Build a push-along robot with a cupboard tummy, rocket house with an alien pilot or a busy bee with window wings. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The 1970's LEGOLand vehicles had proper minifigs, but the vehicle scales were way too small, but they work in the background.

The primary goal of the Bricks and More theme was to provide sets that were centered around basic building. From the 1975 small 2×3 door that didn’t open to the new 4×6 door twice the size, what will future LEGO doors offer?

Like Ricecracker, I think there is a place for making your own doors, though my attempts have led to heavy yet flimsy structures - good for historical buildings but unwieldy round town. I cannot mention realism as a deciding factor for me since I don't MOC in a "proffesional" way and extreme accuracy and realism is something that's not my target when it comes to LEGO.

It was great to see "proper" Lego such as the kind I had growing up where you have to totally use your imagination to build things. Perhaps the nostalgia factor plays a significant role in here, as well as what the eye is used to when it comes to LEGO doors.

This latest door - mainly the frame makes it more useful, not only can we have standard opening doors but large plane windows or even sliding doors (COOL) ! One of the most positive aspects that you also correctly state is that old doors could work on their own, without having the need of a support piece. The 4x5 would fit in perfectly on a farmhouse or on another more rural type building, whereas the new 4x6 door has a more contemporary look. I'm perfectly happy with the option of the 4x6 doors, but I hope the old 4x5 doors (and the glass-paned ones) are not ditched permanently.But I'm afraid we've lost our beloved 5-high doors, where I hoped they would continue to exist next to today's doors. Hey, look at the little door”, I said to myself as I could not wait to attach it to the green baseplate. only windows/doors with studs on top and "whole bricks" without slots on the sides were now the standard (in 1956). Many of you know this door well, and the upper four pain openings that allowed peepers to see inside Classic Town structures. Another minor issue I have with the new door is that the doorknob stud is too close to the edge of the door, so that it's impossible to add any kind of doorknob on the inside of the door without it jamming in the door frame.
