I think most people will be buying this set for its parts and not its model.
However, the large orange screen and turret/tower are very much "Belville"
scale and may not be the most useful for other themes (lame parts contest
elements?!). However, the onion dome, arches, lamp posts and accessories are
sure to prove popular with Townies. And if you want to enliven any models
with some non-standard colours, this is the set for you.

Those who like this set for parts would also probably also like 9650, the
scenery resource set, which makes a perfect supplemental parts set to the
Belville Orient series, sand green cornerless plates notwithstanding.

Extra Elements

I do not recall any extra elements.

I think there is an extra carrot top and plant stem.  No more than one ever
shows up at a time in any pic, and the set only comes with a single sprue of
four flowers which wouldn't be sufficient to petal two flower stems.
