Are the car and tree a part of the house?

never seen it. But it is a cozy house.

weetabix?

I love LEGO's truth in advertising with their early sets. Also like the white gate parts as well.

Yes, the gates and the fact that they lined up so satisfyingly with 2x2 tiles to make perfect driveways was part of the reason that 346-2 was one of my favourite ever sets!

Nice house.

Only Brickset's set number of course https://brickset.com/article/25845/lego-weetabix-promotions

I loved those fences and gates as a child. Still have them and use them regularly. Very satisfying how they fit together.

I’m sure I blew this up to reach a million studs in a Lego game bonus level…

@MeisterDad: I've wanted some of those gates for decades, I'd love to see them bring those back.

@Torrent_Studios:Yes, Lego did some promotional sets in conjunction with them."

I wonder, why have they largely stopped doing them? I know that they still partner with some clothing brands and such, but with their current popularity, I think partnerships like this would succeed as well.

As problematic as it is that the person can’t fit inside the car, how hard is it to make a garage/carport that’s wide enough for the car to park inside?

I built this set only last week!
That reminds me - I've got a good set of instructions I can scan and send to Huw.......

Our house
is a very very very fine house
with two cats in the yard
fife used to be so hard
now everything is easy 'cause of you...

@Huw, this set incorrectly has a different Weetabix set's minifigures linked to it.

It's not at all to scale for the "fig" there, but that's a stately little house.

My parents collected vouchers from Weetabix boxes to get this for my sister's Christmas present. It came with WEETABIX2 and WEETABIX3. I've always believed the three to be a single set.

The instructions for the windmill were lost the same day, probably thrown out with all the Christmas wrapping paper.

I had the weetabix castle - I think I made my mum eat weetabix for months to get the tokens

This house comes with 6 foot tall mesh fence for some reason. All that's missing is the barbed wire at the top to keep the local kids from messing with the immaculate garden. It almost seems like Mr. Wilson has gone off the deep end to keep Denis the Menace out!

A HOUSE!

Love those black sloping tiles…

Chomping on your Weetabix then suddenly you bite down and realise you've got a lego tree in your mouth.... :-)

Always strikes me how much of the old Lego houses - both sets and idea book models - were about the fences and roofs. Small, simple set here, but a wealth of cool black angled slope pieces that must comprise 40-50% of the set’s total piece count.

@StyleCounselor:
Clearly you've never had the original form of Quaker's Shredded Wheat. My dad used to eat that, I believe two pillows per breakfast. I felt it was unpalatable without at least a half cup of sugar, and even then it was a race to work through the wheat shreds and get to the ~1/4" of milky sugar left in the bottom of the bowl.

A friend when we aware at middle school in the UK (that is around 11 years) had this still made up and rather dusty, I was always fascinated by the 45 degree slopes and the amount of complex shapes you could make with all the valley and hip pieces (indeed I have been assembling just such a roof this evening on my town but of dark blue slopes!) - of course you couldn't source these bits in any quantity pre Bricklink but its what I call 'proper' Lego. There were some later promotional Weetabix Minifig scale town sets later on built on 2 32 square road plates, I think i got one for my 6th birthday in 1978 - they cost a bit of cash plus loads of tokens off Weetabix boxes - we only ever usually had supermarket brand stuff and I didn't suspect a thing when we started having branded breakfast cereal!

@StyleCounselor:
Sorry, that's Nabisco Shredded Wheat, not Quaker. There is also a Quaker Shredded Wheat, but the original large pillow-shaped biscuit design was created in 1892, with the intention of selling the machines rather than the food. When that idea failed, the inventor used the machines he'd already produced to start manufacturing the cereal. His company ended up being bought by Nabisco in 1928, who sold the Shredded Wheat brand to Post 65 years later. Of course, the name was ruled too generic to trademark, and when the patent for the production method expired, anyone could copy the product and name, but it was apparently hard enough to compete with Nabisco that Post not only bought the brand from Nabisco, but there was even a period right after the transfer where they marketed it as Nabisco Shredded Wheat, brought to you by Post, with both logos appearing on the box.

I actually just had some of the sister product invented by the same guy, known as Triscuits. That, Nabisco retained, and the name is distinctive enough for the trademark to hold up even though the patent expired over a century ago.

I only know of shredded wheat from that weird mnemonic for cardinal directions in English (N-E-S-W, Never Eat Shredded Wheat).

For a while, I mained Zangief in Street Fighter, whose Final Atomic Buster is activated by performing two full circles on the thumb-pad (plus punch). So that becomes Eat, Eat Shredded, Shredded, Shredded Wheat, Wheat, Never Wheat, Never, Never Eat, Eat, Eat Shredded, Shredded, Shredded Wheat, Wheat, Never Wheat, Never, Never Eat (Punch).

Just remember that handy mnemonic, and you, like me, can also become somewhat okay at Zangief and other grappler-characters. I believe in you."

Sorry. I grew up in a Mortal Kombat/hot porridge family, respectively. Scorpion was my jam. Thus, the deliciousness of SF/cold cereals was lost to me.

Now, I only eat breakfast/play vids if I want to waste a whole day. Breakfast, because I have to take a big nap afterward. After all, why have breakfast unless you're going whole hog with fats, carbs, n Bloody Marys?

The only time I eat cold cereal is as an after dinner desert. And, it sure ain't shredded wheat or any of that ilk.

@NotProfessorWhymzi:
Whether soaked in milk or not, you must have been spitting blood by the time you started that third box. I'm pretty sure the basic Cap'n Crunch pieces were the result of cross-breeding breakfast cereal with razor blades.

@Stoker_Stu: And then your mother tell ya' to "Eat your 'Greens'."...:)

That's an award-winning non-nutritive cereal varnish developed by the ethereal, ephemeral, eternal Clark W. Griswold!

I have all three sets that were issued. We must have eaten a lot of cereal at the time. Still have the original boxes for them too. Happy days.

Even when I was "only" on holiday in the UK in the Eighties and Nineties I collected Weetabix coupons. As well as Tony the Tiger Frosties coupons and Esso coupons (again with a Tiger logo). We got quite a few nice promotional items that way, though most of them not LEGO related.

I like the roof, some interesting corner and 45 degree overlap pieces I didn't know existed at the time, and probably quite rare in black. This seems to be the best of the 4 sets available, does anyone remember how many boxes of Weetabix you needed to eat? Guessing 3 x 72 mega box.

I just found the original promo advert - apparently only 1 token, plus £4.45 (which is around £28 today) so not exactly a cheap offer...

I have always hoped that e could have a modular building with a roof constructed with these roof bricks, with gable ends and hips etc.
