I don't much like either Belville or Scala primarily due to the color scale (it
makes me ill, like looking at Las Vegas hotel carpeting for too long), and
there just aren't enough things to build with them. Once you build the set
according to instructions, the bulk of your time is just spent moving the
figures around from room to room.

But, consider that Belville is part of LEGO
SYSTEM. There is no reason to limit oneself to the
pieces that come with the Belville sets. I
currently have a doll house and a barn sitting on
a desk all built to Belville scale. The house is
three stories high complete with kitchen,
bedrooms, bath and living areas. The barn has
stalls for several horses plus haymow and people
quarters upstairs. These are the second
generation dwellings I have built to this scale and
if I had more time and white bricks, I would be
planning the third generation. I also have my
Belville children flying around in Technic
helicopters, riding in Technic beach buggies and
generally terrorizing the Mini-fig scale town. :-

I would agree that Belville sets—as sold—
offer little building possibilities, but the same
might be said of too many TLG sets nowadays.

(...) Yes, and the built-in mystical theme, including props and designs might make it more attractive. It's no big deal to squirt dark grey plastic into a Belville mold rather than pink or purple. (...) Yes, but now that I think of it, the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.belville, lugnet.castle, lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)
