Set 265-1 Bath Room

Under the Homemaker theme LEGO released several living rooms, kitchens, bath rooms, bed rooms, class rooms in schools, and so on.

This way a brick built family of maxifigs could live in different types of rooms, all compatible with one and another.

Box art and instructions often included pictures of boys and girls playing with these sets. Kids combined the sets into a open-house structure and rearrange to their liking. Playability was guaranteed: storytelling with brick built people in a brick built setting.

Description

The set shows a luxurious bath room, with a toilet, sink, plenty of cupboards stocked with toiletries. And of course a bath, big enough for maxifigs to soak in. It suits all the needs of modern brick built woman, which is also included.

Striking features

We imagined it would be hard to find the cupboards or the smooth baseplates intact. But white cupboards cross our path all the time. And we have all three colours of this particular 24×24 baseplate in our collection now (light gray, red and blue).

Another critical element would be the 1×1 round brick with a closed stud. But that doesn’t seem to apply to the trans-clear ones. Although their state is disputable, since a lot of them have cracks on the bottom.

In fact it’s the stickers which hard to obtain. Obviously because LEGO instructed to stick them across several bricks. And an assembly like that is hard to maintain. Especially when kids – as intended – started to reuse the parts for custom creations.

Saving the set

We saved this set from a LEGO haul, but with a lot of discoloured parts. Help us out: should we keep the white marble pattern on the walls? Or should we replace them with whiter parts?

We were lucky enough to find an instruction book in good condition. Since the stickers are missing, we have added the set to our private collection.
