love this set!! wish i owned it. i miss simplistic lego

I feel like this set came close to resulting in a lawsuit. Like 50% of the way.

@MCLegoboy:
Re: yesterday, it was a cheap, hole in the wall apartment that we could afford. It did have two bedrooms, but it was not spacious. The aforementioned room was basically just one really long room, with the kitchen making an "L" shape off one end. In that entire room, only the kitchen had _a_ window. The only other two windows in the entire apartment were in the two bedrooms that filled in the rest of that rectangle. The TV was at the far end, so it would take a careful arrangement of mirrors for the TV to even be able to tell if it was night or day. There may have been another chair sitting next to the TV opposite the sofa (been a few years, so details are fuzzy). But the place was small enough there wasn't room for a proper coffee table in the middle of this cluster of furniture, and the dining room table was only big enough to comfortably seat four. And yet, some guy one floor up, who had an even smaller one-bedroom apartment, and thought he was Frank Sinatra, would hold large parties on a regular basis (I went to one, and you had to check your clearance in every direction before turning around).

That's four more books!

One of my favorites. I didn't own it, but I built it from spares. Funny enough, I got the 2x2x printed parts years later from a second hand lot. Now it's a staple of my town. This guy brought joy to many kids in that town, to me as well.

Looking at the way he’s wielding that parasol, he’s absolutely about to break out into a song and dance number

Among the best Town mini sets. I put mine outside my favourite set: Hamburger Stand. I loved the opening fridge-cart.

Thankfully Belville eventually gave us some actual ice cream, too!

I always wanted this as a kid but for one reason or another never got it and until now I had even forgotten it existed at all.

This one has some surprising "back of the box" builds given the limited selection of parts: https://letsbuilditagain.com/instructions/6601/ . Not to mention _no stickers_.

This was one of my fisrt sets. Nowadays I'm still amazed about the playability of a set with 30 parts, and the alternate models, taking into account the limited number of parts available at that time.

I still have mine, with strong wear, but managed to get another one with the prints in pristine condition. Never tired about this kind of sets.

I could be wrong but i seem to remember this same build being used in the Lego Harry Potter games. Almost certain there is one in Diagon Alley at the start of years 1-4.

The only thing that would've made this set better, would be if he had actual ice cream to sell...

Fun fact: those quarter double circle tiles are from the Scala theme. Not the 'My Dad' Scala from the late 90s and early 00s, but the old jewelry line. In white it debuted in set 309 Bracelet 'Fantasy' (312 on Bricklink...?) and later in a ferry promotional set, 1924 Viking Line Ferry. In yellow it was exclusive to the aforementioned Scala theme.

A sweet treat to end the summer. Wait, you say there's no ice cream whatsoever? What a ripoff!

School's starting back up, well, at least in Florida, which means I can't stay up as late as I'd like to get my quips in early. I don't like being hours late to all the fun, but I'll try my best to keep the comment streak going.

Yay, a set I actually have!

Just a fun little set, mostly interesting for the prints. Though it always annoyed me I had only two of those quarter cirlce tiles, and never came full circle....

The one thing that's hurting my brain right now: I very much remember this set having a printed dish for that parasol.....or did I have that from another set?

An Ice cream cart with no ice-creams, I can see lots of disappointed kids, and why did it take so long for the lollipop piece to appear when the need was so apparent!

I definitely 100% remember that I had that brick with the printed ice cream sign in my Lego collection as a kid, possibly the earliest printed piece I owned outside of the ones from Freestyle, and presumably it had originally come from this set because I only had one of them (according to Bricklink, all other sets with that print have two of it). But I also know for sure that I never had the rest of the unique parts from this set, so I just have no idea where that part came from: it's a mystery. Just like that one classic motorcycle piece that I think I've mentioned before.

Since they were part of my Lego collection from before I can even remember, I have to guess that at some point my parents supplemented my 4146 Freestyle Bucket with pieces from a used lot or other, which would explain where such seemingly random parts came from. I never questioned it at the time, it's only in later years (and since discovering Bricklink) that I began to wonder!

I might have a few parts from this set, as I recognise the prints. One of my parents must've had this.

Son, is that you? If the ice cream print is extremely worn then it might be!

I remember the instructions for this being arbitrarily in an old app.

Wasn't the ice cream tiles back then?

Nice - I didn't know that existed, but I was able to throw one together (minus the printed pieces, and with a couple of colour substitutions) this afternoon.

He's not making bank like 2885 Ice Cream Seller, though.

Would make a nice polybag these days.. have there been any non-Friends ice cream carts in recent history? I know there have been a truck or two.
