Spectacular Creator 3-in-1 sets revealed!
Posted by Huw,
Two new Creator 3-in-1 sets have been revealed, both of which uphold the superb quality standard that we have come to expect from the theme in recent years.
The main model of 31153 is a modern waterfront house, while 31151 builds three distinct, and equally appealing, prehistoric animals.

Creator has never been better.
31153 is the poor man's 42639 but is still lovely.
I don't think either one of these is for me. The house looks completely boring, and the t-rex is just an upscaled 31058.
Almost 100 catalog numbers and seven years later, we finally have a replacement for 31058 . Piece count inflation!
But I'll definitely get the house. Even buying more of those would make a perfect reseidential neighbourhood!
These look fantastic. Creator 3-in-1 always impresses.

Or, a downscaled 75936.
That alternate looks like it's the Leaning Tower.
This is a superb update to 4507 - which I still have on my windowsill after 20 years!
Poor T-rex broke his wrists :(
31151 is an update to one of the longest running sets: 31058. Looks great, like just about all the recent 3-in-1 sets.
I actually love the continuity between 31151 and 31058.
It's like a parent Rex taking their baby out for a walk.
Finally a buildable T-Rex without chicken-feet or sneakers.
That "Modern House" is quite nice, although the alternate builds feel a bit samey, rather low effort.
The dino set though....at first glance it indeed made me think 31058 again? But only then I realized the difference in size. But weird to basically see an upscaled version of that set, not just for the main model but also the alternate builds. Complete lack of inspiration or a brilliant move?
"Prehistoric animals"
Hat tip, Huw.
Come on LEGO, do a transforming Grimlock, you know you want to!
T-Rex I can do without, I got 31058 for my son and we still have it intact. The house on the other hand, looks nice and modern. I especially loved the single story alternate model with stone wall pattern. I think I'll build one, I have cpouple of large windows and a few round tiles. Heck, I'll throw in a pool, too, just for the fun of it...
We all love a Dinosaur, although I have to say The T-rex is great but the other two are definitely after thoughts. You would think the smaller models would have the use of more parts (as in they dont use 100% so choices of some parts for a smaller model) but they dont look great. Will be making a T-rex though and the next question. When it is out in Brown?

Hey, don't fix what isn't broken! I'd absolutely love if they re-released old sets so this is a win in my book.
These both look truly excellent! 3-in-1 sets are fast becoming one of my favourite themes.
Lego, thats NOT A TYRANOSAURUS, Thats ALLOSAURUS

Welcome to period most commonly referred to as "modernism" and the architecture movement "international style".
Those houses are amazing. I love that style of architecture in real houses so can’t wait. Prices are probably ridiculous though. T-Rex looks good. Not so keen on the other 2.
These look cool, except the dinosaur is basically just a scaled down and less cool 4958
RTX version of 31058
The T.Rex looks good, but a bit unfinished. Great from the top, but the wide, flat underbody looks just weird... probably better pictured from a higher angle!
The house isn't as good as 42639 but will no doubt sell much better among Brickset members due to its thankful lack of mini-dolls!
31153 is good, still tempted by 43639, but I really want backs on them.
Once again Creator 3 in 1 can be counted on.
One of my favorite lines for years now.
I quite like the Modern House, but the windows are guaranteed to come horrendously scratched right out of the box.
Mightier Mighty Dinosaurs?
It's pretty amazing how 31058 is still for sale, and so fun of LEGO to remake it into a bigger set.
Is there any function in the Brickset database to see which sets were for sale the longest? Way back in the day they'd be available for years and years, but these days anything being available for over 5 years has to be very rare. Maybe Brickset staff could put together a top 10 of the longest lasting sets of the "modern" era?
Both very nice. I'm glad for 31151 - 31058 has been around forever and cheap but it was a bit too 'crud' for my taste (compared to all the nice animal creator set lately).
The house is fine too. The yellow seat on the second floor is an inspired build. It took me a while to figure out how they did it. My only complain about the set: the palm trees are ridiculously anaemic.
Still, City and Technic will have the lion share of my money this year.

Architects will love the Mid-Century House!
Creator used to be my favorite theme but it looks pretty boring to me lately. Probably more to do with me than the theme though.

The more muted colors make it more useful in my book; not a huge fan of the designs, but the parts look super-useful for city MOCs.
Not that TLG is going to listen to me, and I know the argument that open areas are easier for play, which is great in City and Friends, but...
Please stop selling me half a Creator house!!

It's the love child of 31058 & 31121!

Yes. It's sad that LEGO designers didn't care to check anatomy. Other new large Creator animal sets are much better (31129, 31150, 31154) as is T. rex skull 76964.
though the alternate builds are sometimes like : same thing than the main build except smaller and not as good
The 2024 Creator 3-in-1 sets are the best I've ever seen.
LOVE the architecture of the "modern waterfront house"
It won't take much to give it a back and modular-ize it.
At worst case, it'll mean buying two of them and slamming them together
Can't wait.
That mansion looks sweeeet. And as much as I'm not into buildable animals from Lego I must admit that Dino looks fantastic. But that mansion tho, I'm gonna get it for sure.

Already built the other half for it based off pictures. https://www.flickr.com/photos/55973205 @N08/53693483447/in/dateposted/
Flickr links don't work, you'll have to copy paste it into your browser.
The dinosaur has evolved
dang it I wanted more 3in1 modular buildings. Not another standalone house :(
Funny, while everyone is comparing the new T-Rex from 31151 to the previous 3-in-1, I actually think it's closest in scale to the one from 76956 and actually want to see them side-by-side.

T-rex tries!
Wow that modern house is just incredible. Along with the new wave of city sets Im blown away. Where am I going to get the money to pay for all of this? Maybe sell a limb
That house looks NICE :D
I really want to like the T-Rex, but it just feels... disproportionate, for some reason. Both the alternate models, however, are superb.
the 31153 Modern house and 60438 Sailboat look like a good pair, and give me nice 90's vibes.
