Yup I'll be buying lots of these I suspect. It also has a blue bucket
like the peasant's back pack. I especially like the three 1x6x2 arched
railings. I've been wanting these in white, and up until this set, the
only place I've seen them in white is 1 in 5805. Oh, it also looks like
there are a set of dark pink pots (1 of each type)

Yet another real nice set, though a little pricier.

There is another interesting piece in this, that train folks may come to
desire, the sides of the coach seem to have 1x3x2 rounded bricks, which
would make a somewhat reasonable 6 wide curved tank top, I hope it comes
out in a better set for parts. The large wagon wheels also look
interesting.
I wonder what I'm going to do with all the Millimys? Perhaps an army of
Valkyries or something?
