I originally thought this build was my least favorite of the three, but after watching you build it, I decided I like all three versions equally. This is an unexpectedly amazing set.
You could probably build a whole street with just a few of this set. Normally I'm not interested in alternate builds but this is a great implementation of them
that sounds interesting. you could even call it a small sea side town or recreational homes at a lake, where are strange mix of historic preservation and additions created a unique look that people started likeing and thus became the standard.
This could go down as one of the best 3-in-1 house sets ever with how good the alternate models are as well as the main build. LEGO really needs to keep doing these!
This is a fabulous little set. Love how the designers took the time to give the 3 builds the ability to close up or be open backed. Adds so much more to the value and varied building experience. Great review.
This is a serene looking setting. I 100% prefer the main build, but all three builds offer a good amount of variety. So you can pick your preferred type of architecture/build and still be happy with the end result. Often times in the past the "alternate" builds were strictly throwaways, or afterthoughts at best.
After seeing all 3 builds, this is what I call a perfect set. When I’m thinking to buy yet another small creator house set (and likely not just one), without ever needing any more, I believe that’s mission accomplished by the designers. 10/10, one of very best “city” sets and I dare say one of the very best designed sets. Each of the builds holds its own and doesn’t pale in comparison with the others. Amazing.
i love all these nice, cheaper "normal" houses weve started getting recently. could start making a nice lego city lite with all these 3-in-1 creator houses if you dont wanna spend so much on modulars
Creator has always better than city in this regard. They have has at least 1 or 2 houses per year since 2007. However, there were shifts in style in 2011 and 2015. In 2011, minifigures were added and baseplates were lost but the builds remained mostly similar. In 2015, sets got more expensive, smaller, and less enclosed but were more detailed and had more small parts compared to bricks. I personally prefer the older styles since the new sets are much less a blank canvas and are harder to MOC with since there are so many tiles and plates compared to bricks. Additionally, having baseplates and being larger is always good.
I love this. Will be the second set I buy as an adult (returning to lego) after the bookshop modular I've got. I'd love to live in a house like this set.
Now that's what I like to see from Lego! Utilizing the leftover parts to add even more things to one of the smaller alternate builds. Too many times with these 3 in 1 sets, a lot of parts are left over that giving a little imagination, could be used to great effect like in this set. Kudos to the designer for going above and beyond.
Jang, I believe there is enough pieces in that set to make a great narrow modular building - It would be awesome to see how you could come up with your own Custom Build. You are also allowed to add some technic pin hole pieces if you want. I hope this sparks a great video idea.
As soon as this set was announced I wanted to buy it just for this b model, love this narrow tall building, just what I needed to squeeze between in a tight space. Really nice details, appreciate the printed 2x2 tiles and blue torso with classic space logo, for it's price it's a really good set.
was there live for this build since I was really looking forward to it and it was such a nice time. Thanks for the great content and coverage always making me feel like I'm keeping up with Lego like in the good old days of the magazine as a kid. Keep at it!
Great set and options, i like it a lot. Thank you for making all builds and videos on them, i appreciate you informing us on what we can get out of our purchases.
This set besides amazing builds also is great as building starter set. You can learn A LOT while building all of these and then as final test you can try to build one yourself! Solid ammount of windows, doors and bricks!
I too also like this scale, fits nicely with $10-$20 sized vehicle sets imo. With modern pieces and colours, I think generic lego structures like a house can now be quite fun little sets to collect even for adults. Imagine a lego town of modular commodities that are just $50~ each instead of $300 city buidlings.
This alternate builds reminds me of another alternate build from 4996: Beach House that came out 15 years earlier. These sets are the epitome of their era with the older one being cheaper (by $10 adjusted for inflation), larger, and containing a baseplate. While the new one is more detailed and contains minifigures (which is good but should not cost extra), I prefer the old one, especially the in the context of being a creator set. Its much harder to build anything substantial since there are less bricks but so many plates, tiles, and small pieces. There is probably a happy middle ground for me but it certainly is closer to the sets of the era of 2005-2014, the period following the dark ages.
I’ll have to buy the pieces to make that classic Space ship. My heart just melted seeing that! This is a nice build, especially when it’s the shorter closed version. Looks much better that way.
That is pretty well done. I actually like the tall version more, but this form isn't bad. Getting 2 of these, leaving them in tall form, and putting them back to back would probably look good, though you'd probably want to change the interior and change the water to street or yard on the back side. I think that is some sort of tall standing flower in a pot on the top floor, but not sure what. The train and the spaceship are great! I am really strongly considering getting this set at some point. Thanks for the review!
I saw those clips in the beginning and thought the were just because they had no other fitting parts available. The transformation feature completely blew my mind.
This is a lovely set, all three builds are really well done. Currently the creator line is one of the last Lego product lines where the classic Lego spirit is alive and good value is to be found.
One other thing you could do with the tall house, is buy a second set, swap the bar and clip pieces on the second version, then combine them into one building (the same can be done with the Cozy House build by removing the hinge plates and mirroring the second build).
Thanks Jang - this is a great set, it reminds me a lot of the very early '560 Town House' - which I've just built again after watching your 3 reviews 👍
Increased price and increased value, as you say, is the key. It’s one thing to just ramp up prices, but making sets better goes some way to justifying that.
All 3 builds are impressive which is rare for a 3-in-1. Unfortunate that they are all variations of “cozy houses” though but not really an issue since they are different enough.
Honestly this 3-1 seems to be a must have for any family. Such a reasonable price for the amount of open ended play and building value.

They're really upping their game with the 3 in 1 sets lately! Thanks for taking the time to review all three
This is a fabulous little set. Love how the designers took the time to give the 3 builds the ability to close up or be open backed. Adds so much more to the value and varied building experience. Great review.
For anyone interested, I believe the train in the attic is a reference either to set 726-1 or 396-1
I like this new format with a separate video for each build. It's going to make it easier for people searching specifically for A, B or C.
The two colors making the roof surprisingly makes it look textured!

I guess that Cafe is now an Internet Cafe.
That’s amazing to see it come down and become a fully closed building
best creator 3-1 in a long time...........
The idea of a combination cafe/art gallery is certainly creative

That brick built dog is better than it has any right to be
I really like the look of this alternate build. It would fit well with the LEGO City Family House that also is tall and narrow.
Great set and options, i like it a lot.
Thank you for making all builds and videos on them, i appreciate you informing us on what we can get out of our purchases.

Can i just say i do not dream often but last night i had a dream that i was watching your video on this.
I hope the designer sees your glowing review!

I bought this set because of your review! It is a great build, I love it :) Thanks for doing this!

Really good b-model.
Oh my God, that train is so perfect.
I’ll have to buy the pieces to make that classic Space ship. My heart just melted seeing that!
This is a nice build, especially when it’s the shorter closed version. Looks much better that way.
I got this after seeing your first video about it 😊 Can't wait to put it together 👏🏻

I saw those clips in the beginning and thought the were just because they had no other fitting parts available. The transformation feature completely blew my mind.
You've convinced me that I need to go buy one now!
Very tall!
I thought it was a flower at first
Nice set, great revieuw! Ty Jang. 😊
Agreed! This set is a home run all the way! All 3 houses are very nice!
I just watched a bunch of your classic space reviews and that little classic spaceship design made me so unreasonably excited! 😅
The 3 in 1 sets are my favorite because I don't feel like I'm getting robbed when I buy them. Looking at you Jurassic Park and Star Wars...
Apologize if mentioned before, but I think the sculpture in the art room could be Treehouse 21318
Lego needs to make more houses like this set.
I wish you would've shown the inside of when its closed up.
That is some clever design, almost makes it a 3 1/2 in 1 set.
This is a lovely set, all three builds are really well done. Currently the creator line is one of the last Lego product lines where the classic Lego spirit is alive and good value is to be found.
My favorite clone trooper has to be captain rex. I can't wait for lego to release a new one. I plan on making him a cloth kama.
Love this!
They should release this exact set next year in a different colour
Lego house building battle pack yes pls
This set seems great
The little tree struck me as the LEGO Ideas Tree House.
One other thing you could do with the tall house, is buy a second set, swap the bar and clip pieces on the second version, then combine them into one building (the same can be done with the Cozy House build by removing the hinge plates and mirroring the second build).
Could that green one one the 2nd floor be Tree House ?
Thanks Jang - this is a great set, it reminds me a lot of the very early '560 Town House' - which I've just built again after watching your 3 reviews 👍
Sometimes a Lego build gives away its Scandinavian/European origins, and this is one of those, I think.
The 3 in 1 sets are gonna allow time to build a Lego city a heck of a lot cheaper than the modular buildings that’s for sure
Love this set, so glad I got it.
When this set comes here to Costa Rica I definitely will buy it, along with some Indiana Jones set n.n
I just bought this set because I want to make city I finished the house and I love it
Is it the lego treehouse?
Just picked this up on sale at the local Lego store… $45, not a bad deal 😊
The weird plant thing at 3:55 kinda reminds me of the ming plant from Subnautica. Either way, it's definitely a plant
Increased price and increased value, as you say, is the key. It’s one thing to just ramp up prices, but making sets better goes some way to justifying that.
Hey Jang! The unknown items in the attic - I'm thinking knitting needles with yarn! Do you reckon?
All 3 builds are impressive which is rare for a 3-in-1. Unfortunate that they are all variations of “cozy houses” though but not really an issue since they are different enough.
Is it as tall as a modular building?
The two-storey version doesn't work for me as there's no real continuity between front and back; the sides just look a mess.
some kind of a plant????
