A simple 4x4 turntable under the platform keeps it firmly in place. The tower built up on a 6圆 plate sits perfectly between four 6圆 wedge plates (Element ID 6030845 | Design ID 6106).
This building, however, uses none of them to accomplish its angles. We have all seen hinge plates and have even recently got a specialised corner door frame for this purpose. Having a corner tower at a 45° angle right next to its adjacent walls isn’t new. There are some interesting solutions to ostensibly simple problems in the winter station.
I don’t want to sound like I know what I am talking about, but TLG does a lot of tests, so presumably it knows its stuff.Ī building, a vehicle and its modest surroundings all under 1000 bricks wouldn’t really be expected to pose a great building challenge anyway, but, fear not, you will be spared an hour-long stacking festival. Because of this, sets have to abide by certain rules in order to fit into a specific age recommendation (that’s the number on the box we all hoped our parents would ignore when buying our birthday presents). This requires orientation skills and great attention to detail which may not yet be fully developed in some children. This includes things like having two very visually similar pieces of the same colour close together in the build. This is also acknowledged by the 12+ marking on the box compared to most other sets in the line which are 16+.Īs a certain LEGO set designer, who might not like to be named, recently explained to a group of keen AFOLs, there are certain techniques and elements which are known to cause difficulties in the building process for some children and are thus avoided in most other LEGO themes.
Although the Winter Village Holiday sets are part of the Creator Expert line, there isn't all that much expert in them.
