thing about htis set for me is that the buildings fit the scale on which i have been building!

go lego!

This is probably the only thing that I don't really like: the windows of the blue house give a nice picture but since they are round on the top, there's should be arcs above them and there are not. So I don't really like the space they leave "free".
I hope to be understood.

yeah, that bugs me too! glad I'm not the only one!

I hope to find a solution for that but not very simple since those blue pieces are more than rare...

I was super surprised to see the poo. I hadn't seen it in any pictures online. So it was a really fun surprise.

Perhaps the old crooked man is actually a gong farmer?
What else is he supposed to carry on his back

The red might be perhaps be a tomato?

Serious? TLC's been putting clever little details in a lot of sets lately, but that surprises me!

I wasn't going to mention it here, because I thought it was a fun surprise. It made me crack up when I built it. But, yes, there is...poo...in the horse stalls.

It made me wonder who/what was pooing in the stalls, since horse/cow poo doesn't look like that...

I think a red Technic ball joint would have made a better tomato:

It would be sorta big, but I've seen some big tomatoes in my life:

I put the two brown carrots and extra carrot top in the old man's pack as some trade goods - some rare medicinal roots and herbs.

That was very noble. Perhaps I should have kept quiet...
