Officer, arrest this adolescent for indecent exposure in this public park.
Suddenly, I have to GO!
[don't forget, when you gotta go, don't squeeze the Charmin!]
Does anyone else hang their towels above their water closet? Is it some deranged form of peek a boo? Poop a boo?
@MeisterDad:
Seems like it'd be incredibly annoying, as that's right about where your head would be located unless you're hunched way over...or standing.
Not a lot of privacy in this "bathroom." Does it even qualify as a room at this point?
The great thing about this set is....
Well, the really cool parts are...
I got nothing.
It’s only just hit me that the flower stalk piece with the anti-stud has been retired! Such an iconic piece too. I know they have a newer piece with the bar on the end but that always has to go in something.
Interesting moments for children to play out...
Who needs privacy, right?
@GSR_MataNui:
This privy is a publy!
@chrisaw:
Seems so. It was a bad design, though. It had really bad clutch, and even a slight bump would make it pop off the stud. The bar version can be plugged into an Apollo stud, which is more stable.
I need more information on that toilet piece. Someone give me the straight poop about it.
Well...that's no "room"...and I see no "bath" either...
Thank God there's not more pixels in this image.

They're there to discourage anyone else from wandering in and stinking out her dressing room while she's getting ready!
Well, as long as My Dad isn’t there…
I'm not sure if having couple of regular parts qualifies this as a Lego set in the usual sense. Then again we have seen many Clikits "sets", too.
But are the mirror and toilet close enough to use both at the same time…
I'd hate to be the estate agent trying to sell this house and finding the positive words about this "needs modernising" bathroom.
It is better than the Sindy one because for Sindy you had to buy the sink and the lav separately.
But then again with Sindy you could also buy a shower which you could fill with water and the shower would work.
This Scala one feels like it should come with one of those crocheted dolls that sits over the loo roll.
When I see that it is a Scala set, I expected some really good comment here.
And I am not disappointed!
I'm one of the 53 people that own this set. Bought it off Ebay a few months ago with box and instructions. Nearly complete apart from some of the small accessories, most of which I was able to get in a recent Bricklink order.
Is it just me, or was this color scheme for a bathroom vintage even in the 90s? This reminds me of one from the 60s or 70s with all that beige.
What 90s kid would want to play with something that looks so discolored by design?
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a place of punishent you get sent to by My Dad. The background doesn't help.
Maybe it's so beige because it's actually outside?
@Binnekamp perhaps this is actually My Dad's Grandma's bathroom.
The set name should be "Visiting Granny's House and Wondering How Much It Will Cost To Change This Bathroom When You Inherit The House"
@Brickalili: You can save time that way.
Mrs Eiffel’s apartment.
Which one wins — this Scala bathroom or the original 1979 Homemaker bathroom?
I think I’d take the 1979 set. Agree?
How many of you agree this is the better Lego bathroom set:

I know right? So practical
