Random set of the day: Emma on the Move
Posted by Huwbot,
Today's random set is 3151 Emma on the Move, released in 2000. It's one of 11 Scala sets produced that year. It contains 65 pieces and 1 minifig, and its retail price was US$15.
It's owned by 40 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you might find it for sale at BrickLink or eBay.

Boy, this sure is a random set.
... bwahahaha! Yeah, the Huwbot is definitely trolling us now.
Um...what is it?
^A set not releated to the Lego Friends Emma........
This was during my dark ages.
No regrets.
Huwbot is becoming self-aware.
It is using Belville to learn about its targets and predict their reactions.
First Brickset ... then the world ...
Huwbot issuing an urgent reminder to us to learn from history there. It's almost a public service announcement.
No
What happened? This is not a car! :)
Ah yes. Lego's 'foam' era. These were dark times.
The Huwbot must be broken.
Awesome set! ;)
Well this is awful. Very glad that Scala was dead and buried before my dark ages properly ended
I really thought that this was some Scala set where a girl was paralysed from the neck down...
I'll admit, I never quite saw the point of the Scala and Belville themes. I get that Lego was trying to reach out to attract girls in a different way... but it was trying to do so by being something that it simply wasn't. Dolls with a few brick-built accessories don't match my definition of Lego.
I'm curious, though: did the target audience ever take to these sets? I've no idea if they would have had appeal to the intended market or not.
Well, it's 65 pieces so that's still pretty small, but above the 50 Huw suggested for his embargo, but now it's Scala and looks like that, soooo I don't know, I think Huwbot is still in a funk, or it has become self-aware and is trolling us.
And M8 yesterday wondered if we'd get a Clikits set today, and well, not too far off.
This is the funniest thing.
Definitely not a bot
Really wish people would stop bashing Scala, Belville and Clikits so much. Yes, they were popular with their target audience. No, they're not what Lego has traditionally produced, but that doesn't make them inherently Bad. Not to your personal taste, certainly, but then the vast majority of the negative comments on this thread appear to have been written by those who have never been in the target market for these sets. For girls who liked being able to have a doll's house that could look different every time it was played with, but weren't very interested in the actual building (just the finished product), Scala was the best toy ever. I wish there was still something like it on the market today.

Agree. At first glance I thought this was a picture of "Quadriplegic Barbie" or something.
Awesome Empresso! I'd love to hear more about the nostalgia of Scala, especially from someone still active in the Lego community.
