Well if we're naming bricks, the printed ones are getting the shaft, and what about that green stringy thing? That's not even a brick! Horrible name for a set, I give it 10/10.
Regular bricks: I sleep
Transparent bricks: I sleep
Regular AND transparent bricks: shut up and take my money!
That old creator logo brings back all sorts of memories! Hard to believe that my collection began with this set.
This should be tagged "Clown." Yes, Brickset has tagged 65 sets, dating as old as '65, "clown." Lego really liked clowns, I guess.
Ah, one of the few first gen Creator sets I have.
The green 'Ninja' rope (that's what it came in first) and the transparent bricks were really nice to have, also remember how rare green and brown bricks still were back in 2001...
There's a CLOWN of the box. Are they trying to traumatize kids?
Look at that! LEGO was teasing the Fender Stratocoaster all the way back in 2001! Can't believe those YouTubers missed this easter egg
I consider this the predecessor to 11013. I still have my MOC of this set built. And I have three of the latter waiting to be used.
That clown tho.
Never mind the clown — even monkeys had yellow heads back then.
Plus, if the hair and shoes would have been red, it would have been a likeness of a certain fast food clown!
The set name is… a name.
What’s the model in the bottom right-hand corner of the picture of the book?
Oh, those prints bring back memories...
@MCLegoboy:
Well, looks like a typical prison-clown, so with regards to the “green stringy thing”, I’m going with “garrote”.
10 transparent parts spread onto 2 different designs (six 1x2 and four 2x2) and 3 colours (two trans -blue, four trans-red and four trans-green). That name is stretching it a little bit.

Looks like a chimp in a t-shirt
I think I bought this one at a car boot sale. I still have that string somewhere.
Bought it for the rope which I hardly use afterwards.
The bricks were usefull since it's hard to have to much.
I wish they still produced sets like this. I think they would make an easier transition from Duplos to regular bricks for kids in the 4-6 age range. I think this set has more total rectangular bricks than 10704-1, despite having about 25% of the total piece count.

When I was 5 I wanted set 6086, not any of this literal clownshoes bullshit. Lego is well aware of what kids want.
