I agree with Lawrence. I prefer the original roof. Anyway, it's not paper,
it's a fairly durable plastic. On top of that it's printed, and looks a lot
better on the model than anything you could do with current bricks. I can't
say I'm a big fan of the large blocks that make up five of the walls, or the
way the back of the fireplace isn't secured at the top, but overall it's a
fantastic looking model. Opening it up to a semi-circle provides a
brilliant playset, and it's good value for parts.
If your roof doesn't look right, or won't open, then you're folding it
wrong. Mine looks fine. Just because you can't build something like that
from your existing parts, doesn't mean the Lego company has to stick to old
stuff too.

Hardly. It's a great set and they deserve to sell a lot of them.
