Is is a modular

It does look nice. I may pick this up at some point. But I’m not sold on it yet. I already don’t use the browns I have. It would be hard to justify getting more.

love it. Need to pick up some work at the side gig so i can buy the jazz club (hoping to pick that one up on the 15th) and then this when it comes out

Shocked it’s less than $200…! Looks great, but doesn’t fit my collection.

Beautiful set, definitely going to buy someday. I'll probably try and modify it to be a Mystery Shack, and I suspect many others will as well.

I'm in love...

Looks nice, but it's just not something I am interested in in the slightest. Pass.
Might buy the bright light orange / brown butterfly separately though.

Finally an Idea set I can pass on. Just not doing anything for me. Maybe sometime waaaaay down the road. Looks good however.

If you drop the butterflies.

Wow it looks lovely but 180€ ? Yikes !

Do we know the size of the built set ?

The original idea had a bit more of a backwater/apocalyptic vibe, but it's perhaps understandable that they lightened the mood a little.

Is that light yellow hair new, or new this year?

Interesting reference to the donut thief from the Police Station.

What’s up with the figures all swapping wigs? Haha! Love this set!

anyone else notice that the minifigures are all variations of each other? like they switch torsos, thats the second time wheve seen something like that (foosballtable being the other) could we see that with all unlicesnsed ideas sets?

(looking at the additional images, it seems that their ranomized, switching hair pieces, torsos, legs, heads!)

I think it looks lush

I wish they could have kept the roof a little ramshackle somehow, but that's easily done by just loosening the pieces (which I think is how the original did it?).

I prefer the new trees. Lovely set overall.

I suspect it's the same piece as with the new friends character (Olly I think?) so it's new for this year.

Quite the lovely set! But I’m super excited that Dark Green 1x4x3 Dark Green windows are back on the menu!!!

"Too bad its all renders. I wonder how it looks like with real plates as TLG has some quality issues with news brick's sprue point being highly visible."
I don't think they're renders. But fixed up as usual, with sprue marks removed etc. Then there's the "lifestyle" photos too.

Woah. This is one of Ideas sets that actually looks better than the project! I will try to get it for pieces itself

It looks great! I love the cosy vibe.
I'm very glad they managed to keep the price under $200.

looks OK, but dont understand all the fuzz....

but...there is only one bed for 4 people??

and the man with long hair in the canoe in the second photo??

Are brown pieces still brittle or has that been already sorted out?

References to the Lego Treehouse & Typewriter in there, too.

Pricey

Tempted to get this rather than waiting for a 40% off discount on the Motorized Lighthouse. It definitely scratches the same itch for me

What on earth happened to the canoeist?

Please see 40651. My understanding is that it's called a 'dunny' or 'drop toilet.' Here in the U.S., we call it a 'voting booth.'

Simply put: Wow.

I like the spider in the attic. A nice use of the space available.

This is a lovely model, with some especially cool features that will surely pique the interest of fans (Thor’s hammer?). I’m sure the forthcoming review will make mention of the greedy price-tag.

"That's a lot of Mjölnirs at the bottom"

Mjölnir battlepack! Mjölnir, Mjölnir, Mjölnir!

I like it a lot. For those who think it doesn't look as good as the original fan design - it's true, but in the fan design, he had some of the wooden plank pieces not pushed all the way down to create texture. Lego can't do that in their official models as they shown them (because it's illegal), but you can still build them with plank pieces slightly loose to create the texture of the original one

Looks nice, but not sure where I'd put it. Might pick it up if there's a good GWP I want later on.

As soon as I saw the pictures of this, I thought it'd be one of those 'one day, maybe' sets. But actually, it's not as expensive as I'd expected. It's a really nice design, and has some lovely details in it. Definitely one of the more expensive sets I'll be considering this year.

Stunning, just needs an FJ40, and an genderless outhouse.

Really nice but the price is ridiculous. Might buy it once a bit discounted though.

I have loads of outdoor sets, mostly Creator 3-in-1. While not a named theme or subtheme Lego does keep coming out with sets in that vein. So I'm partial to this set. I really like what I see. Two drawbacks that are both related - one, the set is very large compared to the other Outdoor sets I have and, two, that size leads to a high price.

This is definitely a set I still have to rank and see where it falls before I buy it.

While I suppose you're right, I'd like an official source for that being illegal and if so the reason for it.

This one deserves a grade of A, for sure. My only complaint is that the promotional images swap minifig heads around.

Note that it could be integrated into Western displays.

Earth green 4x3 window frames!

Spiders are exactly why my wife don't like sleeping in the woods!
But BURP sideways, yes please! This set looks amazing though, and so much play and story telling opportunities! Big thumbs up!

I was expecting to like this, but I prefer the original, this looks too seamless for me, it needs to be a bit more rustic, jagged edges, etc. The colour too is not as attractive and the trees don't look that good.

Excellent. Takes me straight back to the Finlake holiday lodges I stayed in 35+ years ago!

And 6552.

Granted it's a modular, and it looks excellent. But what kind of building would you attach it to? And why? After all, it's supposed to be a cabin in the wild and you wouldn't want your neighbours to be that close...

The brick-built trees and plants have been excellent as of late. This looks really nice. Congrats to the designer(s)!

I like it, and it will be easily modded into a Christmas piece by adding some snow and using white tree leaves.

Oooooh. I’m a sucker for autumn/fall theming. Love it.

So cool to see lego take an ideas concept and turn it into something appealing for the mainstream. Was one of my favorite ideas recently, and the final product has fixed most of my complaints. Not sure yet when I’ll get it, but very impressed

It appears, by observation of box art and minifigures over the last year, that LEGO has added a social justice/diversity/representation requirement for all new products (at least adult-oriented ones). "

They're still mostly yellow, so not much diversity to speak off. And long hair on dudes is nothing new.

@illennium said:
"It is very funny to me that people are still complaining about diversity in a set with all-yellow minifigures.

I want LEGO to come out with a figure that has vitiligo and a misplaced rangefinder."

Grown-ups are so silly, aren't they?

To those saying it's a modular: it's not on a baseplate, and the connectors are 2 plates higher regardless. Even if they were at the right height, the roof overhangs and is in the way. It would need some major rebuilding.

Someone asked how big it was: the main building is 24x24 studs, and ~30 studs tall, which would make it 19.2 x 19.2 x 24 cm. Dont qoute me on that though.

Or, more commonly here in the US: Outhouse

It looks amazing.

However, the Gravity Falls fan in me feels like the IDEAS Mystery Shack won’t be approved since the two would be so similar. Nevertheless, this would be a great starting point for a MOC.

Wow - good eye! I think the white door doubling as a roll of toilet paper is one of my new favorite uses of a piece!

It’s a murder house. Looks like something a serial killer would live in.

Guys on the right, girls on the left.

"Banish those January blues..." With a set that won't be available until February. Snarking aside, this looks nice! I like the minifigs and the animal selection.

@Brickodillo: Obviously, the first ones to use that bed for something other than sleeping will be the first to go!

It's not modular. The pin on the left of the A-frame is used to connect the wood pile for the stove. I assume the Technic connector on the right side is used to attach the trees. Unless...

we get: set 21339 Steep Escarpment which will attach to the right of the A-Frame and
set 21340 White Water River which will attach to the left of the A-Frame. (Don't keep you hopes too high, while this would be cool, this is a joke and would make this scenery fairly expensive)

"That's a lot of Mjölnirs at the bottom"

A lot of what?

I have nothing negative to say about the set, it's charming and the colour choices are very warm and cozy. At the same time, I feel no need to own it, so will be skipping this one as not sure where to place it, I find the "Old Fishing Store" to be a bit more connectable to a city layout.

Also, I do plan to buy it, but I've learned (ie, Lego has taught me) to wait until there's a GWP I want or double VIP points and time my purchase properly.

How can we be sure the squirrel is "friendly"...?

Looks terrific, no doubt sturdier yet faithful to the submission. Will absolutely be getting this.

Otters, squirrels, and birds, oh my!

A bit torn on this; this looks absolutely beautiful, but I don’t have anywhere to put it at the moment.

@BulbaNerd4000 said:

They're probably surrounded by a forest. A bathroom by nature's design.

@BulbaNerd4000 said:
"Oh it's beautiful...

It's funny the Cabin build in 31139: Cozy House (brown roof) has the bathroom, and the normal houses in that set don't :)

I'm guessing that the trees got changed because the original style was too fiddly or parts intensive. A bit of a pity because they were quite natural looking in a way that the revised ones aren't. However I do like this and I will get it, whether I'll be able to keep it built or will have to dismantle and store it I'm not sure.

I love it, but it's just too expensive, and space is finally running out.

Well, it's the shovel next to the towel/TP roll that implies toilet paper, IMO. The outside shower is just a neat touch.

Octan seems to have leaned into the gas heating business, as well as the rocket fuel business. Really covering all the bases.

I want to see a picture of this by the tree house set from a couple years ago.

The only thing I don't like about this is that is severely reduced the chances of us getting a Mystery Shack. :(

Looks great though! :)

The cabin is nice but the hipsters have to go

This will look great next the treehouse

The way the economy is heading, this will be discounted in no time

Are any of those hammers or the whole building owned by a guy named Maxwell Silverhammer? It would certainly fit the serial killer angle of the building!

(currently listening to Beatles - Abbey Road album and the song about Max came on. Too much coincidence to resist it.)

@yellowcastle : An excellent point.

@Murdoch17: Another excellent point regarding Maxwell.

Looks like we got the Mystery Shack through after all

Jokes aside this looks really nice. Probably won't get it but it looks like a strong start for Ideas this year

Nice set but like others have said way too expensive.

Sad trees compared to the original, cabin colors seem off too. Great selection of animals but not $180 great.

I got to say I love the design of the trees and hope we see more like this in the future.

With a flat 30% standard Ideas discount I for sure will get it :)

This lacks so much of the charm in the original design. Disappointing honestly.

Very disapointed. Fan model was way better. These trees are awfull. The same happened with jazz quartet. I really loved the fan model and the lego version was terrible...

Lego fans output > Lego designer’s.

An Idea set, not on a baseplate?

the tonal shift is a bit sad but understandable... the og was more people from the woods, not tourist cabin with city folk...

still nice, but will pass it for sure

I prefer to use a bucket than dig my own hole.

Also, why no poo pieces?

Not sure where post this....

I believe it’s the first moth in general! The only other moth-adjacent Lego products I can think of are the 3 Killer Moth minifigs from Batman and his Mighty Micros Mothmobile, which looked more like a housefly-mobile in my opinion.

Something that's occurred to me: I think this set will hold the record for most Mjonirs in a set forever.

Does anyone know or can tell if the four windows on the two sides can be pushed out? There seems to be a 1x4 tile at the base of the windows that seems somewhat recessed out, and I wonder if that’s the piece to “grab onto” and pull up.

I expect that they can’t or else that movement would have been in the promo video but it’s be awesome if they could!

Another Ideas set butchered by the laziness and ineptitude of LEGO designers.
And with a ridiculously overpriced tag to go alongside it.

Nope.
This one will be a skip unless I find it for 150€ or less, which is the actual value of the set after being ruined in comparison who what we actually voted for.

It's the two studs deep window frame so no they can't.

"Are brown pieces still brittle or has that been already sorted out?"

Lego has changed the brown recipe so it shouldn't be brittle anymore. I think they made the change around 2018. I haven't had any problems with parts from this era, but it's a little too soon to tell if they have fixed it.

Well it looks good, but it also looks like it shouldn't cost more than £90. A lot of the roof detailing has been lost in translation, but that was inevitable. I'll have to reserve judgement until the review, and seeing it in the brick though!

@Paperdaisy said:

I loved the original trees but appreciate that the final version also has elaborate and realistic trees. I think this is one of the better revisions of a large Ideas set, even though I'm not sure I actually want to buy it.

Sad they failed to keep the wooden effect as the original for walls & roof, that’s what really pulled the eye onto this build for me. Lots of coo details inside. Not sure if will get it due to space issues.

Honestly I like it, but for what it costs there's just other sets that are much higher priority for me, and don't have a place to put it. Still love the Lego is making things like this though.
