the lighthouse 5770 and Hillside house 5771 had a figure as well.

Good to know, I should look into getting those! I hadn't even seen the hillside house before, but I have had my eye on the light house, guess I didn't look close enough to notice the minifig.

I picked up the apple tree house but unfortunately no minifig was included.

I do like the beach house, blue is better than the yellow, IMO!

TRU has the seaside house for $55 - 415 pieces. I wonder what the regular price on it is? The lighthouse was 500 something pieces for $40 and Hillside was 714 for $70 so either TRU really marked this one up or else it's overpriced to start with imo. I like it though so I will def. pick it up on sale some day.

I actually like them without patterns sometimes. With a pattern, they end up using the same minifigure over and over in every single set and you end up with a whole bunch of the same pattern. If you try using that same minifigure in a scene it looks unbelievable because when are you going to find three guys wearing the same shirt outside of a uniform or common-interest group gathering? With plain shirts its a lot more believable. "Hey, two guys are both wearing red shirts."

Plus most of my shirts don't have patterns on them. I can't get an accurate minifigure to represent me.
Lol I didnt mean the pattern on the minifigs shirt, I meant it would be nice if they continue the trend of including a minifig(s) in these creator sets. Not the same minifig, of course I would like different minifigs lol.

Don't think we've seen this one yet. 7345 Transport Chopper. Really neat that it can store the car!

Well, imo, too many helicopter has been released this year. One from 6863 Batman set, and one from 6866 Wolverine set. How many chopper do we need?

This set was leaked sometime during February, I believe. I've been looking forward to it for a while. I wish it were minifigure scale, but oh well.

Well then, you're really not going to like it when the 9396 Technic Rescue helicopter is released! Based on what I've gathered, it is likely this set will be released in August, along with the 9398 Rock Crawler (both sets look really cool).

At the Lego Store yesterday, the Seaside House (7346) is $50! :eek:

I think that's pretty steep.

I was hoping that it'll be $40 or $45 max.
