IMPRESSION
Ten years after the Fabuland theme ended, many of the parts used in that
theme returned in the new Mickey Mouse sets. As a collector of Fabuland I
couldn't let the Mickey Mouse sets stay on the shelf and here's the review of
them.
The Mickey mouse sets are in my opinion the new Fabuland sets. Many parts that
were previously used in the Fabuland theme are now used again. Also the style
of the sets are similar and also the scale of the figures is very much like the
Fabuland sets.
This set has very nice parts especially many Fabuland parts. Other nice parts
are the fence pieces and the lampposts. The pile of bricks in the background
contain enough parts to make another car and a small windmill.
The main model is very good. Both the house and car look nice, although the
house might have
had a bit more volume. Also nice is the seat in the garden.
Of course the playability of this set is very good with both Mickey and Minnie
in.
They can have a cup of coffee, walk in the house, go for a ride or work in the
garden.
What is very nice about this set is its realistic look and the color scheme is
very nice. Next to the many Fabuland pieces, which I like myself very much are
the many possibilities to change the models and move them with respect to
eachother.
Something I don't like about the set is the fact that the birdcage is placed on
a turntable, which I find at least strange.
This set has many additonal elements, enough to make another car and a small
windmill. These pieces are:
2x2 brick yellow
2x2x3 brick blue (2)
2x4 brick blue
2x8 brick blue (2)
1x4 brick red (4)
1x6 brick red (2)
4x10 brick green
2x6 plate green (2)
4x6 plate blue (2)
2x2 brick with pin blue
2x4 brick with tow hook red
2x4 brick with tow hole red
2x4 brick with 2 pins red (2)
wheels (4)
Windmill yellow
CONCLUSION
A nice set that I could really recommend.
