This paper is an information leaflet that has been given to resellers in
Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As at least one reseller has offered
this product for pre-order (thus giving us the price and availability,
too), I'd say this is propably no hoax.
The official sales price is supposed to be EUR49.99, and the pre-order
price of this particular reseller is EUR39.99. The target date is
October 2004.

"What is the first thing you would connect to building? A house, of course!
Finally, Lego picks up this popular and often requested theme, which
will be continued in 2005. This set contains everything to make your
dream home come true: rectangular, round and sloped elements for the
walls, red rooftiles, doors and windows with shutters, tiles for the
footpath, fences and even trees.
Only for/via certified resellers!"
