   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.

   On the back of the box and inside the instruction booklet there are some more
   models that
   can be made of the pieces in the set. These models and also the main model on
   the front of the box, don't use all pieces. Next to normal bricks and plates,
   this set contains many odd pieces, of which many have a Fabuland origin and
   others that I haven't seen before. The set has quite a number of different
   pieces, but there are a bit too much specific pieces IMO. Some nice pieces are
   both the large and small fence pieces and the small arches (size 1x4x2, 2 in
   white and 2 in yellow)

   The model has it all: A nice house, a nice garden and a car. Enough
   oppertunities and entries to start playing very. The design of the house and
   garden seat are very good. The car is somewhat less and I see it more as abuggy
   than as a real car.

   As said before, youré ready to play after only a short building period.
   With the cake, tuba, harmonica and the car there is enough to do for Mickey and
   Minnie
   and therefore, I think kids will really like this set

   Nice things about this set is the large number of parts, the varity of parts
   and the nice look of the main model. The house (or window) is attractive.
   The additional musical instruments give many feed for playing.
   A dislike of the set is the large number of specific pieces like the coffeepot
   and the cakes. Also in this set the instructions are to vague IMO.

   Elememts that aren't used in the main model are:
   2x2 round brick white
   2x2 brick white
   2x4 brick blue
   2x4 brick yellow (3)
   2x8 brick yellow
   1x4 brick white (4)
   1x4x2 bar piece black (2)
   4x6 plate blue

   Also included in my copy was an additonal cake that wasn't listed on the box
   and that I couldn't find in the instructions. It has the same shape as the
   white cake, but this one is pink with brown chocolates on top.

   CONCLUSION
   A very nice set. IMO the best set of the first four Mickey Mouse set and
   probably the best to buy first from the Mickey Mouse theme. Definitely
   recommended
