The 4177 video sounds like the same one which comes with 4177. The copy in my
4177 was kind of lousy quality (of course it also went through airline checked
baggage so who knows). The story itself was kind of interesting, though clearly
targetted at younger kids. It does show the characters making a bunch of
different things with the bricks, trying to solve the problem, so it fits the
Creator theme of providing encouragement to make different things with the
bricks (which I think Creator does a better job of than Freestyle did,
providing booklets which really are idea books, with some instructions, and not
just a poster with a bunch of wacky things on it - the Creator idea books
present some decent ideas - though they tend to be simple compared to the real
idea books).
