Getting 4886 today got me thinking... is this the first LEGO building since the introduction of the minifig to have 4 walls? Nothing jumps out at me while browing Town sets at Brickset; they all have the back wall open for the 'hand of God' to place (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

Hello! (...) In the early days of the Minifig the buildings were designed to have four walls but could be opened. Sets 374 and 376 come to my mind there: [LEGOSet 3741] [LEGOSet 3762] It's a pity there ain't minifigs included with the new set 4886. (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Thanks, Jojo, you beat me to the punch. I was going to mention the sets with the hinge bricks like #376 and also #375/#6075 the Yellow Castle, which also technically had 4 walls and hinge bricks. This is a real nice set. The only thing that (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I'd like to add Daniel Siskund's Blacksmith Shop (3739)and both versions of Hagrid's Hut to the (small) list of 4-walled buildings since the introduction of the minifig. Those are all fairly recent, so apparently there are some forces within (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

Hello! (...) Sorry Garry, I didn't mean to steal your thunder :-) #375, though, didn't come with closed roomes. The towers are open at two sides, as well as the towers in #6080 and #6085 are open at one side and so on. (I'm a bit embarrassed that (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Of course, understanding the development process for new sets within LEGO, even though it's been accelerated recently, if they say last year that they are returning to classic building roots, we wouldn't see the effects of it until now with (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) In that case 376 would also qualify (US 560 IIRC), same hinge system as in the Blacksmith Shop (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)
